语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者所爱的人另觅新欢，她非常痛苦，有一次在等公共汽车时，她遇到了一位和她经历相似的女士，这位女士讲述了自己的生活经历，并鼓励作者快乐地生活下去。1．选C 根据“at a deserted bus stop ”和“catch the bus”可知，小个子的女士在等公共汽车。故选C。
2．选D 根据最后一段倒数第二句“Dont go to the terminal because there’s nothing to see.”可知，当这位小个子女士问作者要去哪里时，作者回答说不知道，她只想看看终点是什么样。故选D。
3．选A 根据第四段第二句“She seemed to well understand my pain.”及全文可以看出，作者所爱的人另觅新欢，她感到非常痛苦，因此选择lost表示“你知道我失去了一切”，符合语境。故选A。
4．选B 由下文这位女士讲述了她被丈夫抛弃，自己和孩子坚强地活下来的经历，并以此来鼓励作者的描写可推知，作者遇到了类似的事情。因此，get married符合句意“经过了四年的起起伏伏之后，我们打算结婚”。故选B。
5．选C 由上文可知，作者和男友本来就要结婚了，然后有一天他来找作者，什么也没说，只是给作者看了看他手指上的戒指。这表明要和作者结婚的人已经和别的女人订婚或结婚了。根据“on his finger”可知，应选C。
6．选A 根据单词“sympathy”和下一句“She seemed to well understand my pain.”可知，这位女士听了作者的痛苦经历后，表示同情和理解，但是两人是陌生人，故可排除D项；B、C两项不符合语境；A项表示“这位女士同情地叹了口气”，符合语境。故选A。
7．选B 根据下文这位女士讲述了自己的痛苦经历可知，她问作者现在想不想听她的故事。故选B。
8．选A 根据“nodded my head”可知，作者愿意听这位女士讲述她的故事，但是此时作者非常失落，因此“面无表情地看了她一眼”。故选A。
9．选D leave sb. behind是固定搭配，意为“留下，丢弃”，此处表示“我们一到美国，他就怀着交好运的愿望抛弃了我们”，与下句“Yet how could I ________ my three children in a strange land, with no money, no relatives and a ________ heart？”相照应。故选D。
10．选B 根据上文“他怀着交好运的愿望抛弃了我们”可知，那位女士的前夫离开她和孩子们去寻找自己的幸福。故选B。
11．选A 根据句中信息“in a strange land, with no money, no relatives and”可知，对于她的三个孩子，这位女士需要做的不仅仅是照料他们，还要让他们有房子住，有食物吃，要抚养他们长大，因此只有shelter能准确、完全地表达这一含义。故选A。
12．选C 这位女士被丈夫无情地抛弃，还带着三个无辜的孩子，她的心当然是破碎的。故选C。
13．选B 由上文可知，这位女士带着孩子们来到海滩，也就是说她想和孩子们一起结束生命，在这种情况下，孩子们应该会害怕，会疯狂地大哭。故选B项。
14．选D 根据语境可知，孩子们在海滩上吓得嚎啕大哭，他们的绝望突然使这位女士从噩梦中醒来，这时她想到的应是“我是多么地自私啊！”，指她完全沉浸在自己的痛苦之中，而没有尽到一个做母亲的责任。故选D。
