Mr Breen 39 them all by name and they sometimes even had their order already made up , always 40 me to carry it out to their car . They were clearly long-standing customers , and I 41 they must have stayed faithful to him 42 he had promised to sell good quality 43 . He had a way with them —I had to 44 that . He called every woman “madam” for a start , 45 those who clearly were not, but when he 46 it , it did not sound like flattery (奉承). It just sounded 47 in an old-fashioned way . He was a great chatter 48 .

答案
36—40 BADBC 41—45 DCBAD 46—50 BCACD 51—55 BADCA
解析
36.解析:operator接线员、操作员,assistant伙计、助手,waiter餐馆服务员,secretary 秘书,根据工作地点是fruit shop可知选B。
37.解析:根据“he also had regular customers”可知生意很好,good business。
38.解析:outside the shop in cars和neighborhood一个是远道而来,一个是邻居,是相反的,
所以是but。
39.解析:them指的是顾客,另外根据by name,所以用knew。
40.解析:根据后面to carry可知选getting,make和let后面跟do something,而keep后面
跟doing。
41.解析:根据后面must可知这句表示推断,所以用suppose。declare是宣布,wish是希望,insist是坚持,都不能表示推测的意思。
42.解析:faithful to him和he had promised to sell good quality忠实的顾客和承诺卖给好的商品是因果关系。
43.解析:根据第二句可知Mr Breen开的是水果店,所以供应fruit。
44.解析:我不得不承认,用admit。expect 希望、预料,announce宣布,promise保证。
45.解析:即使看上去不是madam,表示Mr Breen待人有礼貌,选even。
46.解析:和上句的call对应,用said。told后面要跟somebody,talk后面跟with,speak除非和语言搭配后面不跟宾语。
47.解析:根据上句did not sound like flattery可以推断是彬彬有礼,选polite。
48.解析:a great chatter和前面待人有礼貌是递进关系,用as well。also要用在was前。
49.解析:saying谚语,question问题,words闲谈,speech演讲。和上句的chatter呼应,Mr Breen即使对不认识的顾客也要聊一两句天气。
50.解析:和上句if he did not know them对应,选but if。
51.解析:和陌生人谈天气,和熟人开玩笑,选make jokes。make preparation作准备,make repairs修理,make friends交朋友,都不通。
52.解析:cut one’s cloth according to因人而异。
53.解析:无论顾客买多少水果,都会找一些零钱,选表示肯定的always。
54.解析:别人认为Mr Breen慷慨,而“我”认为相反,因而Mr Breen从来不丢掉什么。
55.解析:something某物。从上文可以看出,Mr Breen是既“大方”又“小气”的人,他能够在“无”中找出某种东西来。
