It was Gordon”可知，Gordon为了打消“我”的疑虑，承诺帮“我”叫到便车。offer to do sth.“主动提出做某事”。9C由上文的“. come back to his house for lunch”可知，“我”是去Gordon的“家里(house)”。10A由下文的“the man who . flagged down a car all those years ago. It was Gordon”可知，Gordon挥手拦截的是“小汽车(car)”。11C由本句的”my husband didnt believe in .”和“as I could never offer them the lift”可知，本段意思与上文有转折关系。故选用However。12C从上文“我”搭别人便车的故事来看，搭便车的一般是“陌生人(strangers)”。13A因为“我”曾经被别人帮助过，因此当丈夫不让“我”在路边捎陌生人时，“我”对不能帮助别人而感到“难过(upset)”。14C在路边等候的人们是“希望(hoped)”能够搭上便车，正如十八岁时的“我”经历的一样。15D由下文的“. the favour Id been given decades earlier”和“I pulled over”可知，“我”“开(driving)”着车。16C由“As I was now a widow, I saw my chance .”可知，如今，“我”有机会“回报(repay)”几十年前受到的恩情。17B“我”把车开到路边，“接上(picked up)”在路边要搭便车的老人和孩子。18A根据老人说“我”的头发还是红色可知，对于老人来说“我”多年未“变(changed)”。19D老人说“我”没变，但“我”却没有“想起(remember)”在哪里见过他。20B由上文的“he made us sandwiches. After lunch .”可知，多年前那个叫Gordon的男人给“我”提供了一顿午餐。.短文改错Jimmy started painting when he was three years old, and when he was five, he has already very good at it. He painted many beautiful and interested pictures, and people paid a lot of money for it. They said, “This boys going to be famous after when hes a little older, and then were going to sell these pictures a lot more money.” Jimmys pictures were different with other peoples because he never painted on all of the paper. He wrote on half of it, and the other half was always empty. “Thats very clever，” everyone said, “Nobody else do that！”One day somebody bought one of Jimmys pictures and then said to him, “Please tell me this, Jimmy. How do you paint on the bottom half of your pictures, but not on the top half？” “Because Im small，” Jimmy said, “and my brushes dont reach that highly.”答案Jimmy started painting when he was three years old, and when he was five, he already very good at it.
