Question

I'd been travelling for long hours on a lonely country road when I had a flat tire. So I had to stop and get the tools to  36 the problem. It certainly wasn’t  37 doing this with a white shirt and suit on.

Nightfall was approaching. Suddenly a car pulled  38 from behind me. A man got out and offered to  39 me. Seeing his unpleasant appearance and tattoos（纹身）on his arm, I became  40 as thoughts of robberies flashed through my mind. But  41 I could say anything he had already begun to take the tools to change the  42 . While watching him I happened to look back at his car and noticed someone sitting in the passenger seat. This had  43 me.

Then, without  44 , it began to rain. He suggested that I wait in his car because my car was unsafe. As the rain increased, getting us wet within seconds, I  45 agreed. When I settle into the back seat, a woman’s voice came from the front seat. “Are you all right?” She turned around to me. “Yes, I am.’’ I replied with much  46  when seeing an old woman there. It must be his Mom, I thought. To my  47 , the old woman was a neighbor of the man who was helping me. “Jeff insisted on stopping when he saw you  48 with the tire. ”“I am grateful for his help, ” I said. “Me, too!” she said with a smile. He helped drive her to see her husband twice a week in a nursing home. She also said that he  49 at the church and tutored disadvantaged students.

The rain stopped and Jeff and I changed me tire. I tried to offer him money and of course he  50 it. It was shameful that I judged people by the way they  51 . As we shook hands I began to apologize for my  52 . He said, ‘‘I experience that same  53 often. People who look like me don’t do nice things. I  54 thought about changing the way. But then I saw this as a chance to make a  55 . So I’ll leave you with the same question I ask everyone who takes time to know me. If Jesus returned tomorrow and walked among us again, would you recognize Him by what He wore or by what He did?’’

【解析】

试题分析：作者的车在途中瘪胎，一名陌生的男子主动提供帮助。他的外貌让作者提心吊胆，后来作者才发觉对方并无恶意，而且他还帮作者换好了轮胎，作者深深为自己以貌取人的做法感到羞愧。

1.C上句提到车胎瘪了，所以作者不得不停下来用工具解决这个问题。此处fix表示“修理”。

2.B作者穿着白色的衬衣和套装，处理这样的问题当然不“容易”。

3.A突然一辆车在作者身后停了下来。此处pull up表示“(使车)停下”。

4.D一名男子从车里走出来，主动“帮助”作者。7空后面的内容是线索提示。

5.B作者看到他那令人讨厌的外貌和胳膊上的文身后，脑海中闪现出打劫的场景，开始“害怕”起来。A项表示“气馁的”，C项表示“失望的”，D项表示“吃惊的”，均不符合语境。

6.D作者还“没有来得及”说任何话，他已经开始接过工具忙碌起来。before表示“在……之前”。

7.A文章开头部分提到作者的车胎瘪了，所以那位男子是在更换“车胎”。

8.B作者看到男子的第一反应是抢劫，此时又注意到车中还坐着另外一个人，自然感到非常“担心”。此处concern 表示“让(某人)担忧”。

9.A随后，没有任何“先兆”，天开始下雨。warning“先兆”。

10.D根据作者见到这名男子后的反应可推测作者“不情愿地”同意了对方的建议。

11.C作者原以为会遭遇抢劫，想不到车中坐的是一位老太太，因此感到非常“宽慰”。

12.C上一句提到作者猜想这位老太太一定是男子的妈妈，此处指出她是男子的邻居，由此可知作者感到非常“惊讶”。

13.D老太太告诉作者当Jeff看到作者“吃力地”修理车胎时，就坚持要停下来。struggle“吃力地进行”。

14.D根据上一句中的内容可推测男子是“自愿”在教堂从事义务劳动。另外，本句后半部分提到的他对贫困学生的帮助也是线索提示。

15.A上一段的后半部分提到他免费帮助老太太，还经常做义务服务，由此可知他理所当然地“拒绝”了作者给他的酬劳。

16.C第二段的前半部分提到作者是在看到他的外貌和胳膊上的文身后才联想到了抢劫，所以此处是为自己以“貌”取人感到羞愧。

17.B作者根据Jeff的外貌判断他是想抢劫，想不到对方是在真心帮助自己，所以作者为自己的“愚蠢”道歉。

18.C作者见到男子的第一想法是抢劫，由此可知男子经常经历同样的“反应”。

19.B男子说外貌看起来像他那样的人不做好事，他“实际上”考虑过改变这种形象。

20.A由下文男子留给人们的问题可知男子把这看做是一次证明一种看法的机会，此处point表示“看法，观点”。
