【文章大意】这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。作者通过自己晩上在黑暗中找灯这件小事，想到世上人人都可能处于“黑暗”之中，如果我们都能用自己的“爱心”之灯去温暖他人，世界将变得更加美好。
1．D　根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。
2．A　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”。
3．B　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。
4．D　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。
5．C　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”。
6．B　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。
7．B　因为是晩上，所以选择dark。
8．A　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。
9．B　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。
10．C　根据文意和下文slowly across the room可知，“我”现在摸索着去拉窗帘。make one's way意为“前往，到……去”，符合文意。
11．B　根据文意和下文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。
12．C　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”。
13．A　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。
14．D　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”。
15．B　我们心中拥有了“爱和信任”之灯，才能战胜挫折、悲伤和害怕。故选love。
16．A　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。
17．D　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”。
18．B　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。
19．C　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。
20．A　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。
