【答案与解析】
作者在餐馆工作时，误把别人的助步器当成托盘架使用，这一错误让作者认识到：做事要更细心，不要过于相信自己。
1. D。由于刚开始在餐馆里当服务员，所以应先与一个有经验的服务员一起工作。
2. C。这里指的是“我”跟着有经验的服务员工作几天后，就可以单独招待客人了。be allowed to do sth 意为“被准许做某事”。
3. A。根据下文可知，作者在工作中遇到了一些状况，与之相对，这里是指“在最初的一个星期里我的工作很顺利”。
4. B。上文中说到作者可以单独招待客人了，这里指的是作者分配到的餐桌离厨房较近，故用 given。
5. B。根据空格后面的句子 I still felt it a little hard to carry the heavy trays 可推知，虽然作者负责的餐桌离厨房较近，但她端着那些沉重的装菜的托盘仍然觉得有点吃力，所以空格前后句之间是转折关系，故用 however。
6. C。因为作者是在餐馆工作，所以这里应该是指“餐馆”（restaurant）里坐满了客人。
7. A。根据空格前面的 I moved slowly 以及作者前面提到的她端着托盘有点吃力，可推知这里指的是作者每走一步都很小心，即 mind every step。
8. D。由于托盘架可减轻劳动强度，作者当然感到高兴。
9. B。这里说的是作者看见的托盘架与她平时练习所使用的托盘架不同。即她觉得这个托盘架比通常用的托盘架更好，这从下文可以看出。
10. D。根据空格前面的 It had nice handles 以及空格后面的...to move around 可推知此句话的意思是：因为托盘架装有手柄，所以推起来更容易一些。
11. A。根据上下文语境可知，这里说的是作者使用托盘架很顺手、很满意，并开始觉得自己天生就是当服务员的好手。
12. C。根据下文的 It seems your tray stand has been...可知，这位老人与他的妻子看着作者工作已有一会儿了，故此处用 watch，表示“观看”。
13. A。因为上文提到作者使用这个“托盘架”很顺手，所以此处老人的意思是：看来这个“托盘架”对你很有用呀！
14. D。根据后文可知，作者误把老人妻子的助步器当成托盘架使用了。这里是指老人和他妻子用餐完毕，准备离开餐馆，向作者要回助步器。
15. B。参见上面第14题的解析。
16. C。根据空格后面的 What was he talking about 可知，作者一开始并没有明白老人话中的意思。
17. D。根据空格前面的 frozen as ice 以及 but 可知，此处要填入一个与 ice 相对的词，再根据语境，作者把老人妻子的助步器当成了托盘架，当她意识到这一点的时候，自然会因尴尬而脸红，故答案选 D。
18. B。根据空格前面的...to get into a hole 可推知，作者当时觉得很尴尬，恨不得有个
洞可以躲进去，故答案选 B。
19. D。因本文主要是描述作者在餐馆当服务员时所犯的一个尴尬错误，故答案选 D。
20. A。根据上下文语境，作者因为大意而误把别人的助步器当成了托盘架，但她也学到了一条经验：做事要更细心，不要过于相信自己。

本文是一篇故事情节较强的记叙文。文章讲述了“父亲如何履行自己曾对儿子许下的诺言”，
故事生动、感人，极富吸引力。
解题指导：
1. B only to do sth.“结果却，不料”，作结果状语，表示该结果在主语的预料之外；现在分词作结果状语，表示由主句所产生的逻辑上的结果。 realize在脑海里经过思维“认识到，了解”；find在表面上就能“发现，看出”。
2. A 这四个选项都是英语成语，根据本段第一句an 8.2 earthquake almost flattened America判断，选择A项。
3. D 从意义上判断，“他想起了他曾对他儿子许下的诺言”；memorized是“背诵，熟记”。
4. A 从结构上分析，该句是省略了谓语动词的省略句，省略谓语之后，意义仍然清楚，如不省略动词，则使用第三人称单数happens。从意义上分析，可排除C、D项。
5. A 表示“流泪”，这几个动词都可能表示这种意义，但句式搭配不同，其表现形式分别为Tears fill his eyes；Tears come into his eyes；He bursts into tears。
6. B 从上下文意义判断，“他不停地想起他对他儿子许下的诺言”。
7. B 动词和动词短语是完形填空设项的重点之一。此题要分清这四项的不同含义。dig及物动词，“掘（土），挖”；dig through“（为找„„）在„„里挖掘”；dig out “发掘出” dig into“钻研”。
8. D 从结构上分析，应该用现在分词作伴随状语，用and则表示并列，用said。
9. C Come on表示劝说，不耐烦，意为“得啦！，来！”，可用Come, Come,代替。
10. D 从词义上判断one line“一句话（台词）”，A项中的one word干扰性较大，它表示“一个词”，如用words 是正确的。
11. A “介词+反身代词”有固定含义，for oneself独自地，亲自；by oneself单独地；of oneself自行地，自动地；to oneself 对（着）自己。
12. C 这四个词都有“活着的”之意，live仅用作定语，作表语用living ，alive 。living和alive在意义上有细微差别，living可作定语和表语，含有“本以为死了，然而还活着”，又如：I can’t believe my first teacher is still living。alive作表语和后置定语，其含义与dead相对应。lively“生动的，活跃的”。
13. D “在第38小时的时候，„„”，序数词之前要用定冠词。
14. B 注意这四个词的区别：sound “（各种）声音”；voice “（人们说话的）嗓音” noise“（不悦耳的）嘈音”；tone“（人们说话的）语气，语调”。
15. B 这是表将来的虚拟语气，主句中用would +动词原形，从下文的句子中也能找到类似的句子。
16. A 从意义上判断，“如果你来救我，他们也会得救。”是条件状语从句，应该用if 引导，然而选项中没有if，when与if同义，引导条件状语从句。even if 引导让步状语从句。
17. C 此题包含一个固定句型：There are „ left. “还有„„剩余下来”。
18. C 14 „out of 33 意为：33人中有14人活下来。out of “从„„里面”。特别注意此题中的介词与前面的left没有任何联系。如果没有意识到这点，极可能会选错。
19. D 从意义上判断，“房屋倒塌时，自然形成的三角空隙”。而make room; make space 意为“（有意识地）为„„腾出空间”。
20. A 从上下文意义判断，此句为原因状语从句。
My ears are recently full of joyous remarks from my friends such as, “oh, Beckham is so handsome, so cool, that I can’t help falling in love with him!” Or “what perfect skills he has!” Yeah, I agree 1 some degree, though I sometimes do want to ask them how much they 2 Beckham, apart from his appearance and how much they know about football 3 scoring goals. It seems funny that we are crazy for things, with which we are unfamiliar or 4 we are uncertain, but we all, my friends 5 I, consider this 6 . We need these pleasures to brighten up our lives. But that doesn’t amount to craziness 7 nonsense(胡闹). As an old saying 8 : “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” We should not 9 anything from its appearance. We should all know, it is one’s good character and great contribution that 10 one a star and unforgettable. Therefore we’d better say 11 about Beckham’s good looks.
If we close our eyes, 12 in deep thought, we can find that the things 13 us to be in truth happy, sad or moved 14 a clear meaning. If we don’t go deeper and just satisfied with superficial things, 15 we will find that we have not really gained anything 16 our first impression has blinded and misled us, and we’ll remain ignorant 17 we realize that and make some changes.
It is believed that thinking and going deeper than before is sign of great 18 . If one day we are willing to go deeper into everything, no matter how much it 19 us, we will finally prove how much we have grown up, how much more sensible, mature, and intelligent we have 20 .
1. A. to B. on C. in D. at
2. A. learn from B. learn C. know D. know about
3. A. rather than B. except for C. except D. apart from

本文是一篇具有一定哲理和教育意义的、夹叙夹议的议论文。文章通过讲述“盲目追星”这
一事例，阐明了“看问题不要只看表面，而要‘Go Deep’注重内含”这一论点。
解题指导：
1.A 介词的固定搭配，“在某种程度上”。
2.D know about “了解”从下文中也能找到相同的短语。
3.D apart from “除„„外，还有„„”，具有“附加性质”。其他选项具有“排他性质”。从上文中也能找到相同的短语。
4.C 此题为“介词+关系代词”引导定语从句，about 与be uncertain搭配。
5.B 从上文中的we all判断，“不仅仅是我，还有我的朋友”。
6.A 从结构上判断，此句含有宾语和宾补结构，宾语为this，后用单数。从下文的意义上判断，为“生活中的乐趣之一”。
7.C 否定句中用or连接。“不要达到疯狂和胡闹的程度”。
8.D “正如俗语所说的”，此四个选项都有“说”之意，然而它们都有自己的搭配，A. speaks“说语言，演讲”；B. talks “交谈”；C. tells“告诉”；如用says是正确的，此题中的goes与says同义。
9.B judge„by„或judge„ from„“根据„„判断”，从上句中能找到相同的意义。
10.A “是一个人好的品德和贡献才得以成为明星”。make 之后接复合宾语。
11.D 从上下文意义上判断，“在外貌上要少说”。
12.C 从句子结构上分析，用现在分词形式作伴随状语。
13.A 从句子结构上分析，此处为定语从句，that代替先行词things，所以谓语用复数形式，关系代词在从句中作主语，that 不能省略。
14.B 此句的句子结构较复杂，主语是前面的the things ，此题要填谓语动词，由于主语和谓语之间有一个定语从句，造成了句子的复杂性。意义为“„„有明确的意义”。
15.D 从意义上判断，“如果我们不注重内含，满足表面的东西，迟早会发现我们将一无所获”。
16.C 从句子的连接上分析有“因果”关系。
17.C 从意义上判断，“除非我们意识到这点并做某些改变，否则的话„„”。
18.B 从意义上判断，“更注重内含是一个人进步（成熟）的象征”。
19.B pains在此为及物动词，意为“费（苦）心”，这种意义与上下文是相通的。
20.D 根据句子结构判断，应该用系动词。

What is it that you love to do but never feel that you get it quite right? Perhaps you don’t even try any more because you think what you do is not 1 enough.
Discouragement seems to follow us a good part of the time, 2 however hard we work, it seems that there is 3 someone else who can do it much better.
I have always enjoyed music and it is 4 to me that every musician has a 5 of their own. My father 6 several instruments and when he played with other people, it was not difficult to 7 his sound in a group. Whether it was guitar or another instrument, he had his own 8 sound.
I 9 heard of a music teacher who commented to a discouraged student,“ 10 else can make the sound that you make.” The sound that you make may not be the same as someone else’s, but who is to say which is 11 .It is said that,“ 12 is in the eye of the beholder.” Perhaps it could be said that a delightful sound is in the ear of the 13 .
Every person has a different tone of voice that 14 only to them, 15 we all know people with an unforgettable laugh or a way of 16 that is unique to them. It might not be the sound of your music or your voice at all. It 17 be the way you whistle or the sound of your footsteps.
Each person has a(n) 18 on the world in some way. Someone else can do what you do, but they cannot do it 19 in the same way that you do it. The next time you feel 20 ,remember nobody else can make the sound that you make.
