解析

小题1:B 通读全文可知,这篇短文主要描写 James 在办公室外面等候应聘面试时的心理活动,通篇以 James 的紧张、忧虑为主线。
小题1:C 从短文的情景看,显然是 James 自己不知如何是好。
小题1:C 后暗示题。下文有 for nearly an hour 和…an hour earlier。
小题1:A 该文除 James 外,还谈到了另外一个应聘者a woman的情况。James—nervous the woman—confident两人形成了对比,所以选 A。
小题1:B 由于自己紧张,女应聘者自信,再加上女应聘者 “had been in there for nearly an hour”所以该空用 sure 符合短文大意。
小题1:D 上下文暗示题。
小题1:D 后暗示题,下文中的“…such a lot before the day of the interview. He had imagined himself…” 极想得到这份工作, 说明 James 对应聘这份工作很重视, 所以选 so much。 ,所以“It meant everything to him”.
小题1:A 因为“极想得到这份工作”everything 过于具体、片面。
小题1:C 后暗示题。从下句中“He had imagined himself…”可看出他是在想,而非做梦。
小题1:B explaining answering writing 都是表示单项的、具体的动作。performing 可以表示应聘面试时总的表现情况,填在空缺处更符合文意。
小题1:C imagine 的搭配动名词,想象“被给工作”时的情景。
小题1:D “But” 说明现在 的感觉与前一天的想象截然不同, 表示语义上的转折, 所以 feeling后应填一个表示“糟糕”的词。
小题1:D 情急之下,James 记不住事先计划好的台词。
小题1:C planned计划好的。解析见上题。
小题1:A 前后暗示题。他几乎要站起来离开,而不是进去。
小题1:C 三个短语 take back收回、put off推迟、put down镇压、写下来都常做及物动词 give up放弃既可做及物动词,也可做不及物动词,填在这里,既符合语意,又符合句子结构。
小题1:B 语意题。她对自己的表现很满意。
小题1:D 看到她得意的表情,James 更相信她抢了自己的工作,所以恨她。
小题1:C “that he had gone home after all”是虚拟语气形式,表达与事实相反的愿望,四个选项中只有 wish 才有这种用法。
小题1:A 由于紧张,双腿颤抖,额头冒汗。要填的为独立主格结构中的现在分词 shaking。

举一反三
According to Andrew, it never would have happened if he had not had a flat tire on Highway 10 last night at about 7:30. He was on his way to attend a three-day sales meeting when he had the flat. tyre. Unfortunately, he did not have a spare, so he pushed the car off the road, locked it up, and managed to thumb a ride back to Pine Grove. It was after eleven o"clock when he finally got home, and it was then that his real problems started.
When Andrew left home at about 5:30, he had told his wife not to expect him back until Thursday or Friday. Knowing that his wife was nervous about staying in the house alone at night, Andrew took the precaution of checking all the windows in the house to be sure they were locked, so that he could report to his wife that the house was secure. He convinced his wife that the house was burglar-proof, and that she would be perfectly safe, providing she bolted (闩上)the front door as soon as he drove away.
Andrew"s only thought as he made his way in the dark to his front door was how surprised his wife was going to be to see him, since he was not supposed to be back until Thursday or Friday. He had forgotten about the bolt on the front door. When he turned his key in the lock and the door wouldn"t budge, he remembered the bolt. And he remembered that he had carefully locked all of the windows.
Although Andrew didn"t know it at the time, a next-door neighbor had seen him approaching the house and had watched him go up the steps to the front door. In the dark, it was impossible for the neighbor to recognize Andrew, and, besides, the neighbor knew that Andrew had gone out-of-town for a three-day meeting. As a matter of fact, Andrew had asked the neighbor to keep an eye on the house while he was gone.
Finding that he couldn"t get in, Andrew began pounding(砰砰地敲) on the front door to get his wife to open the door. According to Andrew, however, his wife is a very sound sleeper, and he knew it was going to be hard to wake her up. In the meantime, because of all the noise he had been making, the neighbor was convinced that somebody was trying to break into the house; so she called the police.
When we talked to Andrew at the country jail this morning, he said that he still didn"t understand how the police managed to circle the house without his seeing them. He stated that he had decided the only way to get in was to break one of the dining room windows, and that he was about, to hurl his briefcase into the window to break it when two of the officers grabbed him from behind.
Andrew could not make the officers believe that he lived there; so they took him off to jail. Apparently, he did succeed in convincing them that they ought to wake up the woman in the house to check his story. But there was no answer when they knocked at the door. He tried to explain to them that his wife was a very sound sleeper, but they concluded there was nobody in the house.
小题1:As Andrew had a flat tyre on the way, he          .
A.had to take another car to attend the meeting
B.rode on a bike to attend the meating
C.asked for a lift to go back home
D.borrowed a car to go back home
小题2:When Andrew was approaching the house        .
A.he was sure he would pleasently surprise his wife
B.he was deep in thought
C.he was sure that his neighbor would help him
D.he was worried about how to wake his wife up
小题3:The  underlined word “budge” in Paragraph 3 probably means           .
A.move slightlyB.lock tightlyC.knock lightlyD.close tightly
小题4:Why did the police officers take Andrew off to jail?
A.It was too late for them to contact Andrew’s wife.
B.Andrew did not explain clearly why he broke into the house.
C.They thought it unnecessary to check Andrew’s story.
D.they concluded that Andrew’s story was a complete invention.

For a small town, Mantattan, Kansas has some big surprises. And one of them is the Holiday Inn Hotel, with rooms built around a swimming pool and a friendly atmosphere.
The Holiday Inn is where Manhattan people often go for a special party, or a night out. A lot of them choose to eat in the bright‑lit restaurant near the pool, And many of them will be served by Ellen Logan, who has worked as a waitress here for more than two years.
Ellen, like most of the waitresses, is also a student. She comes from Nebraska, but she’s planning one day to be a veterinary surgeon, and to care for small animals. But in order to support herself at college, she works twenty hours a week at the Holiday Inn.
Ellen soon learned what every waitress finds out. Your best friend has a good pair of shoes. She paid forty‑five dollars for hers, much more than she would usually spend. She’s discovered something else too. You don’t have to know much about food to be a good waitress, but you do have to know a lot about people.
“A lot of business people always stay here when they come to Manhattan”, she explains. “They like you to recognize them and remember their favorite dishes. But some couples come for a night out together. They just want to be left alone. Then there are people who can’t make up their minds. They look down the menu and say,‘What do you suggest?’So I ask them how hungry they are. If they say,‘Not very.’I suggest the salad bar, with soup, salad, bread, and a fruit plate. But if they say they’re very hungry, I suggest a Kansas Strip Steak, with potatoes or rice. You get salad and bread as well. It’s very nice. Real good value”.
Ellen may get tired sometimes, but at least she’s learning too much about people. She’s learning too much about people. She’ll probably make a good animal doctor, but if she finds she doesn’t like it after all, she can become a psychiatrist(心理医生)instead.
小题1:What does the underlined phrase “a veterinary surgeon” mean?

The teacher who did the most to encourage me was, as it happened, my aunt. She was Myrtle C. Manigault, the wife of my mother’s brother Bill. She taught in second grade at all-black Summer School in Camden, New Jersey.
During my childhood and youth, Aunt Myrtle encouraged me to develop every aspect of my potential, without regard for what was considered practical or possible for black females. I liked to sing; she listened to my voice and pronounced it good. I couldn’t dance; she taught me the basic dancing steps. She took me to the theatre ---- not just children’s theatre but adult comedies and dramas—and her faith that I could appreciate adult plays was not disappointed.
My aunt also took down books from her extensive library and shared them with me. I had books at home, but they were all serious classics. Even as a child I had a strong liking for humor, and I’ll never forget the joy of discovering Don Marquis’s Archy & Mehitabel through her.
Most important, perhaps, Aunt Myrtle provided my first opportunity to write for publication. A writer herself for one of the black newspapers, she suggested my name to the editor as a “youth columnist”. My column, begun when I was fourteen, was supposed to cover teenage social activities—and it did—but it also gave me the freedom to write on many other subjects as well as the habit of gathering material, the discipline of meeting deadlines, and, after graduation from college six years later, a solid collection of published material that carried my name and was my passport to a series of writing jobs.
Today Aunt Myrtle is still an enthusiastic supporter of her “favourite niece”. Like a diamond, she has reflected a bright, multifaceted (多面的) image of possibilities to every pupil who has crossed her path.
小题1:Which of the following did Aunt Myrtle do to the author during her childhood and youth?
A.She lent her some serious classics.B.She cultivated her taste for music.
C.She discovered her talent for dancing.D.She introduced her to adult plays.
小题2:Aunt Myrtle recommended the author to a newspaper editor mainly to ______.
A.involve her in teenage social activitiesB.give her a chance to collect material
C.develop her capabilities for writingD.offer her a series of writing jobs
小题3:We can conclude from the passage that Aunt Myrtle was a teacher who ______.
A.gave pupils confidence in exploiting their potential
B.trained pupils to be diligent and well-disciplined
C.emphasized what was practical or possible for pupils.
D.helped pupils overcome difficulties in learning

On the first day of the sixth grade, I noticed one little girl called Amy on the school bus. “ Don’t  16  her,” warned Lauren, who sat beside me. “or they will make fun of you.”
Amy had many  17  differences - lots of reasons for other kids to make fun of her. Her eyes weren’t straight. Her glasses were an inch thick. And she had really uneven teeth.
Every day  18  we drove to and from school, kids would shout insults(侮辱) at Amy. “God,what a strange face! Stop  19  me!”“Mr. Rolland (the driver)! Amy took off her glasses, and now her eyes are frightening me.  20  her put them back on!” For a while I shouted my  21  of insults, just so I’d fit in.  22 , I didn’t want them to treat me the same way they treated Amy.
But while I was insulting her, my heart  23  for the girl. I could see that the insults were making her look uglier, because she was so  24  and alone. Then I wanted to  25  her. I just didn’t know how to stop my schoolmates - 26  the night of our class roller-skating party.
Our whole class was there,  27  Amy. Amy didn’t know how to skate, but I could see how much she wanted to have  28  like the rest of us. So I skated over to her and took her by the hand.  29  we began the journey together around the skating rink. She just smiled, and every once in a while she would laugh in excitement.
On the school bus the next morning, there was much  30  about Amy and me skating together. But  31  insulted her or me. And they didn’t do that for the rest of the year. I  32  heard from Amy again after the school year. But I’ve always  33  that I changed her life for the better.
