Fill Her Tank First
The summer of 1975 I’d just graduated from college in Southern California and received a 1968 Ford Capri for a graduation present. I had my first job, in Los Angeles. One Sunday night, __36__ myself a very independent grown-up, I left my uncle’s place in South Laguna after a visit, without __37__ to him that I had less than an __38__ of a tank of gas and no cash to buy __39__ on the way to L.A. I pulled onto the Pacific Coast Highway and watched the needle __40__ as I headed north. When I started running on fumes, I pulled into a __41__. There was no self-service __42__; there were no credit cards, no ATMs.
I begged the guy at the station. I __43__ write him a check for gas, I said, or I could sleep in my car and try to __44__ to a town with a bank the next morning. As he was informing me that I could sleep in my car but he’d have me __45__, a station wagon __46__ to the next pump. The driver--- a thin, plain, middle-aged guy---overheard the tail end of my __47__ request. As the attendant went to serve him, he nodded at me. “__48__ her tank first,” he said.
“Really?” I said. Hope __49__. “Oh, thank you. Thank you. But please. I just need two dollars’ __50__. I just need to go home.”
“Fill it,” he __51__ to the attendant. Then to me, “You will do the same one day, for someone else.”
I keep looking for that unlucky young person, __52__ to save her night on the road. Meanwhile, in case she never __53__ up, I try for other acts of random kindness. That __54__ driver is always at the pump a few feet away, __55__ the attendant to fill mine first.

试题分析:本文主要讲的是1975年夏天我刚毕业，获得了一份汽车大礼，在洛杉矶找到了我的第一份工作，那天去看我叔叔后回家路上由于汽油没有多少了，驶入高速路后去加油站加油的心理和油站工作人员要给我加油过程中发生的是否帮我加油的事情。最后我得到了帮助，并希望把帮助传承下去。
小题1:A 动词辨析。A 思考；B 希望； C 知道；D展示；根据上下文意思，作者已经有工作，应该是成年，而且作者说自己离开叔叔家没有告诉叔叔她的车子的汽油已经快用完了，也没有钱加更多的汽油。由此可知，作者认为自己是非常自立的人，故A正确。
小题2:C 动词辨析；A 证实；B 使信服；C 承认； D 关心；根据上文可知，作者自认为自己是自立的成年人，汽油完了也要自己去解决，所以此空填“admitting”表示：不向他承认汽油不够的事实，其它选项句意不通。故C正确。
小题3:C 数词辨析。这里要表达我汽车油箱里有不到八分之一了，八分之一表达“an eighth”相当于 “one eighth”，故C正确。
小题4:B 上下文串联。根据文章内容，作者的油箱里有一些汽油，此时再买一些汽油就是更多的了，结合50空后面一句“I just need to go home.”说明再买就更多了；故B正确。
小题5:A 动词辨析。A 下降； B 增加； C 减少； D 减少；根据本句意思：作者说她把车开上太平洋海岸线高速，在向北开的路上她看着仪表上的指针慢慢下降。指针不能减少，油量可以减少，故A正确。
小题6:D 名词辨析。A 火车站； B 汽车站； C 地铁站； D 加油站；作者说她的车开始冒烟了，应该是汽油快用完了，所以她把车开进了一个加油站。下文作者说她“write him a check for gas”；故D正确。
小题7:D 介词短语辨析。A 曾经； B 一次，每次；C 有时，间或；D在那时；上句提到：她把车开进了一个加油站。就在那时，她发现加油站里没有自动服务，没有信用卡也没有ATM取款机。故D 正确。
小题8:A 情态动词辨析。A 可以； B 或许； C 应该； D 必需；根据文章内容：作者因为没有钱，只能去求站里的那家伙，请求别人会说：could语气比较委婉，下文作者说到她可以睡在车里，第二天就、、、；可知A正确。
小题9:D 上下文串联。A 爬行，攀登；B 开车； C 爬； D 走；作者说到她可以睡在车里，第二天就经尽力走到一个有银行的镇里去取钱还加油站工作人员；故D正确。
小题10:D 动词辨析。 A 命令； B 帮助； C 警告； D 拘留；根据内容：这个服务员似乎太没人情味了，作者已承诺开支票或睡在车里第二天取钱来偿还，可是他仍然不动摇，服务员说可以让我睡在车里，但他要扣留我，以防我不给钱.故D正确。
小题11:C 动词短语辨析。A 上升，提高； B 开车上 C 停车；D 进入；货车开到加油的管那里就停下来，故C正确。
小题12:D 动词辨析。A 尝试；B 成功； C 原因； D失败；那个司机偶然听到我的请求加油意思，结合上文意思：服务员没有答应作者的请求，作者没能成功加到油。故D正确。
小题13:A 根据上文：由于服务员过去给别人加油，别人又听到我说的乞求的话，故别人就想先让加油。本句是祈使句，故填动词原形；选A正确。
小题14:A 动词辨析。A 增加； B 提高； C 积累； D 点燃；根据上文作者听到那人说先给我加油，作者应该是感到能加油的希望越来越大；故A正确。
小题15:C 形容词辨析。下文提到作者只是想回到家就可以了，所以作者加值两美元的汽油就可以了；故C 正确。
小题16:B 动词辨析。 A 再说一遍； B 重复一次；C 说； D 讲；上文已经说了：“fill her tank first”，这时又说：“Fill it”,且pardon一般是由于问者对他人的言语听不清楚而发；repeat强调与前文内容重复就可以用，故B 正确。
小题17:C 动词辨析。A 确保； B 假设； C 希望；D 考虑；上文那位先生说作者会在将来某一天为另外的某些人做同样的事，也就是帮助他人，于是作者盼望着那么一个不幸的年轻人（遇到困难）让她有机会去帮助。故C正确。
小题18:A 动词辨析。 A 出现； B 去； C 成长； D 来；作者说：“同时，如果那个需要帮助的人不出现，我就尝试做其它善事”；故A正确。
小题19:D 形容词辨析。 A 容易相处的； B 有礼貌的； C 有力量的； D 安静的；文中男士给人的感觉就是不说很多话的。故D正确。
小题20:B 动词辨析。A 介绍； B 命令； C 有趣的； D 相互；当时服务员不想给我加油是怕我不能给钱给他，所以作者得到别人的帮忙，别人一直很想帮助我，所以是命令服务员给作者加油。故B正确。
