【解析】

試題分析：本文講述了作者在面包店工作時(shí)看到的感人的一幕：一位老人想要一個(gè)果餡餅，卻無(wú)力購(gòu)買(mǎi)，后面的一位女士買(mǎi)了這種餡餅送給他，而作為回報(bào)，老人將他身上僅有的一塊糖果送給了這位女士。

1.考查名詞：作者在面包店工作，故應(yīng)為“顧客”流。D。

2.考查搭配：either...or...“或者……或者……”。本句意為：顧客們匆忙地結(jié)束周末購(gòu)物以便回家準(zhǔn)備晚餐或看足球賽。選B。

3.考查詞組：focus on sth.“聚精會(huì)神地做某事”。下文倒數(shù)第二段的concentrate也有暗示。選C。

4.結(jié)合語(yǔ)境及所提供的選項(xiàng)，when“這時(shí)”，可選D。

5.考查動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)：look up“向上看”。選C。

6.根據(jù)常識(shí)及句中的“asked if he could have a tart”可以判定，客人是很客氣的。選A。

7.考查形容詞：disappointed“失望的”。通過(guò)后面的“began shaking his head”可知，他覺(jué)得太貴，有些失望，又搖頭表示不要了。選B。

8.考查名詞：moment“時(shí)刻”。此處表示“這是最令人尷尬的時(shí)刻之一”。選A。

9.考查動(dòng)詞：spend“花費(fèi)(金錢(qián)、時(shí)間等)”。選C。

10.考查連詞：although在此處引導(dǎo)讓步狀語(yǔ)從句。選D。

11.考查介詞：breads and desserts for a dinner party“為晚宴準(zhǔn)備的面包和甜點(diǎn)”。選A。

12.order“訂購(gòu)”，shopping則指“購(gòu)物”。從后面這位女顧客又要了一個(gè)果餡餅可知，她并沒(méi)有結(jié)束購(gòu)物。選B。

13.考查詞組：mind doing sth.“介意做某事”。選A。

14.考查形容詞：A．similar相似的，B．usual通常的C．divided分離的，separate“分開(kāi)的，單獨(dú)的”。選D。

15.考查動(dòng)詞：此處paid, thanked and walked away為三個(gè)連續(xù)的動(dòng)作。選C。

16.考查動(dòng)詞：return to(doing) sth.“恢復(fù)原先的活動(dòng)或情況”。作者一開(kāi)始就在stamp bags，中間打斷了一會(huì)兒，現(xiàn)在又重新開(kāi)始，所以用return to。選C。

17.考查情態(tài)動(dòng)詞：would在此處表示意愿，would not do sth.即“不愿做某事”。選B。

18.考查上下文串聯(lián)：根據(jù)上文可知，那位男顧客很想要這種果餡餅，但是因?yàn)橘F沒(méi)舍得買(mǎi)。選B。

19.考查詞組：light up“(臉上)流露出喜悅”。選C。

20.考查詞組：in return for“作為對(duì)……的回報(bào)”；in honor of“出于對(duì)……的敬意”；in addition to“在……的基礎(chǔ)上，除……之外”；in place of“代替(某人或某物)” 選D。

考點(diǎn)：考查故事類(lèi)短文

點(diǎn)評(píng)：整個(gè)完形填空內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)單，考生不難從中領(lǐng)會(huì)大意，從選項(xiàng)中可以看出，本大題主要還是考查了詞匯的辨析與運(yùn)用，但更加注重綜合語(yǔ)言能力的運(yùn)用，需要根據(jù)故事情節(jié)，了解詞匯用法的同時(shí)，結(jié)合語(yǔ)境，做出準(zhǔn)確的判斷。
