23、据上文晩上头顶的灯坏了可知， “我” 找钥匙孔有“ 困难”，故选 D 项。2A 根据下文可知， “我” 已经把门打开。manage to do sth 意为“ 成功地做某事”。3B 根据上下文意可知，由于晩上没有灯， “我”只好“摸索” 前进，只有 felt 表此意。4D 根据 but no switch 可以推知， “我” 认为那里“曾经”安装了开关，因此在那里摸索，结果并没有。只有 once 能表示此意。5C 上文提到这是一个旅馆，自己是暂时住到这里，排除了 A 项。从下文“when I deposited my luggage”可推知 C 项正确。spot 此处意为“注意到，看到，发现”
24、。6B 根据上文 remembered 可知， “我”在那天早些时候发现有开关，现在仍然记得，故选 B 项。 7B 因为是晩上，所以选择 dark。8A 根据文意排除了 C、D。句子的主语是 nothing 而非 lamp，故排除operated。happen 意为“发生”，符合句意。9B 根据语境和下文 curtains 可推知， “我”现在处在黑暗中，只能拉开窗帘，靠外部“街道 ”上的光来找到另一盏灯，故选 B 项。10C 根据文意和下文 slowly across the room 可知， “我”现在摸索着去拉窗帘。make ones way 意为“ 前往，到去” ，符合文意。11B 根
25、据文意和下文 actually 可知， “我”最终找到了灯，故选 B 项。after在以后；until 直到；while 然而；since 自从。12C 根据主语 a desk lamp 和副词 actually 可知，这盏灯亮了。此处 work 意为“奏效，成功 ”。13A 根据文意， “我” 此时心有所感，世界有时是多么黑暗，而灯是如此必要！can 可以表示“有时会，时而可能”。故选 A 项。14D 根据下文 the light that shines from people 可知，人们内心的灯光比实际的灯光更有必要。physical 意为“ 物质的，有形的”。 15B 我们心中拥有了“爱
26、和信任”之灯，才能战胜挫折、悲伤和害怕。故选love。16A 根据文意和 dark 可知，有时我们中许多人会处在黑暗和孤独的世界，故选 lonely。17D 当人们失望、难过和害怕时会需要帮助，故选 D 项。in need of 是固定用法，意为“ 需要” 。18B 根据上文“So let your light shine.”可知，作者在鼓励我们要主动去帮助别人，故选 B 项。19C 我们的爱心之灯在茫茫的黑暗中是如此渺小，好像是森林中的一支蜡烛。故选 C 项。not more than 至多；other than 除了；no more than 只不过；rather than 与其，倒不如。20A 黑暗再强大，也没有足够的力量扑灭小如蜡烛的 “爱心之灯”，故选 A项。put out 扑灭；give out 分发；get over 克服；set up 建立。
