In the evening I returned home from school 4 completely defeated. All I wanted to do was 5 into bed and wallow(沉迷于)in my own self-pity. I pulled back the covers on my bed and 6 a pile of cards left by my dad. Each card included a(n) 7 that it was to be opened on a 8 night that week.
I made it through that week 9 my father. Each card 10 to say just what I needed to hear. Tuesday’s card said, “The past is painful to think about and the 11 is impossible to imagine. Don't try. Just take it one minute at a time.” On Wednesday my mood 12 when I read, “What you are feeling now is 13 and normal. It still feels very bad, but it is part of the healing 14 .” Friday’s card contained a poem he wrote. The last lines made me smile through my tears. “Whatever special 15 you face along life’s way, may you 16 that you will find the best in every day.” I was instructed to open the last card 17 the party I went to on Saturday night. In it he wisely reminded me to 18 . “The world isn't so bad after a good laugh. The more you laugh, the more you heal.” Each card was signed, “Love, Dad.”

【答案與解析】 通過一個故事告訴我們，無論是精神世界還是物質世界，一些想法的尋找是簡單的，但是想法的運用卻是另外一回事。
1．A 考查形容詞辨析。由下對這個傳統的描述看，這個傳統很獨特，所以四個詞中只有strange (奇怪的)符合語境。語境為：很久很久以前，有一個小村莊有著一個奇怪的傳統。每到年初，已成年的男孩就會拿到一塊地和資金(自己動手)去修建自己的房屋。hopeful 有希望的；literary 藝的，書本的；cultural化的。
2．C 考查動詞詞義辨析。這里指的是在冬天到前就要完成房屋的修建。所以用complete，意思是：完成。倒數第三段 “By fall, arc had finished his home．”中有同義詞復現：finish。
3.A 考查動詞詞義辨析。 倒數第三段“The first winter storm destroyed his home and he froze to 16 ．The villagers mourned for him．”告訴我們，由于Paul修建的房子不好，被凍死了，人們都哀悼他，但沒有幫助他度過寒冬，由此可以看出，在這一奇怪的傳統中，別人是不能提供幫助的，所以選help。
4．D考查語境話選詞。上一段告訴我們，成年的男孩是在每年的年初(At the beginning of every year)拿到一塊地和資金的，四個選項中只有spring(春天)符合境。
5．B 考查動詞辨析。對應第一段提到的was given，所以這里選receive意思是：收到。exchange 交換；recognize 認出，承認；advise 建議，忠告。
6．C考查語境話選詞。前告訴我們，他們要建的是房子，這是在外出考察，自然是找最好的房子和房主交談以獲得如何建好房子的建議。中有多處同義詞home的復現。
7．D考查名詞詞義辨析。每一位房主都很樂意提供給他們(關于如何建好房子的)建議。所以選advice。可以從“Soon he had so many great ideas that he began to 10 some of them．”中的idea得到啟示。
8．B 考查動詞辨析。arc 參觀了幾棟房子，把房主們提供的建議搜集起，所以選gather。意思是：搜集。9空后的“continued collecting more ideas”有同義詞復現。expect 期待，預料；create 創(chuàng)造；understand理解。
9．C 考查副詞辨析�？疾閯釉~辨析。arc開始建房，而Paul 卻仍在繼續(xù)搜集如何建房的建議，兩者之間是轉折關系，所以用however。
10． A 考查動詞辨析。由于搜集的好的修建房屋的方法太多了，以至于都忘了一部分，所以用forget。 believe 認為，相信；replace代替；doubt懷疑。
11． C 考查連詞辨析。“He had several false starts”和“his home gradually rose from his land”之間是轉折關系，所以用but。
12． D考查動詞辨析。倒數第二段 “Each year, arc searched for other good ideas he could use to make his own home look better．”中的make his own home look better，說的就是他所修的房子可以在建成后隨時改良，所以用improve。repair 修理、修補； rebuild重建；sell賣。
13．A 考查名詞辨析。第二段的“In each village, they found the nicest 31 and talked to the owners．”可知，應該選conversations，意思是：談話、會話。
14．B 考查動詞辨析。冬天了，第一場雪使Paul意識到建房子所剩的時間不多了，所以自己便急匆匆地往回趕，所以選rush，意思是：沖、奔，急匆匆的趕。
15. A 考查形容詞辨析。由后面的“The first winter storm destroyed his home”可以看出，由于動工時間較晚，時間緊，他修的房子不牢固，所以選weak，意思是：不牢固的。Funny滑稽的；small小的；amazing令人吃驚的。
16. B 考查名詞辨析。下一句“The villagers mourned for him”告訴我們，村民們都去哀悼他，由此可知他被凍死了，所以選death。
17. C 考查動詞辨析。這里指的是arc由于修好了房子，順利渡過了冬天，所以用survive，意思是：從困境中挺過。
18. D 考查動詞辨析。raise 養(yǎng)育。句意為：(后)他成了村里的領導，養(yǎng)育了一家人，幸福滿意的生活著。如果把 A 項后加上up，也是正確的。
19. B 考查形容詞辨析。上面的故事告訴我們，建議和想法的尋找是簡單的，而實踐才是困難的，所以選easy。
20. D考查動詞辨析。這里指的是最好的想法的“應用”，所以選apply。

【答案與解析】一個沿街乞討的乞丐遇到了財富女神，財富女神給了乞丐許多金幣，同時告誡乞丐，金幣掉到地上則化為灰塵，貪婪的乞丐不聽勸告，導致金幣撐破錢包化為灰塵，乞丐又變得一無所有。故事告誡人們面對金錢不要貪得無厭。
1.D考查動詞辨析。根據第一段最后一句，為什么那些人如此有錢卻從不滿足，還想得到更多。可知乞丐對此百思不得其解，“keep wondering”(一直想知道)符合句意。
2.B考查形容詞辨析。還想得到的更多，所以不滿足，“Never satisfy”(從不滿足)符合句意。
3.C考查動詞辨析。由常識可知，乞丐最重要的是要解決吃和穿的問題。eat(吃)對應下面提到的“穿”符合情景，learn“學習”，watch“看、觀察”，play“游戲”，均不符合情景。
4.A考查名詞辨析。根據第一段，乞丐在沿街乞討，所以財富女神降落到大街上才能看到乞丐。street(街道)符合意。bridge“橋”，yard“院子”，forest“森林”，均不符合意。
5.C考查動詞辨析。根據下，打開你的錢包，我要給你一些金子，可知財富女神在幫助乞丐。所以選help意為：“幫助”。praise“表揚”，forgive“原諒”， comfort“安慰”，均不符合情景。
6.D考查名詞辨析。根據第三段中“All that falls into the wallet will be pure gold”(所有進入你錢包的都是純金)可知乞丐打開的是一個錢包，所以選 wallet，“錢包”。
7.D考查名詞辨析。只有在這種條下，我才會去做�！癆ll that falls into the wallet will be pure gold; but every piece falling upon the 8 shall become dust”代指上提到的這種條。condition“條、狀況”符合句意。
8.C考查名詞辨析。語境為：每一枚金幣掉到地上都會變成塵土，ground(地面)符合情景。
9.C考查動詞短語辨析。根據下財富女神告誡乞丐不要裝的太重，提醒乞丐注意、當心。所以選look out。look after照顧，look up仰視、向上看，look down俯視。
10.C考查形容詞辨析。結合上題，財富女神提醒乞丐當心，下又提醒乞丐“so don’t load it too heavily,”最后一段中告訴我們，錢包壞了，由此可以看出，這是一個舊錢包，所以選worn，意思是：“用舊的”。
11.B考查動詞辨析， could hardly wait to do意為：“迫不及待的干某事”。句意：激動的乞丐早已迫不及待的想拿到金子。
12A.考查名詞。根據倒數第三段中提到“golden stream”可知答案。
13.C考查動詞辨析。通過乞丐告訴財富女神錢包現在還很結實，可知不要為錢包擔心。Never fear“不要害怕”。
14.D 考查動詞。句意為：錢包裝了如此多的金幣，乞丐的手開始發(fā)抖。shake(發(fā)抖)符合情景。spread“伸展”，close“關閉”，loose“放松”，均不符合情景。
15.A考查動詞。乞丐希望金子不斷的流出，四個選項中只有pour(流出)能形象的描繪出乞丐的貪婪。
16.B考查動詞辨析。對應前的“Just a little more,”可知，這里表達的意思是：貪婪的乞丐想再往錢包中多裝一兩把金子。add(添加)符合句意。take拿、攜帶”，lend“借出” ，send“送給”，均不符合情景。最后一段的第一句話也有原詞復現： One more piece was added and the wallet split。
17.B考查動詞辨析。錢包已經裝滿了，而且是一個舊錢包，繼續(xù)裝可能會裂開。所以選burst“破裂”。最后一句話中的“split”為同義詞復現。
18.D考查動詞辨析。貪婪的乞丐認為錢包還能多裝一點。hold“保存”符合語境。
19.C考查名詞辨析。treasure(財寶)這里代指金幣。錢包破裂后金幣自然會掉到地上。present“禮物”， food“食物”，metal“金屬”，均不符合句意。

【答案與解析】
1.A考查名詞辨析，world世界；領域。句意：一個人死了，在通往另一個世界的路上，或者天堂或者地獄。House“房屋”，place“地方”，hospital“醫(yī)院”，均不符合題意。
2．D考查形容詞辨析。Splendid“輝煌的”，句意：在半路上，他看到一座壯麗輝煌的宮殿。Summer“夏季的”，fairy-tale“童話式的”，royal“盛大的”，均不適合用修飾宮殿。
3. A考查動詞辨析。ask sb. to do sth.意為：請某人做某事。句意為：宮殿主人邀請他留下，住在宮殿里。asked要求；邀請，符合情景。其他各項也可以跟sb. to do sth.結構，但是意思不符合語境。warn警告，force強迫，demand要求。
4. B考查形容詞的辨析。這里表達的意思是：我一生都在努力的工作，現在只想吃就吃飯睡覺，不想干任何工作。work hard 努力工作，符合句意。comfortably舒服的，honestly誠實的，unpaid無報酬的，均不符合句意。
5. C考查介詞短語。without any work什么活也不干。任符合句意。句意見上一題。apart from和besides意為：除了……之外，還有。out of離開，在……外面。
6. B考查語境化選詞。根據上，now I just want to eat and sleep without any work." 現在只想吃飯睡覺，不想干任何工作。下，如果是這樣的話(if so），沒有任何地方比這兒更適合你了。If so如果這樣的話，so替代上的“just want to eat and sleep without any work”。
7.D考查名詞辨析。根據下的“you can eat whatever you want” 可以吃任何你想吃的，可知在宮殿里儲存了大量的食物，jewels珠寶，tastes味道；品味，books書，都不符合語意。
8. A考查動詞辨析。這里表達的意思是：在宮殿里吃任何想吃的食物，沒有人阻止。所以選stop意為：阻止。ask請求，notice注意， meet會見，均不符合句意。
9. D 考查副詞辨析。很顯然，上“沒有人阻止”和下“不需要他做任何事情”之間是遞進關系，所以用oreover，意思是：而且。
10.C考查代詞辨析。根據句意，沒有事情需要他做，故選nothing。anything任何事情everything一切事情，something某些事情，均不符合句意。
11.B考查形容詞辨析。由but可以看出，根據句意，該句與下“he felt a bit lonely and void.(感到空虛寂寞）”形成轉折關系，在此處他對輪流著吃飯睡覺應該感到非常愉快。故選happy，意思是：愉快的，高興的。
12.D考查副詞詞義辨析。由常識可知：時由開始的對這種生活感到愉快，到感到空虛寂寞，這是一個是一個逐漸變化的過程。所以選gradually，意為：逐漸的，漸漸地。surprised感到驚訝的，happy幸高興的，mad瘋狂的,均不符合句意。
13.C考查形容詞詞義辨析。有上句提到的 “l(fā)onely and void”，可知，每天除了吃就是睡的生活是很無聊。故選boring無聊的。strange奇怪的， enjoyable快樂的，relaxing令人放松的，均不符合句意。
14.A考查名詞。根據上，既然這種生活變的很無聊，就會對這種生活失去興趣。no interest 沒有興趣；失去興趣，符合語境。trust信任，patience耐心，curiosity好奇,心均不符合句意。
15.D考查名詞。根據下，主人回復他這兒沒有任何工作，可知他想請主人幫他找份工作。Find a job找一份工作，符合句意。
16. C 考查語境話選詞。語境為：主人很遺憾的回復他，這兒沒有任何工作。所以選Sorry，意思是：遺憾的，抱歉的。That’s right沒錯；就是這樣了，Cheer up使振奮，Never mind沒關系；均不符合句意。
17A.考查動詞。could not bear不能忍受。句意為：又過了幾個月后，他再也不能忍受目前的生活了。Lose丟失、逝去，handle處理，risk風險、危險、冒險，不符合句意。
18. D考查副詞辨析。前“So he went to the owner and groaned”告訴我們：他去找過他的主人，這里表達的意思是：他再一次去找主人。只有again再一次、又一次，符合語境。Indeed的確，already已經，always一直，總是。
19.B考查動詞辨析。prefer寧愿。句意為：如果你不給我份工作，我寧愿離開這里去地獄。hope希望，期望；promise許諾，允諾；expect預期，期望。
20. Ｃ考查語境化選詞。Actually實際上。句意為：你認為這里是天堂嗎，這里實際上是地獄。no longer不再；also也，still仍然。

【答案與解析】
1．D promise“允諾，許諾”。我舉起手向妻子保證今天不吃巧克力。下信息I knew my promise would...也有暗示。

7．D blind“瞎的”。后中的信息which caused him to live in the darkness有暗示。
8．C 首先應排除years，如果Benton 15歲時患病，就與本段開頭的“an eightyearold boy”矛盾了。下一句“For the next twentysix months, he was in and out of our hospital.”有暗示。

10．B develop“(開始)患(病)”。2009年4月的一個星期五的下午Benton開始頭痛。
11．A movement“行動，移動，行進，運動”。Benton右側身體無法移動，失去知覺。注意：motion表示“(物體的)運動，移動，(天體的)運行；動作，姿態(tài)，手勢；動機，意向”。如：The train was in motion.火車開動了。All her motions were graceful.她的一舉一動都很優(yōu)雅。He did that of his own motion.他出于自愿做了那事。
12．C rush此處用作及物動詞，意為“快速運輸，速送”。
13．D 上提到Benton的母親將他送到醫(yī)院，因此這里是說，在接下的幾個月里，他又多次我們醫(yī)院。
14．A would用于表示習慣性動作，如：On Sundays he would sleep late.每逢星期天他總睡懶覺。中講Benton醫(yī)院時，我們總向他問好。
15．B greeting“問候，招呼”。我們向Benton問好，他則常給我們糖。
16．D opened“開的，敞開的，不閉塞的”。后信息but not looking into this world有暗示，注意句中信息詞“but”。

18．B for“為了，為……目的”，此處表示對象或目的。這是一顆我最喜歡吃的糖，好像是Benton特意為我留下的。
19．C 不幸地是我那個晚上在家里接到了Benton死去的噩耗。

2.A考查動詞辨析。語境為：祈禱我能贏，但現實的打擊使我沒有機會。praying“祈禱”，符合作者想贏得選舉的心態(tài)。planning“計劃”，calculating“計算”，judging“判斷”，均不符合意。
3.D考查動詞辨析。it是形式主語，真正的主語是后面的動詞不定式：to win a school election。這里指的是贏得學校的選舉需要什么。take“需要、花費”，符合句意。assess“對進行評估”， provide“提供，給予”， mean“意味，意思”。
4.B。考查形容詞辨析。根據上題，作者不知道那什么贏得選舉，所以感到沮喪。B．depressed“沮喪的”，符合作者的心情。concerned“關心的”， surprised“感到驚訝的”，confused“困惑的”，均不能表達作者此時的心情。
5.C考查副詞辨析。suddenly突然。句意：我突然做了一個深呼吸并決定不放棄夢想。符合作者鑒定的態(tài)度。gradually“漸漸地”，immediately“立即”， impatiently“無奈地”，不能表達作者的態(tài)度。
6.B考查動詞短語搭配。stand for elections為固定搭配，意為：參選。語境為：我決定在我上學的最后一年重新參選---并將要在選舉中勝出。
7.A 考查名詞辨析。由語境可知，該空指的是下提到的我的競爭對手們，也就是 “competitors”(競爭對手）。句意：我意識到我的競爭對手有很多事情戰(zhàn)友優(yōu)勢。companions“同伴”， enemies“敵人”，schoolmates“同學”，均不符合。
8.A 考查名詞辨析。這里承接上，意思是：我有優(yōu)勢的事情是什么？ “cases”(情況；實例）代上提到的“a lot of things”。
9.B考查名詞辨析。句意：我最大的長處是我有信念。由上的“in their favor ，in my favor”可知，這里談論的是優(yōu)勢，所以選strength，意為“長處”。problem“問題”，worry“擔心”， dream“夢想”，均不符合意。
10.D考查形容詞辨析。作者不想讓自己普通的的外表阻礙自己將最好的一面展現出。plain“普通的”。 作者在列舉長處時，沒有提到自己的相貌。由此可以推知，她的相貌應該不占優(yōu)勢，由此可知答案。
11.A考查動詞辨析。分析完優(yōu)勢后，作者開始著手預先制定自己的選舉計劃。began“開始；著手于”。
12.C考查動詞辨析。句意：我意識到女孩們開始了解我，并且認可我有能力代表他們。represent(代表），符合句意。
13.C考查連詞辨析。上所提到的我的優(yōu)勢“l(fā)oved making friends and I liked being helpful”與下打算利用自己的優(yōu)勢構成因果關系。所以選so，意思是“因此”。
14.B考查名詞辨析。由下的“public speaking”可知答案�！癳lection speech”(選舉演講）。句意：為了學會在一個大型的演講中如何表現自己，我還參見了一個高效公共演講的培訓。
15.C考查動詞辨析。作者贏得選舉，朋友們應該為此歡呼以示高興。此處應填“cheered”(歡呼）。
16.D考查副詞辨析。根據意，這里表達的意思是：選舉的勝利不僅是作者的也是他的支持者們的。also也符合語境。
17.A考查形容詞辨析。作者的本意只是在競選中獲勝，但獲勝后作者突然意識到，除了實現了自己的夢想外，他還得到了友情、享受了一路走朋友慢的支持和幫助，所以作者認為自己收獲了比目標還要多的東西，所以選accomplish，意為：完成，實現。accumulate 積累；devote獻身，develope發(fā)展。
18.D考查副詞辨析。Along the way一路走），句意：在競選的過程中，我交了許多新朋友, 并在前進的道路上幫助別人。
19.B 考查語境化選詞。14空前的election是原詞復現，這里再次重復參選的結果：贏得了選舉。語境為：我已經在選舉中獲勝，并贏得了同學們的關愛。
20.C考查動詞用法。這里指作者通過這次經歷，有了更多的自信，可以“能夠讓自己的朋友快樂起，讓他們的臉上帶著微笑，照亮他們的生活�！眀righten，意思是：使快樂高興，復合語境。

1.D考查名詞。由第一句話“y husband and I were cleaning windows together yesterday.”可知，“我們”有雙吊鉤的“窗戶”，這樣的“窗戶”便于你能向前推并翻轉。
2.C 考查動詞。第一段提到：昨天“我”和丈夫一起擦窗子。由此可知是便于“我們”“擦洗”窗戶的里面和外面。故clean“把……弄干凈”符合語境。
3.A考查動詞。由第一段可知，夫妻二人正在擦洗窗戶，此處指的應該是“我”的丈夫正在“洗”一扇窗戶。故wash“沖；洗”符合語境。
4.B考查名詞。由語境可知應該是“我們”的“房子(house）”要出售。
5.A考查動詞。由前面的“…and it popped out of its frame!”可知，窗子壞了。故此處應該表示“我們”最不需要的事情就是東西“壞了”。break“打破、弄壞”符合語境。
6.C考查形容詞。由下中的“…, using a few less than pleasant words (I am sorry to say).”可知，丈夫感到那么的不安(worried)。
7.D 由上中提到的“it popped out of its frame!”應該使窗戶恢復原樣。get …back意為“恢復”符合語境。
8.C 考查動詞。由下中的“…and he would try to fix it with me.”可知，丈夫盡力把窗戶“安裝”在一起。
9.A考查名詞。由倒數第二段中的“And my son fixing it with me”可知答案。
10.B 考查動詞短語。由下中的“I called my husband in to see!”可知，兒子告訴他的父親走開一會……。walk away“走開”符合語境。
11.D 考查副詞。由前面的“clearly”及后面的語境可知應該用“easily”合適。
12.A 考查形容詞。由最后一段中的第一句話“Calm is good.”可知當你“鎮(zhèn)定的”時候，看事情更清晰，做事情更容易。
13.C 考查動詞。由上一段中的“After twenty minutes he still could not get it….”可知丈夫二十分鐘后仍沒能把窗戶安裝好。再由下中的“He and I fixed the window in three minutes!”可知，他無法“相信”！
14.D 考查連詞。由上下語境可知是轉折關系。故選but。
15.A考查動詞。由上下語境可知，應該是兒子“讓”自己的父親走開一會……。
16.B考查動詞辨析。兒子幫助父親從焦慮中擺脫出。free …from …意為“使……擺脫……”符合語境。而keep…from…，阻止某人……；protect …from…，保護……免受；save …from…，從……挽救……均不符合語境。
17.C考查名詞。由本段第一句知，“我”知道這并不真的是一份禮物，但是在某一方面，它又是。故推知，“我”的兒子和我一起修理窗戶，對“我”而言是一份“禮物”。
18.D考查介詞短語。由上中的“a man ”可知下中與之對應的應該是“the kid”，故選instead of“而不是”。
19.D考查名詞。在母親眼中的兒子。故用“in one’s eyes”。其它三項均不符合語境。
20.B 考查動詞短語。turn out結果是，證明是。語境為：帶著清醒的頭腦返回并且事情將通常產生更好的結果。break out 爆發(fā)，發(fā)生；pull out 離開，撤離； make out理解，辨認出。

【答案與解析】 別人的推波助瀾讓作者忘乎所以，無緣無故地去傷害一個無辜的女孩。事后，作者非常內疚，尤其是女孩父親的那一雙眼睛，讓作者羞愧難當。
1．A本句前半部分提到以往“新生”的經歷很艱難，由此可推測作者對于融人這個新集體很“擔心”。
2．C結合本段第一句中的內容以及本句前半部分的內容可知作者消除了緊張心理，開始“放松”起。
3．B她們”指著”班上那個書呆子，向作者介紹她的情況。
4．D她是一個漂亮的女孩，黑色的眼睛，橄欖色的皮膚，“但是” 她穿著一條長長的羊毛裙和一老式的短一卜衣，很不協調。
5．A當她走過的時候，她們竊竊私語，咯咯地笑。此處as表示 “當……的時候”。
6．D放學后，她們邀請作者在學校前面”加入”她們的行列。 join sb．表示“加入某人；和某人在一起”。
7．B作者受邀加入她們的行列，成為了社團的一“員”，受寵若驚，非常激動。
8．A 由上一句提到她們用粗魯的語言辱罵ary Lou和本句后半部分可知作者“停頓”了一下，然后立刻參與進去。
9．C作者和那些女孩一起對ary Lou進行語言攻擊，所以是“嘴唇”中說出刻薄的話語。
10．A作者辱罵ary Lou，再結合下一句的內容可知沒有人能 夠”看出”作者以前從沒有做過這樣的事情。tell表示“知道，看出，確切地判斷”。
11．C上一句提到她們退到后面并開始為作者加油，再結合本句的內容可知作者備受“鼓舞”，開始有了進一步的過激行為。
12．D作者起初只是社團的普通一員，如今贏得了她們的認可，成為了領頭人，由此可知作者“適應”了新的集體。此外，第1空后面的“to fit in”是提示。
13．B上一句提到作者并不為此感到驕傲，再結合下一句的內容可知作者的心在“痛”。
14．C她從地上起，收拾好她的書，一言不發(fā)地離開了，沒有流 一滴眼淚。
15 D結合上一句中ary Lou的表現以及下一段中提到的ary Lou的父親眼睛中流露出的自豪可知盡管她的膝蓋流著血，她依然“高”昂著頭。
16．A作者”注視”著她一瘸一拐地沿著街道走開了。B、C、D三項分別表示注意、怒目而視、一瞥，都不恰當。
17 B根據第12空前面的“Everyone”Laughing．”可知作者此時轉過身去，想和這些大笑的女生一起離開。
18 C 上提到作者和那砦女生一越辱罵ary Lou由此可知 ary Lou孤身一人承受眾人的攻擊，所以她孤獨地走向她的父親。
19．D根據下•段的內容可知ary Lou的父親的淚水讓作者感到”羞愧”。
20．B他的眼睛給作者一個很好的教訓，從此以后，作者再也沒有為了自己的”利益”而去做傷害別人的事了。

3． B考查代詞。前交代了“two minds ”即“the young fisherman”和“ the engineer”這兩者，所以選擇both“兩者都”。
4． A 考查名詞。long “很長時間”；spirit take long“花費很長時間”。take后面不能直接加easy這個形容詞；take money花費錢；take strength“盡力做”。根據后的just place a board across the little stream可知，漁夫的橋不會花很長時間就能建成，用一塊木板和“花錢”無關，也不是指“盡力做某事”。
5． A 考查動詞。have it在此的意思是“達到目的，實現”，此句補全意為“只要在小溪放一塊木板就搞定了”。
6． D考查動詞。因為是人要過小溪，所以所建的這個臨時木板橋只要夠結實，只要漁夫不那么重，一切就沒有問題，所以此處要選D，weigh“稱重”。
7． C考查動詞。根據上下第二段的The young fisherman is thinking of a way to cross the stream選C，想一個過小溪的辦法，就是“做計劃”。 Promote促銷，提升；permit 允許；profit 有益于。
8． B考查情態(tài)動詞。根據下可知，應該選擇B項，前問：那位工程師會計劃做同樣的橋嗎？此空所在的句子：你知道他不會這樣做的，所以選won’t。
9． D考查名詞。由兩個人，一個人要徒步過小溪，另一個是乘車過河，所以此處應該選擇D項，就是說“車比人重得多”。
10. A 河流和小溪比較，應該選A比較合適，即河比小溪寬多了。如果選擇B，則表示小溪本身很深，才會說河流更深，再結合下的“A long wood bridge just won’t”,更能表明這里討論的是河流和溪水的寬度。
11. A 考查動詞。do在此的意思是“夠用，足夠”，補全后句意為：長的木橋還不夠。make需和it搭配意為“成功”；pass意為“通過”時是及物動詞；arise“出現”不合邏輯。
12． C考查動詞短語。根據空后面的and break under its own weight可知答案。it指前面的a long wood bridge。因為木橋不夠結實，那么在自身的重力下就會變彎曲甚至是斷掉。
13． B考查形容詞短語。由第二段的描述可以看出，結合下的“However, the engineer's is not”可以看出，此處意為：漁夫的問題很容易解決，但是工程師的就不那么簡單了，所以選simple意為：簡單的，簡樸的。similar 相似的； single 單個的；skilful
熟練的；嫻熟的。
14． C考查動詞。四個選項中只有C，feel是系動詞，后面可以接形容詞作表語。補全后句意為：別為工程師感到難過。
15． D考查動詞短語。根據后面的the very beginning可知，此處填D項，from the very beginning從一開始。start with以……開始。
16． B考查名詞。根據下“The engineer can choose the type best suited to the river and the 17 nearby”，此處應該選B，即“每座橋都要適合其特殊目的”。be suited to適合。
17． A考查名詞�？蘸竺娴膎earby指的是前面的河流的附近，據此可知此處應該填A項，即“河附近的陸地”。
18． D考查形容詞。根據前面的choose the type best suited to the river可知，此處的選擇指的是：選擇合適的橋，即“為什么一種橋要比其他的更為合適呢？”前有同義異形詞復現：suited。
19． C考查動詞。空前面的主語they指的是前面的用紙板做的橋。空后面的賓語為five-ton truck，據此應該選擇C，即這個橋不能承受5噸的卡車。
20． B此空補全后意為：但是你可以通過多一些實驗弄清橋梁設計的一些主要思想。A填入后意為“設計橋梁的用處”，不要把它和“橋的用途”相混；material材料。

【答案與解析】
作者是一位17歲的中學生，利用業(yè)余時間打工。一天，在身心疲憊打工的時候，一個人一句話使作者對自己的前途重燃希望。那句話是：You Are Going Places(你前途無量）。
1. D考查語境化選詞。我去上班的時候心情非常不好。feeling down 是現在分詞作伴隨狀語，意為“悶悶不樂”。倒數第二段的They 17 my spirit from being down也說明了該題答案。
2． A考查動詞辨析。應付那些抱怨食品、座位等的顧客是大大小小的事情。deal with表示“對付”；help with幫助某人做......；talk with和......交談；meet with遇到，經受。
3． B考查語境話選詞。顧客抱怨他們就座的位置。seat是使動詞，表示“使坐下”，be seated意為“坐下，就座”；sit是不及物動詞，應為where they sat
4． D考查動詞。諸如此類的小事容易造成我們雇員的煩惱。annoy表示“使生氣”。因為作者前面提到了顧客的種種抱怨，因此只能導致雇員的煩惱、生氣。attract吸引；avoid避免；adjust調整。
5． A考查名詞。諸如此類的小事容易造成我們雇員的煩惱。劇中的our和下的we給答案做了提示。employees表示“受雇者，雇工”。
6． C考查名詞。他們碰巧坐在我存放過用過的盤子附近的地方。spot表示“地方，地點”。根據后面的where I keep the dirty 7 in the boxes句子，排除B項；不可能把臟盤子放在客人用餐的桌子上，故排除A；kitchen不會與客人用餐的地方處于同一個位置，故排除D。
7． A 考查名詞。 the dirty dishes指客人用過的盤子。因為作者是在餐廳打工的學生，所以“端盤子”才能與主題相符。
8． C考查名詞。顧客們的進進出出、服務人員的穿梭走動。該空指服務人員在餐館的回走動，穿梭服務。顧客們是這里就餐的，不能回走，故排除D，A，B兩項太片面。
9． C考查連詞。雖然餐館處于一片忙亂的狀態(tài)，但是這三位婦女在專心的看著我。該空前的crazy給該空提出了暗示。
10． B注視著我為了確保每張桌子是干凈的去迎接下一位顧客，而多么努力的工作。how相當于how hard。
11.A考查動詞。她們吃完飯的時候。根據下的I took their plates back to the kitchen排除C、D選項；complete往往用于完成“建筑物”、“工程”、“書籍”等；而finish制作完手中的事情，如：“用完”、“吃完”等。
12． B 考查名詞。grade表示“年級”。她們詢問我上哪個年級。通過上下，可知作者是個打工的學生，故B項符合。Place地方， mark分數，position位置。
13． C考查連詞。當她們離開的時候，她們走過我身邊。as引導時間狀語從句時，表示主從句的動作同時發(fā)生。由句意排除A、D選項；while引導時間狀語從句時，從句中的謂語動詞是延續(xù)性動詞。
14． A考查形容詞。她們從我身邊走過時，有一個人用自信和溫和的語調說。由下的You are going places.（你前途無量）推測說話者語氣。因為說話人在鼓勵作者，所以只有A項符合語境
15． C考查名詞�？腿苏f完后就離開了餐館。由下知道，they指three elderly ladies，她們餐館用餐。
16． B考查名詞。根據意可知，別人給予了作者自信的“勇氣”，作者才得以重新振作起。

18． B考查名詞。她們給了我繼續(xù)努力的理由。reason表示某種行為的原因；cause表示某種現象的原因。
19． A考查名詞。有人曾經告訴我，沒有學位，我就不能從事電視臺的工作。下的I'm now a co-anchor（聯合主持人）of a student-produced television 20.暗示這里的答案。
