【解析】

本文讲述了临近圣诞节的一天，大商店里的服务员都在忙着服务顾客，其中一位服务员耐心地服务一位老太太的故事。

【1】B

句意：大商店里的服务员们都在忙着服务顾客。

solving解决；serving服务；celebrating庆祝，祝贺；refusing拒绝。根据语境，此处应该指的是店员正在忙于服务顾客，故选B。

【2】A

句意：一位老太太正在挑选手套。

old年老的；young年轻的；tall高的；short矮的。由下文的“But the old lady suddenly cried out”老太太突然大喊一声。可知，买东西的就是这位老太太，故选A。

【3】D

句意：柜台上摆了很多双手套。

很明显这里用到了一个固定搭配“be covered with”被……覆盖，故选D。

【4】A

句意：哦，我差点忘记了。

almost几乎，差点；already已经；never从不；yet尚，还。由下文的““Anything else, Madam ? ” asked the girl.”小女孩问：“还有别的事吗？”，可推断出，老太太可能忘记什么了，故选A。

【5】A

句意：我还想再买一双。

前文提到了这位老太太在挑选手套，可知，此处应该是说她还想再买一双，故选A。

【6】A

句意：我想知道，你是否能够帮助我。

由下文女孩的回答“Certainly，Madam”当然可以，夫人。以及“The old lady then said she wanted to buy a pair of gloves for a girl of her age. She was not sure……”老太太说，她想为和她一样大的女儿买一双手套，她不确定……。可以看出，她有求于服务员，让她帮忙，故选A。

【7】B

句意：小女孩回到道：“当然可以”。

question问题；reply回答；serve服务；advice建议。由后文的“The old lady then said she wanted to buy a pair of gloves for a girl of her age.”然后，老太太说：她想为和她一样大的女儿买一双手套。因为老太太的说话，可以看出，小女孩回到了老太太的话，故选B。

【8】D

句意：她不确定挑选什么颜色。

dig挖； add添加；delete删除；choose选择。由上文的“The old lady then said she wanted to buy a pair of gloves for a girl of her age.”她想为她的女儿买一双手套。可知，这里应该是，她不确定挑选什么颜色，故选D。

【9】B

句意：最后老太太挑了一双并付了款。

由关键词for，会让我们联想到pay for sth.为……付钱。老太太在购物，选了之后，肯定是付钱，符合题意，故选B。

【10】C

句意：亲爱的，这双是送给你的。

由上文的“the old lady gave the pair of gloves to her”老太太把那双手套给了她（the girl）。故选C。
