【文章大意】作者非常重视友谊，朋友患病无钱医治，他在自己身无分文的情况下，想尽一切办法为朋友筹钱治病，真诚说服了医生，行为触动了老板，如愿以偿筹到了手术费。作者通过实际行动，证明了“A friend in need is a friend indeed. ”。
16.【解析】选B。从之后的分句“but soon I met a group of new friends and they were really nice”对比看，在此之前作者还没有朋友，所以是“孤独的”，lonely符合语境。
17.【解析】选C。strange奇怪的，陌生的；wrong出错的；unexpected意外的，意想不到的；unfair不公平的。此处指有位朋友突患肾结石使人意想不到。
18.【解析】选A。根据空白处后的surgically以及operation可以推测朋友需要通过手术取出肾结石。remove除去，移除；reduce减少；examine检查；lift举起, 提升。
19.【解析】选C。摘除肾结石并不像说得那样简单，从而引出下面面临的问题。terrible可怕的；painful痛苦的；simple简单的；special特殊的。
20.【解析】选D。结合上文及下文的I didn’t know how to help him because I didn’t have any money either. 可知这位朋友付不起手术费。
21.【解析】选A。词义辨析。anxiety焦虑，紧张；confusion迷惑，迷茫；embarrassment尴尬；dissatisfaction不满。句意: 患病的朋友因为付不起手术费，陷入焦虑之中。
22.【解析】选C。根据上下文“. . . didn’t have any money either”和“I never lost hope”可以知道尽管作者也没有足够的钱（帮助朋友），但他仍没有放弃希望，因而空白处需要使用表示“但是”含义的转折词，however符合要求。
23.【解析】选B。词义辨析。reason原因，理由；option选项，选择；symptom症状，征兆；expectation期待，期望。option在此处可以理解为“方法”，虽然作者没钱帮助朋友，但还是转而考虑其他办法。
24.【解析】选B。句意：在离开医院前，我和医生交谈并请求他（给我朋友）做手术，告诉医生自己会在第二天付清医药费。而事实上作者身无分文，作者在说这些的时候理直气壮，就仿佛自己真有这笔钱似的，所以用as if表明当时的状态。
25.【解析】选D。结合本句可以知道医生竟然同意了作者要求做手术的请求，说明当时作者肯定理直气壮，很有说服力。encouraging令人激动的；annoying令人恼火的；astonishing令人吃惊的；convincing令人信服的。故选D。
26.【解析】选A。判断词义。结合上下文可知，尽管医生同意做手术，但作者现在根本拿不出那么多钱。由此推测句意：尽管处理这种情况会很困难，但我还是决定努力试一试。challenging有挑战性的，有困难的；disturbing心神不安的；amazing令人吃惊的；scaring吓人的，恐怖的。所以选A。
27.【解析】选D。句意: 我试着借钱却没人借给我。我试着变卖自己的东西却没人买。selling在此最合适。
28.【解析】选C。作者在困难时突然想起了一个人，根据下文“I asked him if I could have my next two months’ salary in advance”可以知道作者想预支薪水，所以这个人应该是作者的老板。colleague同事；relative亲戚；boss老板；surgeon外科医生。
29.【解析】选B。作者请求老板给他预支两个月的薪水以便能付朋友的医药费。所以作者当时都没考虑在接下来两个月自己身无分文该怎么维持生计。adapt适应，改编；survive存活；continue继续；wander徘徊，漫步。B项最合适。
30.【解析】选A。结合上下文可知，作者请求老板预支两个月的薪水，老板在了解作者情况之后和之前的医生一样答应了他的请求，所以作者应该感到幸运。luckily符合句意。
31.【解析】选C。词义辨析。analysis分析；dignity尊严；hesitation犹豫；remark注意，言辞。句意：老板也答应了我，毫不犹豫地给了我两个月的薪水。
32.【解析】选B。联系上下文，作者拿到了预支的薪水之后替朋友付清了医院账单，朋友不知道该如何感谢作者，作者就说：“来吧，让我们拥抱一下！”hug是拥抱之意。
33.【解析】选D。推测这句话隐含的意思是“无论何时，你都能发现友情的存在”。所以空白处所填单词词义和happy相反，选择toughest，意为“最困难的”。
34.【解析】选A。supportive支持的，能给予帮助的；sensitive敏感的，易受伤害的；aggressive有侵略性的，好斗的; attentive专心的。本文中作者以实际行动帮助了患病的朋友，所以用supportive形容作者最为合适。
35.【解析】选D。联系全文，作者所做的一切不但帮助朋友顺利完成了手术而且获得了朋友的真心感谢，所以在作者看来自己的努力是值得的。“It’s well worth+名词”是固定搭配，意为“做……是值得的”。
