【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,作者将钱包落在了公共汽车上,Erin捡到了作者的
钱包,在寒冷的黑夜亲自登门归还钱包。
作者深受感动。
(1)考查形容词。
A:accessible“可以获得的,可以进入的”;B:hidden“隐藏的”;C:unknown“未知的,不知道的”;D:convenient “方便的,便利的”。
根据上文“fear seized me. My wallet was gone.”可知,作者将钱包落在了公共汽车上,而汽车正在开往某个作者未知
的地方,这使得找回钱包的希望渺茫,因此作者心生恐惧。
故选C。
(2)考查形容词。
A:face-saving“保全体面的;顾全面子的”;B:brain-washing“洗脑的”;C:eye-catching“引人注目的,耀眼的”;D:heart-stopping “令人心跳停止的,惊心动
魄的”。
根据上文“fear seized me”可以推知,作者在发现丢了钱包之后的第一感觉是“害怕”。

故该空应和fear表达的意思相近,故选D。
(3)考查名词。
A:parts“部分,角色,作用,零件”;B:contents“内容,内含物”;C:
details“细节”;D:ingredients“原料,要素,组成部分” 。

A:still“一直,仍然”;B:ever“曾经”;C:yet“但是”;D:even“甚至”。
作者甚至还没有来得及到门口感谢那位女士,她就离开了。

故选C。
(8)考查名词。
A:delay“延误,耽搁”;B;alarm“警报”;C:regret“后悔,遗憾”;D:i nvitation“邀请”。
找到了那位拾金不昧的女士,作者当然要毫不耽搁地打电话去感谢对方。
故选A。

A:moved“移动”;B:placed“放置”;C:opened“打开”;D:spotted “发现,认出”。
作者将钱包落在了公共汽车上,Erin是在一个座位上发现了它。
故选D。
(10)考查动词。

根据下文的“a bitterly cold night”可知,这件事发生在一个寒冷的晚上。

故选C。
(11)考查形容词。
A:selfless“无私的”;B:risky“冒险的”;C:slow“缓慢的”;D:personal“个人的”。
根据下文中的转折词but可知,该句和“she decided to take the chance”她决定冒险,是转折关系。

故选B。
(12)考查名词。
A:site“地点,位置”;B:direction“方向,指导”;C:situation“形势,情况”;D:atmosphere “气氛,氛围”。
该句叙述的是Erin当时的想法:“如果我处在那种情况下(指丢了钱包这种情形),我希望有个人努力地找到我”。

该空表示“是否”,故选A。

根据后面的转折词but可知,该句和下文“but they wanted to help.”是转折关系,由此推知,该句指:除了闲聊,作者和那两位妈妈从来没有说过话,即:从未和她们交换过词语。
故选B。
(17)考查动词。
A:encounter“偶遇,遇到,邂逅”;B:follow“跟随,遵循”;C:
consult“咨询”;D:accompany “陪伴”。
作者曾经读到这样的说法:人们比以往更加四分五裂,即:人们不像以前那样团结,不像以前那样互相帮助了。
但是,作者遇到的这些人的
行为方式不是那样的。
上文中提到的Erin,two moms都是作者遇到的人。
故选A。
(18)考查动词短语。
A:Going away“走开”;B:Turning around“转身”;C:Looking back“回顾,追忆”;D:Coming along“一起前往”。
回顾发生的这件事,作者感到很幸运:
有人想帮助一个陌生人。
故选C。
(19)考查介词。
根据倒数第二段中的“people are more divided”可以推知,一般人在捡到
别人的钱包后,都不会像Erin那样亲自归还失主。
因此该句指:Erin的所作所为远远超越
了其他人的行为。
该空表示“超过,超越”,故选D。
(20)考查形容词。
A:longing“渴望的”;B:enthusiastic“热情的”;C:concerned“关心的”;D:grateful “感激的”。
