1．C 根据上下文内容及逻辑可知，David低着头，以一个奇怪的角度来看事物，所以用angle。at a„angle表示“以„„角度”。ankle意为“踝关节”；direction意为“方向”；attitude意为“态度”，均不符合语境。
2．C 根据上文可知，David是个盲人，以及Then the world went„可以推测，David记得他看到的最后一件事情就是他女儿的出生。
3．A David后来眼睛瞎了，所以对他来说世界就变成一片空白。 4．C David的父亲无力抚养他，所以把他交给国家抚养。give up„to„ 表示“把„„交给„„”。
5．A 由上下文内容可知，David的境况一直不好。所以用from bad to worse表示“每况愈下”。
6．B David的导盲犬把他从卡车的车道上拉出来。
7．C 句意：David得救了，他的导盲犬却死了。kill表示“死亡”；sacrifice表示“牺牲”；injure表示“受伤”时，为及物动词，应用被动语态。
8．B overcome obstacles表示“克服障碍”。
9．B 由下文的内容可知，David在医院急诊室的放射科工作。 10．D 由本段中David和灯塔机构所做的努力可知这份工作来之不易，故应选come by，表示“设法得到”。
11．A 灯塔机构的目的是帮助盲人。be intended to do sth.表示“为„„打算(设计)的”。
12．A 句意：不光是他，包括视力正常的人，每个做这个工作的人都必须在黑暗中工作。故应用everyone表示“每个人”。
13．C 见上题解析。normal eyesight表示“视力正常”。
14．D 句意：即使灯塔机构为David付头三个月的工资，许多医院也不愿接受他。even though意为“尽管，即使”。

16．C 句意：他不能戴手套，否则他就不能感知(事物)了。otherwise意为“否则”。
17．A 根据语境可能此处应选at risk“处于危险中”，与out of danger“脱离危险”相对应。
18．B 根据空后他说的话可知，他的动机超越了(挣)钱。
19．C 通过工作，David可以实现他自身的价值。actualize one’s own value表示“实现自身的价值”。

4．B 句意：他来自费城，错过了(missed)转接班机。
5．D 句意：我给他指了指地上交通区域。在那里，他可以租一辆车(car)。由第三段第一句中there were no cars提示可知D正确。
