完形填空
本文是一篇记叙文，内容温馨，富有教育意义。文字简单易懂，整体难度不大。文章以倒叙的方式讲述了一个男孩在16岁的时候做了一件好事：给一位在音乐会结束后遗忘了雨伞的老太太主动送还雨伞，在20年之后还被当事人记得的故事。
1. B 句意：包裹是一个很长很窄的用棕*纸很仔细地包着的盒子。根据句意，此处表示包装的方式“很仔细地”，所以选B。strictly“严格地”； roughly“粗糙地”；casually“随意地”。
2. A 句意：打开盒子，奥斯卡看到里面是一把雨伞。此处opening是现在分词作状语，因为和主语Oscar之间是主动关系，故用opening。
3. D 句意：尽管他有20多年没有看到过它了，但他还是立即认出了它。此处表示让步关系，故用Although。
4. C 相关句意见第3题解析。此处表示奥斯卡立刻认出了雨伞，故选immediately。clearly“清楚地”；fully“完全地”；suddenly“突然地”，均不符合句意。
5. B 句意：当第一次看到这把特殊的雨伞时，奥斯卡16岁。根据文章第二段的描述可知，这是一把特殊的雨伞，所以用unusual。average，plain均表示“一般的、普通的”，不符合文意。typical“典型的”，也不符合文意。
6. A 句意：因为感觉它非常漂亮，奥斯卡特别想找到它的主人。此处表示奥斯卡对这把伞的漂亮印象很深刻，所以用beauty。shape“形状”；origin“起源”；history“历史”。文章中并没有提及奥斯卡对雨伞的形状、来源及历史的关注，B、C和D三项均不符合句意。
7. D 相关句意见6题解析。此处指雨伞的主人。designer“设计者”；seller“销售者”；user“使用者”，均不符合句意。
8. A 句意：奥斯卡说服经理去查看票务预订记录。根据句意此处是说服之意，故选A项，convinced“说服”。force“强迫”；encourage“鼓励”；advise“建议”。
9. D 句意：正如他所想的，有一个名字和奥斯卡发现雨伞的座位匹配。此空考查定语从句的关系词，因为先行词是seat，且关系词在定语从句中作地点状语，故用where。
10. C 句意：奥斯卡说服了他的祖父母在回家时路过奥布俐太太家。这里指的家是位置概念，所以用house。family指“家庭或家人”；theater“剧院”；neighborhood“邻居，社区”，均不符合句意。
11. B 句意：“需要什么帮助吗？”她问道。这是对敲门的陌生人的客套问话。
12. D 句意：……奥斯卡说着，同时拿出那把雨伞，像呈上一份似乎是渴望多年的礼物一样。hold out“拿出，呈上”，符合句意。put up“搭建，张贴”；turn out“结果是，关掉”；pick up“拿起，搭载，学会”，均不符合句意。
13. C 相关句意见12题解析。根据文意此处指礼物，所以用gift。chance“机会”；fact“事实”；result“结果”，均不符合句意。
14. A 句意：……奥布俐太太开心地笑着回答，她眼中闪着光。wide smile指“笑得很开心”。
15. B 句意：我可以为你的善良给予回报吗？此处用kindness，符合句意，指奥斯卡主动送还雨伞这件事。patience“耐心”；courage“勇气”；determination“决心”，均不符合句意。
16. C 句意：哦，那正是我父亲过去常常对我讲的。此处exactly表示“正好，恰好”。obviously“明显地”；naturally“自然地”；probably“也许”，均不符合句意。
17. A 根据上文“Years later”可知，此处用old。 rare“稀有的”；precious“宝贵的”；nice“好的”，均不符合句意。
18. D 句意：好像是为了回答他的疑问，一个便条从纸袋里掉了下来。根据文意，奥斯卡对这把雨伞心存疑问，就在这时纸条掉了下来，所以用in answer，与上文的问句相呼应。in contrast“与此相反”；in return“作为回报”；in exchange“作为交换”，均不符合句意。
19. B 句意：上面写道：奥布俐太太希望你接受这把雨伞，作为多年前你善良无私行为的一份礼物。根据文意，这里是指请奥斯卡接受这份礼物，故用accept。possess“拥有”；carry“拿，扛”；value“珍惜”，均不符合句意。
20. C 相关句意见上题解析。根据句意，此处指无私的行为，所以用unselfish。attractive“有吸引力的”；significant“意义重大的，重要的”；sympathetic“同情的，有同情心的”，均不符合句意。
