Question

【题目】 I worked for a short time as a cashier at a restaurant a few weeks ago. I also helped clear off the tables when it was busy. One night, just before Christmas, I found a ___________on the floor near one of the tables. I thought I should have ___________it to find out who was the owner, but I was very busy at that time. Also I imagined that if the wallet contained anything ___________, the owner should be back.

Sure enough, an hour later a man came up to the counter and asked if anyone had found a wallet. I asked him what the lost wallet looked like and after he described it ___________, I gave it to him. He expressed his true thanks when I handed it to him. He asked me if I had opened it, and when I told him "no", he immediately opened it and ___________that it contained nearly＄800 in cash. He took out a twenty-dollar bill and handed to me. I was amazed at this. "A reward(酬劳）for your ___________, young girl.” He said and then turned away.

Thinking about it later, I began _____________whether I would have been honest if I had known what was in the wallet! I thought that if I had no way to find the owner and no one returned to get it, I might_____________it. But it also came into my mind that I actually saved someone's Christmas plans by finding and returning the wallet. The good feeling it gave me was worth more than anything could buy.

【1】句意：一天晚上，就在圣诞节之前，我在一个桌子附近的地上发现了一个钱包。

考查名词辨析及语境。bag书包；wallet钱包；ticket票；book书。根据下文Sure enough, an hour later a man came up to the counter and asked if anyone had found a wallet.可知，作者捡到了一个钱包。故选B。

【2】句意：我想我应该检查一下看看谁是主人，但是我当时很忙。

考查动词辨析及语境。picked捡起，采摘；seen看见；checked检查；searched搜查，搜寻。根据空后 “to find out who was the owner”可知，要想知道钱包的主人是谁，作者应该检查一下钱包里有什么东西。故选C。

【3】句意：我还设想，如果钱包里有什么值钱的东西，主人应该会回来。

考查形容词辨析及语境。valuable有价值的；cheap便宜的；bright明亮的；necessary有必要的。根据句中 “the owner should be back.”主人应该回来，这说明钱包里有值钱的东西。故选A。

【4】句意：我问他丢失的钱包是什么样子的，他把它描述得清清楚楚。

考查副词辨析及语境。carefully仔细地，认真地；quickly快速地；proudly骄傲地；exactly准确地，精确地，恰好地。根据下句话 “I gave it to him.”我把钱包给了他，这说明他描述得非常准确。故选D。

【5】句意：当我告诉他“没有”的时候，他立刻打开了钱包，里面有近800美元的现金。

考查动词辨析及语境。expected期望，期待，预料；showed展示；呈现；found发现；counted数数。根据空前 “he opened the wallet”可知，打开钱包呈现出里面的东西，故选B。

【7】句意：后来我想了想，开始怀疑如果我知道钱包里装的是什么，我会不会诚实。

考查动词辨析及语境。realizing意识到；understanding理解；wondering想知道；discovering发现。根据句意可知，作者后来想知道如果自己知道了钱包里有那么多钱，自己还会不会那么诚实，wonder意思符合语境，故选C。

【8】句意：我想，如果我找不到失主，也没有人回来取，我可能会留着它。

考查动词辨析及语境。break打破，违背；change改变；return归还；keep保持。根据句意 “if I had no way to find the owner and no one returned to get it,”可知，在这种情况下，也许作者会自己保留着那个钱包。故选D。
