题目内容

I'd been travelling for long hours on a lonely country road when I had a flat tire. So I had to stop and get the tools to 36 the problem. It certainly wasn’t 37 doing this with a white shirt and suit on.

Nightfall was approaching. Suddenly a car pulled 38 from behind me. A man got out and offered to 39 me. Seeing his unpleasant appearance and tattoos（纹身）on his arm, I became 40 as thoughts of robberies flashed through my mind. But 41 I could say anything he had already begun to take the tools to change the 42 . While watching him I happened to look back at his car and noticed someone sitting in the passenger seat. This had 43 me.

Then, without 44 , it began to rain. He suggested that I wait in his car because my car was unsafe. As the rain increased, getting us wet within seconds, I 45 agreed. When I settle into the back seat, a woman’s voice came from the front seat. “Are you all right?” She turned around to me. “Yes, I am.’’ I replied with much 46 when seeing an old woman there. It must be his Mom, I thought. To my 47 , the old woman was a neighbor of the man who was helping me. “Jeff insisted on stopping when he saw you 48 with the tire. ”“I am grateful for his help, ” I said. “Me, too!” she said with a smile. He helped drive her to see her husband twice a week in a nursing home. She also said that he 49 at the church and tutored disadvantaged students.

The rain stopped and Jeff and I changed me tire. I tried to offer him money and of course he 50 it. It was shameful that I judged people by the way they 51 . As we shook hands I began to apologize for my 52 . He said, ‘‘I experience that same 53 often. People who look like me don’t do nice things. I 54 thought about changing the way. But then I saw this as a chance to make a 55 . So I’ll leave you with the same question I ask everyone who takes time to know me. If Jesus returned tomorrow and walked among us again, would you recognize Him by what He wore or by what He did?’’

试题分析：作者的车在途中瘪胎，一名陌生的男子主动提供帮助。他的外貌让作者提心吊胆，后来作者才发觉对方并无恶意，而且他还帮作者换好了轮胎，作者深深为自己以貌取人的做法感到羞愧。

1.C上句提到车胎瘪了，所以作者不得不停下来用工具解决这个问题。此处fix表示“修理”。

2.B作者穿着白色的衬衣和套装，处理这样的问题当然不“容易”。

3.A突然一辆车在作者身后停了下来。此处pull up表示“(使车)停下”。

4.D一名男子从车里走出来，主动“帮助”作者。7空后面的内容是线索提示。

5.B作者看到他那令人讨厌的外貌和胳膊上的文身后，脑海中闪现出打劫的场景，开始“害怕”起来。A项表示“气馁的”，C项表示“失望的”，D项表示“吃惊的”，均不符合语境。

6.D作者还“没有来得及”说任何话，他已经开始接过工具忙碌起来。before表示“在……之前”。

7.A文章开头部分提到作者的车胎瘪了，所以那位男子是在更换“车胎”。

8.B作者看到男子的第一反应是抢劫，此时又注意到车中还坐着另外一个人，自然感到非常“担心”。此处concern 表示“让(某人)担忧”。

9.A随后，没有任何“先兆”，天开始下雨。warning“先兆”。

10.D根据作者见到这名男子后的反应可推测作者“不情愿地”同意了对方的建议。

11.C作者原以为会遭遇抢劫，想不到车中坐的是一位老太太，因此感到非常“宽慰”。

12.C上一句提到作者猜想这位老太太一定是男子的妈妈，此处指出她是男子的邻居，由此可知作者感到非常“惊讶”。

13.D老太太告诉作者当Jeff看到作者“吃力地”修理车胎时，就坚持要停下来。struggle“吃力地进行”。

14.D根据上一句中的内容可推测男子是“自愿”在教堂从事义务劳动。另外，本句后半部分提到的他对贫困学生的帮助也是线索提示。

15.A上一段的后半部分提到他免费帮助老太太，还经常做义务服务，由此可知他理所当然地“拒绝”了作者给他的酬劳。

16.C第二段的前半部分提到作者是在看到他的外貌和胳膊上的文身后才联想到了抢劫，所以此处是为自己以“貌”取人感到羞愧。

17.B作者根据Jeff的外貌判断他是想抢劫，想不到对方是在真心帮助自己，所以作者为自己的“愚蠢”道歉。

18.C作者见到男子的第一想法是抢劫，由此可知男子经常经历同样的“反应”。

19.B男子说外貌看起来像他那样的人不做好事，他“实际上”考虑过改变这种形象。

20.A由下文男子留给人们的问题可知男子把这看做是一次证明一种看法的机会，此处point表示“看法，观点”。

I start to wonder what else had changed since I’d been gone. My parents are in an awkward puzzle, wondering how to treat me now----whether to treat me—still their daughter—as one of them, an adult, or as the child they feel they sent away months earlier.
I run into two of my best friends from high school; we stare at each other, expressionless. We ask the simple questions and give simple answers. It’s as if we have nothing to say to each other. I wonder how things have changed so much in such a small amount of time. We used to laugh and promise that no matter how far away we were, our love for each other would never change. Their interests don’t interest me anymore, and I find myself unable to relate my life to theirs.
I had been so excited to come home, but now I just look at it all and wonder: Is it me? Why hadn’t the world stood still here while I was gone? My room isn’t the same, my friends and I don’t share the same promise, and my parents don’t know how to treat me—or who I am, for that matter.
I get back to school feeling half-satisfied, but not disappointed. I sit up in my bed in my dorm room, surrounded by my pictures, dolls. As I wonder what has happened, I realize that I can’t expect the world to stand still and move forward at the same time. I can change and expect that things at home will stay the same. I have to find comfort in what has changed and what is new; keep the memories, but live in the present.
A few weeks later, I’m packing again, this time for winter break. My mom meets me at the door. I have come home accepting the changes, not only in my surroundings, but most of all in me.

Blogs allow readers to post comments. There were millions of blogs out there, so I   36  expected anyone to read mine,   37  respond. But almost immediately they did. Twelve messages were   38  after my first entry. I went to the library five times that day—each time there were more.
The next morning I couldn’t wait to get up and hurry to the library.   39  I told my story. It gave structure and a purpose to my day.
For so long I’d been unable to   40  in the real world, afraid of rejection or pity or scorn(轻蔑).   41  here it was safe. This   42  with people on the other side of the screen, many on the other side of the world, was   43  me back to life again.
One particularly cold Tuesday I opened my   44  to see, among emails from bloggers   45  how I was surviving the snow, one saying: “New York Times Journalist Trying to Contact You.” Ian Urbina had discovered my blog   46  when researching an article on people living in their   47  in the U.S. exchanged emails and later he called me up. I hadn’t spoken to   48  for months but, as rain streamed down the glass   49 , the words came. I had been living in the car for almost nine months.
The article   50  on the front page. I didn’t know until I opened my computer. There were emails from people around the world. For almost a year on one had known I   51  existed but now here were hundreds wishing me well. They said they were   52  for me.
Now every time I pressed “Check Mail”, there were more messages. I watched the numbers of the visitors counter on my blog   53  by the hundreds. These were people at their computers all over the world. I felt as of I was viewing a miracle unfold(展开).
Over the next week, in libraries and in the car   54  under lamp posts at night, I wrote my papers. I had notepaper spread   55  the dashboard(仪表盘). And every morning in the quiet of the lane, I wrote for my life.

I have only once been in trouble with the law．The whole process of being arrested and taken to court was a rather unpleasant experience at the time, but it makes a good story now． What makes it rather disturbing was the arbitrary（随意的）circumstances both of my arrest and my subsequent （随后的） fate in court．

It happened in February about twelve years ago．I had left school a couple of months before that and was not due to go to university until the following October．I was still living at home at the time．

One morning I was in Richmond, a suburb of London near where I lived．I was looking for a temporary job so that I could save up some money to go traveling．As it was a fine day and I was in no hurry, I was taking my time, looking in shop windows, strolling in the park, and sometimes just stopping and looking around me．It must have been this obvious aimlessness that led to my downfall．

It was about half past eleven when it happened．I was just walking out of the local library, having unsuccessfully sought employment there, when I saw a man walking across the road with the obvious intention of talking to me．I thought he was going to ask me the time．Instead, he said he was a police officer and he was arresting me．At first I thought it was some kind of joke

But then another policeman appeared, this time in uniform, and I was left in no doubt．

'But what for?" I asked

‘Wandering with intent to commit an arrestable offence,' he said．

‘What offence?' I asked

'Theft,' he said

'Theft of what?'I asked

'Milk bottles,' he said, and with a perfectly straight face too!

'Oh,' I said．

It turned out there had been a lot of petty thefts in the area, particularly that of stealing milk bottles from doorsteps．

Then I made my big mistake．At the time I was nineteen, had long untidy hair, and regarded myself as pan of the sixties' 'youth counterculture'．As a result, I wanted to appear cool and unconcerned with the incident, so I said, 'How long have you been following me? in the most casual and conversational tone I could manage．I thus appeared to them to be quite familiar with this sort of situation, and it confirmed them in their belief that I was a thoroughly disreputable （品行不端的） character．

A few minutes later a police car arrived．

'Get in the back,' they said．'Put your hands on the back of the front seat and don't move them．'

They got in on either side of me．It wasn't funny any more．

At the police station they questioned me for several hours．I continued to try to look worldly and familiar with the situation．When they asked me what I had been doing, I told them I'd been looking for a job．'Aha,' I could see them thinking, 'unemployed'．

Eventually, I was officially charged and told to report to Richmond Magistrates' Court the following Monday．Then they let me go．

I wanted to conduct my own defense in court, but as soon as my father found out what had happened, he hired a very good solicitor （律师）．We went along that Monday armed with all kinds of witnesses, including my English teacher from school as a character witness．But he was never called on to give evidence．My 'trial' didn't get that far．The magistrate （法官） dismissed the case after fifteen minutes．1 was free．The poor police had never stood a chance．The solicitor even succeeded in getting costs awarded against the police．

And so I do not have a criminal record．But what was most shocking at the time was the things my release from the charge so clearly depended on．I had the 'right' accent, respectable middle-class parents in court, reliable witnesses, and I could obviously afford a very good solicitor．Given the obscure nature of the charge．I feel sure that if I had come from a different background, and had really been unemployed, there is every chance that I would have been found guilty．While asking for costs to be awarded, my solicitor's case quite obviously revolved （回转） around the fact that I had a 'brilliant academic record'．

Meanwhile, just outside the courtroom, one of the policemen who had arrested me was gloomily complaining to my mother that another youngster had been turned against the police． 'You could have been a bit more helpful when we arrested you,' he said to me reproachfully （责备地）．

What did he mean? Probably that I should have looked outraged （暴怒）and said something like, 'Look here, do you know who you're talking to? I am a highly successful student with a brilliant academic record．How dare you arrest me!' Then they, probably, would have apologized perhaps even taken off their caps, and let me on my way．
