【解析】

试题分析：本文讲述的一个很有诚信的擦皮鞋的小男孩，在被躲雨的人冲散以后仍然等到半夜归还我的皮鞋，而且把皮鞋保护得很好。

1.C短语辨析。A穿上（表示动作）B穿着（宾语是人）C穿着（表示状态）D穿坏了。句意：我穿着一双刚买的皮靴。表示我进入咖啡店的时候的状态。故A正确。

2.A 上下文串联。根据下文He looked about eleven or twelve.可知他是一个擦皮鞋的小男孩。

3.D 语法分析。动词look与句子主语he之间构成主动关系，故使用现在分词looking做状语。

4.A 语法分析。No sooner…than…一…就…；其中的no是否定句放在句首要使用部分倒装的形式。而且根据句意我一开始说话他就给我擦皮鞋，前面使用过去完成时的时态。

5.B 语法分析。Take off脱掉。本句的三个动作是并列的，都应该使用一般过去时的时态。

6.B 固定搭配。Pour down倾倒。指大雨倾盆而下。

7.C 上下文串联。根据上文heavy rain可知下雨了，人们都到咖啡店里躲雨了。

8.A 动词辨析。A分开B联系C参加D分开（分成几部分）；这里是指人很多，把我们分开了。

9.C 考察语法。在英语中只有it可以指代天气，时间等。这里的It就是指天，天黑了。

10.B 上下文串联。我和他被人群分开了，我想知道他会在那里。

11.D 动词辨析。A擦亮B清洁C转身D归还；我以为他不会再归还我的鞋子了。

12.C 上下文串联。我的鞋子在他那里，我只能赤脚走回家了，故C正确。

13.C 动词辨析。A/B开始C结束D来；到了半夜的时候，大雨停止了，咖啡店也要关门了。

14.B 语法分析。本句的be to do sth表示的将来时，而且表示的是被动语态的形式。

15.A 介词辨析。Lean against依靠着….他的头靠着盒子他睡着了。

16.B 动词辨析。A覆盖B摇晃C/D抓住;我轻轻地摇他，把他唤醒。

17.C 词义辨析。A感谢B理解C认出D经过；因为他睡着了，在认出我之前他在揉眼睛。

18.D 名词辨析。A钱包B手臂C鞋子D包裹；根据下文可知他用衬衫把我的鞋子包着。

19.C 考察时态。他用衬衫包裹我的皮鞋这件事情发生在这之前，故使用过去完成时。

20.C 固定搭配。On one’s way home在回家的路上。其中的home是副词，要单独使用。
