Answer 1

 1. 解析：選A。聯(lián)系空前的looking for a line可推斷出，“我”找了一個(gè)隊(duì)并進(jìn)入這個(gè)隊(duì)，等候付賬。pass by從旁邊經(jīng)過(guò)，聯(lián)系后文可知，此時(shí)“我”在排隊(duì)。

2. 解析：選C。由文意可知，“我”選擇這個(gè)隊(duì)，在這里等候的原因是，一個(gè)顧客即將付賬，還有一個(gè)顧客買的東西不是很多。B項(xiàng)有一定的干擾性，聯(lián)系后文“這位顧客為后面的婦女付賬”可知，她此時(shí)準(zhǔn)備付賬，而不是準(zhǔn)備離開。

3. 解析：選B。聯(lián)系前文我們知道，“我”在排隊(duì)，再聯(lián)系空前的waiting for可知，“我”在等 “我”的順序。

4. 解析：選B。由空后“she had just had some kind of medical treatment”可知應(yīng)用as if。even though即使；in case以防；so that以便于。

5. 解析：選D。聯(lián)系空后的“as if she had known a lot of pain”可知，作者在此處描述婦女臉上的表情。

6. 解析：選C。由空前的“and”表明本空與前面的she had known a lot of pain為并列關(guān)系，因此選C。表示她似乎厭倦一切。

7. 解析：選A。聯(lián)系下文的“her groceries in her backpack”可知，婦女帶背包來(lái)是為了向里面裝食品的。

8. 解析：選B。聯(lián)系空后的at home可以推斷出，婦女身體不好，她到商店來(lái)買這些食品是為了在家里自己照顧自己的。attend在這里是“照料”的意思。

9. 解析：選C。聯(lián)系后文可知，這位婦女前面的顧客為她付了錢，這說(shuō)明她帶的錢不夠，因此此處表達(dá)她翻來(lái)覆去地?cái)?shù)著自己手中的錢。

10. 解析：選A。聯(lián)系空后的“to pay for her groceries”可知，“我”希望自己有支付她食品的錢。B, D兩項(xiàng)有一定干擾性，聯(lián)系后文可知，作者因?yàn)槟馨阉�的食品放進(jìn)背包，然后送她回家感到欣慰，并覺得自己做了能做的事情，因此是沒有錢支付那人的食品。

11. 解析：選C。由文意可知，那位生病的婦女前面的顧客提出要為她付錢，這是“我”沒有料到的，因此“我”很吃驚。其他選項(xiàng)均不能表達(dá)事情的發(fā)展超乎自己的預(yù)料。

12. 解析：選D。聯(lián)系空前的softly和空后那人說(shuō)的話可知，那人是很溫柔地并低聲地對(duì)這位婦女說(shuō)。

13. 解析：選A。聯(lián)系下文的“this one is on me”可知，那人要為生病的婦女付賬，因此她讓婦女把錢收起來(lái)。put away把……收起來(lái)。put down放下；寫下；put off脫下；撲滅；put up張貼；穿上；建立。

14. 解析：選C。聯(lián)系空后的內(nèi)容可知，這名婦女拒絕了好幾次，因此此處應(yīng)為她搖頭拒絕。

15. 解析：選B。聯(lián)系空后的until it happened可知，盡管生病的婦女一再拒絕，她前面的人一直堅(jiān)持要為她付錢。

16. 解析：選B。聯(lián)系空后的in her backpack可知，“我”把生病婦女買的東西放到背包里面。

17. 解析：選C。聯(lián)系空后的I was heading in可知，“我”告訴了她“我”去的方向。A項(xiàng)有一定干擾性，如果用place，與之搭配的介詞應(yīng)該是to。

18. 解析：選D。聯(lián)系下文的“As she got out of my car she said to me”可知，她搭乘了“我”的車，因此對(duì)于“我”的邀請(qǐng)，她接受了。

19. 解析：選C。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)及根據(jù)句意可知，空前后為并列關(guān)系，故選C。

20. 解析：選B。句意為：別人能做的，“我”做不了，然而“我”也運(yùn)用了“我”能幫助他人的其他方式。in turn反過(guò)來(lái)；in return作為回報(bào)，or else否則。
