【解析】本文為記敘文。文章的內(nèi)容與初到人生地不熟的城市，遇到難處，最終得到陌生人的幫助。

1.考查形容詞。從下文“要去醫(yī)院”來看，應(yīng)該是生理上出了問題（physical problem即生病了）。

2.考查形容詞。因為生病了，所以要去醫(yī)院做個徹底（全面）的檢查。

3.考查名詞。下文中的“face”的邏輯賓語是“the one”，“the one”指代的那個詞就是本題的答案。從下文看應(yīng)該是“challenge”。比起我即將面臨的挑戰(zhàn)，這（指生病）似乎算不什么挑戰(zhàn)。

4.考查固定搭配。從下文“沒有車，也不......”來看，應(yīng)該是從一開始事情就不妙，即出了問題。Everything goes wrong.

5.根據(jù)下文可知，作者搭錯車，迷路，說明作者并不熟悉B城市。

6.考查連詞。

7.考查形容詞。

8.考查形容詞。

以上三題要連起來一并考慮。從搭錯了車可以推斷，公共汽車把我?guī)�向了相反的方向，故就此推斷很明顯就要遲到了。“就要遲到”與“給自己留了足夠的時間”之間應(yīng)該是讓步關(guān)系。句意：盡管我給自己留了足夠的時間，但眼看就要遲到了，因為我上錯了車，汽車載著我向相反的方向開去。

9.考查動詞短語。我得知坐錯了車自然是要下車的。句意：我下了車，站在人行道上不知如何是好。

10.考查名詞。我初來乍到，在陌生的城市，我放眼望去的當然是陌生人。

11.考查副詞。由后文 instead of moving on 得知，陌生人停下來搭理我 出乎我的意料，使我感到驚訝。

12.考查常識。本題很容易排除BD選項，因為作者根本不會激動也談不上有什么危險。倒是在A和C項的選擇上需要斟酌。陌生人止步并主動問我，一定是因為覺得我遇到了麻煩和困難，所以得問我是否需要幫忙， Are you OK ? “你沒事吧？”

13.考查名詞。在被主動提供幫助的情況下，我自然是要告知對方我此時的處境。

14.考查名詞。本題比較難判斷。結(jié)合上文“我要去醫(yī)院檢查”，根據(jù)西方生活常識去醫(yī)院看病是要預(yù)約的。所以這兒用“appointment”，指我預(yù)約的醫(yī)院。

15.考查形容詞。對別人的幫助當然要表示感激了。

16.考查副詞。用“then（接著）”表示時間的先后。按照記敘文中故事的完整性可得知，陌生人在指路之后又開車回來主動幫我。

17.考查動詞。首先排除 A 與 B，顯然不會是盯著我，嘲笑我讓我上車。而 C,D 選項容易誤選選擇 D 項“shout at ”其實表示的是帶著激烈情緒的喊。因此選擇 C，表示向誰招手。句意：接著附近響起了了喇叭聲，我抬頭一看，看到了一輛車，車內(nèi)的新朋友向我招招手讓我上車。

18.考查名詞。 陌生人開車過來主動提供幫助， 讓我搭車去醫(yī)院。offer sb. a lift是主動讓某人搭車。give sb a lift 讓某人搭順風(fēng)車。

19.考查名詞。按照記敘文先抑后揚的原則，文章最后一定會總結(jié)全文并抒發(fā)積極意義的感慨：即對于陌生人的主動提供幫助的這一善舉表示贊賞。從下文的“a lovely gift ”也可以知道這兒應(yīng)該用“kindness”。句意：如此未曾料到的來自過路人的好意是我收到的一件可愛的禮物。

20.考查名詞。文章最后總結(jié)段落：除了對陌生人的善舉表示贊賞之外，作 者還通過陌生人之口表達了我想抒發(fā)的感情： 任何時候都不要喪失信心， 因為一切皆有可能。 lose faith 失去信心。
