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 36 your seat? A couple would like to sit together.” The only 37 seat was next to a girl with her arms in casts(石膏绷带), a black-and-blue face, and a sad 38 . “No way am I going to sit there,” I thought immediately. But a soft voice spoke, “She needs help.” Finally, I 39 to move to that seat. The girl was named Kathy. She had been in a car accident and 40 was on her way for 41 . When the snack and juice arrived, it did not take me long to 42 that Kathy would not be able to 43 herself. I considered 44 to feed her but hesitated, as it seemed too 45 to offer a service to a 46 . But then I realized that Kathy’s need was more 47 than my discomfort. I offered to help her eat, and 48 she was uncomfortable to accept, she 49 as I expected. We became closer and closer in a short period of time. By the end of the five-hour trip, my heart had 50 , and the time was really 51 spent than if I had just sat by myself. I was very glad I had reached 52 my comfort zone to sit next to Kathy and feed her. Love 53 flows beyond human borders and removes the fears that keep us 54 . When we stretch to serve another, we grow to live 55 a larger and more rewarding world.

小题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。
小题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。
小题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”。
小题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。
小题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。
小题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”。
小题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。
小题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。
小题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。
小题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。
小题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。
小题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。
小题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。
小题14:考查动词。此处did代指accepted,为了避免用词重复。
小题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。
小题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”。
小题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”。
小题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。
小题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。
小题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。
