Answer 1

本文是一篇记叙文。有一天散步的时候，作者看见了一个颤巍巍的老太太，忽然很想为她做点儿什么。后来正好看见老太太在一家杂货店买东西，就想提前悄悄为她付账让她开心。开始收银员怀疑他的举动，后来在他的解释之下还是理解了他的善举。

1. A从上一句"I walk just minutes away from…"可以看出应该是再走一两分钟的距离。

2. C饭店卖各国风味食品。

3. B由下文的"…I felt a little…following her around..."可知不是跟踪也不是超过，而是看见了一个老太太。

4. A由上句可知"我"是在散步时偶然遇到老太太，然后突然有了要帮助她的想法。

5. B "我"觉得跟踪一个偶然碰到的老太太并寻找机会帮助她有点儿奇怪。

6. D由第二段第一句"One day,as I was walking around…"可知此处应该是"我"决定继续散步。

7. B   "我"看见老太太正在把一些食品杂货放进她的购物车。

8. D就是在那个时候"我"决定要替她付账。

that指代上一句;when在此处引导表语从句。

9. D收银员听见"我"说交给她的钱是要替老太太付账，觉得很惊讶。

10. C hand over递给，交付。

11. B "我"推测这是第一次有人在这家店这么做，因为收银员好像完全想不通"我"说的话。

12. B 由上一题解析可知答案。

13. A在那些排队等着交钱买东西的旁人面前解释这件事，对"我"来说很困难。

   H.       C见上题解析。

15. D收银员不敢相信所遇到的事，所以叫了一个同事过来。

16. C 由第二段第一句的a small elderly lady可知是一位老人。

17. A 由第三段第一句"The cashier looked at me in ... as I tried to explain that the money I was ... was for the elderly lady."可知，"我"已经给了收银员一些钱。

18. A谢天谢地，她们最终理解丫这件事并笑了。

19. B   "我"没有留下来看后面的事情结局。

20. C根据本句内容及语境可选出恰当的名词。"我"希望当老太太出来发现已经有人帮她付过账时，脸上能露出笑容
