1.B2.A3.D4.C5.B
文章大意:作者在本文中通过讲述“随心随意求美，无来无由行善”这句话的由来，告诉我们要多行善，让善良的行为传播。1.推理题。根据文章第二段“Practicerandomkindnessandsenselessactsofbeauty.”Thephraseimpressedhersomuchthatshecopieditdown可知这句话“随心随意求美，无来无由行善”给她留下了深刻的印象。所以她要多行善。她才会为后面的6辆车缴费，也算是一种行善吧！故B正确。2.细节题。根据第三段的二句Whenitstayedonhermindfordaysshegaveupanddroveallthewaybacktocopyitdown.“Ithoughtitwasbeautiful”可知她走了几天以后，还开车回去把这句话记了下来是因为：她认为这句话很美。故A正确。3.细节题。根据文章第四段第二句ItwasinarestaurantthatAnnewrotethephrasedownonapieceofpaperafterturningitaroundinhermindfordays.可知这句话在Ann的脑海里好几天了，所以她就把她下了下来。说明这句话是AnneHerbert.想出来的。故D正确。4.推理题。根据本句“Kindnesscanbuildonitselfasmuchasviolencecan.”本句是一个省略句：Kindnesscanbuildonitselfasmuchasviolencecanbuildonitself。再根据最后一段第一句Theactsofrandomkindnessspread.可知善良和暴力都是可以传播的。所以C项符合上下文，也就是号召我们要多做善事，让善良的行为传播得更远。5.推理题。根据最后一段12行Theactsofrandomkindnessspread.Ifyouwereoneofthosedriverswhofoundyourfarepaidwhoknowswhatyoumighthavebeeninspiredtodoforsomeoneelselater.可知善良是可以传播的。如果作为司机的你发现有人帮你付了费用，你也要想着为别人做一些好事情。让善良的行为得以传播。故B正确。
