【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了一个叫做Nora的女人没钱治病，在同事和其他好心人的帮助下，筹够了钱成功做了手术，她很感激所有帮助她的人。

1.句意：我们决定为一个叫做Nora的女士筹钱。

expected期待；made制作；decided决定。根据第三段“we know we must do something for her.”和“we decided to contribute (捐赠) from all the staff's pay.”可知是我们下定决心要去做某事，故选C。

2.句意：她在一家酒店做前台。

hotel酒店；library图书馆；restaurant餐馆。根据第一句“All of the staff in my hotel did a great job recently.”可知她是在一家酒店工作，故选A。

3.句意：当她在六年级的时候，她失去了双亲。

found找到；left离开；lost失去。根据第二段“She is from a poor family.”可知Nora生世可怜，因此可推测是在很小的时候失去双亲，故选C。

4.句意：她是家里唯一一个赚钱的人，所以对她的家庭来说，支付医疗费用非常困难。

difficult难的；upset心烦意乱的；boring无聊的。根据第二段“She is the only one to make money in the family,”和“Her monthly pay is only INR. 12, 000($200), ___5___ her treatment cost is about INR. 1,000,000(＄16,000).”可知，由于只有她一个人赚钱，而所赚的钱与医疗费用相去甚远，因此支付困难，故选A。

5.句意：她每个月收入12, 000卢比，但是医疗费用高达1,000,000卢比。

so所以；until直到；but但是。她赚的钱和医疗费用相去甚远，因此两者是转折关系，故选C。

6.句意：当我们了解了她的情况，我们知道我们必须为她做点事情。

parents父母；situation情况；education教育。这里是概括第二段的内容，也就是Nora的情况，故选B。

7.句意：我们唯一能做的事情就是立马来帮助她。

pleased开心的；excited激动的；able能够的。根据下面一句“So we reported this to the top level management and they supported and joined us.”可知，帮助她是我们能够做的事情，故选C。

8.句意：许多其他领域的人也为她的治疗费用捐钱了。

also也；seldom很少；instead相反地。根据“We each contributed 2-day pay for her medical expenses,”可知，不仅我们自己酒店的人捐钱了，来自其他领域的人也捐钱了，故选A。

9.句意：幸运的是，在这些好心人的帮助下，她筹够了治疗费用。

Carefully仔细地；Luckily幸运地；Naturally自然地。前面在说她支付不起医疗费用，但是现在在大家的帮助下，筹够了钱，因此说她是幸运的，故选B。

10.句意：她感激那些在她治疗时帮助她的人们。

polite礼貌的；thankful感谢的；responsible有责任的。根据上一段“with the help of the kind people, she had enough to pay the expenses.”可知这些好心人帮她筹够了钱，因此她是心怀感激的，故选B。
