My daughter Julie and I went shopping this morning. A little part of me thought about going to another checkout line. This one had the shortest queue, there was only one guy in it, but he was in a and there seemed to be some plications going on.
Well, I stamped on that little part, and we stepped in _ him. At first, he seemed to be having _ getting his groceries onto the conveyor belt(输送带). But after a while, I _ that what he was actually doing was dividing them into two lots.
Still, getting the stuff up there was no _ task in itself. I __to help, but he and the checkout lady had it under _ . He asked Julie if she would putting his empty basket away. Then he _ for his wallet which was in a pouch(小袋子)on one side of his chair. The way he was positioned and the fact he only had one usable _ made this quite a stretch for him, so I helped there.
What must it be like, I _, to be so dependent on other people like that?
The checkout operator came around and gave him his _ and the items he needed to have to hand. I offered to get bigger bag and he said, “ No. but you could do me a favor. Take that lot along to the entrance and give it to Angela.”
I did that, leaving Julie with our shopping. Angela, it turned out, was collecting food for people who might otherwise go _! I hadn’t even noticed her before.
This guy, despite the limitation that his condition imposed(强加于) on him, had bought more than twice as much shopping as he needed. He may have been physically, but his heart was more than capable of all that. And it changed my idea of _ when I realized that the help he had given was _ the help he had received.

(答案→)B
解析：本文讲述了作者在超市遇见一位买了很多东西的男人，他把东西分成两份，自己留下一小份，把更大的一份拜托作者给了超市入口收集食物的安琪拉来帮助那些面临饥饿的人。这让作者对独立有了新的认识，在自身条件艰难的情况下还去帮助别人，他就是一个独立坚强的人
【小题1】考查名词。 Taxi出租车；wheelchair轮椅；grocery食品杂货店；bench长凳。根据常识可知在超市买东西，排除了A、C两项，如果要坐也只有B符合语境，不可能搬着长凳坐。故选B。
【小题2】考查介词。Before在...之前；behind在....之后；near在...附近；beyond在...较远的一边。根据上文可知我们排在了坐轮椅的人后面。故选B。
【小题3】考查名词。 Difficulty困难；potential潜能；doubt怀疑；ability能力。根据下文提到把东西收起来都不是件容易的事，暗示把东西放上去也不容易。故选A。
【小题4】考查动词。Regretted后悔；recognized认识；requested要求；realized认识到。 根据句意：一会之后，我意识到他其实是在把东西分成两份。Realize作为及物动词，可以表达“认识到;了解”的意思，recognize也可以用作及物动词，表示“认出;辩认;认识”的意思，但realize是指“抽象”上的“意识到”；recognize是指“具体”的“认出”。故选D。
【小题5】考查形容词。 Special特别的；obvious明显的；easy容易的；necessary必须的。根据句意：把东西收起来都不是件容易完成的任务。故选C。
【小题6】考查动词。 Struggled奋斗；offered提供；forced强迫；preferred偏爱。根据句意：我主动提供帮助。故选B。
【小题7】考查名词。Control控制；consideration考虑；repair修理；attack攻击。固定搭配under control 处于控制之下，情况正常。故选A。
【小题8】考查动词。 Mind介意；finish完成；enjoy喜欢；escape逃脱。根据句意：他问朱莉是否介意帮他把空篮子拿走。短语would you mind doing sth你介意做某事吗。故选A。
【小题9】考查动词。Hoped希望；chose选择；reached伸出；begged请求。根据句意：接着他伸手摸他放在椅子另一边袋子里的钱包。短语reach for 伸手去拿。故选C。
【小题10】考查名词。Leg腿；knee膝盖；foot脚；arm手臂。根据上下文可知他的一只手去拿钱包了，因此只剩一只手去装东西了。故选D。
【小题11】考查动词。Warned警告；wondered想知道；feared畏惧；insisted坚持。根据句意：我想知道，那么依赖别人生活该是什么一种情况呀。故选B。
【小题12】考查名词。Change找回的零钱；bill票据；note笔记；coin硬币。根据句意：收银员给他找零和他需要上交的条目。故选A。
【小题13】考查不定指示词。 More更多；another有一个；other另位一个；the other另一个。根据上文可知坐轮椅的人把东西分成了两部分，装在两个袋子，一个是他自己拿着小袋子，因此这里应用the other 。故选D。
【小题14】考查副词。Desperately拼命地；faithfully忠实地；sadly悲伤地；gratefully感激地。根据句意：我照他说的做。故选B。
【小题15】考查形容词。Thirsty口渴的；tired疲劳的；hungry饥饿的；crazy疯狂的。根据常识可知食物是为了吃，句意是给那些饥饿的人。故选C。
