Struck B．Inspired C．Shocked D．Invited 解析：考查动词短语。结合文意可知受到Kralik经历的激励(inspired)，“我”自己也决定试一试这个主意。Strike “击打，攻击”，shock“使……震惊”，invite“邀请”，均不符合文意，故正确答案为B。‎ 答案：B ‎14．A. idea B．belief C．letter D．test 解析：考查名词。根据上题解析可知选A。belief“信任，信念”，letter“书信”，test意为“测试”，均不符合文意。‎ 答案：A ‎15．A. nearly B．frequently C．already D．never 解析：考查副词。结合上文可知作者自己也决定开始尝试向别人写感谢信这种方法。所以推断这里意为“他选择了一个以前从没(never)感谢过的人”。nearly“几乎，差不多”，frequently“频繁地”，already“已经”，均不符合文意，故正确答案为D。‎ 答案：D ‎16．A. remember B．recognise C．locate D．reward 解析：考查动词。结合后半句句意“但是‘我’最终还是发现了他的住址”，推 断出这里是“我”不知道“我”是否能找到他。locate这里意为“定位，查找……的地点”，符合文意。remember“记住”，recognize“认出；识别”，reward“奖励”，不符合文意，故正确答案为C。‎ 答案：C ‎17．A. degree B．money C．gift D．guidance 解析：考查名词。句意：在信中，“我”对于老师在前些年给“我”的指导(guidance)和支持表示了感谢。这里的guidance是对于教师这个职业来说，给予学生的指导，degree“程度”，money“金钱”，gift“礼物”，均不符合文意，故正确答案为D。‎ 答案：D ‎18．A.in advance B．in public C．in return D．in person 解析：考查介词短语。句意：作为回报(in return)，“我”可能永远不会收到他的回信。这里的hear from(收到……的回信)也提示此处要表达的是“反过来”的意思，意为从收信人那边得到反馈。in advance“提前，预先”，in public“公开地，当众”，in person“亲自，亲身”，均不符合文意，故正确答案为C。‎ 答案：C ‎19．A. case B．point C．fact D．solution 解析：考查名词。句意：“我”可能永远不会收到老师的回信，但是那并不是重点(point)。point在这里意为“要点，重点”。case“案例，情况”，fact“事实”，solution“解决方法”，均不符合文意，故正确答案为B。‎ 答案：B ‎20．A. appreciate B．understand C．face D．review 解析：考查动词。结合后半句句意“‘我’现在已经高兴了好几个月了”，推断出前面意为“这封信使我对生活充满感激(appreciate)”。understand“理解，明白”，face“面对”，review“复习”，均不符合文意，故正确答案为A。‎ 答案：A ‎【八】‎ About 10 years ago I was having my annual party and my niece came to see me.
