【解析】1A,句意为:她一直期待着和他开始新的生活。start a new life意为“开始新的生活”。abandon“放弃”,escape“逃避”,dream“梦想”,都不符合句意。
2C,她不得不将她所有的东西从美国带到挪威去。从下文“她不得不交103美元的运suitcase的费用”可知,此处用belongings,意为“财物”。
3B,她把行李放在了行李带上。place是及物动词,表示“放置”,符合语境。其他选项中,fetch“去取来”,carry“随身携带”,都不符合语境。
4D,语境为:但是她得到一个信息,可能会让她的幸福感破灭。message表示“信息”,符合语境。news“消息,新闻”,signal“信号,暗号”,announcement“通告”,都可排除。
5C,根据上下文,前一句是后一句实现的条件,因此选用能引导条件状语从句的连词if。
6D,由文章大意可知,她的丈夫提前走了,因此才有后面的had no one else to call,因此用ahead of。
7B,我完全绝望了。此处描述当时的心情,根据语境可以排除其他选项。
8A,动词manage意为“处理,应付”,manage without意为“没有也行,在没有(某物)的情况下继续”。
9C,他没有表现出一点儿仁慈的迹象。名词mercy的意思是“仁慈,宽恕”,符合语境。
10C,pour down是“流下”之意,语境为:我的眼泪从脸上流下来。come down“倒塌,下来”;fall down“跌倒,失败”;set down“放下,记下”。
11D,句意为:那时,我听到我后面的一个人用温柔的、友好的声音说……形容词gentle意为“温柔的,柔和的”。
12A,根据上下文,此处表示“为她支付费用”,用pay for。
13D,句意为:尽管这件事情已经过去二十年了,但她仍然记得从他身上所散发出来的威严。authority表示“威信,威严”,此处暗示在那时她就感觉到奥巴马有与众不同的地方。
14C,从下文可以看出奥巴马当时穿的衣服是很时尚的。cautiously是“谨慎地,小心地”,ordinarily“普通地”,furiously是“猛烈地”,都不符合语境。
15B,形容词thrilled表示“激动的,兴奋的”。有人给她付钱,她能够把行李带走了,她感到很兴奋。
16C,她向那个陌生人保证还他钱。assure是“保证”之意,符合语境。
17D,由下文出现的Kansas可知,他留下的是姓名和地址。
18D,表示“纸条上写的是什么”之意时,可以用say,read或on which be written。
19B,二十年前帮助她的人现在是美国总统,这是很令人惊讶的。amazing表示“令人惊讶的,令人高兴的”。
20C,她说这话的时候当然非常高兴,因此用delightedly。
