解析
家庭的不幸、失业的压力和生活的窘迫并没有让“我”丧失道德,“我”将捡到的雨伞归还给了它的主人。最终善有善报,“我”出乎意料地找到了一份销售经理的工作。 小题1:“我”没有雨伞,因为那把旧伞已经“散架”了。break up“(使)破碎”;go away“离开,走开”;fade away“褪色,逐渐消失”,均不符合语境。 答案 C 小题2:由于离婚和失业,“我”买不起另外一把伞。afford表示“买得起;能支付”。 答案 A 小题3:根据下一段的开头“I got off the bus...”可知,“我”在“公共汽车”上坐了下来。 答案 B 小题4:后一句说“I had __15__ seen angthing so lovely.”,由此可知这是一把非常“漂亮的”伞。 答案 B 小题5:这把伞做工讲究,“我”以前“从未”见过如此可爱的东西。 答案 D 小题6:根据第20空后面的“...for the name on the umbrella.”可知,伞柄上刻有一个“名字”。 答案 C 小题7:这是在公共汽车上捡到的别人丢失的东西,正常的程序是把雨伞“上交”给售票员。turn in“上交”。 答案 A 小题8:“我”“想到”一个主意,决定自己带着雨伞找到失主。occur to sb“(主意或想法突然)浮现于某人的脑海中”。 答案 A 小题9:作者在倾盆大雨中下了车,由此可知作者“感激地”打开这把伞遮雨。 答案 D 小题10:作者从电话簿上“查找”雨伞上的那个名字。search“查找,搜寻”。 答案 B 小题11:作者拨通电话后,一位女士“接听”了电话。此处answer表示“接电话”。 答案 C 小题12:女士突然有了雨伞的消息,自然感到非常“惊讶”。后三项分别表示“恐慌”“沉默”“愤怒”,显然不符合语境。 答案 A 小题13:此处add表示“补充说”。assume“假定”;declare“宣布,声明”;announce“宣告,公布”。 答案 B 小题14:这把伞一个月以前就被人“从”门阶前偷走了。 答案 A 小题15:女士如此激动以至于作者当时“忘记”了自己正在寻找工作,径直去了那位女士的家。 答案 B 小题16:女士接过这把雨伞后,眼中满是“泪水”。 答案 C 小题17:根据本句内容可知,女士想给作者钱作为“报酬”。 答案 D 小题18:第四段提到这是女士已经去世的父母送给她的生日礼物,由此可知这是一把非常“特殊的”雨伞。 答案 D 小题19: 作者相信接受了她的钱就会“毁坏”某种东西。 答案 B 小题20:下一句提到也许是“我”的善心有了回报,由此可知作者“出乎意料地”得到了一份销售经理的工作。 答案 D |
