After the earthquake hit northeast of Japan on March 11，2011，many touching stories that I saw with my own eyes happened around me.

I had to walk home since all the __16__ had stopped after the quake.On my way home I __17__ an old Japanese lady at the bakery shop who was giving out free bread，which made my heart __18__．A middle­aged Japanese man was holding a sign that said，“Please use our __19__．” He was __20__ his house for people to go to the restroom.

My friend wanted to __21__ others.He stood in the cold with a sign “If you are okay with a motorcycle，I will __22__ you to your house.”And then I saw him take one gentleman home，all the way to a faraway place!

Then the next day I drove to __23__ my car with gas.There was a __24__ of gas now and many gasoline stations were either closed or had very __25__ lines.I got __26__，since I was behind 15 cars.Finally，when it was my __27__，the man smiled and said，“__28__ this situation，we are only giving $30 worth of gas per person.

Ⅱ.2011年3月11日日本发生了地震。本文叙述了作者在震后亲眼看到的感人故事，从中他感受到了人们的良好品质。

16．A　地震之后，所有车辆都停运了，因此“我”只好走回家。四个选项只有traffic与walk home有关。

17．C　在步行回家的路上，“我”注意到面包店门口有个日本老太太在向行人免费发放面包。这里用noticed表示“注意到”。A项意为“错过”；B项意为“抓住”；D项意为“听到”。

18．D　与文章开头的“touching stories”呼应，本题选D，表示在三月寒冷的天气里，这幕情景温暖了“我”的心。hungry饥饿的； soft温柔的； broken破碎的。

19．A　下文说让人们使用他家的厕所(restroom)，因此选A。本题的关键是理解后面的“restroom”的含义。

20．B　他打开自己的家门，允许人们使用他家的厕所。这里用opening表示“打开，开放”。advertise做广告； repair 修理；decorate装饰。

21．D　“我”的一个朋友也想帮助别人，于是他站在寒风中，举着个牌子。根据语境判断选D，表示“帮助”。

22．A　牌子上写着“假如你愿意坐摩托车，那么我愿意驾车送你回家。”这里用drive表示“开车送某人”。follow 跟随； lead领导； send派遣，派送。

23．B　根据语境判断选B，表示“(使)充满，注满”。作者要去加油站给自己的车加油。

24．B　由后面的“many gasoline stations were either closed…”判断选B，此时由于地震，汽油短缺。lack“缺乏”符合语境。

25．C　很多加油站要么关闭，要么站前排队等待加油的队伍很“长”。

26．A　汽油短缺，而且在“我”前面有15辆车，因此“我”担心自己加不上油。

27．B　最后终于轮到“我”了。it was my turn“轮到我了”。

28．C　此处强调原因，因此选C。因为眼下这个局面(等待加油的车太多)，加油站限量供应汽油。

29．A　加油站的油不多，只能够限量供应，大家来分享这有限的油，这样挺好的。故选A“分享”。

30．A　加油站工作人员的微笑使“我”很欣慰。

31．D　下文说“他擦掉泪水”，由此判断选D。在这个疏散中心，当人们给这个人送来食物的时候，他感激得哭了。

32．D　promise 许诺； role角色； action行动； remark话语。此处指他接下来的一番话使“我”感到诧异，因此选D。

33．B　人们给他送来食物，这个人此时内心充满感激之情，因此选B。

34．D　我们旁边那个城市的人们还没有得到过一点儿食物。因此选D，表示“得到，收到”。

35．D　在这场灾难中，从这些人身上，“我”看到的是光明的未来。这里选D，指这次地震。
