After attending a conference, I returned to my hotel room late one evening．The overhead light out- side my door was burned out and I had 36 finding the keyhole．When I 37 to open the door, I 38 around the wall for a light switch．I found a plate where a switch was 39 installed… but no switch!
Not discouraged easily, I remembered 40 a lamp by the bed when I deposited my luggage 41 in the day．I found the bed in the 42 and then the lamp, but when I switched it on ,nothing 43 ! I thought that perhaps if I opened the curtains I might be able to use whatever light es in from the 44 to find another lamp．So I 45 my way slowly across the room to the curtains and …no drawstring! I finally stumbled （跌跌撞撞地） around 46 I found a desk lamp which actually 47 !
That evening I discovered in a whole new way just how dark the world 48 be and how-necessary light is! But even more necessary than 49 light is the light that shines from people—the light of 50 and faith．Because, for many people, the world is a dark and 51 place．For someone today just may be stumbling in discouragement or sadness or fear and in 52 of some light．So let your light shine．Whatever light you 53 may be a beacon of hope and encouragement．And if you feel that your light is 54 a candle in a forest remember there isn’t enough darkness in all the world to 55 the light of one small candle．

【小题5】句意理解，我没有轻易就气馁，我记得曾经在床边放了一个台灯，spot意为放置
【小题6】句意理解，在今天的早些时候，意为之前的时候，早上的时候
【小题7】上下文，作者此时还没有找到开关，正在找台灯，也还没有找到，因此是在黑暗中

【小题14】上下文，根据第二空的light that shines from people可知此处指的是现实世界中的灯光，
【小题15】上下文，根据后面的 Whatever light you 53 may be a beacon of hope and encouragement可知，此处的灯光指的是对别人的帮助，对别人的关爱。
【小题16】根据and可知，该处指的是跟dark一样的消极方面的词汇，即世界是一个黑暗和孤独的地方
【小题17】上下文，根据后面的So let your light shine可知，他们需要光，因此要So let your light shine
【小题18】动词offer意为提供 此处意为向别人提供帮助，其他选项不符合题意
【小题19】句意理解，如果你认为你的光仅仅是森林里的一根蜡烛，记住没有足够多的黑暗可以让一根蜡烛的光熄灭
