解析

试题分析：这篇短文讲述的是James去参加一次工作的面试，他很紧张，因为他很想得到这份工作。在他前面进去的那位女士在里面呆了很长时间，进去时，她很自信，所以James认为她很有可能得到这个工作。James想干脆离开，但是他为了这次面试准备了很长时间，他不想就此放弃。终于，那个女士出来了，轮到James进去了......
小题1:考查介词及语境的理解。句意：在他前面进去的那个人已经在那里呆了将近一个小时了。根据文章最后一段The woman who had gone in an hour earlier came out可知，那位女士是在James之前进去面试的，故填before。beside 在...旁边；with 和...一起；after在...之后。根据文意可知选C。
小题2:考查形容词及语境的理解。句意：不像James，她进去的时候是那么的自信。由上文可知，He felt so nervous that，James感到很紧张，那么那位女士不像James，也就是不紧张，即充满自信。cheerful 欢呼的；challenging 有挑战性的；anxious 焦虑的；sure自信的。根据文意可知选D。
小题3:考查名词及语境的理解。句意：他确信她已经得到了这个工作。由下句话The problem was that he wanted this job so much可知，James 非常想得到这个工作，我们可以知道James在参加的是一个工作的面试，故应该填job。reward 报酬；place 地方；degree 学位。根据文意可知选B。
小题4:考查代词及语境的理解。句意：这个工作对他来说意味着一切。从上句话The problem was that he wanted this job so much可知，James非常想得到这个工作，故这个工作应该是对他来说很重要，也就是意味着一切。everything 一切，每件事；anything 任何事；something 某事；nothing没什么事。根据文意故选A。
小题5:考查动词及语境的理解。句意：他曾经想象过他自己在面试的时候表现出色。根据文意可知James在参加一个工作的面试，他非常想得到这个工作，故他想自己在面试时perform 表现得好。explain 解释；observe 观察；write写。根据文意可知选C。
小题6:考查副词及语境的理解。句意：他曾经想象过他自己在面试的时候表现出色，马上就得到了这个工作。surprisingly 令人惊奇的；lately 最近；frequently 频繁的，经常的；immediately立即，马上。前面说James想象自己在面试中表现出色，故应是马上就得到了这个工作。故选D。
小题7:考查形容词及语境的理解。句意：但是现在他感觉很糟糕，他想不起来他原计划想说的所有东西。terrible 糟糕的；foolish 愚蠢的；ashamed惭愧的；excited 兴奋的。根据这句话的意思可以知道，James原本准备的很好，但是现在却很紧张，以至于把原本准备好的东西都忘了，故他应是感觉不好，很糟糕。故选A。
小题8:考查动词及语境的理解。句意：他甚至想站起来离开。从下文可知，James这里是想要放弃，But no—he had to do this，但是不行，不能放弃，他必须要参加这个面试。say 说话；leave 离开；think 思考，认为；walk散步，走路。根据文意可知选B。
小题9:考查动词及语境的理解。句意：他花了这么长时间考虑这件事，他不能就这样放弃。give in 屈服，投降，让步；give out 分发，精疲力尽；give up 放弃；give away 捐赠。根据文意可知选C。
小题10:考查形容词及语境的理解。句意：一小时前进去的那位女士出来了，对自己感到很伤心。她同情的对James笑了笑。ugly 丑陋的；pretty 漂亮的。这两项都与文章的内容无关。pleased 高兴的，满意的；sad 伤心的。根据下句话中smiled sympathetically at James ，我们可以猜测出，她对自己应是感到伤心。故选D。
