【解析】

本文叙述了作者一次带着学生去一家关爱老年人中心，在学生给老人们唱歌的时候，作者的一位学生贾斯汀主动跑过去关爱一位老人。作者感到那天他是学生，而Justin是老师。

【1】C 根据3空后的on the third floor可知，此处应该选floor。

【2】B 根据语境和常识，那些老年人在照顾自己方面需要的是“帮助”，故B正确。

【3】A 上文提到，作者和学生们到关爱老年人中心后给老年人唱歌，因此可以推断在三楼他们也是给老年人“唱歌”。故A正确。

【4】D 根据后文的提示，作者和学生们在三楼在给老年人唱歌时，只有一位女士跟着他们手舞足蹈地在唱歌，其他老人都盯着天花板或地板看。stare off at sth.把目光移开盯着……看。glare at怒目而视；shut off关闭；pay off偿清债务。故选D。

【5】B 短语catch one’s eye相当于catch one’s attention，意为“吸引了……的目光”。其他老年人都在听我们唱歌，但有一个老太太吸引了作者的目光，她靠门坐在轮椅上自己唱歌。

【6】C 句意：老太太所唱的歌不是我们唱的歌，至少听起来不像。sound“听起来”，故C正确。不能选hear，因hear表示“听见”，与语境不符。

【7】D 根据后面一句The louder we got, the louder she got.可知，我们唱歌声音变高时，老太太也跟着提高唱歌的声音，故D正确。

【8】A 根据上下文语境，当老太太唱歌时，她的手和身体靠近我们。故A正确。

【9】B 短语reach out to本意是“伸手去取”，在这儿是指“探出身子（靠近……）”。故B正确。

【10】D 作者本应该走近老太太去关爱她的，但当时他认为自己的职责是管理学生，也就没那样做。responsibility“责任，职责”，符合语境；interest兴趣；ability能力；feeling情感。

【11】B 作者认为他的职责是管理学生，而照料关爱老年人是中心的职责。attend to意为“照料，照顾”，符合语境。故B正确。

【12】A 作者没有给予老人所需要的关爱，当然感到内疚（guilty），故A正确。

【13】D 句子表示Justin也注意到了那位老太太。fear害怕；avoid避免；help帮助；notice注意到。

【14】B 作者和Justin虽然都注意到了这个老人，所不同的是，Justin在行为上，有所“行动（act）”，而我却没做到（去关爱一老人）。故B正确。

【15】C look at one in one’s eye意为“用眼睛看着……”。Justin走过去，看着老太太，并说……故C正确。

【16】C 句意：Justin对老太太说，你很重要，我会花时间让你知道。take one’s time to do sth.花时间去做某事。

【17】A 当时那动人的一幕，言语（words）无法表达。

【18】D 是一个小男孩教会了我，什么是善良和爱。teach“教育”，符合语境。

【19】B Justin用完全无私的态度去对待另外一个人，这个例子是他给作者上的一课（lesson）。

【20】C 那一天Justin是老师，能够亲眼目睹他教的一课，作者很幸运（lucky）。
