Passing Your Love On
Waiting for the airplane to take off, I was happy to get a seat by myself. Just then, an air hostess approached me and asked, “Would you mind 36 your seat? A couple would like to sit together.” The only 37 seat was next to a girl with her arms in casts（石膏绷带）, a black-and-blue face, and a sad 38 . “No way am I going to sit there,” I thought immediately. But a soft voice spoke, “She needs help.” Finally, I 39 to move to that seat.
The girl was named Kathy. She had been in a car accident and 40 was on her way for 41 .
When the snack and juice arrived, it did not take me long to 42 that Kathy would not be able to 43 herself. I considered 44 to feed her but hesitated, as it seemed too 45 to offer a service to a 46 . But then I realized that Kathy’s need was more 47 than my disfort. I offered to help her eat, and 48 she was unfortable to accept, she 49 as I expected. We became closer and closer in a short period of time. By the end of the five-hour trip, my heart had 50 , and the time was really 51 spent than if I had just sat by myself.
I was very glad I had reached 52 my fort zone to sit next to Kathy and feed her. Love 53 flows beyond human borders and removes the fears that keep us 54 . When we stretch to serve another, we grow to live 55 a larger and more rewarding world.

(答案→)B
解析：
【小题1】考查动词。根据下一句可知空姐想让作者“换”座位。本段最后部分提到还有一个空座，也是暗示。
【小题2】考查形容词。本段开头部分提到作者很高兴自己找到了一个座位，再结合本句中的only一词可判断这是唯一剩下的座位。
【小题3】考查名词。根据上一句的描写可知作者不愿意和这么一个女孩坐在一起，所以第一反应是想让自己坐在那个地方“没门儿”。
【小题4】考查动词。作者最终改变了初衷，“决定”坐在那个座位上。前面提到作者最初不想那么做，因此B项不恰当。作者并没有自己事先承诺，所以最后一项不正确。
【小题5】考查副词。句中的now指的是当时的时间，而女孩是在此之前出的车祸，所以用过去完成时。
【小题6】考查名词。根据上一段中对她的描写可推断她此行的目的是“治疗”。
【小题7】考查动词。作者很快就“意识”到她由于胳膊上打着绷带，不能自己吃东西。A项表示“知道”，语意不恰当；recognize表示“认出”，语句不通顺。
【小题8】考查动词。她不能给自己“喂”东西，下一句中的feed her也提供了暗示。A项有一定的干扰性，但根据juice一词可知应该用drink，而不是eat，所以此项不太恰当。
【小题9】考查动词。offer to do sth表示“主动提出做某事”，下文中的“I offered to help her eat...”也提供了线索。
【小题10】考查形容词。作者认为这么做似乎“没有礼貌”。喂食物理应靠近，所以C项不合理；前面提到食物端上来之后，作者意识到她无法吃东西才决定帮她，并不是一见面就想提供帮助，因此D项不恰当。
【小题11】考查名词。作者和她只是萍水相逢。文中没有交代作者的性别，因此难以确定是性别差异引起的尴尬；作者本身也是“乘客”，所以C项不正确。
【小题12】考查形容词。她的需要比自己的不适更“重要”。A项表示“非同寻常的”，指的是与以往不同，语意不恰当。
【小题13】考查连词。此处是让步状语从句，表示“虽然”。即尽管她感觉接受别人的照顾不舒服，但还是顺从了。
【小题14】考查动词。此处did代指accepted，为了避免用词重复。
【小题15】考查动词。作者为能帮助别人而内心感到无比“温暖”。下一段中的love一词也提供了暗示。cheer表示“欢呼”，语意不太恰当。
【小题16】考查形容词。结合本句中的the fivehour trip可知强调的是“时间”。自己坐在座位上不需要花费“能量；精力”。
【小题17】考查介词。my fort zone指的是my seat，即作者原来的座位。上文提到作者离开了自己的座位，坐到了另外一个地方，所以用beyond，表示“在……另一边”。
【小题18】考查副词。作者字里行间是对自己的做法表示肯定，前三项都表示否定意义，可排除。
【小题19】考查形容词。that keep us separate是定语从句，修饰先行词fears。由于恐惧，我们无法进行沟通，被这堵无形的墙“分开”。此处与borders相呼应。
【小题20】考查副词。当我们“跨越”恐惧的界限，伸出温暖的双手时，就可以生活在一个更广阔的世界中。happen to do sth表示“碰巧发生某事”，不符合语意；D项在文中没有信息支持。
