试题分析：本文是一篇以叙文，作者在记叙之后发表了自己的感悟。文章讲述了作者遭遇一次暴风雨而历经艰辛坚持去上班，就在作者因此而倍感疲惫和烦躁时，却收到了经理的一封电子信件。信中经理简短的几句对不顾风雨坚持来上班的人们表示了感激，这使得作者感到一天来的疲惫与烦恼一扫而光，并由此感悟到几句简短的话语可以使人的精神焕然一新。
1.B。考查动词辨析。根据语境，因为是rainstorm(暴风雨)，所以街道被雨水淹没。选项A为"中断"；C为"沉没"；D为"猛撞，崩溃"，均不合语境。句中cause sth. to be done使得…被…
2.A。考查动词辨析。因为大雨，许多人被迫回家，不能够去上班。注意被句为被动形式，从意义上可以排除选项B、C、D。
3.C。考查动词辨析。根据语境：有些人能够叫到出租车(call a taxi)。order为"订购，预定"。不合语境；search a taxi表示"搜查出租车（在车上找东西）"，也不正确。
4.C。考查名词辨析。联系上文，根据文章第一句中rainstorm一词可知答案。语境：有些人能够叫到出租车，还有写人勇敢面对暴风雨，步行去上班。当时正在下雨，所以用face the storm bravely. C选项climate为"气候（指某一地区长期的天气状况）"；scenery为"景色"；burden为"负担"，均不合文意。
5.D。考查动词辨析。联系下文可知作者"碰巧也是"去上班中的一个，happen to be表示"碰巧是…"。而used to be表示"过去常常（现在已经不再那样了）"；promise to表示"允诺去做…";deserve to do表示"理应做，值得做"，均不符合文意与语境。
6.D。考查名词辨析。根据语境：作者去了地铁，却发现大多数地铁都已经停止运行服务了，所以用service,表示"（地铁的运行）服务"。而practice表示"练习；惯例做法"；routine表示"常规；例行公事"；process表示"过程；程序"，均不符合语境。
7.B。考查介词辨析。根据语境：make one's way through the crowds of people在人群中挤出一条路。make one's way to:表示"通往…"；make one's way for:表示"让步于…"，均不合文意。
8.A。考查动词辨析。operate表示"操作，运转，运行"。作者最终发现一条地铁还在运行。cycle 表示"循环，周期"；turn表示"变得；转弯"；rush表示"冲进，匆促"，均不符合语境。
9.D。考查动词辨析。根据语意：那么多人在等待上车…；board the subway表示"木版；登车，上车（船、飞机等）"。Check表示"核查；登记"；carry"携带，搬运"；find"找到"，均不合文意。
10.D。考查名词辨析。根据语境："我"甚至无法踏上站台的台阶。Platform"站台"。其它不合语境。
11.C。考查动词辨析。根据语境：最终过了好长时间，地铁终于停在了我的那一站。联系下文Then I had to …一句可知作者先坐了一程地铁，然后又在雨中步行了几个街区。pause表示"暂停，中止"；cross表示"交叉；越过"；park表示"停车"，均不合文意。
12.A。考查形容词辨析。be wet through:浑身湿透了。（由于作者冒雨而行，在到达办公室时已经湿透了。）根据文章下一句：My co-workers and I spent most of the day drying off.作者与同事一起花费了大半天的时间才晾干也可知。其它不合语境。
13.B。考查动词辨析。要认真体会作者的情感、态度：此时由于作者浑身湿透，所以到办公室时已经是疲惫不堪了，所以此时作者的情绪应该是"沮丧的，泄气的"。这也可以根据下文形成对比：作者收到经理的E-mail而变的愉快起来。ashamed"惭愧的"；surprised"吃惊的"；puzzled "迷惑"，均不符合语境。
14.B。考查连词。when表示"就在这时"。其它不合语境。
15.D。考查副词辨析。eventually表示"最终"；hardly 表示"几乎不"；casually 表示"偶然地，随意地"absolutely 表示"完全地"。根据文意：我很感谢你们所有的不顾艰辛最终来上班的人。
16.A。考查名词辨析。句意为：…，当员工们表明他们对于工作的投入时…。devotion表示"投入"；donation 表示"捐赠"；concern表示"关心"；reaction表示"反应"。(show one's concern for sth表示"对…关心")
17.C。考查形容词辨析。联系文章，经理的这封e-mail并不长，所以用brief表示"简短的"。accurate 表示"精确的"；urgent表示"急切的"；humorous表示"幽默的"。
18.B。考查名词辨析。句意为：这封e-mail让我知道即使是简短的几句感激的话也会有很大的影响。appreciation表示"欣赏，感激"；promise 表示"诺言"；advice表示"建议"；guidance表示"指导，引导"。
19.A。考查名词辨析。句意为：暴雨和交通阻塞带来的麻烦使得"我"疲惫、烦乱。signals 表示"信号"；rules表示"规则"；signs表示"符号，迹象"，均不正确。
20.D。考查动词辨析。句意为：经理Garth的话立即使得我提起精神来，让我又面带微笑。Refreshed表示"使...生气蓬勃,提起精神,恢复精神"；correct表示"纠正"；support表示"支持"；amaze 表示"使吃惊"，均不符合语境。
