Carolyn Stradley is the founder of C&S Paving Ine.(铺路公司)in Atlanta,USA.In the following account,she recalls the job that challenged her 36 and skill but left her flying high.
“When the Atlanta Airport was under 37 in 1979,we were a new company struggling to make it.National Car Rental wanted to have 2500 square meters of dirt paved 38 the cars could be on site 39 the airport opened,and the official opening was only ten days away! 40 other local paving company wanted to do the job, 41 it couldn’t be done in such a short time.”
“Because we were new and really needed the work,we were 42 to try harder.We gave National Car Rental our offer and 43 our best effort to get the job finished within ten days.We also 44 them that if we failed,they would be no worse off, 45 they had plenty to gain if we succeeded.”
“We got the job and immediately went into 46 .Working at night needed lights,so I rented a machine to produce electricity for the site.Our 47 challenge was to keep the rock mixture 48 enough.All the available water wagons(洒水车)were rented out for the airport construction,and we certainly couldn’t afford to buy a new one. 49 ,I got a special 50 to rent fire engine hoses(消防水龙带)and connect them to nearby hydrants(消防);then I 51 held one of those hoses to 52 down the rock.”
“Those ten days were filled with challenges that 53 one creative idea after another.Nine days later,the night before the airport opened,National Car Rental was the 54 company that had cars on the parking lot.”
“The key to our success was having the 55 to take on any job and then being creative in our approach to getting it done.”

36-55 CADDC ADBCB BABDC BDADA
36.答案:C
解析:imagination 意为“想象力”。根据短文的最后一句话“The key to our success was having the courage to take on any job and then being creative in our approach to getting it done.”可判断出Carolyn Stradley回忆了挑战她的想象力的工作,因为只有具有想象力才能有创造性。kindness意为“仁慈,亲切,好意,善意”;patience意为“耐性,忍耐”;experience意为“经验,体验,经历,阅历”。
37.答案:A
解析:construction意为“建设”。根据下文中的“National Car Rental wanted to have 2500 square meters of dirt paved so the cars could be on site...”可判断出在1979年the Atlanta Airport在建设中,因为只有建成后才能开放。repair意为“修理,修补”；control意为“控制,支配,管理,调节,抑制”；development意为“发展”。
38.答案:D
解析:so意为“以便,为了”。so用于so that 结构,口语常将 that 省略。句意为“当机场开放时,汽车能够开到工地现场”。after 意为“在……之后”；as意为“当……的时候”；for意为“因为”。
39.答案:D
解析:when引导时间状语从句,表示当机场开放时。while引导时间状语从句时,从句的谓语动词必须是延续性动词。since 意为“自从”,与现在完成时连用表示动作从过去的某个时候开始,一直延续到现在的动作或存在的状态。where引导地点状语,意为“在……地方”。
40.答案:C
解析:no意为“没有”。根据下文中的“it couldn’t be done in such a short time”可判断出没有任何一个公司在这么短的工期内完成这项任务。故选C项。some表示“某一个”。any用于肯定句意为“任何一个”,表示任何一个公司都能完成。every意为“每一个”。
41.答案:A
解析:state意为“声明,陈述,规定”。下文中的“it couldn’t be done in such a short time”作其宾语,表示声称不能在如此短的时间内完成任务。report意为“报导,汇报,报到,告发”;tell意为“告诉,说,吩咐,断定”;warn意为“警告,注意,通知”。
42.答案:D
解析:willing意为“乐意的,自愿的,心甘情愿的”。根据上文中的“Because we were new and really needed the work”可判断出因为是新开办的公司,又真的需要工作,所以乐意做这项工作。able意为“能……的,有才能的,能干的,能够的”；nervous意为“神经紧张的,不安的”；afraid意为 “害怕,担心”。
43.答案:B
解析:promise意为“允诺,答应”。表示答应尽力在这段时间内完成任务。故选B项。support意为“支撑,扶持,支持,支援,拥护,维持,赡养,忍受”；continue意为“继续,连续,延伸”；improve意为“改善,改进”。
44.答案:C
解析:remind意为“提醒,使想起”。表示提醒他们。ask意为“问,要求,需要,邀请”；surprise意为“使惊奇”；demand意为“要求,需要,要求知道,查询”。
45.答案:B
解析:but意为“但是”。根据“they would be no worse off ”和“they had plenty to gain if we succeeded”之间的关系可判断出它们表示转折关系,所以要but连接。though 意为“虽然”；as意为“因为”；unless意为“如果不”。
46.答案:B
解析:action意为“动作,作用,战斗,行动,举动,行为”。go into action意为“投入战斗”,表示他们马上行动起来。discussion意为“讨论”；practice意为“实行,实践,实际,惯例,习惯,练习,实习,开业”；production意为“生产,产品,作品”。
47.答案:A
解析:next意为“下一次,其次”。根据上文中的“Working at night needed lights,so I rented a machine to produce electricity for the site.”可判断出他们的第一个挑战是需要灯光,下一个挑战是使岩石的混合物保持潮湿。first意为“第一的”；past意为“过去的,结束的”；previous意为“在前的,早先的”。
48.答案:B
解析:wet意为“湿的,潮湿的”。根据下文中的“All the available water wagons were rented out for the airport construction,and we certainly couldn’t afford to buy a new one.”可判断出使岩石的混合物保持足够潮湿。cold意为“寒冷的,使人战栗的”;loose意为“宽松的,不精确的,不牢固的,散漫的,自由的”;clean意为“清洁的,干净的,清白的”。
49.答案:D
解析:instead意为“代替”。根据上文中的“All the available water wagons were rented out for the airport construction,and we certainly couldn’t afford to buy a new one.”可判断出由于洒水车都被别人租用了,所以他们用消防水龙代替。naturally意为“自然地”；obviously意为“明显地”；meanwhile意为“其时,其间”。
50.答案:C
解析:permit意为“许可,允许,准许”。因为租用消防水龙需要特许。excuse意为“原谅,申辩,作为……的托辞,为……免去”。order意为“次序,顺序,正常(工作)状态,秩序,会议规则,命令,定购,定单”。reason意为“理由,原因,动机”。
51.答案:B
解析:personally意为“亲自地,以个人”。表示Carolyn Stradley亲自浇水。exactly意为“正确地,严密地”；angrily意为“愤怒地”；hardly意为“几乎不”。
52.答案:D
解析:water意为“浇水”。根据上文中“Our next challenge was to keep the rock mixture wet enough.”可判断出要保持岩石混合物足够潮湿就必须往岩石上浇水。pull意为“拉,拖,拔”；knock意为“敲,敲打,敲击,(使)碰撞”；hit意为“打击,打,碰撞,”。
53.答案:A
解析:require意为“需要”。表示需要想出一个又一个主意的挑战。mix意为“使混和,混淆,混合”；follow意为“跟随,追随,沿……而行,理解,遵循,从事”；form意为“形成,构成,排列,(使)组成”。
54.答案:D
解析:only意为“唯一的,单独的”。根据上文的内容可判断出因为National Car Rental在飞机场请C&S Paving Inc.建造了停车场,所以它是唯一一个在机场有停车场的公司。best意为“最好的”；last意为“最后的,临终的,末尾的,最近的”；second意为“第二，另一个,又一个”。
55.答案:A
解析:courage意为“勇气”。根据上文的内容可判断出当时没有一个公司愿意承担这项任务,但C&S Paving Inc.接受了挑战,完成了任务,这需要勇气。interest意为“兴趣,关心,重要性,影响”；hope意为“希望”；chance意为“机会,可能性,偶然性”。

Hill enrolled（注册） in a wig-making 28 in New York．Back home with what she learned, she started making wigs that she planned to 29 for $300 each．

Hill pays 34 the donations with profits from her other products． 35 , she and her husband have also spent much of their savings keeping the organization running．
Hill’s customers can’t thank her enough．Elyssa Montoya was too 36 to be seen in public with her 37 thinning hair．“I didn’t feel I could show my bald head outside．Thanks to Mika, I now have beautiful hair, and feel 38 about myself again．”
“Seeing their self-confidence 39 after they try on their wigs,” says Hill, “brings 40 to my eyes．This is a job for me, and a most rewarding one．”
