Boudreaux在最近的凯德市场之旅中并没有那么幸运。与上文“lucky”相呼应,这里应是同义词表达“fortunate”,用在句中表达“Jason
Boudreaux遭遇了尴尬,并没有那么幸运”。故选C项。2.C

on
his
detective
hat
and
spend
time

right

is/was
one’s
turn(to
do)”,固定句型,意为“轮到某人做某事”。6.D

with(与某人交谈)”相呼应,这里应是“chatting”。7.B
根据下文“on
a
social
networking
website”可知,他将自己和这位男士的照片发布到了社交网站。8.A
结合常识可知,“the
touching
words(感人的文字)”这些文字是与照片一起发布出来的。“accompanied
by”意为“连同,配上”。ⅠⅡⅢ9.C
下文“No
problem.I
got
you.”是这位男士当时的回答。故选C项。10.B
根据上文“the
man
he
talked
with
paid
for
him”可知,这位男士主动帮助了Jason,Jason为他的善良而感到激动。11.D
