1.

答案　C

2.2】解析　由于離婚和失業(yè)，“我”買不起另外一把傘。afford表示“買得起；能支付”。

答案　A

3.3】解析　根據(jù)下一段的開頭“I got off the bus...”可知，“我”在“公共汽車”上坐了下來。

答案　B

4.4】解析　后一句說“I had __15__ seen angthing so lovely.”，由此可知這是一把非常“漂亮的”傘。

答案　B

5.5】解析　這把傘做工講究，“我”以前“從未”見過如此可愛的東西。

答案　D

6.6】解析　根據(jù)第20空后面的“...for the name on the umbrella.”可知，傘柄上刻有一個(gè)“名字”。

答案　C

7.7】解析　這是在公共汽車上撿到的別人丟失的東西，正常的程序是把雨傘“上交”給售票員。turn in“上交”。

答案　A

8.8】解析　“我”“想到”一個(gè)主意，決定自己帶著雨傘找到失主。occur to sb“(主意或想法突然)浮現(xiàn)于某人的腦海中”。

答案　A

9.9】解析　作者在傾盆大雨中下了車，由此可知作者“感激地”打開這把傘遮雨。

答案　D

10.0】解析　作者從電話簿上“查找”雨傘上的那個(gè)名字。search“查找，搜尋”。

答案　B

11.1】解析　作者撥通電話后，一位女士“接聽”了電話。此處answer表示“接電話”。

答案　C

12.2】解析　女士突然有了雨傘的消息，自然感到非常“驚訝”。后三項(xiàng)分別表示“恐慌”“沉默”“憤怒”，顯然不符合語境。

答案　A

13.3】解析　此處add表示“補(bǔ)充說”。assume“假定”；declare“宣布，聲明”；announce“宣告，公布”。

答案　B

14.4】解析　這把傘一個(gè)月以前就被人“從”門階前偷走了。

答案　A

15.5】解析　女士如此激動(dòng)以至于作者當(dāng)時(shí)“忘記”了自己正在尋找工作，徑直去了那位女士的家。

答案　B

16.6】解析　女士接過這把雨傘后，眼中滿是“淚水”。

答案　C

17.7】解析　根據(jù)本句內(nèi)容可知，女士想給作者錢作為“報(bào)酬”。

答案　D

18.8】解析　第四段提到這是女士已經(jīng)去世的父母送給她的生日禮物，由此可知這是一把非常“特殊的”雨傘。

答案　D

19.9】解析　作者相信接受了她的錢就會(huì)“毀壞”某種東西。

答案　B

20.20】解析　下一句提到也許是“我”的善心有了回報(bào)，由此可知作者“出乎意料地”得到了一份銷售經(jīng)理的工作。
