解析

家庭的不幸、失业的压力和生活的窘迫并没有让“我”丧失道德，“我”将捡到的雨伞归还给了它的主人。最终善有善报，“我”出乎意料地找到了一份销售经理的工作。
小题1:“我”没有雨伞，因为那把旧伞已经“散架”了。break up“(使)破碎”；go away“离开，走开”；fade away“褪色，逐渐消失”，均不符合语境。
答案　C
小题2:由于离婚和失业，“我”买不起另外一把伞。afford表示“买得起；能支付”。
答案　A
小题3:根据下一段的开头“I got off the bus...”可知，“我”在“公共汽车”上坐了下来。
答案　B
小题4:后一句说“I had __15__ seen angthing so lovely.”，由此可知这是一把非常“漂亮的”伞。
答案　B
小题5:这把伞做工讲究，“我”以前“从未”见过如此可爱的东西。
答案　D
小题6:根据第20空后面的“...for the name on the umbrella.”可知，伞柄上刻有一个“名字”。
答案　C
小题7:这是在公共汽车上捡到的别人丢失的东西，正常的程序是把雨伞“上交”给售票员。turn in“上交”。
答案　A
小题8:“我”“想到”一个主意，决定自己带着雨伞找到失主。occur to sb“(主意或想法突然)浮现于某人的脑海中”。
答案　A
小题9:作者在倾盆大雨中下了车，由此可知作者“感激地”打开这把伞遮雨。
答案　D
小题10:作者从电话簿上“查找”雨伞上的那个名字。search“查找，搜寻”。
答案　B
小题11:作者拨通电话后，一位女士“接听”了电话。此处answer表示“接电话”。
答案　C
小题12:女士突然有了雨伞的消息，自然感到非常“惊讶”。后三项分别表示“恐慌”“沉默”“愤怒”，显然不符合语境。
答案　A
小题13:此处add表示“补充说”。assume“假定”；declare“宣布，声明”；announce“宣告，公布”。
答案　B
小题14:这把伞一个月以前就被人“从”门阶前偷走了。
答案　A
小题15:女士如此激动以至于作者当时“忘记”了自己正在寻找工作，径直去了那位女士的家。
答案　B
小题16:女士接过这把雨伞后，眼中满是“泪水”。
答案　C
小题17:根据本句内容可知，女士想给作者钱作为“报酬”。
答案　D
小题18:第四段提到这是女士已经去世的父母送给她的生日礼物，由此可知这是一把非常“特殊的”雨伞。
答案　D
小题19:　作者相信接受了她的钱就会“毁坏”某种东西。
答案　B
小题20:下一句提到也许是“我”的善心有了回报，由此可知作者“出乎意料地”得到了一份销售经理的工作。
答案　D
