But in real life there is a Santa that shines at some time, ________ which month it is. Maybe when you offered a trolley to me, there was a ________Santa in you.

【解析】
作者在一次购物的时候,发现一个男人买了很多的牛奶、面包和蛋糕。男人说他是个圣诞老人,为街上的流浪狗准备食物。但是作者很好奇,圣诞老人为什么在六月出现。男人解释到,现实中有这样不分月份的圣诞老人,就在我们身边传播幸福和爱。
【1】句意:你能告诉我牛奶柜台在哪里吗?
vegetable蔬菜;milk牛奶;bread面包;fish鱼。根据“…I met the same man ____2____ almost 10 bottles of milk.”可知我再看到老人的时候,他拿着10瓶牛奶,因此可推测,他之前询问的是牛奶柜台。故选B。
【2】句意:几分钟过后,我遇到同一个人,他手里拿着几乎10瓶牛奶。
putting放置;choosing选择;holding拿着;bringing拿来;带来。根据下文“Do you need a trolley (手推车)?”作者对男人的询问可知,男人应该是手里拿着10瓶牛奶,作者问他是否需要手推车。故选C。
【3】句意:然后我惊讶于他的手推车里有24瓶牛奶,他仍在拿更多的牛奶。
scared害怕的;excited兴奋的;angry生气的;surprised惊讶的。根据“…that his trolley had 24 bottles of milk…”可推测,当作者看到男人手推车里面有24瓶牛奶的时候,应该是惊讶于它的数量之多。故选D。
【4】句意:然后我惊讶于他的手推车里有24瓶牛奶,他仍在拿更多的牛奶。
picking up拿起;taking up拿起;从事;getting up起床;coming up开始;发生。结合句意和宾语more ones可知,此处表示“拿起更多的牛奶”,pick up和take up虽都有“拿起”的意思,但是take up通常指某事业,某事,而pick up有挑选之意。故选A。
【5】句意:这些是给流浪狗的。
boys男孩;dogs狗狗;toys玩具;plants植物。根据“So these bread and cakes are also for the street dogs, Mr. Santa?”可知男人买的面包和蛋糕给流浪狗的,因此可推测牛奶也是给流浪狗的。故选B。
【6】句意:我想成为它们的圣诞老人。
for为了;对……而言;on在……上;关于;of……的;by通过;被。结合句意可知,此处表示“对某人而言”,用介词for。故选A。
【7】句意:现在当圣诞老人太早了。
late晚的;early早的;lucky幸运的;easy简单的。根据常识和“It is still June.”可知圣诞节是在12月份,而现在是6月份,因此是太早了。故选B。
【8】句意:他转向我,但是什么也没说。
something某事;anything任何事;nothing没有事;everything每件事。此句后并没有解释的内容,而且倒数第二段是作者在面包柜台看到男人之后,男人解释了原因,因此此处男人并没有说什么,nothing符合句意。故选C。
【9】句意:幸运地是,我在面包柜台再次遇到他。
Luckily幸运地;Suddenly突然;Hopefully有希望地;Naturally自然地。根据上文“It’s too ___7___ to be a Santa. It is still June.”作者对于六月份做圣诞老人的疑问可知,之前男人没有消除他的疑问,这次幸运地碰上他,希望能得到答案。同时,根据男人买东西给流浪狗这件事也可以推断出,作者认为见到男人是幸运的。故选A。
【10】句意:圣诞老人是惊喜和爱的象征。
bridge桥梁;style风格;brand品牌;商标;symbol象征。此空为名词of格,表示“惊喜和爱的……”,结合语境可知,此处应该是表示“象征”。故选D。
【11】句意:他在十二月份到来,我们在圣诞节的时候期盼他。
ask问;show展示;expect期盼;invite邀请。空前we指“我们”,空后him指“圣诞老人”,我们应该是期盼圣诞老人的到来。故选C。
【12】句意:但是现实生活中,有一个圣诞老人在某些时候出现,不管是哪个月。
no matter不管;even if即使;as well也;not only不仅。结合“I love to be Mr. Santa in the month of June.”可知,此处用no matter which表示“不管哪个”,等同于whichever,用来解释男人为什么在六月做圣诞老人。故选A。
【13】句意:也许当你提供给我一个手推车的时候,在你身体有一个隐藏的圣诞老人。
lost丢失的;frozen冷冻的;missed消失的;hidden隐藏的。根据之前作者为男人提供手推车的事可知,男人认为作者也是一个圣诞老人,只是作者不自知,因此是隐藏起来的圣诞老人。故选D。
【14】句意:当我们提供给食物给穷人或者给淋雨的人雨伞的时候,我们在那就是圣诞老人。
camera相机;umbrella雨伞;apple苹果;box盒子。根据“…to someone who is caught in the rain…”可知给淋雨的人应该提供雨伞。故选B。
【15】句意:我们仅仅需要意识到圣诞老人在我们周围传播幸福和无条件的爱。
storing储存;facing面对;spreading传播;increasing增加。结合上文可知,圣诞老人是给人提供帮助,给予和传播爱的,因此用spreading表示。故选C。
