题目内容
Like most July days, it was hot. I 1 into a coffee shop to drink a cup of black coffee. It was a tiny store with little round tables and chairs.
As I entered, I found a very old woman bend 2 a table near the door. Her back was so badly twisted (扭弯) by some sadness that her face nearly 3 the table-top. I sat down facing her two 4 away.
“Poor woman.” I thought, “What does she get out of life? Why does God let people live so 5 past their prime (鼎盛时期)?”
As I thought, 6 aged lady entered the shop and sat down with her. Soon the two of them were talking about 7 . They talked of how little the shop had changed in 70 years… In minutes the two of them were 8 with laughter.
I looked again at the 9 woman, then in the mirror on a nearbly wall, 10 a picture of myself.
I was wearing a dirty shirt.
She was 11 dressed in white, gold rings on her fingers.
I was in 12 spirits. She was laughing, smiling.
I was putting the 13 of my life together. She had millions of wonderful 14 to recall (回忆).
She was 15 the day with a good friend. I was 16 worried about getting old. She was old but it wasn't hurting her.
As I left the shop, I 17 my foolish questions about God letting people live past their prime. Why, that woman was more 18 , more sensitive(敏感的). 19 has not bent her spirit. But I am always filling my mind with something 20 .

解析：

1．slip into意思是“（偷偷）溜进”;break into意思是“破门而入”，结合下文．“我”只是到咖啡店喝杯咖啡，enter不与into搭配． 2．因为老人驼背得很厉害，因此站在桌子旁时bend over the table． 3．struck有“撞到……上”的意思，而reach表示“到达”，在这里是老人腰弯得厉害，脸几乎快碰着（touch）桌子了． 4．two tables away意思是“隔着两桌子的距离”． 5．因为老人年纪大了，又加上驼背，由此“我”认为老人活着是受罪． 6．从空后的sat down with her我们得知是另一个老人走进来了．在此作者讲了一个驼背的old woman，接下来又讲了另一个old woman，因此c为最佳答案． 7．从下一句They talked of how little the shop had changed in 70 years得知，开始时她们讲的是70年前，即她们童年的往事． 8．她们两个笑得浑身抖动． 9．the first woman指“我”在文章开头讲的那个驼背老人．接下来作者以驼背老人和“我”作对比． 10．catch在这里指“（无意间）看到”． 11．由老人戴着gold rings，可见老人是well dressed． 12．在此作者把“我”与老人相对比，以此说明“我”的生活质量不如老人． 13．在此作者将老人对待生活的态度与自己相比较：老人有无数美好的回忆，而“我”只能凑一些细碎的生活片断． 14．从空后的to recall得此答案． 15．“她与好朋友共享一天．”share在此意为“共享”． 16．“而我独自一个人在担心变老．” secretly在此相当于alone． 17．“离开咖啡店的时候，我想起了我那个关于上帝让人在青春过后仍活着的问题．”think of在此意为“记起、想起”．C有较大干扰性，在此作者是说，经过“我”把老人与自己作了对比之后，我才感到自己的想法的愚蠢（foolish）． 18．alive在此意为“有活力”．alive在此不仅包含快乐，同样也表示享受生活． 19．“岁月并没有弯曲她的精神．”在此作者是说，岁月弯曲了老人的脊背，但年龄并没有挫败老人的精神． 20．老人的生活充满了快乐，而“我”的生活中总是充满了不偷快的事情． |
