【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了伊芙的爸爸是一个有耐心，有爱心，乐于奉献的人，有一次爸爸帮助一位迷路的女士找到了需要去的地方，后来这位女士也再次给爸爸致电表示感谢。通过这件事情，伊芙深深地被父亲所打动，并且感到自豪。

【1】句意：我们在一个小十字路口停车，看见一辆汽车停在路中间。

考查名词。此处有定冠词the，故可知此处填写名词。根据前半句“Pulling up at a small crossing,” 在一个小十字路口停下，表示伊芙他们所在的位置是在马路的中间，可以推断，那位女士的汽车也是停在马路的中间。middle名词，中间，中部，in the middle of 表示“在……中间”。故填middle。

【2】句意：她回到车里，看起来更沮丧了。

考察形容词。此处有现在分词looking，表示“看上去”，后接形容词。根据“she broke down in tears, explaining she had lost her way.”她哭了起来，解释说她迷了路。可知老妇人应该是因为迷路而感到很难过。upset形容词，难过的，心烦的，前有more表示比较级，此处填upset原形。故填upset。

【3】句意：事实证明她是一个照料者，并且在那天晚上正在试图找到她要帮助的客户的房子。

考查现在分词或者过去分词。此处有并列连词and，可知此处填写与前半句谓语动词turned并列的谓语动词。此处有be动词was，后接现在分词，表示过去进行时；也可以接过去分词，表示一般过去时的被动语态。根据“When she showed Dad the address she was meant to be at.”当她给爸爸看她应该在的地址时……，可知老妇人正在试图寻找她要去的房子；或者老妇人被告知要去指定的房子。try动词，试图，尝试，现在分词形式为trying；tell动词，告诉，过去分词为told。故填trying/told。

【4】句意：爸爸递给她他的名片，告诉她跟他走，如果她在路上迷了路，就按名片上的号码给他打电话。

考查名词。此处有形容词性物主代词his，空格后有card，可知此处可以填写形容词或者名词，作定语修饰card；“…and to call him on the number on the card…”并按卡片上的号码给他打电话。可知爸爸交给老妇人的卡片上有电话号码，推测此处应该指名片。business名词，商业，business card名片。故填business。

【5】句意：……如果她在路上迷了路，就按名片上的号码给他打电话。

考查名词或者动名词。根据空格前介词in，可知此处填写名词或者动名词。由句意可知，父亲让老妇人跟着车走，如果跟丢了，就打电话。故此处表示“在路上”。traffic名词，交通；travel名词，旅行；traveling现在分词，旅行。以上这些词，前加介词in，都可以表示“在路上，在路途中”。故填traffic/travel/traveling。

【6】句意：是他前一天晚上帮助过的那位女士打来的电话，再次感谢他的善举。

考查副词。根据“It was the lady he'd helped the night…”是他那晚帮助过的那位女士……，可知本句中主要成分都齐全，故可以填写副词。根据文意，老妇人打电话是在第二天，故此处可以填写表示“过去”的含义。before副词，过去，以前。故填before。

【7】句意：我想伊芙从来没有像现在这样以作为他的女儿为荣。

考查形容词。根据此处be动词been以及副词so可知此处填写形容词。根据前文文意，父亲帮助老妇人找到了地方，后来老妇人专门打电话对父亲表示感谢，因此伊芙为父亲感到自豪。proud形容词，自豪的，be proud to do sth做某事很自豪。故填proud。
