Question

Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One time I arrived in the middle of the night for a pickup at a building that was 1 except for a single light in a ground floor window. I walked to the door and knocked.
A small woman in her 80’s opened the door. I took her suitcase to the cab then returned to 2 her into the cab. She thanked me for my kindness. When we got in the taxi, she gave me a(n)3 , then asked, “Could you drive through downtown ?”
“It’s not the 4 way,” I answered.
“Oh, I don’t mind,” she said. “I’m in no hurry. I’m on my way to a hospice (臨終關(guān)懷醫(yī)院).”
I looked in the rear view mirror. Her eyes were glistening.
“The doctor says I don’t have very long.”
I quietly reached over and 5 the meter (計(jì)程器). “What 6 would you like me to take?” I asked.
For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked as an elevator operator. We drove through the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived. Sometimes she’d ask me to 7 in front of a particular building or corner and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.
As the sun was 8, she suddenly said: “I’m tired. Let’s go now.”
We drove in 9 to the address she had given me. There were people waiting for her and they put her in a wheelchair.
“How much do I have to pay you?” she asked, reaching into her purse.
“Nothing,” I said.
Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly.
“You gave an old woman a little moment of 10,” she said.
I squeezed her hand, then walked into the dim morning light. Behind me, a door shut.
I didn’t 11 any more passengers that shift. I drove aimlessly, lost in thought. We tend to think that our lives revolve around great moments. But great moments often 12us unconsciously.

試題分析：我們習(xí)慣性地認(rèn)為我們的生命中有一些重大的時刻，然而重大的時刻往往在不經(jīng)意時降臨到我們身上--也許在別人眼中是小事，也許人們不會完全記住你所做的事，或者你所說的話……但他們卻會永遠(yuǎn)記住你帶給他們的感覺。在這篇文章中作者帶給我們的就是這樣一種感受。
1.B形容詞辨析。A.古代的； B. 黑的 ；C. 臟的 ；D. 遙遠(yuǎn)的。根據(jù)下文except for a single light可知半夜的時候除了從老人房間里透出的燈光外，這棟樓一片漆黑， 故答案選B。
2.C動詞辨析。A. 邀請 ；B. 觀看；C. 幫助； D. 收到。由情理可知作者幫老人把行李放好后，回來幫老人上車，故答案選C。
3.A名詞辨析。A. 地址；B. 信；C. 演講；D. 禮物。根據(jù)情理判斷人們坐上出租車后應(yīng)該告訴司機(jī)要去的地址，而且下文44  to the address也提示此處填address，所以A選項(xiàng)正確。
4.D形容詞辨析。A. 錯的；B.最有趣的；C. 最安全的； D. 最短的。根據(jù)下文老人的話以及下文內(nèi)容可知老人只想在去臨終關(guān)懷醫(yī)院前再看看這個城市而沒去想會繞遠(yuǎn)，所以司機(jī)此處是提醒老人，故答案選D。
5.C動詞短語辨析。A. 刪除；B. 賣弄；C. 關(guān)   ；D. 打開。根據(jù)下文可知作者免費(fèi)載著老人轉(zhuǎn)了她生活了一輩子的地方，由此可知作者伸手去關(guān)掉了計(jì)程器，答案選C。
6.D名詞辨析。A. 方向；B. 命令；C. 角色；D.路線。根據(jù)情理以及下文we drove through the city. She showed me the building可知作者此時問老人行車的路線，故D選項(xiàng)正確。
7.D動詞短語辨析。A. 壞掉 B. 下車；C. 加速； D.減速。由下文老人的表現(xiàn)sit staring into the darkness,可以推測當(dāng)老人看到那些帶給她回憶的地方時應(yīng)該讓司機(jī)把車子開慢，而自己則陷入回憶當(dāng)中，故答案選D。
8.C動詞辨析。A. 改變；B. 移動；C. 升起 ；D. 設(shè)置。根據(jù)上文內(nèi)容I arrived in the middle of the night可知作者是半夜載著老人在城市里穿行的，由此推測此時天已經(jīng)亮了，太陽升起來了，故答案選C。
9.C名詞辨析。A. 黑暗；B.噪音；C.安靜；D.傷心。由上文“I’m tired. Let’s go now.”以及情理可知轉(zhuǎn)了大半夜的老人感覺累了，所以他們不再說話，答案選C。
10.A名詞辨析。A. 歡樂；B.興趣；C.麻煩；D. 驚奇。根據(jù)上文內(nèi)容可知作者載著老人穿行在城市中，讓老人又重溫了美好的回憶，所以判斷作者帶給老人的是快樂，故答案選A。
11.C 動詞短語辨析。A. 交談 ；B. 打電話 ；C. 撿起 ；D. 帶走。從文章內(nèi)容可知作者是出租車司機(jī)，老人是他的乘客，由此推斷C選項(xiàng)正確，句意：那晚我沒有拉載其他的乘客。
12.A動詞辨析。A. 抓住、捕獲； B. 駕駛；C.改善；D.迷惑。由語境可知此處指有些重大時刻會在不經(jīng)意間降臨到人們身上，所以答案選A。
