【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文主要介绍了一位富太太在路上车坏了，遇到一个刚下班回家的男子Robert并帮她修好了车，但他没求回报，而这位太太途径路边的一破旧房子时给对方留下了500美元，这户人家恰恰是伸出援助之手的Robert，由于得到了经济援助而使这个即将迎来宝宝诞生的贫穷之家度过了难关，这种以德报德的善举使得社会充满了温馨和爱意。

1.考查名词及语境的理解。根据下文the car was at last fixed by Robert．可知应该是这位富太太的车坏了，而且本句的谓语部分had broken down是“身体垮掉或车抛锚”，可能推出答案，故选D。

2.考查名词及语境的理解。根据本句的意思可知他是像往常一样走在下班回家的路上。On one’s way to意为“在去往某地的路上”；road为具体的道路；step意为“台阶，步伐”，life意为“生活、生命”故选B。

3.考查动词及语境的理解。 He looks very cold and hungry．根据这句话可知，这位富太太是担心这个男子是否会帮助她修车，由wonder一词也可猜出答案，故选A。

4.考查代词及语境的理解。因为文中至此只提到了两位主人公，所以此处应该是她很意外这个男子竟然停下来问是否需要帮忙；故选B。

5.考查名词及语境的理解。根据下一句车子被修好了应该是过了40分钟之后，由常识也可推断不应该是40个小时或者40天更不可能是40年；故选C。

6.考查代词及语境的理解。本句是说在男子修完车后女士要付钱被拒绝，所以用“No，that’s nothing”来回答；其他的代词不符合文意；故选A。

7.考查名词及语境的理解。Robert拒绝的理由是他只是在帮助有困难的人，根据下文他希望这位女士也能有机会帮助有困难的人也可推断出答案；故选C。

8.考查副词及语境的理解。Whenever表示“无论任何时候”，符合男子的期望：“你能在任何时候遇到这样的情况也能像我一样去帮助别人”，give him a hand意为“帮某人一把”。故选B。

9.考查动词及语境的理解。女士开车过了几分钟后在路边应该是看到一个非常破旧的房子，而不可能是听说、闻到或者感到一个房子；故选A。

10.考查副词及语境的理解。房子的女主人邀请这位女士进屋，in表示“进入到里面”；out是“出去”，away意为“离开”，along意为“一起”；故选C。

11.考查形容词及语境的理解。根据上文说那是一间破旧的房子和下文 that they needed help可知，这应该是一个需要帮助的贫困家庭；故选D。

12.考查动词及语境的理解。leave sth on the table意为“把什么放在桌上”，女士想帮帮这户人家，所以她留下了一些钱然后走了；故选D。

13.考查形容词及语境的理解。Robert在回到家时还在想着他们的艰难生活，因为他妻子下个月就要生育了，而他的家境有不富裕，故选B。

14.考查代词及语境的理解。很明显此处应该描述的是家中的钱不足以够妻子生孩子用的，所以用enough；故选C。

15.考查形容词及语境的理解。根据前文妻子说不用担心，后面的句子也说有人帮他们摆脱了困境，可知此处应该是一切都会好起来的；故选A。

考点：故事类短文。
