這篇短文講述的是作者在等丈夫下班一起開車回家的時候，看到了一個非常漂亮的女人，作者非常羨慕她，覺得自己與她比起來簡直太寒酸了，甚至埋怨生活的不公。但后來作者知道那個漂亮的女人是殘疾的，這時作者才知道自己是多么的幸運。

【1】句意：一天當(dāng)我在等他的時候，一輛漂亮的凱迪拉克停在我旁邊。end結(jié)束；stop停止；mark標(biāo)記；point指出。根據(jù)下句話I was busily ___2___ the car when I noticed the driver.，作者開始欣賞這部美麗的汽車，因此這輛車是停在了作者的旁邊，故應(yīng)選B。

【2】句意：當(dāng)我注意到司機時，我正忙著欣賞那部車。admiring欣賞，欽佩；comparing比較；decorating裝飾；following跟隨，遵循。根據(jù)上文a beautiful Cadillac…以及空后when I noticed the driver可知，作者在欣賞這部漂亮的汽車，故應(yīng)選A。

【4】句意：她的眼睛像藍色的海洋，她有珍珠一樣的一排牙齒。ears耳朵；fingers手指；legs腿；teeth牙齒。根據(jù)空后like a row of pearls“像一排珍珠一樣”可知，這里形容的應(yīng)該是牙齒，故選D。

【5】句意：坐在那兒，穿著牛仔褲和T恤衫，我想哭。covered覆蓋；dressed穿著；included包括；trapped陷入困境。根據(jù)空后jeans and T-shirt牛仔褲和T恤衫可知，這里是“穿著…”，故選B。

【7】句意：幾周后，我得到了答案。answered 回答；presented提出，呈現(xiàn)；raised提高；solved解決。根據(jù)上文I would wonder if she and her husband ate out a lot and where they went. I wanted her to get out of the car so I could see her clearly. Did she wear high-fashioned shoes?可知，關(guān)于這個女人，作者心里有很多的疑問，這這些疑問在幾周之后得到了解答，故應(yīng)選A。

【8】句意：這個女人拄著拐杖，慢慢地走到副駕駛位。actively積極地；rapidly快速地；slowly慢慢地；suddenly突然。根據(jù)下文the woman walked around to the passenger side, with a walking stick. She had a prosthetic (假肢) on her left leg可知，這個女人的左腿是假肢，她拄著拐杖，應(yīng)該是慢慢地走，故應(yīng)選C。

【9】句意：當(dāng)我的丈夫來的時候，我告訴了他發(fā)生的事情。announced宣布；disappeared消失；happened 發(fā)生；mistaken錯誤。根據(jù)句意可知，作者把發(fā)生的事情告訴給丈夫，故應(yīng)選C。

The rail company gave a large number of money to her because the crossing had no ___10___;可知，這個女人在12歲的時候發(fā)生了交通事故，鐵路公司賠錢，是因為那個路口沒有標(biāo)志牌，故D選項合理。

這篇短文作者講述了她看到的一個女人的故事，通過這個故事作者告訴我們，在這個世界上仍然有比我們還不幸的人，不要被他們的外表欺騙了。短文敘述清晰，文意比較容易理解。題型是完形填空，考查學(xué)生們在具體語境中運用語言的能力，綜合性較強。做題時，應(yīng)先通讀短文，了解文意；然后根據(jù)上下文語境的提示作答，先易后難，注意空前后的固定搭配，并仔細辨析選項中單詞的意思和用法；最后將答案代入原文，再讀一遍，檢查答案是否正確。例如第3小題，考查形容詞辨析，bravest最勇敢的；happiest最快樂的；prettiest最美麗的；wealthiest最富有的。根據(jù)下文的描述Her eyes were as blue as the sea, and she had ___4___ like a row of pearls可知，這里是說這個女人非常的美麗，故應(yīng)選B。再如第8小題，考查副詞辨析，actively積極地；rapidly快速地；slowly慢慢地；suddenly突然。根據(jù)下文the woman walked around to the passenger side, with a walking stick. She had a prosthetic (假肢) on her left leg可知，這個女人的左腿是假肢，她拄著拐杖，應(yīng)該是慢慢地走，故應(yīng)選C。
