【答案与解析】

1. B。such a …that 是一固定搭配，that引导一程度状语从句。

2. B。从后面的out of gas on a lonely road可以判断用stopped。

3. A。一直要走到找到汽油为止，故用until来引导这个时间状语。

4. B。找到卖汽油的人所以用sell。

5. A。时间状语从句，在我发现一间房子之前。

6. B。这跟前句没有原因、让步、和条件的关系，应该是并列关系。

7. B。a little old lady of long white hair 指长满长长的白发的女人。

8. D。可语境可知，此处指“我已经等你很久了”。

9. C。根据下文的 “Oh, Alfred! Gas? You used to like tea.” 可推知。

10. A。come for some gas 表示“来买点汽油”。

11. B。宾语从句，引导词what在从句中作about的宾语，what she was talking about 指“她正在说什么”。

12. A。这里是表示转折，我解释我要汽油，但她好像没听到似的。

13. B。从上下文可以看出她是在不停地叫我Alfred。

14. B。宾语从句，只要注意时态的一致，还有语序的正确。

15. B。be anxious to leave 急着要走。即不是说什么，也不是呆在那儿。

16. B。在进退两难时他又发现了另一座房子，所以说是很幸运。

17. C。说的关于前面所经历的事情，所以选experience。

18. C。live by oneself 独自生活，没有人陪伴。

19. A。否定句用anyone。

20. C。再也没有回来，否则现在就不会一人独居了，故never是惟一答案。
