解析:

內容概要：本文講述了Kate去商店買米時，無意中發現兩個穿著長大衣的小孩在商店里偷東西，最后她決定制止他們的行為。

【小題1】空格后的部分是地點狀語從句。

【小題2】超市里架子上放的自然是“貨物”了。

【小題3】從下文得知，他們準備偷東西，所以穿“長”大衣來做掩護。四個選項中只有long 與后面提到的too big 有點關系。

【小題4】大衣長而大，穿在小孩子身上自然就覺得古怪。young, nervous, excited與strange之間沒有邏輯上的因果關系。

【小題5】畢竟是做賊的，所以提醒另一人要“當心”。

【小題6】共兩個小孩，故另一個用the other。

【小題7】開頭已暗示Kate是來買米的。

【小題8】it指前面聽到的聲音，這種聲音“聽起來”像……。

【小題9】貨物之間有空隙，Kate正好可以看過去。

【小題10】按理小孩應把選中的東西放進購物籃中，但他們沒有，故用instead of。

【小題11】it 指前面已提到過的box。

【小題12】could表示可能性。

【小題13】第9空前的動作再次重復了一遍。

【小題14】這時放入袋中的顯然不是前面提到過的box，而是“其他”什么東西。

【小題15】她看著他們，說明他們就在她面前。

【小題16】購物籃中的物品兩個小孩是準備付款的。

【小題17】付款的東西自然是放在購物籃中的。

【小題18】大衣的鈕子鈕得整整齊齊，因為里面藏有東西，此處button是動詞。

【小題19】由even所表示的語氣可以推知。

【小題20】根據行文邏輯不難選定。
