【解析】
试题分析：这是一篇叙事说理文，介绍一群事业有成的学生回母校看望老师，并向老师请教如何排解生活事业上的困扰。老师通过咖啡和杯子这一现象来为学生们讲述生活的真谛。
1. A. stopped 停止 B. looked 看到C. grew成长D. turned转换。这里说到谈话转换到对于工作和生活的抱怨，即D项。
2.returned with a large pot of coffee and...可知教授应该从厨房端来茶具，即Kitchen。
3. A. Cups杯子 B. Pans平底锅C. Bowls碗D. Bottles瓶子。根据When all the students had a cup of coffee...以及下文可知教授拿出来各种不同的杯子，即A项。
4.behind the plain and cheap ones可知此处选择plain朴素的，一般的。
5.(请自便,随便食用，饮用...），即B项。
6.A. Stomach肚子B. hand 手C. Mind思想 D. Mouth嘴，学生们应该是手里拿着盛有咖啡的杯子，B项。
7.7】动词辨析。Fall behind落后；leave behind留下，遗留；hide behind躲在后面，keep behind停在后面，这里学生端起了漂亮的杯子，而把一般的留在桌上。
8.8】动词辨析。根据下文all of you really wanted was coffee可知此处选择D项want（想，想要）。
9.9】名词辨析。A. source 来源B. resource 资源 C. Result结果 D. Reason原因，一般后接for而不是of，这里选择source of sth...的来源，原有。
10.10】动词辨析。A. Adapts适应 B. Puts放置C. Adds增添，添加D. Applies提供，供给。此处表示杯子本身并不会给咖啡增加任何效果，C项更符合句意。
11.11】考查主语从句引导词，根据后面all of you really want可知从句缺少宾语，所以选择what作为引导词。
12.12】副词辨析。A. Consciously有意识地，有意地B. Cheerfully欢快地 C. Excitedly兴奋地D. Subjectively主观地。学生们有意识地的选择最好的杯子，而忘记了自己真正想要的其实是咖啡而不是杯子，A项最佳。
13.13】动词辨析。A. Looking看，瞧 B. Glaring怒目而视C. Eyeing定睛地看D. Glancing瞥见，其中look，stare和glance是不及物动词不能直接加宾语，只有C项可作为及物动词，且含义符合。
14.14】教授以咖啡和杯子作比喻，生活正如手里的咖啡，而财富社会地位等都是身外之物，正如杯子一样，不必太在意。
15.A. Include包含包括B. change改变C. contain 容纳D. Conclude总结，在这个比喻中，杯子只是盛纳咖啡的工具而已，所以C项最为贴切。
16.过...生活，所以选择B项。
17.A. Fail to未能做...B. Want to想要做...C. Tend to 往往...D. Manage to努力做...。有时候只关注于手里的杯子，我们会无法享受上帝为我们提供的咖啡的，A项，不能做到某事。
18.18】根据上题可知此处应为D项provided。
19.19】动词辨析。最开心的人并不是那些拥有最好的一切东西，而是那些把一切事情做到做好的。
20.A. Concerns关心顾虑B. Principles原则C.achievements成就D. Complaints抱怨根据首段中 “...into complaints about stress in work and life.”可知此处D项最佳，把抱怨留给上帝。

It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.
The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries (食品杂货), saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.
I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that，several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, and then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.
People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity (人性) as a whole. And it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.
1.Why was the bike so important to the couple?
A. The man’s job was bike racing.
B. It was their only possession.
C. It was a nice Kona 18 speed.
D. They used it for work and daily life
2.We can infer from the text that__________.
A. the couple worked 60 hours a week
B. people were busy before Christmas
C. the stranger brought over the bike
D. life was hard for the young family
3.How did people get to know the couple’s problem?
A. From radio broadcasts. B. From a newspaper.
C. From TV news. D. From a stranger.
4.What do the couple learn from their experience?
A. Strangers are usually of little help.
B. One should take care of their bike.
C. News reports make people famous.
D. An act of kindness can mean a lot.
