【解析】短文大意：曾經(jīng)的窮小子Howard Kelly在窮困潦倒時(shí)，得到了一位善良的女性的一杯牛奶的幫助。數(shù)年后他成長(zhǎng)為一名有名的醫(yī)生，而他恰恰遇到了他的救命恩人，他知恩必報(bào)，盡全力挽救了她的生命。

【1】句意：他很餓，因此決定在下家討一頓飯吃。A. tired疲勞的；B. sad悲傷的；C. thirsty口渴的；D. hungry饑餓的。結(jié)合下文 he decided to beg for a meal at the next house 可知，男孩決定在下家要點(diǎn)吃的東西。由此可知，他應(yīng)該是餓了，故答案選D。

【3】句意：他慢慢地喝了起來。結(jié)合上文，年輕的女人給了男孩一杯牛奶，男孩應(yīng)該是慢慢地喝了牛奶。drink 意為“喝”，由于事情發(fā)生在過去，應(yīng)使用一般過去時(shí)。因此 drank 符合題意。eat 意為“吃”，不符合題意。答案為D。

【4】句意：你沒有欠我什么。結(jié)合下文 Mother has taught me never to accept pay for a kindness 可知，媽媽時(shí)常教導(dǎo)“我”，施以愛心，不圖回報(bào)。由此可知，年輕女人說的是：你什么也不欠“我”的。故B項(xiàng)符合題意。everything 意為“所有”，anything 意為“任何事”，something 意為“某些事”，均不符合題意。

【5】句意：多年以后那位婦女生了重病。A. ill生病的；B. healthy健康的；C. well良好的，健康的；D. fine好的，健康的。結(jié)合下文 She was sent to a hospital in the big city 可知，女人應(yīng)是生病了，所有才被送到大城市的醫(yī)院。故答案選A。

【7】句意：他決定不管有多大的困難，他都要拯救她的生命。A. body身體；B. life生命；C. live居�。�D. illness疾病。結(jié)合上下文，女人生了重病，不管有多難，成為了醫(yī)生的男孩都要救女人的命（life）。故正確答案為B。

【9】句意：Kelly醫(yī)生讓營(yíng)業(yè)廳把最后的賬單交給他。A. she她，主格；B. her她，賓格；C. him他，賓格；D. he他，主格。根據(jù)下文中的句子“He looked at it and then wrote something on the side.”可知，答案為C。介詞to后跟代詞賓格形式。

【10】句意：他害怕把它打開，因?yàn)樗�認(rèn)為高額的醫(yī)藥費(fèi)需要她的余生才能償還。A. since意為“既然”，表示對(duì)方已知的無需加以說明的原因或事實(shí)；B. as soon as意為“一…就…”；C. so因此；D. because意為“因?yàn)?/span>”，結(jié)合下文 she was afraid that it would take the rest of her life to pay it off 可知，由于女人害怕高額的醫(yī)藥費(fèi)需要她的余生才能償還，所以她不敢打開賬單。因此空格處應(yīng)使用表原因的連詞。because符合題意，故正確答案為D。
