【解析】

短文大意：本文是记叙文，作者讲述了一次指路的尴尬经历。因为自己方向感很差，所以当有人问路时，作者总是拒绝别人。有一次又有一个人向作者问路，作者像往常一样拒绝了他。但是他随后就意识到那个地方正是他工作的地方，可已经来不及了。当作者在办公室里见到那个陌生人时，作者感到非常的尴尬。

1.句意：不幸的是，我是其中之一。

Luckily幸运地；Unluckily不幸地；Lively活跃的。根据“I am one of them我是其中之一”，可知我的方向感也很差，Unluckily符合句意，故选B。

2.句意：我去过一个地方很多次，但下次我可能还是会在那里迷路。

get lost迷路；be sad伤心的；think about考虑。根据“I am one of them我是其中之一”，说明作者方向感也差，可知会经常迷路，故选A。

3.句意：我常常绕着圈子走，希望能碰巧走到我要去的地方。

doubt怀疑；decide决定；hope希望。根据“by chance I would get to the place I was going to靠运气走到要去的地方”，可知心中存有希望，故选C。

4.句意：现在，我不再羞于向别人问路，但我经常从他们那里得到无助甚至错误的信息。

directions方向；money金钱；time时间。根据前文“When I was a little girl, I never dared ask strangers the way当我还是个小女孩的时候，我从来不敢向陌生人问路”，可知现在敢向陌生人问路了，BC两项不合句意，故选A。

5.句意：现在，我不再羞于向别人问路，但我经常从他们那里得到无助甚至错误的信息。

right正确的；wrong错误的；useful有用的。but表转折；helpless无助的，和useful同义；根据句意可知，get helpless or even wrong information（得到无助甚至错误的信息）符合句意，故选B。

6.句意：有一次在上班的路上，我被一个男人拦住了。

work工作；school学校；place地方。根据下文“because I was rushing to meet with someone at my office因为我正赶着去办公室见一个人”，可知是去上班，故选A。

7.句意：我照例给了他一个答复。

question问题；reply答复；example例子。根据上文“He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building他问我是否可以告诉他去友谊大厦的路”，可知是回答，故选B。

8.句意：但就在我只走了几步的时候，我意识到他是在问路到我的办公楼。

my我的；his他的；your你的/你们的。根据下文“he was just the one who had asked me for directions他就是刚才向我问路的那个人”，可知是问作者所在的办公楼，后面两项不合句意，故选A。

9.句意：当我到办公室时，我的秘书把那个人领进来给我看，他就是刚才向我问路的那个人。

believed相信；showed展示；gave给。根据“he was just the one who had asked me for directions他就是刚才向我问路的那个人”，可知是领进办公室让我会见，故选B。

10.句意：想想看，当我们第一次见面时，我是多么尴尬，他又是多么惊讶!

happy高兴的；excited兴奋的；surprised惊讶的。根据上文作者的指路，可知对方见到作者本人后会很惊讶，故选C。
