【解析】本文是一篇议论文。假如你被困在一栋失火的楼房里，此时下面有人透过浓烟向你高喊“跳”！你会跳吗？你会离开已知的危险而投身于未知的情况吗？本文作者阐述了自己的观点。（1）根据下文“will he let you fall to the ground ___6__ support your weight?” 可知，这个朝你大喊的人应该是在下面。（2）因为楼房已经着火，所以离开的应是已知的危险，选B。（3）此处指是否要往下跳这一问题的答案取决于两个因素。phenomenon“现象”； problem “问题”； answer“ 答案”； approach “方法”，故选B。（4）其一是与你对那个向你喊的人了解的程度有关；go with “伴随，搭配“；make out ”认出“； look over”仔细地查看“； do with”与… 有关“D项合语境。（5）他可靠吗？他是让你摔落在地，还是会接住你呢？reliable”可靠的，可依赖的”； capable“有才能的，有能力的”； strong“强壮的”； clever“聪明的”。故选A。（6）空处前后为选择关系，故选C。（7）根据下文可知，此处表示“人与人之间的关系也是如此”。relationship“关系”，符合语境。（8）根据前文，并结合下文的“Can they be depended on?”可知，此处表示“我们有多了解那些我们愿意信任的人？”故选B。（9）句意：当环境改变了，他们还会支持你吗？故选A。（10）根据下文“certainly, madam. I can give you even ___11__ guarantees.”可知，她在问小贩能不能提供保修单。delay“推迟，延误”；consult“查阅，磋商”；offer“提供”；acquire“获得”。故选C。（11）根据“even”可知，小贩说他甚至可以提供终身保修，lifetime“终身的”，符合语境。（12）小贩说：“我唯一不能保证的是下周一上午这个时间我还在这儿。”根据语境可知，应选can't。（13）所以说，信任的第一部分就是“相信”，courage“勇气”；dependence“依赖，依存”；strength“力量”；belief“相信，信赖”。D合语境。（14）此处指同等重要的，故选A。equally“相等地，同等地”；absolutely“绝对地”；basically“基本地，主要地”；relatively“相对地”。A合语境。（15）如果你最终还是不愿意跳，那么你有多相信你所信任的人也就无关紧要了。matter“要紧”，符合语境。（16）参见上题解析。unwilling“不愿意的”，符合语境。（17）根据下文“but not one you'll want to make for long”可知，留在着火的楼房里不是长期的选择，因此你可能决定跳下去。故选C。（18）留在着火的楼房里在任何时候都算得上是一种选择，但它不是长期的选择。always“总是，一直”合题意。（19）根据“risky”与“safe and secure”可知，前后为转折关系，因此选A。（20）句意：虽然从浓烟中跳下去很危险，但你落地)时可能会很安全很平稳。D合语境。
