【解析】

试题分析：本文为一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己在2012年到佛罗里达州的奥兰多参加作家研讨会期间受到一位热心老太太帮助的故事。

【1】选A 结合句中的“I had just recovered from a serious illness”以及空后的“might be just what the doctor ordered”可知，医生指示刚刚康复的病人的应该是“度假期”。

【2】选B so后为部分倒装，将作状语的off前置了。正常的结构为：so I went off。go off“离开(尤指去做某事)”；keep off“远离，(使)不接近”；drop off“减少，下降”；knock off“停止某事”。B项符合语境。

【3】选C 到达阳光州(指佛罗里达州)相当疲劳，但作者还是设法搭乘出租车到达住处并安顿下来。manage to do sth.意为“设法做成某事”，符合语境。

【4】选D 根据第三段中的“At the end of the day, she ________ to take me back to my accommodation”可知选D。

【5】选D 外出搭乘的应是“出租车”，空前的“another”承接上句的“a taxi”，故选D。第二天上午，作者坐另一辆出租车到购物中心买了一些纪念品。

【6】选C 根据语境可知，作者是在购物中心买了几件纪念品之后去一家咖啡屋吃午饭。故选C。

【7】选B 根据空前的“but”可推知，小餐馆的桌子都坐满了，故选B。 occupied“使用中，有人使用”。随后作者来到一家咖啡屋吃午饭，但桌子都坐满了。

【8】选A 根据第三段首句中的“sat down with the ________ lady and we had a happy lunch together”可知，作者是和对方共用一张桌子。

【9】选A 根据下文的“I’m retired”可知，作者和一位老太太坐一桌。

【10】选B 根据上文两次出现的lunch可知，此处是用meal指代lunch。故选B。

【11】选C 作者已经告诉她自己没有租用小汽车，也没有意识到搭出租车会是多么昂贵。

【12】选D 根据下文这位退休的老太太主动提出自己开车送作者，可见作者是在抱怨搭乘出租车太昂贵。故选D。

【13】选D 根据上文中的“My dear, don’t use any more taxis”可知，这位退休的老太太提出自己开车送作者。故选D。

【14】选C 作者告诉她，作者不能给她添这样的麻烦。此处that trouble指上句提到的“drive you wherever you wish”。故选C。

【15】选B 根据下文中的“next morning she was waiting at my apartment”可知，她问了作者的住处。故选B。

【16】选A at the appointed time表示“在约定的时间”。第二天早上，老太太在约定的时间来到作者的住处，要带作者去迪斯尼世界。

【17】选B 根据语境，老太太把作者送到迪斯尼世界后，先陪游了一会儿，然后离去了。旅游属于“探索”，即在旅游过程中去发现迪斯的一些奥秘。故选B，表示“探索，考察”。

【18】选C 根据上句中的“She spent some time with me before leaving me to ________ alone”可知，老太太中途离去了。所以在一天结束的时候她又返回来接作者回住处。故选C。

【19】选C 根据空后的“but she refused to take any”可知，作者主动提出给老太太钱。故选C。

【20】选D 老太太帮助作者，这是善举(kindness)。作者永远不会忘记这位好心的女士，她通过自己的善举，让作者在佛罗里达的短暂假期充满了美好的回忆。
