Not discouraged easily, I remembered40a lamp by the bed when I deposited my luggage 41in the day．I found the bed in the 42and then the lamp, but when I switched it on ,nothing 43 ! I thought that perhaps if I opened the curtains I might be able to use whatever light comes in from the 44to find another lamp．So I 45my way slowly across the room to the curtains and …no drawstring!

That evening I discovered in a whole new way just how dark the world 48be and how-necessary light is!

答案：
(答案→)C
解析：文章讲述的是作者通过在黑暗中摸索灯的经历，想到了人生中光的重要性。
【小题1】上下文，根据前一句的The overhead light out- side my door was burned out可知，我门边的上面的灯坏掉了，所以我找不到钥匙孔。Have difficulty in doing sth意为干某事有困难
【小题2】上下文，根据后文可知，作者打开门后，在墙上摸索着找开光，manage to do 意为成功干某事
【小题3】同上，feel意为摸索 touch意为触摸 sense感觉 look是看起来
【小题4】句意理解，我找到了一个金属板，开关曾经就安装在这里面，但是现在没有开关。
【小题5】句意理解，我没有轻易就气馁，我记得曾经在床边放了一个台灯，spot意为放置
【小题6】句意理解，在今天的早些时候，意为之前的时候，早上的时候
【小题7】上下文，作者此时还没有找到开关，正在找台灯，也还没有找到，因此是在黑暗中
【小题8】句意理解，但是当我找到台灯，打开的时候，什么都没有发生，意为等没有亮
【小题9】上下文，根据上文的if I opened the curtains I might be able to use whatever light comes in 可知，作者想拉开窗帘，用街道上的路灯来照亮，A即来自马路上的灯光
【小题10】词组make ones way 意为前往，往哪里走，此处句意为，我缓慢地穿过房间，朝窗帘那走去
【小题11】句意理解，我一直跌跌撞撞地，直到找到台灯，这个台灯终于有用了，打开了
【小题12】同上
【小题13】情态动词，句意为，那个晚上我以一种全新的方式发现了这个世界可能会变的多么黑暗（如果没有灯的话）证明了灯光是多么必需的啊
【小题14】上下文，根据第二空的light that shines from people可知此处指的是现实世界中的灯光，
【小题15】上下文，根据后面的 Whatever light you 53may be a beacon of hope and encouragement可知，此处的灯光指的是对别人的帮助，对别人的关爱。
【小题16】根据and可知，该处指的是跟dark一样的消极方面的词汇，即世界是一个黑暗和孤独的地方
【小题17】上下文，根据后面的So let your light shine可知，他们需要光，因此要So let your light shine
【小题18】动词offer意为提供 此处意为向别人提供帮助，其他选项不符合题意
【小题19】句意理解，如果你认为你的光仅仅是森林里的一根蜡烛，记住没有足够多的黑暗可以让一根蜡烛的光熄灭
【小题20】put out意为扑灭，此处指的是扑灭蜡烛的光，get over克服 give out发出 set up建立
