【解析】本文是一篇議論文。假如你被困在一棟失火的樓房里，此時下面有人透過濃煙向你高喊“跳”！你會跳嗎？你會離開已知的危險而投身于未知的情況嗎？本文作者闡述了自己的觀點(diǎn)。（1）根據(jù)下文“will he let you fall to the ground ___6__ support your weight?” 可知，這個朝你大喊的人應(yīng)該是在下面。（2）因為樓房已經(jīng)著火，所以離開的應(yīng)是已知的危險，選B。（3）此處指是否要往下跳這一問題的答案取決于兩個因素。phenomenon“現(xiàn)象”； problem “問題”； answer“ 答案”； approach “方法”，故選B。（4）其一是與你對那個向你喊的人了解的程度有關(guān)；go with “伴隨，搭配“；make out ”認(rèn)出“； look over”仔細(xì)地查看“； do with”與… 有關(guān)“D項合語境。（5）他可靠嗎？他是讓你摔落在地，還是會接住你呢？reliable”可靠的，可依賴的”； capable“有才能的，有能力的”； strong“強(qiáng)壯的”； clever“聰明的”。故選A。（6）空處前后為選擇關(guān)系，故選C。（7）根據(jù)下文可知，此處表示“人與人之間的關(guān)系也是如此”。relationship“關(guān)系”，符合語境。（8）根據(jù)前文，并結(jié)合下文的“Can they be depended on?”可知，此處表示“我們有多了解那些我們愿意信任的人？”故選B。（9）句意：當(dāng)環(huán)境改變了，他們還會支持你嗎？故選A。（10）根據(jù)下文“certainly, madam. I can give you even ___11__ guarantees.”可知，她在問小販能不能提供保修單。delay“推遲，延誤”；consult“查閱，磋商”；offer“提供”；acquire“獲得”。故選C。（11）根據(jù)“even”可知，小販說他甚至可以提供終身保修，lifetime“終身的”，符合語境。（12）小販說：“我唯一不能保證的是下周一上午這個時間我還在這兒�！备鶕�(jù)語境可知，應(yīng)選can't。（13）所以說，信任的第一部分就是“相信”，courage“勇氣”；dependence“依賴，依存”；strength“力量”；belief“相信，信賴”。D合語境。（14）此處指同等重要的，故選A。equally“相等地，同等地”；absolutely“絕對地”；basically“基本地，主要地”；relatively“相對地”。A合語境。（15）如果你最終還是不愿意跳，那么你有多相信你所信任的人也就無關(guān)緊要了。matter“要緊”，符合語境。（16）參見上題解析。unwilling“不愿意的”，符合語境。（17）根據(jù)下文“but not one you'll want to make for long”可知，留在著火的樓房里不是長期的選擇，因此你可能決定跳下去。故選C。（18）留在著火的樓房里在任何時候都算得上是一種選擇，但它不是長期的選擇。always“總是，一直”合題意。（19）根據(jù)“risky”與“safe and secure”可知，前后為轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，因此選A。（20）句意：雖然從濃煙中跳下去很危險，但你落地)時可能會很安全很平穩(wěn)。D合語境。
