67、concerning答案C解析正因为作者认为自己是个独立的成年人了，才不会向她叔叔承认油箱里的汽油不多了。admit(常指勉强)承认，admit to sb.that.向某人承认。10A.eighty BeightCeighth Deighths答案C解析本题考查分数表达法。分数中的分母需用序数词，故排除A、B两项；分子为one或a/an时，作为分母的序数词不必加“s”，故排除D项。11A.another BmoreCmuch Dsome答案B解析由于油箱所剩汽油已没多少，故需要再买一些，而gas(汽油)为不可数名词，故首先排除A项；C、D两项不合逻辑，故被排除。12A.drop Bincre
68、aseCreduce Ddecrease答案A解析由语境可知此处表示油箱里的油越来越少了，再结合前面的“the needle”可知drop(fall to a lower level)为正确答案。13A.train station Bbus stationCrailway station Dgas station答案D解析作者的车开始冒黑烟了，由此可判断汽油快用完了，因此她把车开进了一家加油站。下一段中的“write him a check for gas”也有暗示。14A.at one time Bat a timeCat times Dat that time答案D解析作者在上文提到的“n
69、o cash”已经为此处埋下了伏笔，即当时那家加油站只有通过现金才能加油。at one time曾经；at a time一次，每次；at times有时，间或；at that time在那时。句意为：当时没有自助加油系统，没有信用卡，也没有自动取款机。15A.could BmightCshould Dmust答案A解析本句or后的“I could sleep”中的could有所暗示。could可以；might可能；should应该；must必须。16A.scramble BdriveCclimb Dwalk答案D解析如果不能开支票购买汽油，作者只能在车内睡上一夜，在第二天步行去有银行的城镇取钱
70、。scramble爬，攀登；drive驾车；climb爬；walk步行。17A.ordered BhelpedCwarned Darrested答案D解析加油站的服务员很不近人情，他告诉作者可以睡在车里但他会让人把作者抓起来。order命令；help帮助；warn警告；arrest逮捕，拘留。18A.went up Bdrove upCpulled up Ddrew into答案C解析正当作者被逼无奈之时，一辆客货两用车在靠近作者所在加油泵的另一个加油泵旁停了下来。go up上升；drive up使价格迅速上升；pull up(车辆)停下来；draw into(车、船等)驶入。19A.trie
71、d BsucceededCreasoned Dfailed答案D解析根据上文可知作者对加油站服务员的请求并未成功，故答案为D项。failed失败的，不成功的。20A.Fill BFilledCFilling DTo fill答案A解析本句为祈使句，呼应文章标题，故答案为A项。21A.increased BraisedCaccumulated Dfired答案A解析在处于困境时，有人主动提供帮助，由此可见作者摆脱困境的希望增加了。设空处需要用不及物动词，首先排除B项(raise为及物动词)；accumulate积累，强调逐渐增加，不合语境，故被排除；fire作不及物动词时，意为：(发动机)发动，
72、点火，也不合语境，故也被排除。increase既可作及物动词，也可作不及物动词，意为：become or make sth.greater in number，quantity，value etc.(使)增加。22A.value BworthyCworth Dmoney答案C解析worth价值多少的东西。worthy作名词，意为“要人，知名人士”；value(商品)价值；money金钱。23A.pardoned BrepeatedCsaid Dspoke答案B解析根据上文中的“ her tank first，”可推知答案为repeated。pardon表示让别人重复，不合句意。24A.ensu
73、ring BsupposingChoping Dconsidering答案C解析那位主动提供帮助的陌生人告诉作者将来有一天为处于同一困境的人做同样的事，于是作者便希望遇到那个人以便提供帮助。ensure确保；suppose假设；hope希望；consider考虑。25A.shows BgoesCgrows Dcomes答案A解析句意为：同时，我还做其他善事，以防她永远不会出现。show up(appear)出现；go up上升；grow up长大；come up(植物)长出地面，(太阳)升起，发生，被提及。26A.easygoing BpoliteCpowerful Dquiet答案D解析根据
74、文章描述可知为作者提供帮助的那个人言语不多，故答案为D项。easygoing容易相处的；polite有礼貌的；powerful强壮的，有权势的；quiet：(of a person) tending not to talk very much(人)寡言少语的。27A.introducing BinstructingCinteresting Dinteracting答案B解析根据上文的“(Fill) her tank first”和“Fill it”可知答案。句意为：每当我做善事时，眼前总会浮现那个寡言少语的人指示那个加油站的服务员为我的油箱加油的场景。作者的言外之意是：那个陌生人一直在激励着她
