【解析】这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。作者通过自己晚上在黑暗中找灯这件小事,想到世上人人都可能处于“黑暗”之中,如果人们都能用自己的“爱心”之灯去温暖他人，世界将变得更加美好。

【1】D 根据上文晚上头顶的灯坏了，可知作者找寻钥匙孔有困难，故选D项。

【2】A 根据下文可知，作者已经把门打开。manage to do sth.设法做成某事。

【3】B 根据文意可知，由于晚上没有灯，作者只好摸索前进，只有felt表此意。

【4】D 根据“but no switch”可以推知，作者认为那里曾经安装了开关，因此在那里摸索，结果并没有，只有once能表示此意。

【5】C 上文提到这是一个旅馆，自己是暂时住在这里，排除了A项。从下文一句when I deposited my luggage可推知，C项正确，spot此处意为“注意到，看到，发现”。

【6】B 从上文remembered可知，作者在那天早些时候发现有开关，现在仍然记得，故选B项。

【7】B 因为是晚上，而且没有灯，故是在黑暗中，选dark（黑暗的）。

【8】A 根据文意排除了C、D。句子的主语是nothing而非lamp，故动词operated不正确。因此，只有A项正确。

【9】B 根据文意和下文curtains可推知，作者现在处在黑暗中，只能拉开窗帘，靠外部街道上的光来找到另一盏灯，故选B项。

【10】C 根据文意和下文slowly across the room可知，作者现在摸索着去拉窗帘。make one’s way意为“前往，到……去”，符合文意。

【11】B 根据文意和下文actually可知，作者最终找到了灯，故选until。

【12】C 根据a desk lamp和副词actually可知，这盏灯亮了。此意只有work可以表达。

【13】A 根据文意，作者此时心有所感，世界有时是多么黑暗，而且灯是如此必要！and连接两个并列的成分，故选A项。

【14】D 根据文意和下句the light that shines from people可知，人们“内心的灯光”比实际的灯光更有必要。physical在此意为“物质的，有形的”。

【15】B 由文意可知，作者们心中应该有“爱和信任”之灯，才能战胜discouragement或者sadness或者fear，故选love。

【16】A 由文意和dark可知，有时人们中许多人会处在黑暗和孤独的世界，故选lonely。

【17】D 由文意可知，当人们失望、难过和害怕时会需要帮助，因此选D项need。

【18】B 由上文So let your light shine.可知，作者在鼓励人们要主动去帮助别人，故选B项。

【19】C 细心揣摩文意可知，人们的爱心之灯在茫茫的黑暗中是如此渺小，好像是森林中的一只蜡烛，故选项no more than（只是，仅仅）正确。

【20】A 由文意可知，黑暗再强大，也没有足够的力量扑灭小如蜡烛般的“爱心之灯”，故选A项。
