5．It→There。考查固定句型。表示“毫无疑问”常用句式There is no doubt that...

4．wasting→wasted。考查被动语态。time是动作waste的承受对象，故应用被动语态。

3．them→it。考查指代关系。money是不可数名词，应用it来代替。

2．much→more。考查形容词比较级的构成。由句中的than可知此处要用比较级，precious用“more+形容词原级”来构成形容词的比较级。

[答案]

1．go→goes。考查主谓一致。本句中the saying作主语，是单数，谓语动词go应用第三人称单数形式。

After the birth of my second child, I got a job at a restaurant. Having worked with an experienced __1__ for a few days, I was __2__ to wait tables on my own. All went __3__ that first week. When Saturday night came, I was luckily __4__ the tables not far from the kitchen. __5__， I still felt it a little hard to carry the heavy trays(托盘)．

Before I knew it, the __6__ was full of people. I moved slowly, __7__ every step. I remember how __8__ I was when I saw the tray stand near the tables; it looked different from the one I was __9__ on. It had nice handles(手柄)，which made it __10__ to move around. I was pleased with everything and began to __11__ I was a natural at this job.

Then, an old man came to me and said, “Excuse me, dear, my wife and I loved __12__ you work. It seems your tray stand has been very __13__ to you, but we are getting ready to __14__ now, and my wife needs her __15__ back.”

At first his __16__ did not get across. “What was he talking about！” Then I got it. I had set my trays on his wife’s orthopedic walker (助步器). I stood frozen as ice, but my face was __17__. I wanted to get into a hole and __18__.

Since then, I have learned from many mistakes such as the one I just __19__. I have learned to be more __20__ and not to be too sure of myself.

[答案]

1．D。名词词义辨析。前文说在饭店找到一份工作，后文出现了carry the heavy trays (托盘)，可以推知“我”是在和有经验的服务员一起干。

2．C。动词词义辨析。该句前面提到跟随一位有经验的服务员干了几天，所以就允许自己独自为顾客服务了。其他动词不符合语境意思。

3．A。副词词义辨析。从下文来看，周日那几天All went well that first week.“一切都很顺利。”只是在周末出了一点小状况。

4．B。动词词义辨析。题意是“周六晚上，我有幸被给机会在离厨房不远的几张桌子边服务。”所以应用give，其他几个动词不合题意。

5．B。副词词义辨析。从下文的I still felt it a little hard可知尽管我给了这样一个机会，但还是感到有点困难，语义转折了，故用however然而。therefore因此；otherwise否则；finally最后，这几个词都不合语义。

6．C。名词词义辨析。既然是在饭店里当服务员，自然是饭店挤满了顾客，不会在其他地方挤满顾客。

7．A。动词词义辨析。前文提到饭店里挤满了顾客，所以自己要慢慢移动步子，“留意，当心”每一步。mind有“注意，留心”之意。其余几个不合语义。

8．D。形容词词义辨析。从空后的内容可知，当时看到的托盘与培训的不一样，有一个漂亮的手柄，很好使，所以感到很高兴。

9．B。动词词义辨析。fix“安装”；train“接受训练”；load“装载”；wait“等候”。正式上岗前要经过学习培训，所以答案应为选项B。

10．D。形容词词义辨析。正式的托盘与训练的不一样，很容易转动，故选D项。

11．A。动词词义辨析。前文说自己对店里的东西一切都很满意，所以相信自己能自然而然地干好自己的工作，故选A项。

12．C。动词词义辨析。句意是“我和妻子爱看你工作。”其他三个是使役动词，意为“让，使”，不合语义。

13．A。形容词词义辨析。useful“有用的”；familiar“熟悉的”；unusual“不普通的”；interesting“有趣的”。 句意是“好像你的托盘对你很有用。”

14．D。动词词义辨析。题意是“我们(就餐完了)要离开了。”故选D项。

15．B。由下面一段第四句话I had set my trays on his wife’s orthopedic walker(助步器)，可知选B。

16．C。名词词义辨析。idea“想法”；praise“称赞，表扬”；message“信息”；need“需要的东西”。题意是“起初我没有明白他表达的意思。”故正确答案为选项C。

17．D。形容词词义辨析。cold“冷”；full of joy“高兴”；pale“苍白的”；on fire“着火”。题意是“我像冰人一样站在那儿傻眼了，(因为做错了事)脸变得通红，像着了火一样。

18．B。动词词义辨析。从该句前部分I wanted to get into a hole可知自己当时真想找个洞藏起来，故选B项。其余选项与语义不符。

19．D。动词词义辨析。repeat“重说”；discover“发现”；correct“改正”；describe“描述”。纵观全文，作者在描述她以前亲身经历的尴尬的事情，故选D。

20．A。形容词词义辨析。从作者所描述的内容可知，她的那次失误是因为自己不仔细造成的，所以她要从错误中吸取教训，认真做事，不要对自己太自信。故选A，其他选项不合语义。

15．A。考查动词辨析。句意：我们切不可满足于仅有的一点书本知识。在这个句子中，content是及物动词，意为“使满意”。contract“订契约”；contrast“对比，对照”；contain“包括”。

14．C。defend sb.“为某人辩护”，是及物动词。

13．A。advise sb. to do sth.“建议某人做某事”；persuade sb. to do“说服了某人做某事”；suggest doing; suggest that从句“建议某人做某事”。

12．B。ce that...是固定搭配，意为“……很有可能”。
