I was looking forward to having five days ____ from duty after working overtime for some time. ___， the only train that day back to my hometown, over 270 km away, had already ___. I thought I'd thumb a lift. I waited by the side of the ____ for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally, a man walked over and ____ himself as Gordon. He said that ____ he couldn't give me a lift, I could come to his house, which was across the road, for lunch. He'd been watching me and thought I must be ____ after standing for hours. I hesitated but he assured me I was ____， and he also offered to help me find a ____ home afterwards. When we arrived at Gordon's ____， he made us sandwiches. After lunch, he stopped a car, which took me to my hometown. Then I got married, but my husband didn't believe in giving ____ a ride.

Twentyfive years later, in 1983, I was driving alone to a nearby town, when I ____ an elderly man with a small boy, standing in the glaring heat, trying to ____ a ride. I saw my chance to repay someone for the ____ I'd been given decades earlier. I pulled over and picked the ____ up. I made them comfortable on the back seat and ____ some water and sweets.

文章大意：本文是一篇记叙文。一位叫Gordon的陌生人对作者进行了帮助，带作者去家里吃饭，并帮助作者搭便车。后来，作者一直想帮助别人，特别是等待搭便车的人，但是由于作者的丈夫对陌生人不信任，一直未能实现。后来，作者在一次单独驾车出行时，帮助了一位老人和孩子搭便车，而那位老人竟然就是曾经帮助作者的Gordon。
小题1:A 考察副词辨析。根据下文的after working overtime for some time可知此处表示休假5天。在4各选项中，off有休假的意思。故A正确。
小题2:C 考察副词辨析。根据下文the only train that day…I thought I’d…可知唯一可以返乡的火车已经离开，所以作者感觉自己很不幸运。故C项正确。
小题3:B 考察动词辨析。根据下文I thought I’d thumb a lift可知作者认为自己只能搭便车了。由此可以推理唯一的火车已经离开了。故B正确。
小题4:D 考察名词辨析。根据语境可知，作者当时在路边等着搭便车，highway指公路，大路，与文意相符。故D正确。
小题5:答案：C 考查动词辨析。一位路过的男士介绍自己是Gordon。introduce oneself as可作为短语使用，是“自称”之意。由此可知，C项符合语境。故答案选C。
小题6:答案：C 考查连词辨析。根据下文“I could come to his house”可知，前后句为让步关系。因此，although“虽然，尽管”与此相符。故答案选C。
小题7:答案：D 考查形容词辨析。根据下文“after standing for hours”和上文“for lunch”，并结合选项可知，空格处表达的意思是“饥饿的”，因此，hungry符合文义。故答案选D。
小题8:B 考察形容词辨析。根据下文可知Gordon请作者去他家吃午饭，因为当时作者有点犹豫，所以对方使作者相信自己是安全的。由此可知，空格处应该使用safe，suspicious，故B正确。
小题9:A 考察名词辨析。根据上文第一段最后一句，I thought I’d thumb a lift,可知，此处指的是Gordon使作者相信他他也会帮助作者搭到一辆车。根据lift符合上下文语境。故A正确。
小题10:C 考察名词辨析。根据上文第二段第一句I could come to his hous可知作者到了Gordon的住处。故C项符合上下文。
小题11:B 考察名词辨析。此处的语境与上文形成鲜明的对比，作者的丈夫不相信陌生人，不会让他们搭便车。由此可知B正确。
小题12:答案：A 考查形容词辨析。作者一心想帮助别人搭便车，但是，她的丈夫不愿意那样做。因此，从那些在路边上等待搭便车的人旁边经过时，作者心里感到难过。由此可知，bad符合文义。故答案选A。
小题13:C 考察副词辨析。根据上下文可知，作者之所以难过，是因为她从来不帮助陌生人，让他们搭便车。选项中只有C项表示否定的含义。故C正确。
小题14:B 考察动词辨析。作者第一次单独驾车时，注意到一个老人带着一个小男孩。因此B项符合上下文含义。
小题15:D考察动词辨析。根据上下文可知，此处指老人正在等着搭便车，get a ride是固定搭配，是搭便车的意思。故D正确。
小题16:D 考察名词辨析。根据上文可知，此处指作者早在几十年前就被给予了帮助，所以作者在寻找机会来报答曾经被给予帮助。D项帮助，恩惠；符合上下文。故D正确。
小题17:答案：A 考查名词辨析。根据上文“an elderly man with a small boy”可知，此处指的是老人和孩子两个人。在四个选项中，pair符合文义。故答案选A。
小题18:B 考察动词辨析。根据语境可知，此处指的是作者和他们一起分享水和甜品。因此shared与文意相符。故B正确。
小题19:答案：A 考查副词辨析。根据上下文可知，空格处表示的是程度，前后两句为递进关系，even意为“甚至”，与此相符。故答案选A。
小题20:答案：D 考查动词辨析。根据语境可知，作者一时想不起在哪里见过他。remind意为“提醒”；repeat意为“重复”；recommend意为“推荐，建议，劝告”；recall意为“回想起，记起”。根据语境可知，答案选D。
