【小题2】A 晚上他要在“超市”兼职收银员三个小时。后文47空前ACE Supermarket与此处照应。
【小题3】D 当彼得拖着沉重的脚步回到家时,常常已经接近“半夜”了。midnight“半夜”;morning“早上”;noon“中午”;evening“晚上”
【小题4】C 彼得工作非常刻苦是为了“赡养”他年迈的老人。support“供养,赡养”;settle“解决,安排,定居”;impress“使印象深刻,使铭记”;treat“招待,对待”。

【小题11】C 没有一丝“犹豫”,彼得赶到了最近的警局,把钱包交给了当晚“值班”的警官。hesitation“犹豫”;success“成功”;fear“恐惧,害怕”;doubt“怀疑”。
【小题12】B 见上题解析。on duty“值班”;on behalf of“代表”;on watch“警戒,监视”;on purpose“故意地”。
【小题13】C 吃惊地看到有人把这么一大笔钱“原封不动的”上交了,警官说彼得是其他人“尊敬”的道德模范。untouched“未触动过的,原样的”;unfinished“未完成的”;unused“未使用的”;unexpected“出人意料的”。
【小题14】B 见上题解析。look up to“尊敬”;look at“看”;look down on“瞧不起”;look forward to“盼望,期盼”。
