【答案与解析】 通过一个故事告诉我们，无论是精神世界还是物质世界，一些想法的寻找是简单的，但是想法的运用却是另外一回事。
1．A 考查形容词辨析。由下对这个传统的描述看，这个传统很独特，所以四个词中只有strange (奇怪的)符合语境。语境为：很久很久以前，有一个小村庄有着一个奇怪的传统。每到年初，已成年的男孩就会拿到一块地和资金(自己动手)去修建自己的房屋。hopeful 有希望的；literary 艺的，书本的；cultural化的。
2．C 考查动词词义辨析。这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。倒数第三段 “By fall, arc had finished his home．”中有同义词复现：finish。
3.A 考查动词词义辨析。 倒数第三段“The first winter storm destroyed his home and he froze to 16 ．The villagers mourned for him．”告诉我们，由于Paul修建的房子不好，被冻死了，人们都哀悼他，但没有帮助他度过寒冬，由此可以看出，在这一奇怪的传统中，别人是不能提供帮助的，所以选help。
4．D考查语境话选词。上一段告诉我们，成年的男孩是在每年的年初(At the beginning of every year)拿到一块地和资金的，四个选项中只有spring(春天)符合境。
5．B 考查动词辨析。对应第一段提到的was given，所以这里选receive意思是：收到。exchange 交换；recognize 认出，承认；advise 建议，忠告。
6．C考查语境话选词。前告诉我们，他们要建的是房子，这是在外出考察，自然是找最好的房子和房主交谈以获得如何建好房子的建议。中有多处同义词home的复现。
7．D考查名词词义辨析。每一位房主都很乐意提供给他们(关于如何建好房子的)建议。所以选advice。可以从“Soon he had so many great ideas that he began to 10 some of them．”中的idea得到启示。
8．B 考查动词辨析。arc 参观了几栋房子，把房主们提供的建议搜集起，所以选gather。意思是：搜集。9空后的“continued collecting more ideas”有同义词复现。expect 期待，预料；create 创造；understand理解。
9．C 考查副词辨析。考查动词辨析。arc开始建房，而Paul 却仍在继续搜集如何建房的建议，两者之间是转折关系，所以用however。
10． A 考查动词辨析。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 认为，相信；replace代替；doubt怀疑。
11． C 考查连词辨析。“He had several false starts”和“his home gradually rose from his land”之间是转折关系，所以用but。
12． D考查动词辨析。倒数第二段 “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，说的就是他所修的房子可以在建成后随时改良，所以用improve。repair 修理、修补； rebuild重建；sell卖。
13．A 考查名词辨析。第二段的“In each village, they found the nicest 31 and talked to the owners．”可知，应该选conversations，意思是：谈话、会话。
14．B 考查动词辨析。冬天了，第一场雪使Paul意识到建房子所剩的时间不多了，所以自己便急匆匆地往回赶，所以选rush，意思是：冲、奔，急匆匆的赶。
15. A 考查形容词辨析。由后面的“The first winter storm destroyed his home”可以看出，由于动工时间较晚，时间紧，他修的房子不牢固，所以选weak，意思是：不牢固的。Funny滑稽的；small小的；amazing令人吃惊的。
16. B 考查名词辨析。下一句“The villagers mourned for him”告诉我们，村民们都去哀悼他，由此可知他被冻死了，所以选death。
17. C 考查动词辨析。这里指的是arc由于修好了房子，顺利渡过了冬天，所以用survive，意思是：从困境中挺过。
18. D 考查动词辨析。raise 养育。句意为：(后)他成了村里的领导，养育了一家人，幸福满意的生活着。如果把 A 项后加上up，也是正确的。
19. B 考查形容词辨析。上面的故事告诉我们，建议和想法的寻找是简单的，而实践才是困难的，所以选easy。
20. D考查动词辨析。这里指的是最好的想法的“应用”，所以选apply。

【答案与解析】一个沿街乞讨的乞丐遇到了财富女神，财富女神给了乞丐许多金币，同时告诫乞丐，金币掉到地上则化为灰尘，贪婪的乞丐不听劝告，导致金币撑破钱包化为灰尘，乞丐又变得一无所有。故事告诫人们面对金钱不要贪得无厌。
1.D考查动词辨析。根据第一段最后一句，为什么那些人如此有钱却从不满足，还想得到更多。可知乞丐对此百思不得其解，“keep wondering”(一直想知道)符合句意。
2.B考查形容词辨析。还想得到的更多，所以不满足，“Never satisfy”(从不满足)符合句意。
3.C考查动词辨析。由常识可知，乞丐最重要的是要解决吃和穿的问题。eat(吃)对应下面提到的“穿”符合情景，learn“学习”，watch“看、观察”，play“游戏”，均不符合情景。
4.A考查名词辨析。根据第一段，乞丐在沿街乞讨，所以财富女神降落到大街上才能看到乞丐。street(街道)符合意。bridge“桥”，yard“院子”，forest“森林”，均不符合意。
5.C考查动词辨析。根据下，打开你的钱包，我要给你一些金子，可知财富女神在帮助乞丐。所以选help意为：“帮助”。praise“表扬”，forgive“原谅”， comfort“安慰”，均不符合情景。
6.D考查名词辨析。根据第三段中“All that falls into the wallet will be pure gold”(所有进入你钱包的都是纯金)可知乞丐打开的是一个钱包，所以选 wallet，“钱包”。
7.D考查名词辨析。只有在这种条下，我才会去做。“All that falls into the wallet will be pure gold; but every piece falling upon the 8 shall become dust”代指上提到的这种条。condition“条、状况”符合句意。
8.C考查名词辨析。语境为：每一枚金币掉到地上都会变成尘土，ground(地面)符合情景。
9.C考查动词短语辨析。根据下财富女神告诫乞丐不要装的太重，提醒乞丐注意、当心。所以选look out。look after照顾，look up仰视、向上看，look down俯视。
10.C考查形容词辨析。结合上题，财富女神提醒乞丐当心，下又提醒乞丐“so don’t load it too heavily,”最后一段中告诉我们，钱包坏了，由此可以看出，这是一个旧钱包，所以选worn，意思是：“用旧的”。
11.B考查动词辨析， could hardly wait to do意为：“迫不及待的干某事”。句意：激动的乞丐早已迫不及待的想拿到金子。
12A.考查名词。根据倒数第三段中提到“golden stream”可知答案。
13.C考查动词辨析。通过乞丐告诉财富女神钱包现在还很结实，可知不要为钱包担心。Never fear“不要害怕”。
14.D 考查动词。句意为：钱包装了如此多的金币，乞丐的手开始发抖。shake(发抖)符合情景。spread“伸展”，close“关闭”，loose“放松”，均不符合情景。
15.A考查动词。乞丐希望金子不断的流出，四个选项中只有pour(流出)能形象的描绘出乞丐的贪婪。
16.B考查动词辨析。对应前的“Just a little more,”可知，这里表达的意思是：贪婪的乞丐想再往钱包中多装一两把金子。add(添加)符合句意。take拿、携带”，lend“借出” ，send“送给”，均不符合情景。最后一段的第一句话也有原词复现： One more piece was added and the wallet split。
17.B考查动词辨析。钱包已经装满了，而且是一个旧钱包，继续装可能会裂开。所以选burst“破裂”。最后一句话中的“split”为同义词复现。
18.D考查动词辨析。贪婪的乞丐认为钱包还能多装一点。hold“保存”符合语境。
19.C考查名词辨析。treasure(财宝)这里代指金币。钱包破裂后金币自然会掉到地上。present“礼物”， food“食物”，metal“金属”，均不符合句意。
20.A考查不定代词辨析。句意：衣衫褴褛的乞丐除了破裂的钱包一无所有。nothing“什么也没有”。

【答案与解析】
1.A考查名词辨析，world世界；领域。句意：一个人死了，在通往另一个世界的路上，或者天堂或者地狱。House“房屋”，place“地方”，hospital“医院”，均不符合题意。
2．D考查形容词辨析。Splendid“辉煌的”，句意：在半路上，他看到一座壮丽辉煌的宫殿。Summer“夏季的”，fairy-tale“童话式的”，royal“盛大的”，均不适合用修饰宫殿。
3. A考查动词辨析。ask sb. to do sth.意为：请某人做某事。句意为：宫殿主人邀请他留下，住在宫殿里。asked要求；邀请，符合情景。其他各项也可以跟sb. to do sth.结构，但是意思不符合语境。warn警告，force强迫，demand要求。
4. B考查形容词的辨析。这里表达的意思是：我一生都在努力的工作，现在只想吃就吃饭睡觉，不想干任何工作。work hard 努力工作，符合句意。comfortably舒服的，honestly诚实的，unpaid无报酬的，均不符合句意。
5. C考查介词短语。without any work什么活也不干。任符合句意。句意见上一题。apart from和besides意为：除了……之外，还有。out of离开，在……外面。
6. B考查语境化选词。根据上，now I just want to eat and sleep without any work." 现在只想吃饭睡觉，不想干任何工作。下，如果是这样的话(if so），没有任何地方比这儿更适合你了。If so如果这样的话，so替代上的“just want to eat and sleep without any work”。
7.D考查名词辨析。根据下的“you can eat whatever you want” 可以吃任何你想吃的，可知在宫殿里储存了大量的食物，jewels珠宝，tastes味道；品味，books书，都不符合语意。
8. A考查动词辨析。这里表达的意思是：在宫殿里吃任何想吃的食物，没有人阻止。所以选stop意为：阻止。ask请求，notice注意， meet会见，均不符合句意。
9. D 考查副词辨析。很显然，上“没有人阻止”和下“不需要他做任何事情”之间是递进关系，所以用oreover，意思是：而且。
10.C考查代词辨析。根据句意，没有事情需要他做，故选nothing。anything任何事情everything一切事情，something某些事情，均不符合句意。
11.B考查形容词辨析。由but可以看出，根据句意，该句与下“he felt a bit lonely and void.(感到空虚寂寞）”形成转折关系，在此处他对轮流着吃饭睡觉应该感到非常愉快。故选happy，意思是：愉快的，高兴的。
12.D考查副词词义辨析。由常识可知：时由开始的对这种生活感到愉快，到感到空虚寂寞，这是一个是一个逐渐变化的过程。所以选gradually，意为：逐渐的，渐渐地。surprised感到惊讶的，happy幸高兴的，mad疯狂的,均不符合句意。
13.C考查形容词词义辨析。有上句提到的 “lonely and void”，可知，每天除了吃就是睡的生活是很无聊。故选boring无聊的。strange奇怪的， enjoyable快乐的，relaxing令人放松的，均不符合句意。
14.A考查名词。根据上，既然这种生活变的很无聊，就会对这种生活失去兴趣。no interest 没有兴趣；失去兴趣，符合语境。trust信任，patience耐心，curiosity好奇,心均不符合句意。
15.D考查名词。根据下，主人回复他这儿没有任何工作，可知他想请主人帮他找份工作。Find a job找一份工作，符合句意。
16. C 考查语境话选词。语境为：主人很遗憾的回复他，这儿没有任何工作。所以选Sorry，意思是：遗憾的，抱歉的。That’s right没错；就是这样了，Cheer up使振奋，Never mind没关系；均不符合句意。
17A.考查动词。could not bear不能忍受。句意为：又过了几个月后，他再也不能忍受目前的生活了。Lose丢失、逝去，handle处理，risk风险、危险、冒险，不符合句意。
18. D考查副词辨析。前“So he went to the owner and groaned”告诉我们：他去找过他的主人，这里表达的意思是：他再一次去找主人。只有again再一次、又一次，符合语境。Indeed的确，already已经，always一直，总是。
19.B考查动词辨析。prefer宁愿。句意为：如果你不给我份工作，我宁愿离开这里去地狱。hope希望，期望；promise许诺，允诺；expect预期，期望。
20. Ｃ考查语境化选词。Actually实际上。句意为：你认为这里是天堂吗，这里实际上是地狱。no longer不再；also也，still仍然。

【答案与解析】
1．D promise“允诺，许诺”。我举起手向妻子保证今天不吃巧克力。下信息I knew my promise would...也有暗示。
2．A stop doing sth.“停止做某事”。听说我要节食，不再吃巧克力，妻子诙谐地问是不是医院的礼品店不卖巧克力了。
3．B depend on“依靠，依赖，取决于”。我依靠我强烈的决心节食。

7．D blind“瞎的”。后中的信息which caused him to live in the darkness有暗示。

10．B develop“(开始)患(病)”。2009年4月的一个星期五的下午Benton开始头痛。
11．A movement“行动，移动，行进，运动”。Benton右侧身体无法移动，失去知觉。注意：motion表示“(物体的)运动，移动，(天体的)运行；动作，姿态，手势；动机，意向”。如：The train was in motion.火车开动了。All her motions were graceful.她的一举一动都很优雅。He did that of his own motion.他出于自愿做了那事。
12．C rush此处用作及物动词，意为“快速运输，速送”。
13．D 上提到Benton的母亲将他送到医院，因此这里是说，在接下的几个月里，他又多次我们医院。
14．A would用于表示习惯性动作，如：On Sundays he would sleep late.每逢星期天他总睡懒觉。中讲Benton医院时，我们总向他问好。
15．B greeting“问候，招呼”。我们向Benton问好，他则常给我们糖。
16．D opened“开的，敞开的，不闭塞的”。后信息but not looking into this world有暗示，注意句中信息词“but”。

1.A考查动词辨析。根据“So I dreamed of being a leader”(所以我梦想成为一个领导者），我总是羡慕学校的领导们对我们所有人负责。A.dmired“钦佩、羡慕”符合句意。
2.A考查动词辨析。语境为：祈祷我能赢，但现实的打击使我没有机会。praying“祈祷”，符合作者想赢得选举的心态。planning“计划”，calculating“计算”，judging“判断”，均不符合意。
3.D考查动词辨析。it是形式主语，真正的主语是后面的动词不定式：to win a school election。这里指的是赢得学校的选举需要什么。take“需要、花费”，符合句意。assess“对进行评估”， provide“提供，给予”， mean“意味，意思”。
4.B。考查形容词辨析。根据上题，作者不知道那什么赢得选举，所以感到沮丧。B．depressed“沮丧的”，符合作者的心情。concerned“关心的”， surprised“感到惊讶的”，confused“困惑的”，均不能表达作者此时的心情。
5.C考查副词辨析。suddenly突然。句意：我突然做了一个深呼吸并决定不放弃梦想。符合作者鉴定的态度。gradually“渐渐地”，immediately“立即”， impatiently“无奈地”，不能表达作者的态度。
6.B考查动词短语搭配。stand for elections为固定搭配，意为：参选。语境为：我决定在我上学的最后一年重新参选---并将要在选举中胜出。
7.A 考查名词辨析。由语境可知，该空指的是下提到的我的竞争对手们，也就是 “competitors”(竞争对手）。句意：我意识到我的竞争对手有很多事情战友优势。companions“同伴”， enemies“敌人”，schoolmates“同学”，均不符合。
8.A 考查名词辨析。这里承接上，意思是：我有优势的事情是什么？ “cases”(情况；实例）代上提到的“a lot of things”。
9.B考查名词辨析。句意：我最大的长处是我有信念。由上的“in their favor ，in my favor”可知，这里谈论的是优势，所以选strength，意为“长处”。problem“问题”，worry“担心”， dream“梦想”，均不符合意。
10.D考查形容词辨析。作者不想让自己普通的的外表阻碍自己将最好的一面展现出。plain“普通的”。 作者在列举长处时，没有提到自己的相貌。由此可以推知，她的相貌应该不占优势，由此可知答案。

12.C考查动词辨析。句意：我意识到女孩们开始了解我，并且认可我有能力代表他们。represent(代表），符合句意。
13.C考查连词辨析。上所提到的我的优势“loved making friends and I liked being helpful”与下打算利用自己的优势构成因果关系。所以选so，意思是“因此”。

1.D考查名词。由第一句话“y husband and I were cleaning windows together yesterday.”可知，“我们”有双吊钩的“窗户”，这样的“窗户”便于你能向前推并翻转。
2.C 考查动词。第一段提到：昨天“我”和丈夫一起擦窗子。由此可知是便于“我们”“擦洗”窗户的里面和外面。故clean“把……弄干净”符合语境。
3.A考查动词。由第一段可知，夫妻二人正在擦洗窗户，此处指的应该是“我”的丈夫正在“洗”一扇窗户。故wash“冲；洗”符合语境。
4.B考查名词。由语境可知应该是“我们”的“房子(house）”要出售。
5.A考查动词。由前面的“…and it popped out of its frame!”可知，窗子坏了。故此处应该表示“我们”最不需要的事情就是东西“坏了”。break“打破、弄坏”符合语境。
6.C考查形容词。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!”应该使窗户恢复原样。get …back意为“恢复”符合语境。
8.C 考查动词。由下中的“…and he would try to fix it with me.”可知，丈夫尽力把窗户“安装”在一起。
9.A考查名词。由倒数第二段中的“And my son fixing it with me”可知答案。
10.B 考查动词短语。由下中的“I called my husband in to see!”可知，儿子告诉他的父亲走开一会……。walk away“走开”符合语境。
11.D 考查副词。由前面的“clearly”及后面的语境可知应该用“easily”合适。
12.A 考查形容词。由最后一段中的第一句话“Calm is good.”可知当你“镇定的”时候，看事情更清晰，做事情更容易。
13.C 考查动词。由上一段中的“After twenty minutes he still could not get it….”可知丈夫二十分钟后仍没能把窗户安装好。再由下中的“He and I fixed the window in three minutes!”可知，他无法“相信”！
14.D 考查连词。由上下语境可知是转折关系。故选but。
15.A考查动词。由上下语境可知，应该是儿子“让”自己的父亲走开一会……。
16.B考查动词辨析。儿子帮助父亲从焦虑中摆脱出。free …from …意为“使……摆脱……”符合语境。而keep…from…，阻止某人……；protect …from…，保护……免受；save …from…，从……挽救……均不符合语境。
17.C考查名词。由本段第一句知，“我”知道这并不真的是一份礼物，但是在某一方面，它又是。故推知，“我”的儿子和我一起修理窗户，对“我”而言是一份“礼物”。
18.D考查介词短语。由上中的“a man ”可知下中与之对应的应该是“the kid”，故选instead of“而不是”。
19.D考查名词。在母亲眼中的儿子。故用“in one’s eyes”。其它三项均不符合语境。
20.B 考查动词短语。turn out结果是，证明是。语境为：带着清醒的头脑返回并且事情将通常产生更好的结果。break out 爆发，发生；pull out 离开，撤离； make out理解，辨认出。

【答案与解析】 别人的推波助澜让作者忘乎所以，无缘无故地去伤害一个无辜的女孩。事后，作者非常内疚，尤其是女孩父亲的那一双眼睛，让作者羞愧难当。
1．A本句前半部分提到以往“新生”的经历很艰难，由此可推测作者对于融人这个新集体很“担心”。
2．C结合本段第一句中的内容以及本句前半部分的内容可知作者消除了紧张心理，开始“放松”起。
3．B她们”指着”班上那个书呆子，向作者介绍她的情况。
4．D她是一个漂亮的女孩，黑色的眼睛，橄榄色的皮肤，“但是” 她穿着一条长长的羊毛裙和一老式的短一卜衣，很不协调。
5．A当她走过的时候，她们窃窃私语，咯咯地笑。此处as表示 “当……的时候”。
6．D放学后，她们邀请作者在学校前面”加入”她们的行列。 join sb．表示“加入某人；和某人在一起”。
7．B作者受邀加入她们的行列，成为了社团的一“员”，受宠若惊，非常激动。
8．A 由上一句提到她们用粗鲁的语言辱骂ary Lou和本句后半部分可知作者“停顿”了一下，然后立刻参与进去。
9．C作者和那些女孩一起对ary Lou进行语言攻击，所以是“嘴唇”中说出刻薄的话语。
10．A作者辱骂ary Lou，再结合下一句的内容可知没有人能 够”看出”作者以前从没有做过这样的事情。tell表示“知道，看出，确切地判断”。
11．C上一句提到她们退到后面并开始为作者加油，再结合本句的内容可知作者备受“鼓舞”，开始有了进一步的过激行为。
12．D作者起初只是社团的普通一员，如今赢得了她们的认可，成为了领头人，由此可知作者“适应”了新的集体。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为此感到骄傲，再结合下一句的内容可知作者的心在“痛”。
14．C她从地上起，收拾好她的书，一言不发地离开了，没有流 一滴眼泪。
15 D结合上一句中ary Lou的表现以及下一段中提到的ary Lou的父亲眼睛中流露出的自豪可知尽管她的膝盖流着血，她依然“高”昂着头。
16．A作者”注视”着她一瘸一拐地沿着街道走开了。B、C、D三项分别表示注意、怒目而视、一瞥，都不恰当。
17 B根据第12空前面的“Everyone”Laughing．”可知作者此时转过身去，想和这些大笑的女生一起离开。
18 C 上提到作者和那砦女生一越辱骂ary Lou由此可知 ary Lou孤身一人承受众人的攻击，所以她孤独地走向她的父亲。
19．D根据下•段的内容可知ary Lou的父亲的泪水让作者感到”羞愧”。
20．B他的眼睛给作者一个很好的教训，从此以后，作者再也没有为了自己的”利益”而去做伤害别人的事了。

【答案与解析】
1． D考查名词。这是一个常识题，即能够过小溪而不湿鞋或脚。A，B和C虽然符合语法，但却不合常理。
2．C 考查名词辨析。语境为“工程师想出了一个办法”， to get automobiles across the river without getting their wheels wet 是不定式作定语，修饰所填的词。
3． B考查代词。前交代了“two minds ”即“the young fisherman”和“ the engineer”这两者，所以选择both“两者都”。
4． A 考查名词。long “很长时间”；spirit take long“花费很长时间”。take后面不能直接加easy这个形容词；take money花费钱；take strength“尽力做”。根据后的just place a board across the little stream可知，渔夫的桥不会花很长时间就能建成，用一块木板和“花钱”无关，也不是指“尽力做某事”。
5． A 考查动词。have it在此的意思是“达到目的，实现”，此句补全意为“只要在小溪放一块木板就搞定了”。
6． D考查动词。因为是人要过小溪，所以所建的这个临时木板桥只要够结实，只要渔夫不那么重，一切就没有问题，所以此处要选D，weigh“称重”。
7． C考查动词。根据上下第二段的The young fisherman is thinking of a way to cross the stream选C，想一个过小溪的办法，就是“做计划”。 Promote促销，提升；permit 允许；profit 有益于。
8． B考查情态动词。根据下可知，应该选择B项，前问：那位工程师会计划做同样的桥吗？此空所在的句子：你知道他不会这样做的，所以选won’t。
9． D考查名词。由两个人，一个人要徒步过小溪，另一个是乘车过河，所以此处应该选择D项，就是说“车比人重得多”。
10. A 河流和小溪比较，应该选A比较合适，即河比小溪宽多了。如果选择B，则表示小溪本身很深，才会说河流更深，再结合下的“A long wood bridge just won’t”,更能表明这里讨论的是河流和溪水的宽度。
11. A 考查动词。do在此的意思是“够用，足够”，补全后句意为：长的木桥还不够。make需和it搭配意为“成功”；pass意为“通过”时是及物动词；arise“出现”不合逻辑。
12． C考查动词短语。根据空后面的and break under its own weight可知答案。it指前面的a long wood bridge。因为木桥不够结实，那么在自身的重力下就会变弯曲甚至是断掉。
13． B考查形容词短语。由第二段的描述可以看出，结合下的“However, the engineer's is not”可以看出，此处意为：渔夫的问题很容易解决，但是工程师的就不那么简单了，所以选simple意为：简单的，简朴的。similar 相似的； single 单个的；skilful
熟练的；娴熟的。
14． C考查动词。四个选项中只有C，feel是系动词，后面可以接形容词作表语。补全后句意为：别为工程师感到难过。
15． D考查动词短语。根据后面的the very beginning可知，此处填D项，from the very beginning从一开始。start with以……开始。
16． B考查名词。根据下“The engineer can choose the type best suited to the river and the 17 nearby”，此处应该选B，即“每座桥都要适合其特殊目的”。be suited to适合。
17． A考查名词。空后面的nearby指的是前面的河流的附近，据此可知此处应该填A项，即“河附近的陆地”。
18． D考查形容词。根据前面的choose the type best suited to the river可知，此处的选择指的是：选择合适的桥，即“为什么一种桥要比其他的更为合适呢？”前有同义异形词复现：suited。
19． C考查动词。空前面的主语they指的是前面的用纸板做的桥。空后面的宾语为five-ton truck，据此应该选择C，即这个桥不能承受5吨的卡车。
20． B此空补全后意为：但是你可以通过多一些实验弄清桥梁设计的一些主要思想。A填入后意为“设计桥梁的用处”，不要把它和“桥的用途”相混；material材料。

I went to work feeling 1 . And to make matters worse, I was busy that evening. It' s the same thing over and over again. 2 with customers who complain about their food and where they are 3 is too big or too small. Little things like that tend to 4 a lot of us 5 but we manage to deal with it.
Three elderly ladies walked in and sat by the windows. It happened to be the very 6 near where I keep the dirty 7 in the boxes. Trying to keep up with all the dirty tables, customers leaving and coming in and 8 running all over the house, it was crazy． 9 these elderly women were watching 10 I was working to make sure every table was clean and ready for the next customers.
When they 11 their meals, I took their plates back to the kitchen. They talked to me for a while about school, how I was doing, what 12 I was in and what I planned to do in the future.
13 they were leaving, they walked past me and one of them said to me in a 14 and gentle voice, "You are going places. And that was it. They left the 15 and I had tears in my eyes, because they gave me 16 to believe in myself．They 17 my spirit from being down and gave me a 18 to keep on working hard.
People used to tell me that I couldn’t have a career in 19 until I had a degree. I'm now a co-anchor (联合主持人) of a student-produced television 20 . And the best thing is: I'm only 17 years old and I am a senior in high school.

【答案与解析】
作者是一位17岁的中学生，利用业余时间打工。一天，在身心疲惫打工的时候，一个人一句话使作者对自己的前途重燃希望。那句话是：You Are Going Places(你前途无量）。
1. D考查语境化选词。我去上班的时候心情非常不好。feeling down 是现在分词作伴随状语，意为“闷闷不乐”。倒数第二段的They 17 my spirit from being down也说明了该题答案。
2． A考查动词辨析。应付那些抱怨食品、座位等的顾客是大大小小的事情。deal with表示“对付”；help with帮助某人做......；talk with和......交谈；meet with遇到，经受。
3． B考查语境话选词。顾客抱怨他们就座的位置。seat是使动词，表示“使坐下”，be seated意为“坐下，就座”；sit是不及物动词，应为where they sat
4． D考查动词。诸如此类的小事容易造成我们雇员的烦恼。annoy表示“使生气”。因为作者前面提到了顾客的种种抱怨，因此只能导致雇员的烦恼、生气。attract吸引；avoid避免；adjust调整。
5． A考查名词。诸如此类的小事容易造成我们雇员的烦恼。剧中的our和下的we给答案做了提示。employees表示“受雇者，雇工”。
6． C考查名词。他们碰巧坐在我存放过用过的盘子附近的地方。spot表示“地方，地点”。根据后面的where I keep the dirty 7 in the boxes句子，排除B项；不可能把脏盘子放在客人用餐的桌子上，故排除A；kitchen不会与客人用餐的地方处于同一个位置，故排除D。
7． A 考查名词。 the dirty dishes指客人用过的盘子。因为作者是在餐厅打工的学生，所以“端盘子”才能与主题相符。
8． C考查名词。顾客们的进进出出、服务人员的穿梭走动。该空指服务人员在餐馆的回走动，穿梭服务。顾客们是这里就餐的，不能回走，故排除D，A，B两项太片面。
9． C考查连词。虽然餐馆处于一片忙乱的状态，但是这三位妇女在专心的看着我。该空前的crazy给该空提出了暗示。
10． B注视着我为了确保每张桌子是干净的去迎接下一位顾客，而多么努力的工作。how相当于how hard。
11.A考查动词。她们吃完饭的时候。根据下的I took their plates back to the kitchen排除C、D选项；complete往往用于完成“建筑物”、“工程”、“书籍”等；而finish制作完手中的事情，如：“用完”、“吃完”等。
12． B 考查名词。grade表示“年级”。她们询问我上哪个年级。通过上下，可知作者是个打工的学生，故B项符合。Place地方， mark分数，position位置。
13． C考查连词。当她们离开的时候，她们走过我身边。as引导时间状语从句时，表示主从句的动作同时发生。由句意排除A、D选项；while引导时间状语从句时，从句中的谓语动词是延续性动词。
14． A考查形容词。她们从我身边走过时，有一个人用自信和温和的语调说。由下的You are going places.（你前途无量）推测说话者语气。因为说话人在鼓励作者，所以只有A项符合语境
15． C考查名词。客人说完后就离开了餐馆。由下知道，they指three elderly ladies，她们餐馆用餐。
16． B考查名词。根据意可知，别人给予了作者自信的“勇气”，作者才得以重新振作起。
