【解析】

试题分析：这是一篇叙述作者一段特殊经历的故事。主要介绍了作者在寻求帮助，向别人求助液化气汽，遇到了一位奇怪的老太太。这位老太太在战争中结婚那一天丈夫跑了，老人为此等丈夫回来，总是错认别人为她的丈夫。 老太太执着的爱让人感动。

1.选B 上下文串联。根据下文可知是一件奇怪的事情发生了。A幸福的；B奇怪的；C常见的；D糟糕的，坏的。故选B。

2.选D 动介词搭配。根据空前的happen判断，某人发生了什么事应该说：sth happened to sb，故选D。

3.选D 状语从句。前面有such，空后表示是主句的结果，such…that…如此……以致于……。故选D。

4.选A 名词辨析。本句话意为“我的小汽车停下了”。根据前文的drove判断，drive one’s car开小汽车。故选A。

5.选B 上下文串联。由下文“far from a town”可知选lonely。A狭窄的；B荒凉的；C拥挤的；D繁忙的。故选B。

6.选C 定语从句。someone后是定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词是表示人的不定代词，故用who引导。

7.选A 上下文串联。A，才，未来得及，在……之前；B在……之后；C在……期间；D正如，由于。句意：我走了几公里才最后发现一栋房子。故选A。

8.选D 上下文串联。根据上下文应该是“马路附近”。A、B、C都不符合题意，故选D。

9.选B 上下文串联。根据前文的knock，应是回应。A来了；B回应，回答；C开开；D出现。故选B。

10.选D 动词辨析和上下文串联。A问；B看；C叫，打电话；D等待。根据空后的for a long time判断选D。

11.选C 上下文串联。A汽油；B咖啡；C茶；D午饭。根据下文的tea判断选C。

12.选B 动词辨析和上下文串联。A考虑；B理解；C接受；D认为。根据上文作者是来讨汽油的，所以没有理解来太太说的话。故选B。

13.选C 上下文串联。这位太太为Alfred准备的茶，因为她知道Alfred过去喜欢茶。老太太已经把作者误认为成了Alfred。故选C。

14.选B 动词辨析和上下文串联。A回答；B解释；C拒绝；D答应，许诺。这时的作者已经知道老太太认错人了，所以解释，其他三项不合题意。故选B。

15.选A 名词辨析和上下文串联。根据前文应该是作者解释自己的汽车没有液化汽了，前文已经出现gas，由此判断选A。

16.选A 非谓语动词。keep doing sth不断地做某事。老太太不听作者的解释，仍然在不停地叫作者Alfred。也可根据下文的talking判断。故选A。

17.选C 状语从句。A直到……才；B在……之前；C自从；D当……时候。此处是“自从她上次见到我是多长时间了。”故选C。

18.选A 情态动词辨析和上下文串联。as fast as one could尽可能快地，语境是过去时，故用could。作者趁老太太取茶时尽可能快地逃脱了。故选A。

19.选C 名词辨析和上下文串联。A事故；B小事，事变；C经验，经历；D吃惊。此处应该是作者告诉他自己的经历。故选C。

20.选C 动词辨析。由句意“她不伤害任何人”可知，选hurt。A碰；B伤害，名词；C伤害；D害怕。故选C。
