參考答案與解析

（一）

【答案與解析】本文主要敘述美國的一個白人青年幫助一個黑人老太太的故事。

1. A。根據下文60年代矛盾沖突（指白人對黑人的種族歧視），下文提到了一個白人青年幫她，因此可判斷老太太是“黑人”。

2. B。從第15空前的 freeway 一詞可以得出此題答案。

3. C。從下文 she decided to flag down the next car 說明她的車“拋錨”了。

4. B。因為車拋錨了，所以她“非常”需要搭車，只有 badly 符合此意。

5. D。從下文 in his car 得出答案。

6. D。因為是年輕人，對60年代美國種族歧視沒有聽說過，才伸出援助之手。hear of是“聽說”的意思。

7. D。take sb. to some place意為“把某人帶到某地”是固定短語。

8. A。因為是出租車，所以要“租賃（雇）”。

9. C。從下文看，她是去看他快要死了的丈夫，所以很“匆忙”。

10. A。從下文可知老太太為了感謝那位白人青年，買了一臺電視機給他送去，所以記下的是“地址”，而不是電話號碼。

11. B。從老太太留的紙條可知她沒有親自去，因此可以判斷是直接讓“售貨員”把電視機送去的。

12. A。因為他沒有買電視機，看到一個售貨員送來一臺電視機，所以感到“驚奇”。

13. C。因為是紙條，所以判斷是“貼”（stick）在電視機上。

14. B。根據第一空已經得出答案是一位黑人婦女，因此選 dark。

15. B。從上下文的時間判斷，是“幾天前的一個夜晚”。

16. B。因為后面是形容詞 wet 使渾身都濕了用 make，turn也可以跟形容詞，是表示變化，不符句意。

17. B。not only…but（also） 是固定搭配。

18. D。從上文可以得知，當老太太的車子拋錨時，那個白人青年及時地出現在她跟前，并給予了幫助。……
