【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。作者回忆了她曾经在饭店吃饭和跑马拉松的经历。在她人生最无助的时候，素不相识的人像天使一样，给了她及时的帮助和鼓励，令她精神振奋。
1．C 考查名词辨析。句意：不是你认识的人，而是一个完全陌生的人？A.friend 朋友；B.acquaintance 熟人；C.stranger 陌生人；D.relative亲戚。根据上文“Not someone you knew”可知，这个人你素不相识，完全是个陌生人(stranger)。故选C。
2．A 考查动词短语辨析。句意：这种情况在我身上发生过几次，但有两个例子非常突出。A.stand out 突出；B.fade away逐渐消失；C.differ in在某方面不同；D.pass down传下来。根据上文“It’s happened to me a few times”可知，这样的事作者曾遇到过几次，但有两件事特别突出(stand out)。故选A。
3．B 考查副词辨析。句意：几年前，我和一个朋友在一家餐馆吃饭，他一直在谈论他自己，完全没有意识到我正痛苦地坐在那里。A.gradually 逐步地；B.completely完全地；C.immediately立即；D.cautiously谨慎地。根据第3空格前后“I was dining in a restaurant with a friend who kept talking about himself, __3__ not aware of the fact that I was sitting there in misery.”可知，这个朋友完全(completely)没有意识到作者当时很痛苦。故选B。
4．D 考查动词辨析。句意：让我痛苦的不是我朋友的谈话。A.faint昏倒；B.lose 失去；C.fall落下；D.suffer遭受。根据上文“ I was sitting there in misery.”可知，作者想起了痛苦的往事，所以作者当时心情很糟，但使她难受(suffer)的不是朋友的谈话。故选D。
5．B 考查形容词辨析。句意：我刚从心碎中恢复过来，坐下来吃晚餐就让我想起了我的上一段感情。A.cheerful愉快的；B.broken心碎的；C.thankful感谢的；D.failed已失败的。根据上文“I was sitting there in misery.”可知，作者心情“不好”，因此推断正从伤心的经历中恢复，所以broken符合句意。故选B。
6．C 考查动词辨析。句意：我刚从心碎中恢复过来，坐下来吃晚餐就让我想起了我的上一段感情。A.recalled召回，回想起；B.informed通知，使了解；C.reminded提醒；D.warned警告。根据第6空前后“my last relationship”可知，使作者想起了(reminded)上一段感情。固定短语：remind sb.of sth.“提醒某人某事”。故选C。
7．B 考查名词辨析。句意：我差一点就要在餐桌边哭起来。A.counter柜台；B.table桌子；C.window窗户；D.entrance入口。根据上文“I was dining in a restaurant with a friend”可知，作者当时正在饭店吃饭，所以应是坐在桌子(table)旁边差点儿放声大哭。故选B。
8．A 考查名词辨析。句意：当我们结账时，服务员说：“您的餐费已经付了。”A.bill账单；B.menu菜单；C.journal日志；D.souvenir纪念品。根据上文“the waitress said, ’Your meal was already paid for.’”可知，当我们拿起账单(bill)时，服务员说，已经有人替我们付账了。故选A。
9．B 考查名词辨析。句意：我和我的朋友都不知道这是怎么发生的。A.thought 思想；B.clue线索；C.sense感觉；D.belief相信。上文提到我们的餐费已经有人付了，因此推断这里说的是作者和朋友没有一点头绪，不知道怎么回事。clue “线索，提示”符合语境。故选B。
10．D 考查名词辨析。句意：然后我想起我从眼角的余光里看见一个男人进来了。A.view观察，视野；B.side方面；C.border边界；D.corner角落。根据上文“ I remembered a man coming in”可推断，我从眼角余光观察到一个人进来了，out of the corner of one’s eye意为“偶然瞟见；睨视”。故选D。
11．B 考查动词辨析。句意：他穿着一身白衣服，坐在酒吧里，喝了杯啤酒，待了大概十分钟。A.discussed讨论；B.stayed停留；C.quarreled 争吵；D.settled解决，定居。根据第11空后的“ sat down at the bar, had a beer”可知，他在餐厅里“停留”了10分钟。故选B。
12．D 考查动词辨析。句意：好像有个天使在说：“我看见你了，亲爱的，一切都会好的。”A.happened刚巧，发生；B.occurred 发生，突然想起；C.proved证明；D.appeared出现。根据第12空后的“ an angel was saying, ’I see you, honey.It’s going to be okay.’”可知，这里指“好像”一个天使在说，所以appear符合句意，it appeared that“似乎……”。故选D。
13．A 考查动词辨析。句意：只剩一英里了，我没力气了。A.go 去；B.leave离开；C.remain保持，依然；D.spare抽出，匀出。根据第13空后的“I was out of gas”和第14空后的“I couldn’t move another inch.”可知，我精疲力尽，“剩下的”路不能走了。此处to go相当于remaining或left，意为“剩下的，还有”。故选A。
14．C 考查动词辨析。句意：我一步也挪不动了。A.supposed认为，推断；B.imagined想象；C.thought 想，思考；D.announced宣布。根据上文“I was out of gas”可知，作者没力气了，所以她认为(thought)自己一步也动不了了。故选C。
15．D 考查副词辨析。句意：不知从哪儿冒出来一个陌生人走到我面前说：“亲爱的，你叫什么名字？珍妮弗？好了，詹妮弗，我们走吧！来吧！比赛即将结束。你能行的！”A.somewhere在某处；B.everywhere到处；C.anywhere在任何地方；D.nowhere无处。固定搭配：out of nowhere“突然冒出来”，再根据第15空后“a stranger came up to me”可知，此处指“突然冒出来”一个陌生人，所以nowhere符合句意。故选D。

18．A 考查副词辨析。句意：我在终点线找到了他，感谢他的鼓励，却发现他那天根本不应该参加比赛。A.even甚至；B.still仍然；C.ever曾经；D.never从未。根据上文的“only to learn”可知，不定式表示意料之外的结构，因此推断此处指他“甚至”不应该来参加比赛，只是为了鼓励作者。故选A。
19．C 考查动词辨析。句意：当我想到这些短暂的天使在我需要的时候来到我身边时，我仍然摇头。A.nod点头；B.drop 落下，掉下；C.shake摇动；D.raise提高。根据下文“ when I think of these momentary __20__ that came to me at my point of need.”可知，作者最需要人鼓励的时候，人们就像天使一样来到了身边，作者觉得不可思议，所以作者仍在“摇头”。故选C。
