试题分析:

作者在商店购物,遭遇无礼店员而心生不快。于是向店方总部投诉,希图该店员被解雇。但是随着时间推移,作者平息了心中的怨愤,在店方总部让她描述店员体貌特征以便查处的时候,她放弃了继续追究。

1.考查名词词义辨识。A. reduction:减少、简化;B. choice:选择、选项;C. introduction:介绍;D. price:价格。作者在一元超市购买了油墨,后来在一家电脑商店发现了更好的油墨。电脑商店的油墨是一个更好的选项。故选择choice,B项正确。

2.考查语境理解和动词搭配。A change:改变、更换;B. return:归还;C. receive:接收;接待;D. replace:替换。据后面for some other products可知,作者是要将油墨换成其他商品,而非退货,排除B项;C项不合语境;D项与with搭配使用,即replace X with Y,用Y替代X;故选择change,change X for Y:将X换成Y。A项正确。

3.考查代词在语境中的运用。A somebody:有人、某人;B. nobody:没人; C. everybody:所有人;D. anybody:任何人。因为没有人告诉过她商店里的规定,作者将油墨放进塑料袋且将袋口扎起。这是与商店规定不相符的,因此后来才遭遇店员的无礼。选择B项。

4.考查语境理解。A bargaining:讨价还价; B. storing:储存;C. loading:装载;D. shopping:购物。作者将装有油墨的塑料袋放进购物车,开始购物。购物有一个选择过程,不可能推起购物车直接往里面装货,排除C项。故D项正确。

5.考查副词在语境中的运用。A. across:(从表面)穿过;B. up:往上;C. through:(从中间)穿过;结束(一个过程);D. down:往下。作者购物过程中,一个店员走过来拦住她。 be midway through (shopping):(购物)中途。选择C项。

6.考查动词在语境中的运用。A. carry:携带;B. show:展示;C. move:移动;D. push:推。商店里购物时不准带包。“移动”、“推”的是购物车,不是包。故选择A项。

7.考查名词在语境中的运用。A. identity:身份;B. contents:内容、容器里的东西;C. belongings:个人物品;D. ink:油墨、墨水。店员要求作者将塑料袋打开,让她查看里面的东西。店员不可能知道包里是油墨,排除D项。故B项正确。

8.考查语境理解。A. Depressed:情绪低落的;B. Shocked:震惊的;C. Amused:高兴的;D. Stressed:压力大的。作者没有想到店员像对待小偷一样,要她打开塑料袋让她查看,感到震惊。B项正确。

9.考查语境理解。A. poured:倒、倾倒;B. mixed:混合;C. showed:展示;D. fell:倒下、掉下。

作者按照要求,将油墨拿给店员看。show sth. to sb.:将某物展示给某人看。C项正确。

10.考查语境和固定搭配。A. exit:出口、退出;B. admission: 接纳、录取;C. entry:入口、进入;D. departure:离开。按照商店规定,进入商店时应该将塑料袋交给店员。upon entry/entering:进入时。故C项正确。

11.考查语境理解。 A. even though:即使;B. as if:似乎、好像;C. so that:以便;D. in case:以防。作者向四周张望、非常尴尬,好像每个人都在嘲笑她。B项正确。

12.考查名词在语境中的运用。 A. lines:队列;行;B. borders:边界;C. regulations:规章、制度;D. permissions:许可、允许。店员要作者今后遵守商店规定。C项正确。

13.考查语境理解。A criminal:罪犯;B. blue-collar:蓝领、体力劳动者;C. beggar:乞丐; D. colleague:同事。作者很是气愤,因为店员将她当成罪犯一样对待。A项正确。                

14.考查语境理解。A. number:工号;B. career:职业;C. explanation:解释;D. name:姓名。从店员咕哝的Ursula以及后来商店总部找不到该店员来判断,作者打算投诉该店员,于是问她姓名,而非工号。D项正确。

15.考查短语动词在语境中的运用。A. calmed down:冷静下来; B. thought aloud:自言自语;C. found out:发现;D. got through:顺利度过。从This employee is about to become unemployed一句判断,作者到家后依然愤怒,排除A项。因为过于愤怒,就把心里的想法脱口说了出来。B项正确。

16.考查语境理解。 A rang:打电话;B. visited:拜访;C. questioned:提问;D. blamed:指责。从下文described my unpleasant experience判断,作者并没有指责总部,排除D项;下文还提到,总部代表承诺ring back,由此可见,作者是在给总部打电话。A项正确。

17.考查语境理解。A. patient:耐心的;B. clever:聪明的;C. polite:礼貌的;D. hardworking:勤奋的。因为作者投诉店员的粗鲁无礼,总部代表回应说他们要求店员应该“礼貌”。选择C项。

18.考查语境理解。A. recognize:认出;B. inform:通知;C. describe:描述;D. forgive:原谅。因为店员报了假名,总部没能查出该店员是谁,所以让作者描述其体貌特征。C项正确。[:原谅来源:]

19.考查语境理解。A. yelling:叫喊、吼叫;B. pointing:指着;C. talking:谈话;D. lying:说谎。 总部代表说他们不能容仍店员的粗鲁行为(排除A项),同样不能容忍对顾客撒谎(他们未能查到叫做Ursula的人,说明店员报了假名)。D项正确。

20.考查语境理解。A. job:工作;B. way:道路;C. chance:机会;D. business:生意。作者开头非常气愤,投诉就是想要店方总部解雇该店员。经过这番周折,作者已经平静下来,意识到她并非真要让店员丢掉工作。选择A项。

考点:完形填空。

One evening after dinner, Mr. and Mrs. Tisich called a family meeting. “We’ve had to make a difficult decision,” Mr. Tisich announced. “You see, your mother has been offered a post as co-director of a television station in Chicago. Unfortunately, the station is not here. After thinking long and hard about it, we’ve concluded that the right decision is to move to Chicago.” Marc looked shocked, while his sister Rachel breathlessly started asking when they’d be moving. “It’s surprising, but exciting!” she said. Marc simply said, “We can’t go—I can’t leave all my friends. I’d rather stay here and live with Tommy Lyons!”

The Tisichs hoped that by the time they moved in August, Marc would grow more used to the idea of leaving. However, he showed no signs of accepting the news, refusing to pack his belongings. When the morning of the move arrived, Marc was nowhere to be found. His parents called Tommy Lyon’s house, but Mrs. Lyons said she hadn’t seen Marc. Mrs. Tisich became increasingly concerned, while her husband felt angry with their son for behaving so irresponsibly.

What they didn’t know was that Marc had started walking over to Tommy’s house, with a faint idea of hiding in Lyons’s attic(阁楼) for a few days. But something happened on the way as Marc walked past all the familiar landscape of the neighborhood: the fence that he and his mother painted, the tree that he and his sister used to climb, the park where he and his father often took evening walks together. How much would these mean without his family, who make them special in the first place? Marc didn’t take the time to answer that question but instead hurried back to his house, wondering if there were any moving cartons(纸板箱)the right size to hold his record collection.

1.The conflict(冲突) in this story was caused by_________.

A. Marc and Rachel’s different attitudes

B. a quarrel between Tommy Lyons and Marc

C. Marc’s disagreement with his parents about their move

D. Mr. And Mrs. Tisich’s comment of Marc’s irresponsibility

2.Marc and Rachel’s reactions to the move were similar in the way that both were________.

A. surprised                     B. angry and upset

C. anxious for more details         D. worried about pacing

3.The reason for Marc’s going home was that_________.

A. he did not want to be left behind

B. he realized his family was important to him

C. he hoped to reach an agreement with his parents

D. he wished to be a more responsible person

4.What would most likely happen next?

A. Marc would bring his records over to the Lyons’s house.

B. Mr. and Mrs. Tisich would call the police.

C. Marc would join his family for house moving.

D. Mr. and Mrs. Tisich would start searching for Marc.

The world is filled with smart, talented, educated and gifted people.We meet them every day A few days ago, my car was not running well.I pulled it in to a garage and the young mechanic had it fixed in just a few minutes.He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine.I was amazed.The sad truth is that great talent is not enough.

 I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn. I heard the other day that less than 5 percent of Americans earn more than $100,000 a year. A business consultant who specializes in1 the medical trade was telling me how many doctors and dentists struggle financially. It was this business consultant who gave me the phrase, “They are one skill away from great wealth.”

There is an old saying that goes, "Job means 'just over broke(破产)’".And unfortunately, I would say that the saying applies to millions of people.Because schools do not think financial intelligence is intelligence, most workers "live within their means".They work and they pay the bills.Instead I recommend to young people to seek work for what they will learn, more than what they will earn.

When I ask the classes I teach, “How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonald's?” almost all the students raise their hands. I then ask, “So if most of you can cook a better hamburger, how come McDonald's makes more money than you?” The answer is obvious: McDonald's is excellent at business systems. The world is filled with talented poor people. They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger.

1.The author mentions the mechanic in the first paragraph to show that      

A.he is just one of the talented people

B.he is ready to help others

C.he has a sharp sense of hearing

D.he knows little about car repairing

2.The underlined part in the third paragraph can be best replaced by____   

A.spend more than they can afford

B.do in their own way

C.1ive in their own circle

D.1ive within what they earn

3.Why do talented people earn so little according to the author?

A.They don’t work hard enough

B.They lack financial intelligence.

C.They don't make full use of their talents

D.They have no specialized skills.

4.The main purpose of the author is to tell us____      

A.how young people can find a satisfactory job

B.What schools should teach about finance

C.why so many talented people are poor

D.how McDonald's makes much money
