解析:

内容概要：本文讲述了Kate去商店买米时，无意中发现两个穿着长大衣的小孩在商店里偷东西，最后她决定制止他们的行为。

【小题1】空格后的部分是地点状语从句。

【小题2】超市里架子上放的自然是“货物”了。

【小题3】从下文得知，他们准备偷东西，所以穿“长”大衣来做掩护。四个选项中只有long 与后面提到的too big 有点关系。

【小题4】大衣长而大，穿在小孩子身上自然就觉得古怪。young, nervous, excited与strange之间没有逻辑上的因果关系。

【小题5】毕竟是做贼的，所以提醒另一人要“当心”。

【小题6】共两个小孩，故另一个用the other。

【小题7】开头已暗示Kate是来买米的。

【小题8】it指前面听到的声音，这种声音“听起来”像……。

【小题9】货物之间有空隙，Kate正好可以看过去。

【小题10】按理小孩应把选中的东西放进购物篮中，但他们没有，故用instead of。

【小题11】it 指前面已提到过的box。

【小题12】could表示可能性。

【小题13】第9空前的动作再次重复了一遍。

【小题14】这时放入袋中的显然不是前面提到过的box，而是“其他”什么东西。

【小题15】她看着他们，说明他们就在她面前。

【小题16】购物篮中的物品两个小孩是准备付款的。

【小题17】付款的东西自然是放在购物篮中的。

【小题18】大衣的钮子钮得整整齐齐，因为里面藏有东西，此处button是动词。

【小题19】由even所表示的语气可以推知。

【小题20】根据行文逻辑不难选定。
