【解析】

試題分析：這是一篇敘事說理文，介紹一群事業(yè)有成的學生回母校看望老師，并向老師請教如何排解生活事業(yè)上的困擾。老師通過咖啡和杯子這一現(xiàn)象來為學生們講述生活的真諦。

1. A. stopped 停止 B. looked 看到C. grew成長D. turned轉(zhuǎn)換。這里說到談話轉(zhuǎn)換到對于工作和生活的抱怨，即D項。

2.returned with a large pot of coffee and...可知教授應該從廚房端來茶具，即Kitchen。

3. A. Cups杯子 B. Pans平底鍋C. Bowls碗D. Bottles瓶子。根據(jù)When all the students had a cup of coffee...以及下文可知教授拿出來各種不同的杯子，即A項。

4.behind the plain and cheap ones可知此處選擇plain樸素的，一般的。

5.(請自便,隨便食用，飲用...），即B項。

6.A. Stomach肚子B. hand 手C. Mind思想 D. Mouth嘴，學生們應該是手里拿著盛有咖啡的杯子，B項。

7.7】動詞辨析。Fall behind落后；leave behind留下，遺留；hide behind躲在后面，keep behind停在后面，這里學生端起了漂亮的杯子，而把一般的留在桌上。

8.8】動詞辨析。根據(jù)下文all of you really wanted was coffee可知此處選擇D項want（想，想要）。

9.9】名詞辨析。A. source 來源B. resource 資源 C. Result結果 D. Reason原因，一般后接for而不是of，這里選擇source of sth...的來源，原有。

10.10】動詞辨析。A. Adapts適應 B. Puts放置C. Adds增添，添加D. Applies提供，供給。此處表示杯子本身并不會給咖啡增加任何效果，C項更符合句意。

11.11】考查主語從句引導詞，根據(jù)后面all of you really want可知從句缺少賓語，所以選擇what作為引導詞。

12.12】副詞辨析。A. Consciously有意識地，有意地B. Cheerfully歡快地 C. Excitedly興奮地D. Subjectively主觀地。學生們有意識地的選擇最好的杯子，而忘記了自己真正想要的其實是咖啡而不是杯子，A項最佳。

13.13】動詞辨析。A. Looking看，瞧 B. Glaring怒目而視C. Eyeing定睛地看D. Glancing瞥見，其中l(wèi)ook，stare和glance是不及物動詞不能直接加賓語，只有C項可作為及物動詞，且含義符合。

14.14】教授以咖啡和杯子作比喻，生活正如手里的咖啡，而財富社會地位等都是身外之物，正如杯子一樣，不必太在意。

15.A. Include包含包括B. change改變C. contain 容納D. Conclude總結，在這個比喻中，杯子只是盛納咖啡的工具而已，所以C項最為貼切。

16.過...生活，所以選擇B項。

17.A. Fail to未能做...B. Want to想要做...C. Tend to 往往...D. Manage to努力做...。有時候只關注于手里的杯子，我們會無法享受上帝為我們提供的咖啡的，A項，不能做到某事。

18.18】根據(jù)上題可知此處應為D項provided。

19.19】動詞辨析。最開心的人并不是那些擁有最好的一切東西，而是那些把一切事情做到做好的。

20.A. Concerns關心顧慮B. Principles原則C.achievements成就D. Complaints抱怨根據(jù)首段中 “...into complaints about stress in work and life.”可知此處D項最佳，把抱怨留給上帝。

It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.

The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries (食品雜貨), saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.

I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that，several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, and then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.

People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity (人性) as a whole. And it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.

1.Why was the bike so important to the couple?

A. The man’s job was bike racing.

B. It was their only possession.

C. It was a nice Kona 18 speed.

D. They used it for work and daily life

2.We can infer from the text that__________.

A. the couple worked 60 hours a week

B. people were busy before Christmas

C. the stranger brought over the bike

D. life was hard for the young family

3.How did people get to know the couple’s problem?

A. From radio broadcasts. B. From a newspaper.

C. From TV news. D. From a stranger.

4.What do the couple learn from their experience?

A. Strangers are usually of little help.

B. One should take care of their bike.

C. News reports make people famous.

D. An act of kindness can mean a lot.
