【解析】

1.1】结合上下文考虑。从I always took Rose some coffee and food.和后面Rose请作者吃饭，而作者知道她没钱。I knew that she had no money。可知Rose很穷。

2.2】语境理解题。结合主句和从句的关系可知应用when “当…….时候”引导时间状语从句。句意：每次我去看Rose的时候，我总是给她带些咖啡和食物。

3.3】从上下文考虑。由第二段和后面可知Rose是请我吃饭。根据句子结构要填的是谓语动词，所以D 错误；且主句时态是一般过去时，则宾语从句的时态也用相应的过去时态，则A,C错误。句意：一天她说她要请我吃午饭。

4.4】介词用法辨析。“在……的路上” 用 on the way ；而 by the way “顺便问一下”常用做插入语；in the way “挡道，妨碍”；out of the way “偏远，异常的”。根据句意可知C正确。

5.5】结合语境和动词短语词意考虑。pay for “付款”；ask for “要求”；look for “寻找”；care for “照顾，喜欢”。根据句意：在路上，我开始担心，我知道Rose没钱，但是如果我主动付钱的话，我怕会伤了她（的感情）。可知 A 正确。

6.6】从上下文考虑。由前面We walked from my work place to a little restaurant on David Street.可知是饭馆。句意：饭馆里有很多人而且他们都很快乐。

7.7】从上下文考虑。由后面…….we had a meal together only once, it was paid by Rose’s work.可知Rose 用她的劳动请我吃了饭。

8.8】语境理解和动词词意辨析。buy “买”；cook “做饭”；enjoy “享受，喜欢”；drink “喝”。由句意：她仅付了一份饭的钱然后我们就开始共同享受（同一份）美食

9.9】语境理解题。从前文可知是Rose和作者一块吃饭，所以Rose 告诉“我”。句意：

她告诉我说，这家餐馆如果人们没钱吃饭的话，允许人们用工作换饭吃；或者如果他们没能力工作的话，可以免费提供饭食。

10.10】考察定语从句。先行词是workers 是人，引导定语从句的关系代词在里面充当主语，所以who 正确。

11.11】从上下文考虑和副词词意辨析。never “从来不”；still “仍然”；hardly “几乎不”；already “已经”。句意：我仍然记得和Rose共同度过的那个明媚的下午。

12.12】考察连词的辨析。so“因此”；but “但是”；though “虽然…….但是”；because “因为”。句意：虽然我们在一起只吃过一次饭，（但是）是Rose用劳动换来的。

13.13】从上下文考虑。从后面的and并列句中的as well “也”，可知前面也是warm，而且符合全文的格调——温暖。句意：天气很温暖明媚而且每个人的微笑也是温暖而明媚。.

14.14】语境理解题。Something “一些事情”；anything “任何事情”；nothing“没有事情”；everything “一切事情”。句意：我一直在想生活对我们每个人都不易，但是我仍然能为我们的朋友和邻居做些事。

15.15】结合全文考虑。句意：如果每个人乐于和别人分享幸福，那么世界会变得更好。
