Passing Your Love On
Waiting for the airplane to take off, I was happy to get a seat by myself. Just then, an air hostess approached me and asked, “Would you mind 1your seat? A couple would like to sit together.” The only 2seat was next to a girl with her arms in casts(石膏绷带), a black-and-blue face, and a sad 3. “No way am I going to sit there,” I thought immediately. But a soft voice spoke, “She needs help.” Finally, I 4to move to that seat.
The girl was named Kathy. She had been in a car accident and 5was on her way for 6.
When the snack and juice arrived, it did not take me long to 7that Kathy would not be able to 8herself. I considered 9to feed her but hesitated, as it seemed too 10to offer a service to a 11. But then I realized that Kathy’s need was more 12than my discomfort. I offered to help her eat, and 13she was uncomfortable to accept, she 14as I expected. We became closer and closer in a short period of time. By the end of the five-hour trip, my heart had 15, and the time was really 16spent than if I had just sat by myself.
I was very glad I had reached 17my comfort zone to sit next to Kathy and feed her. Love 18flows beyond human borders and removes the fears that keep us 19. When we stretch to serve another, we grow to live 20a larger and more rewarding world.

Answer 1

BCBAD ACBAA DCBDA CDDAB
1.考查动词。根据下一句可知空姐想让作者“换”座位。本段最后部分提到还有一个空座，也是暗示。
2.考查形容词。本段开头部分提到作者很高兴自己找到了一个座位，再结合本句中的only一词可判断这是唯一剩下的座位。
3.考查名词。根据上一句的描写可知作者不愿意和这么一个女孩坐在一起，所以第一反应是想让自己坐在那个地方“没门儿”。
4.考查动词。作者最终改变了初衷，“决定”坐在那个座位上。前面提到作者最初不想那么做，因此B项不恰当。作者并没有自己事先承诺，所以最后一项不正确。
5.考查副词。句中的now指的是当时的时间，而女孩是在此之前出的车祸，所以用过去完成时。
6.考查名词。根据上一段中对她的描写可推断她此行的目的是“治疗”。
7.考查动词。作者很快就“意识”到她由于胳膊上打着绷带，不能自己吃东西。A项表示“知道”，语意不恰当；recognize表示“认出”，语句不通顺。
8.考查动词。她不能给自己“喂”东西，下一句中的feed her也提供了暗示。A项有一定的干扰性，但根据juice一词可知应该用drink，而不是eat，所以此项不太恰当。
9.考查动词。offer to do sth表示“主动提出做某事”，下文中的“I offered to help her eat...”也提供了线索。
10.考查形容词。作者认为这么做似乎“没有礼貌”。喂食物理应靠近，所以C项不合理；前面提到食物端上来之后，作者意识到她无法吃东西才决定帮她，并不是一见面就想提供帮助，因此D项不恰当。
11.考查名词。作者和她只是萍水相逢。文中没有交代作者的性别，因此难以确定是性别差异引起的尴尬；作者本身也是“乘客”，所以C项不正确。
12.考查形容词。她的需要比自己的不适更“重要”。A项表示“非同寻常的”，指的是与以往不同，语意不恰当。
13.考查连词。此处是让步状语从句，表示“虽然”。即尽管她感觉接受别人的照顾不舒服，但还是顺从了。
14.考查动词。此处did代指accepted，为了避免用词重复。
15.考查动词。作者为能帮助别人而内心感到无比“温暖”。下一段中的love一词也提供了暗示。cheer表示“欢呼”，语意不太恰当。
16.考查形容词。结合本句中的the five­hour trip可知强调的是“时间”。自己坐在座位上不需要花费“能量；精力”。
17.考查介词。my comfort zone指的是my seat，即作者原来的座位。上文提到作者离开了自己的座位，坐到了另外一个地方，所以用beyond，表示“在……另一边”。
18.考查副词。作者字里行间是对自己的做法表示肯定，前三项都表示否定意义，可排除。
19.考查形容词。that keep us separate是定语从句，修饰先行词fears。由于恐惧，我们无法进行沟通，被这堵无形的墙“分开”。此处与borders相呼应。
20.考查副词。当我们“跨越”恐惧的界限，伸出温暖的双手时，就可以生活在一个更广阔的世界中。happen to do sth表示“碰巧发生某事”，不符合语意；D项在文中没有信息支持。
