【解析】

试题分析：本文讲述了一个简短的故事：一个热心的男人主动帮助一个无法搞定包裹的女性，一番努力以后才发现原来女性是想把包裹装进汽车，而男人以为对方想把包裹拿下车。原来是一个彻底的误会。

1.1】A 形容词辨析。A乐于助人的；有帮助的；B细心的；C有用的；D有希望的；根据下句Let me give you a hand with that package可知他看见这个女的很费力地和包裹较劲，所以他很热心的提供帮助，说明他是一个乐意助人的人。故A正确。

2.C 形容词辨析。A大；B小；C重；D轻；她无法把包裹放进车里，是因为这个包裹太重了，她弄不动。

3.B 名词辨析。A问题；B麻烦，困扰；C疼痛，痛苦；D担心；have some trouble with sth做某事有困难；本句是指她很难把这个包裹放进车里，好像包裹被卡住了。

4.D 上下文串联。根据第一段最后一句It was half in and half out of her car可知她是想把包裹放进车子。所以这个男的提出他到车子里面去抓住包裹的另外一端。

5.A 形容词辨析。A明智的，合乎情理的；B有趣的；C可能；D令人感动的；这个女人认为这个男的提出的方法很好，sensiblle明智的，是对他这种做法的评价。

6.C 名词辨析。A汽车；B盒子；C位置；D椅子；他进入车子的后座抓住了包裹的另外一端。因为上一句他提出进入汽车，所以本句指他到汽车的后座上了。

7.B 名词辨析。A权利，电力；B力气，优点；C手；D胳膊；他准备好了，要用全身的力气来推这个包裹。

8.D 固定搭配。Out of breath上气不接下气；根据10空后get their breath back.可知他们用尽全力也没有把包裹弄好，而且自己还上气不接下气，搞得很累。

9.A 上下文串联。根据第三空后I think it's stuck."可知这个女人认为包裹被卡住了，现在两个人都没有搞定，这个男人也认为包裹被卡住了。

10.10】C 名词辨析。A时期，时代；B小时；C一会，一刻；D天；因为之前用尽全身之力也没用搞定，所以他们休息了一会。不会是ABD，时间都太长了。只会是moment合理。

11.11】B 形容词辨析。A令人满意的； B准备好了；C好的；D正确的；右边的；男人说：让我们再试一次，你准备好了吗？这是两人准备再次努力之前所说的话。

12.12】A 上下文串联。文章一直提出只有这；两个人在处理这个包裹，所以使用both表示两者都；all表示三者或三者以上；each每一个；every是一个形容词。两个人都抓住这个包裹。

13.13】D 动词辨析。A停止；B保持；C暂停；D继续；他们继续努力搞定这个包裹。

14.14】C 形容词辨析。A有趣的；B兴奋的；C疲惫的；D令人惊讶的；最后当他们都筋疲力尽的时候，男人说这个包裹真地被完全地卡住了。

15.15】B 副词辨析。A大部分地；B完全地；C几乎；D伟大地；男人说这个包裹真地被完全地卡住了。没有办法把他弄到车外。实际上女的是想把这个包裹弄进车子。他们的失败是因为他们没有搞清具体情况。
