试题分析：本文主要介绍了Mrs Grant在公交车上错拿了一把雨伞，以及由此引出的幽默故事。

1.C  考查动词辨析及语境理解。Keep 继续；bring带来；take 带走；leave 留下. 根据前一句中的“Mrs Grant离开家时天空很晴朗“可知，她决定不带雨伞，take an umbrella是固定搭配，因此答案为C。

2.D  考查连词辨析及语境理解 before 在。。之前；until 直到。。才；though 虽然；when当。。时候。根据后文她拿错伞，可知当汽车到市场时雨还没有停，“当....的时候”应该用连词when，因此答案为D

3.A  考查动词及语境理解 hanging 悬挂；appearing 出现；dropping 掉下；losing失去。由外面正在下雨及关键词“心不在焉的”，可知她应该是顺手拿起“挂在”她前面的雨伞，因此答案为A。

4.B  考查形容词及语境理解 angry 愤怒；sorry 抱歉 ；lucky 幸运的；glad高兴的。等她知道拿错伞后，一定是不好意思，因此答案为B。

5.D  考查名词及语境理解  reply 回答；call 打电话；suggestion 建议；look表情。伞主人此时的脸上应该是非常不高兴，因为最需要伞的时候，它却被别人给拿走了，因此答案为D。

6.B  考查动词及语境理解  promised 承诺；decided 决定；agreed 同意；remembered 记得。本题题意为“然后她决定再买一把当作礼物送给女儿。”“决定”应该表示为decide，因此答案为B。

7.B  考查动词及语境理解  hiking 远足；shopping 购物 ；trying 试着；searching 搜查。根据句意 她去市场的目的是购物，因此答案为B。

8.C  考查动词及语境理解  meant 意味着；explained 解释；saw 看到；forgot 忘记。根据句意 她坐上车后才“看见”，故用动词saw。

9.D  考查形容词及语境理解  jealous 妒忌的；bored 厌倦的；satisfied 满意的；uncomfortable 不舒服的。本句句意为“她正坐在那个上午让她感到尴尬的妇女旁边，因此答案为D。

10.A  考查名词及语境理解  day 天；meal 饭；journey 旅行；present 目前。这正是文章的幽默所在，那个妇女以为Mrs Grant又拿错了别人两把伞，故讽刺她说你今天太幸运了。
