9、morning I was at my favorite table at a local restaurant when an elderly couple walked in”可知，此处指的是进来的是两位白发老人。gray hair “白发”。2A由下文的“It touched my heart”可推知，此处指的应该是这对老夫妇很恩爱，排队时手牵着手。3B作者看了他们一会儿，思考着自己的未来(future)。此处暗示作者也会有变老的一天，不知道到时候自己是否也会像这对老夫妇一样。4D由下文的“Just tell them someone with a name that is not ma
10、de public”可知，作者想秘密地(secretly)为这对老夫妇付饭钱。5D下文的“lifted his spirits”暗示，此处指作者之前情绪低落。in a low mood是固定用法，表示“心情不佳，情绪低落”。6C由上文提到的作者因看到老夫妇手牵手去吃饭而感动的内容可知，此处指看到他们如此的彼此依恋让作者的心情好了起来。be attached to 意为“爱恋，依恋，喜欢”。7B作者不想让这对老夫妇知道自己做的事，所以此处指当经理告诉他们这个消息时，作者假装(pretended)自己在忙着写作。8Aout of the corner of ones eye 是固定用法，意为“偶然
11、/不经意看到/瞥见某物；用眼角余光看”。9. D老夫妇四处观望，想弄明白替他们付饭钱的神秘人是众多顾客中的哪一位。figure out “弄明白，搞清楚”，符合语境。bring out“拿出，使表现出”；watch out“注意，小心”；turn out“证明是”。10D参见上题解析。此处用mysterious“神秘的”，与上文的“someone with a name that is not made public”相呼应。11C根据上文中的“lifted his spirits”可知，此处讲的应是老夫妇给作者带来了快乐(joy)。12B结合上下文可知，此处指给予不仅让接受者受益，而且对给予
12、者也有益。benefit “使受益”。13D给予是一种活动，它能让我们意识到我们都是相互联系(connected)的。下文的“That association”也是暗示。14C这种联系发挥着很大作用，能使世界成为美好的(wonderful)居住地，不论你是在世界的哪一端。15C参见上题解析。此处whichever “无论哪一个”，引导让步状语从句，且在从句中作定语，强调有范围的选择。16A作者知道当自己为别人做甚至很小的事情时，自己也总是会感到幸福。因此作者积极主动地寻找机会付出。even“甚至”，表示强调，符合语境。17B参见上题解析。actively意为 “积极地，主动地”，符合语境。ca
13、utiously意为“谨慎地”；voluntarily意为“志愿地”；attentively意为“专心致志地”。18A根据上下文语境可知，此处指不管你给予别人的东西值多少钱。economic value的意思是“经济价值”。19B结合上文作者帮老夫妇付饭钱及本文的主题可知，此处指作者建议人们主动去做善事，并注意一下自己的感受。an act of kindness意为“善事”。20C给予的最好的办法是帮助别人但不企求回报。expectation“期盼，期待”。.语法填空(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。When yo

Spanish people drink CocaCola， wear blue jeans， watch Hollywood movies， listen to American music， and eat fast food， and they do all these things daily.I think
21、that American movies are a good way to spread American culture because often people are influenced by what they see in the movies. Most of the entertainment programs and documentaries we watch on TV are from America， and most of the movies we go to are made in Hollywood.In the last few years， the go
22、vernment has tried to protect the Spanish movie. Now， in our cinemas， at least twenty percent of the movies which are shown must be from Spain or from a country of the European Union. American culture is very much a part of Spanish life. Its certain that many things from America are as much a part o
23、f their lives as Spanish things. For example， CocaCola， is as familiar to everybody as any typical Spanish product. Ive known CocaCola，my whole life.However， its different with Western fast food. For example， I dont think McDonalds is as successful in Spain as it is in other countries. In my opinion
24、， one of the reasons may be the lifestyle of the Spanish people.

25、nish children than among the adults. In any case， its obvious that American culture is more and more a part of our everyday life.【答案】One possible version：Spain is being influenced by America， which can be seen from what people do daily(要点1). As people are often influenced by American movies， the government has tried to take measures(要点2). Take CocaCola for example， it is popular among Spanish people(要点3). As for McDonalds， though not popular with adults now， it may soon be part of our everyday life(要点4).
