Oliver Twist, one of the most famous works of Charles Dickens, is a novel reflecting the tragic fact of the life in Britain in the 19th century.
The author who himself was born in a poor family wrote this novel in his twenties with a view to reveal the ugly masks of those cruel criminals and to 36 the horror and violence hidden underneath the narrow and dirty streets in London.
The hero of this novel was Oliver Twist, an orphan, who was thrown into a world full of  37
and crime. He suffered enormous pain, 38 hunger, thirst, beating and abuse. While reading the tragic experiences of little Oliver, I was shocked by his sufferings. I 39 the poor boy, but at the same time I detested the evil Fagin and the brutal Bill. To my relief, as was written in all the best stories, the goodness eventually conquered  40  and Oliver lived a happy life in the end. One of the plots that attracted me 41  is that after the theft, little Oliver was allowed to recover in the kind care of Mrs Maylie and Rose and 42  a new life.
How can such a little boy who had already suffered oppressive pain 43  pure in body and mind? The reason is the nature of goodness. I think it is the most important information 44 in the novel by Dickens --- he believed that goodness could conquer  45  difficulty.
Goodness is to human what water is to fish. He who is without goodness is an utterly  46  person. On the contrary, as the famous saying goes, “ The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose.” He who is with goodness undoubtedly is a happy and useful person. People receiving his help are grateful to him and he also gets gratified from what he has done, and thus he can do  47  to both the people he has helped and himself.

这是一篇《雾都孤儿》读后感。作者分析了主人公的生活经历，最后得出结论：施舍于己于人便是施舍于己。正如谚语所说的“送人玫瑰，手有余香”。
36. C 根据本句句子结构, 此处动词应当与前面的并列动词 reveal“揭露”同义,expose表示满意“揭露,揭穿”,符合语境。open打开；exploit开发；cover覆盖。
37. B 根据and crime 可知，要选的词应与crime同类，再根据下文的hunger可推测，应用poverty表示“贫穷”。honour恐惧；glory荣耀；imagination想象。
38. C   such as 后多接同类并列的几个名词,不接句子; for example和for instance同义,它们后面常接句子,有时后面可接一个名词。
39. D 此处用feel sorry for表示“同情”。look down upon轻视；make an apology for道歉；play a joke on戏弄。
40. D 根据语境可知,此处应该是与goodness意义相反的词,因此只能用devil,表示“邪恶”。kindness好心; carelessness粗心；relationship关系。
41. B 此处表示的意义为“最吸引我的东西”,其原级形式为much,因此最高级为most。
42. A 此处表示“开始了新的生活”, 故选C。
43. B 根据下文的形容词pure可知，此处应用系动词，并且有“保持”的意思，故用remain。
44. B 此处为“暗含”之义，故用imply。contain含有；import进口；add添加。
45. A 善行能战胜一切困难。用every表示“所有的，一切的”。some某些，little很少，much很多。
46. B 由上文“一个没有善行的人”推断用worthless,表示“无价值的,无用的”。且下文中的“He who is with…and useful person”也有提示。gracious亲切的；earnest真挚的；modest谦逊的。
47. C 根据上下文语境可知,此处表示“对……有好处”,用。do justice to公平对待，适当处理。
