【解析】

本文大意：珍妮是一名作家，她喜欢写短篇小说，但她经常认为好故事不够多。有一天，珍妮在路上偶然帮助了一名老人，得知了老人的故事，也知道自己应该写什么内容了。

1.句意：一天，在她去办公室的路上，她看到一个老人躺在地上。

in在……中；on在……之上；by通过；at在……。分析句子可知，此处构成“on one’s way to sp”短语，翻译为“在去……的路上”。故选B。

2.句意：珍妮是一个善良的女人，她经常帮助穷人。

sad悲伤的；kind善良的；weak虚弱的；healthy健康的。根据“she often helps the poor people”可知，她经常帮助别人，所以她是个善良的人。故选B。

3.句意：她走到老人身边，扶他站起来。

come来；run跑；stand站立；get得到。根据“she sees an old man lying(躺)on the ground”可知，她看到老人躺在地上，所以此处应表示“站起来”的含义，构成“stand up”短语。故选C。

4.句意：老人很快地把食物吃完，非常感谢她。

thanks感谢；enjoys欣赏；likes喜欢；welcomes欢迎。根据“Then she goes to buy some milk and bread for him.”可知，女孩帮助了老人，所以老人感谢她。故选A。

5.句意：“我没有房子，女士，”老人回答说。

farm农场；trees树；clothes衣服；house房子。根据“I have to sleep outside at night.”可知，他没有房子，所以不得不睡在外面。故选D。

6.句意：您多大年纪了？

How如何，怎样；What什么；How old多大年纪；Where哪里。根据答语“Ninety-two.”可知，此处是在询问年龄。故选C。

7.句意：珍妮感到很抱歉，继续问。

excited兴奋的；sorry抱歉的；angry生气的；happy开心的。分析文意可知，珍妮对老人的遭遇很同情，感到很抱歉。故选B。

8.句意：为什么不住在老人院呢？

living现在分词；to live动词不定式；lives动词三单；live动词原形。分析句子可知，此处用于“Why not do sth”句型中，所以用其动词原形形式。故选D。

9.句意：“因为我有一个儿子，”老人回答说。

So所以，表结果；Because因为，表原因；But但是，表转折；And和，表并列。根据前文“Why not ____8____ in the old people’s house?”可知，此处在询问原因，所以此处解释原因。故选B。

10.句意：他没有孩子，所以他不得不住在老人院中。

no没有；many许多；two两个；some一些。根据“They’ve never admitted (准许进入) a person who has children.”可知，没有孩子的人才可以进老人院，老人的儿子住在老人院，所以老人的儿子没有孩子。故选A。
