We before a shoe store. Inside, a salesman me with the finest pair of Oxfords I had seen. I felt about 10 feet tall when I got up them. “We’d like a pair of new socks too, ”Mr. Rader said.
Back in his office, Mr. Rader took out a , wrote something on it, and handed it to me. With tearful eyes, I read, “ to others as you would have them do to you. ”He said affectionately(亲切地), “Jimmy, I want you to I love you. ”

(答案→)C 解析：作者偶然翻开卡片, 思绪回到从前, 恩情永生难忘, 世界如此温暖。一张卡片, 一位好人, 一段美好的人生回忆。【小题1】选C。习语搭配题。作者看到这张卡片后, 把它“翻过来”去看卡片背面的内容。turn over表示“翻转”。【小题2】选C。逻辑推理题。在卡片的背面, 有草草的手写的“信息”, 字都退色了。message一般指口头传递的或书写的信息, 是可数名词。D项通常指消息、情报、资料等, 是不可数名词, 故排除。【小题3】选D。逻辑推理题。看到卡片上的内容, 作者的思绪立刻“回”到了多年以前。【小题4】选A。词汇复现题。根据第二段最后一句中的“magazines”可知作者当时背着一包“杂志”。【小题5】选B。词语辨析题。作者当天转了几圈后, 最终来到了那家公司。【小题6】选D。词语辨析题。Mr. Rader总是把作者带到那里, “询问”他的员工是否想购买作者的杂志。【小题7】选D。习语搭配题。作者像一只落汤鸡一样“抖落”身上的雨水, 走进了他的办公室。shake off“抖掉, 甩掉”, 符合语境。【小题8】选B。习语搭配题。他匆匆地看了一眼, 发觉作者的窘况后, 把作者“领”到壁炉旁。lead sb. to把某人领到……。【小题9】选A。词语辨析题。本段的后半部分提到他为作者购买了一双新鞋, 由此可推知他注意到了作者的鞋上有“洞”。【小题10】选B。词汇复现题。由上文情景和下文的a shoe store可知答案为B。【小题11】选A。词语辨析题。他们将车“停”在一家鞋店前。pull up“停车, 停止”, 符合题意。后三项分别表示“理解, 吸收”、“开走”、“走近”, 都不符合语境。【小题12】选B。词语辨析题。售货员给作者挑选了一双非常合适的鞋, 此处fit用作动词, 意为“使适合”。【小题13】选C。逻辑推理题。这是作者“曾经”见到过的最好的一双牛津鞋。【小题14】选D。词语辨析题。作者穿上这双鞋站起来后, 感觉自己大约有十英尺那么高, in them表示的是in the shoes。【小题15】选C。词汇复现题。文章第一段提到作者看到那张“卡片”后, 思绪回到了从前, 此处与之相呼应。【小题16】选A。词汇复现题。根据本句后半部分中的“do to you”可知此空应用Do。本句的意思是“己所不欲, 勿施于人”。【小题17】选B。词语辨析题。他亲切地说: “吉米, 我想让你知道我爱你。”【小题18】选A。词语辨析题。作者第一次“感觉到”希望的闪现, 不管怎样, 事情总会好起来的。【小题19】选C。逻辑推理题。根据上文叙述的Mr. Rader帮助作者推销杂志以及给作者买鞋等可知他是一个非常善良的人。【小题20】选D。习语搭配题。世界上有了像Mr. Rader这样的人, 就有了希望、善良和关爱, 世界也会因此而不同。make a difference表示“有影响, 起作用”。前三项分别表示“交易”、“财富”、“选择”, 显然有悖文意。
