答案与解析

这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。作者通过自己晚上在黑暗中找灯这件小事，想到世上人人都可能处于“黑暗”之中，如果我们都能用自己的“爱心”之灯去温暖他人，世界将变的更加美好。

1．D. 根据上文晚上头顶的灯坏了，可知我找寻钥匙孔有困难，故选D. difficult。

2．A. 根据下文可知，“我”已经把门打开。Manage to do sth. 表成功地做某事。

3．B. 根据文意可知，由于晚上没有灯，“我”只好摸索前进，只有felt表此意。

4．D. 根据“but no switch”可以推知，“我”认为那里曾经安装了开关，因此在那里摸索，结果并没有，只有once能表示此意。

5．C. 上文提到这是一个旅馆，自己是暂时住到这里，排除了A项。从下文一句when I deposited my luggage可推知C项正确，注意spot此处意为“注意到，看到，发现”。

6．B. 从上文remembered可知，“我”在那天早些时候发现有开关，现在仍然记得，故选B。

7．B. 因为是晚上，所以选择dark。

8．A. 根据文意排除了C、D。句子的主语是nothing而非lamp，故动词operated不正确。因此，只有A项正确。

9．B. 根据文意和下文curtains可推知，“我”现在处在黑暗中，只能拉开窗帘，靠外部街道上的光来找到另一盏灯，故选B。

10．C. 根据文意和下文slowly across the room可知，“我”现在摸索着去拉窗帘。Make one"s way意为“前往，到……去”，符合文意。

11．B. 根据文意和下文actually可知，我最终找到了灯，故选until。

12．C. 根据主语a desk lamp和副词actually可知，这盏灯亮了。此意只有work可以表达。

13．A. 根据文意，“我”此时心有所感，世界有时是多么黑暗，而灯是如此必要！can可以表示“有时会……，时而可能”，故选A项。

14．D. 根据文意和下句the light that shines from people可知，人们“内心的灯光”比实际的灯光更有必要。Phsical在此意为“物质的，有形的”。

15．B. 由文意可知，我们心中应该有“爱和信任”之灯，才能战胜discouragement、sadness、fear，故选love。

16．A. 由文意和dark可知，有时我们中许多人会处在黑暗和孤独的世界，故选lonely。

17．D. 由文意可知，当人们失望、难过和害怕时会需要帮助，因此选D项need。

18．B. 由上文So let your light shine.可知，作者在鼓励我们要主动去帮助别人，故选B。

19．C. 细心揣摩文意可知，我们的爱心之灯在茫茫的黑暗中是如此渺小，好象是森林中的一只蜡烛，故选no more than正确。

20．A. 由文意可知，黑暗再强大，也没有足够的力量扑灭小如蜡烛的“爱心之灯”，故选A项put out最佳。
