【解析】

作者偶然翻开卡片, 思绪回到从前, 恩情永生难忘, 世界如此温暖。一张卡片, 一位好人, 一段美好的人生回忆。

1.选C。习语搭配题。作者看到这张卡片后, 把它“翻过来”去看卡片背面的内容。turn over表示“翻转”。

2.2】选C。逻辑推理题。在卡片的背面, 有草草的手写的“信息”, 字都退色了。message一般指口头传递的或书写的信息, 是可数名词。D项通常指消息、情报、资料等, 是不可数名词, 故排除。

3.3】选D。逻辑推理题。看到卡片上的内容, 作者的思绪立刻“回”到了多年以前。

4.4】选A。词汇复现题。根据第二段最后一句中的“magazines”可知作者当时背着一包“杂志”。

5.5】选B。词语辨析题。作者当天转了几圈后, 最终来到了那家公司。

6.6】选D。词语辨析题。Mr. Rader总是把作者带到那里, “询问”他的员工是否想购买作者的杂志。

7.7】选D。习语搭配题。作者像一只落汤鸡一样“抖落”身上的雨水, 走进了他的办公室。shake off“抖掉, 甩掉”, 符合语境。

8.8】选B。习语搭配题。他匆匆地看了一眼, 发觉作者的窘况后, 把作者“领”到壁炉旁。lead sb. to把某人领到……。

9.9】选A。词语辨析题。本段的后半部分提到他为作者购买了一双新鞋, 由此可推知他注意到了作者的鞋上有“洞”。

10.0】选B。词汇复现题。由上文情景和下文的a shoe store可知答案为B。

11.1】选A。词语辨析题。他们将车“停”在一家鞋店前。pull up“停车, 停止”, 符合题意。后三项分别表示“理解, 吸收”、“开走”、“走近”, 都不符合语境。

12.2】选B。词语辨析题。售货员给作者挑选了一双非常合适的鞋, 此处fit用作动词, 意为“使适合”。

13.3】选C。逻辑推理题。这是作者“曾经”见到过的最好的一双牛津鞋。

14.4】选D。词语辨析题。作者穿上这双鞋站起来后, 感觉自己大约有十英尺那么高, in them表示的是in the shoes。

15.5】选C。词汇复现题。文章第一段提到作者看到那张“卡片”后, 思绪回到了从前, 此处与之相呼应。

16.6】选A。词汇复现题。根据本句后半部分中的“do to you”可知此空应用Do。本句的意思是“己所不欲, 勿施于人”。

17.7】选B。词语辨析题。他亲切地说: “吉米, 我想让你知道我爱你。”

18.8】选A。词语辨析题。作者第一次“感觉到”希望的闪现, 不管怎样, 事情总会好起来的。

19.9】选C。逻辑推理题。根据上文叙述的Mr. Rader帮助作者推销杂志以及给作者买鞋等可知他是一个非常善良的人。

20.20】选D。习语搭配题。世界上有了像Mr. Rader这样的人, 就有了希望、善良和关爱, 世界也会因此而不同。make a difference表示“有影响, 起作用”。前三项分别表示“交易”、“财富”、“选择”, 显然有悖文意。
