8、析】 作者在餐馆工作时，误把别人的助步器当成托盘架使用，这一错误让作者认识到：做事要更细心，不要过于相信自己。 1. D。由于刚开始在餐馆里当服务员，所以应先与一个有经验的服务员一起工作。 2. C。这里指的是“ 我”跟着有经验的服务员工作几天后，就可以单独招待客人了。be allowed to do sth 意为“被准许做某事”。 3. A。根据下文可知，作者在工作中遇到了一些状况，与之相对，这里是指“在最初的一个星期里我的工作很顺利”。 4. B。上文中说到作者可以单独招待客人了，这里指的是作者分配到的餐桌离厨房较近，故用 given。 5. B。根据空格后面的句子 I still fel
9、t it a little hard to carry the heavy trays 可推知，虽然作者负责的餐桌离厨房较近，但她端着那些沉重的装菜的托盘仍然觉得有点吃力，所以空格前后句之间是转折关系，故用 however。 6. C。因为作者是在餐馆工作，所以这里应该是指“ 餐馆”（restaurant）里坐满了客人。 7. A。根据空格前面的 I moved slowly 以及作者前面提到的她端着托盘有点吃力，可推知这里指的是作者每走一步都很小心，即 mind every step。 8. D。由于托盘架可减轻劳动强度，作者当然感到高兴。 9. B。这里说的是作者看见的托盘架与她平时练习所
10、使用的托盘架不同。即她觉得这个托盘架比通常用的托盘架更好，这从下文可以看出。 10. D。根据空格前面的 It had nice handles 以及空格后面的.to move around 可推知此句话的意思是：因为托盘架装有手柄，所以推起来更容易一些。 11. A。根据上下文语境可知，这里说的是作者使用托盘架很顺手、很满意，并开始觉得自己天生就是当服务员的好手。 12. C。根据下文的 It seems your tray stand has been.可知，这位老人与他的妻子看着作者工作已有一会儿了，故此处用 watch，表示“观看”。 13. A。因为上文提到作者使用这个 “托盘架”很
11、顺手，所以此处老人的意思是：看来这个“托盘架”对你很有用呀！ 14. D。根据后文可知，作者误把老人妻子的助步器当成托盘架使用了。这里是指老人和他妻子用餐完毕，准备离开餐馆，向作者要回助步器。 15. B。参见上面第 14 题的解析。 16. C。根据空格后面的 What was he talking about 可知，作者一开始并没有明白老人话中的意思。 17. D。根据空格前面的 frozen as ice 以及 but 可知，此处要填入一个与 ice 相对的词，再根据语境，作者把老人妻子的助步器当成了托盘架，当她意识到这一点的时候，自然会因尴尬而脸红，故答案选 D。 18. B。根据空格
12、前面的.to get into a hole 可推知，作者当时觉得很尴尬，恨不得有个洞可以躲进去，故答案选 B。 19. D。因本文主要是描述作者在餐馆当服务员时所犯的一个尴尬错误，故答案选 D 。 20. A。根据上下文语境，作者因为大意而误把别人的助步器当成了托盘架，但她也学到了一条经验：做事要更细心，不要过于相信自己。In 1989 an 8.2 earthquake almost flattened America, killing over 30,000 people in less than four minutes. In the middle of complete damag

14、 looked hopeless, but he kept remembering his _6_ to his son. He rushed there and started _7_ the ruins. As he was digging, other helpless parents arrived, _8_: “Its too late! Theyre all dead! _9_, face reality, theres nothing you can do!“ To each parent he responded with _10_: “Are you going to hel

22、里经过思维“认识到，了解”；find 在表面上就能 “发现，看出”。 2. A 这四个选项都是英语成语，根据本段第一句an 8.2 earthquake almost flattened America 判断，选择 A 项。 3. D 从意义上判断， “他想起了他曾对他儿子许下的诺言” ；memorized 是“背诵，熟记”。 4. A 从结构上分析，该句是省略了谓语动词的省略句，省略谓语之后，意义仍然清楚，如不省略动词，则使用第三人称单数 happens。从意义上分析，可排除 C、D 项。 5. A 表示“流泪”，这几个动词都可能表示这种意义，但句式搭配不同，其表现形式分别为 Tears f
23、ill his eyes；Tears come into his eyes；He bursts into tears。 6. B 从上下文意义判断， “他不停地想起他对他儿子许下的诺言”。 7. B 动词和动词短语是完形填空设项的重点之一。此题要分清这四项的不同含义。dig 及物动词， “掘（土） ，挖”；dig through“（为找）在 里挖掘”；dig out “发掘出”dig into“钻研”。 8. D 从结构上分析，应该用现在分词作伴随状语，用 and 则表示并列，用 said。 9. C Come on 表示劝说，不耐烦，意为“得啦！，来！”，可用 Come, Come,代替。
24、10. D 从词义上判断 one line“一句话（台词） ”，A 项中的 one word 干扰性较大，它表示“一个词”，如用 words 是正确的。 11. A “介词+反身代词”有固定含义，for oneself 独自地，亲自；by oneself 单独地；of oneself 自行地，自动地； to oneself 对（着）自己。 12. C 这四个词都有“ 活着的”之意，live 仅用作定语，作表语用 living ，alive 。living和 alive 在意义上有细微差别，living 可作定语和表语，含有 “本以为死了，然而还活着”，又如：I cant believe my
25、first teacher is still living。alive 作表语和后置定语，其含义与 dead相对应。lively“生动的，活跃的”。 13. D “在第 38 小时的时候，”，序数词之前要用定冠词。 14. B 注意这四个词的区别：sound “ （各种）声音”；voice “（人们说话的）嗓音”noise“（不悦耳的）嘈音” ； tone“（人们说话的）语气，语调”。 15. B 这是表将来的虚拟语气，主句中用 would +动词原形，从下文的句子中也能找到类似的句子。 16. A 从意义上判断， “如果你来救我，他们也会得救。 ”是条件状语从句，应该用 if 引导，然而选项
26、中没有 if，when 与 if 同义，引导条件状语从句。 even if 引导让步状语从句。17. C 此题包含一个固定句型：There are left. “还有剩余下来 ”。 18. C 14 out of 33 意为：33 人中有 14 人活下来。out of “从 里面”。特别注意此题中的介词与前面的 left 没有任何联系。如果没有意识到这点，极可能会选错。 19. D 从意义上判断， “房屋倒塌时，自然形成的三角空隙 ”。而 make room; make space意为“（有意识地）为腾出空间”。 20. A 从上下文意义判断，此句为原因状语从句。My ears are rec
27、ently full of joyous remarks from my friends such as, “oh, Beckham is so handsome, so cool, that I cant help falling in love with him!” Or “what perfect skills he has!” Yeah, I agree 1 some degree, though I sometimes do want to ask them how much they 2 Beckham, apart from his appearance and how much

35、一篇具有一定哲理和教育意义的、夹叙夹议的议论文。文章通过讲述“盲目追星”这一事例，阐明了“看问题不要只看表面，而要Go Deep 注重内含”这一论点。解题指导： 1.A 介词的固定搭配， “在某种程度上”。 2.D know about “了解” 从下文中也能找到相同的短语。 3.D apart from “除外，还有”，具有“附加性质” 。其他选项具有“排他性质” 。从上文中也能找到相同的短语。 4.C 此题为“介词 +关系代词”引导定语从句，about 与 be uncertain 搭配。 5.B 从上文中的 we all 判断， “不仅仅是我，还有我的朋友”。 6.A 从结构上判断，此句
36、含有宾语和宾补结构，宾语为 this，后用单数。从下文的意义上判断，为“生活中的乐趣之一”。 7.C 否定句中用 or 连接。 “不要达到疯狂和胡闹的程度”。 8.D “正如俗语所说的”，此四个选项都有“说”之意，然而它们都有自己的搭配，A. speaks“说语言，演讲”；B. talks “交谈” ；C. tells“告诉” ；如用 says 是正确的，此题中的goes 与 says 同义。 9.B judgeby或 judge from“根据判断”，从上句中能找到相同的意义。 10.A “是一个人好的品德和贡献才得以成为明星”。make 之后接复合宾语。 11.D 从上下文意义上判断， “
37、在外貌上要少说”。 12.C 从句子结构上分析，用现在分词形式作伴随状语。 13.A 从句子结构上分析，此处为定语从句， that 代替先行词 things，所以谓语用复数形式，关系代词在从句中作主语，that 不能省略。 14.B 此句的句子结构较复杂，主语是前面的 the things ，此题要填谓语动词，由于主语和谓语之间有一个定语从句，造成了句子的复杂性。意义为“有明确的意义”。 15.D 从意义上判断， “如果我们不注重内含，满足表面的东西，迟早会发现我们将一无所获”。 16.C 从句子的连接上分析有“ 因果”关系。 17.C 从意义上判断， “除非我们意识到这点并做某些改变，否则的
38、话” 。 18.B 从意义上判断， “更注重内含是一个人进步（成熟）的象征”。 19.B pains 在此为及物动词，意为 “费（苦）心”，这种意义与上下文是相通的。 20.D 根据句子结构判断，应该用系动词。We convince ourselves that life will be better once we are married, have a baby, then another.
