体裁：记叙文题材：社会生活主题：人间处处是温暖

【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了一个温馨的故事：Norah在商店对一个她不认识的老人说“今天是我的生日”，随后还要求与老人一起合影，后来他们竟然成了忘年交。Norah给这个因妻子突然离世而伤心的老人带来了慰藉和欢乐。

1．municated B．responded

C．smiled D．escaped

答案与解析：C考查动词。根据故事情节，Norah非常喜欢这位老人，所以当看到老人走过时，她向他微笑(smiled)并挥手致意。

2．A.noise B．sorrow

C．interruption D．impoliteness

答案与解析：D考查名词。Norah对着老人喊“嘿，老头儿”，这在作者看来是对老人的不礼貌(impoliteness)，所以作者尴尬地向老人道歉。

3．A.chatted B．stood

C．waited D．discussed

答案与解析：A考查动词。根据下文中的“him in on the details of her birthday”可知，他们闲聊(chatted)了几分钟。

4．A.dropping B．filling

C．calling D．putting

答案与解析：B考查动词。在他们的交谈中，Norah 一直在告诉老人有关她的生日的细节。fill sb. in(on sth.)“向某人提供(情况)”为固定用法。

5．A.separate B．narrow

C．long D．crowded

答案与解析：A考查形容词。根据下文中的“We back found him”可知，作者他们和老人分路而行。separate“分开的”，go one's separate ways“分路而行；分道扬镳”为固定用法。

6．A.reminded B．predicted

C．decided D．remembered

答案与解析：C考查动词。Norah决定(decided)要与老人一起合影。

7．A.talk B．reunion

“She'd like to know if you'd take a photo with her”可知选picture。

8．A.street B．store

C．restaurant D．community

答案与解析：B考查名词。从第一段中的“at the grocery store”和下文中的“other shoppers”可知，作者他们在商店(store)找到了老人。

9．A.expecting B．allowing

C．requiring D．causing

答案与解析：A考查动词。作者考虑到之前Norah已经对老人不礼貌了，现在还想与老人合影，于是预料(expecting)老人可能会生气。

10．stly B．Besides

C．Instead D．Suddenly

答案与解析：C考查副词。作者预料老人可能会生气，而下文谈到作者得到的是完全相反的回应——老人很高兴。由此可知，本空应选Instead“相反”。

11．A.annoyed B．delighted

C．disappointed D．prepared

答案与解析：B考查形容词。参见上题解析。

12．A.greeted B．hugged

C．supported D．encouraged

13．cated B．attracted

C．delayed D．blocked

答案与解析：D考查动词。他们在商店里合影，势必会挡住(blocked)其他购物者，但是没有人在意。

14．A.memorized B．paid
