While Andrew was getting ready for work one Friday morning, he announced to his wife that he had finally decided to ask his boss for a salary raise. All day Andrew felt nervous.   36   Mr. Larchmont refused to   37  his request? Andrew had   38   so hard in the last 18 months.  39  , he deserved a wage increase.
The thought of walking into Larchmont’s office left Andrew weak   40  . Late in the afternoon he finally gathered the   41   to approach his superior. To his   42   and surprise, the ever-frugal (一贯节省的) Harvey Larchmont agreed to give Andrew a   43  !
Andrew arrived home that evening,   44   their dining table set with their best china, and candles lit. His wife, Tina, had prepared a delicate meal   45   his favorite dishes. Immediately he   46   someone from the office had tipped her off!
Next to his plate Andrew found a beautiful lettered   47  . It was from his wife, which read: “  48  , my love! I knew you’d get the raise! I prepared this dinner to show just how much I love you. I’m so   49   of your accomplishments!” He read it and stopped to   50   how sensitive and caring Tina was.
After dinner, Andrew was on his way to the kitchen   51   he observed a second card had slipped out of Tina’s pocket. He picked it up. It read: “Don’t worry about not getting the raise! You do deserve one! I prepared this dinner to show you just how much I love you   52   you didn’t get the increase.”
Tears   53   in Andrew’s eyes. Total acceptance! Tina’s support for him was not   54   upon his success at work.
The fear of rejection is often softened and we can undergo almost any setback or rejection when we know someone loves us   55   our success or failure.

解析【小题1】D主要测试连词。所给选项的意思如下：what about =" how" about“、、、怎么样？”；how come“怎么回事、怎么搞的”；what if “如果、、、该怎么样？”。再根据行文可知以下句子：All day Andrew felt nervous． 36 Mr．Larchmont refused to 37 his request?的译文：一整天Andrew都感觉到紧张。如果（what if）Mr．Larchmont拒绝同意（grant）他的要求该咋办？
【小题1】A主要测试动词。四个选项的意思分别如下：同意、承认；承认、接纳；提交、服从；保证、确保。再结合上面第36题的解释可以选出最佳答案：grant。
【小题1】C主要测试动词。文章开头已经点出：Andrew 去“上班”。所以句子：Andrew had 38 so hard in the last 18 months．译文如下：过去的18个月，Andrew工作（work）如此努力。
【小题1】B主要测试副词。四个选项的意思分别如下：最后；当然、一定；成功地；高效地。参考上面第38题的解析，句子：39 , he deserved a wage increase．的译文如下：当然，他的工作应该增长。
【小题1】B主要测试介词短语。此处的译文：走进Larchmont办公室的意念让Andrew双腿发软（at the knees）。
【小题1】D主要测试名词。四个选项的意思分别如下：思想；武力、势力、暴力；力气、力量；勇气。具体语境中句子：Late in the afternoon he finally gathered the 41 to approach his superior的译文如下：下午晚些时候，他终于鼓足勇气（courage）去找上司。
【小题1】C主要测试名词。四个选项的意思分别如下：震惊、惊恐；乐趣、享受；欣喜、愉快、高兴、乐事；惊异、惊愕。此处应该指：令Andrew高兴（delight）而且惊讶的是一贯节省的Harvey Larchmont同意给Andrew涨工资（raise）。
【小题1】D主要测试动词。参考上面第42题的解释及所给四个选项的意思：赞扬、称赞；奖品、奖学金；报答、奖赏；加薪、提高，可知选择：raise最佳。
【小题1】A主要测试动词。根据行文可知：Andrew得以加薪后非常高兴，到家后，惊讶的发现（to find）餐桌上放着精美的瓷器，点着蜡烛。妻子，Tina已经准备了丰盛的饭菜，包括（including）他最喜欢的菜。
【小题1】C主要测试介词。参考上面第44 题的解析可以选出最佳答案：including。
【小题1】C主要测试动词。根据行文可知句子：Immediately he 46 someone from the office had tipped her off!译文如下：Andrew马上想到（figured）办公室有人告诉妻子了。再结合四个选项的意思：理解；认出、识别出；想到、料想；预测，可知最佳选择：figure。
【小题1】B主要测试名词。四个选项的意思分别如下：信、字母；便条；信封；邮件。根据具体的行文可知句子：Andrew发现盘子旁边有一精美的便条（note）。结合实际，这是妻子，Tina放的为了提醒丈夫，Andrew，故此选择：note最佳。
【小题1】C主要测试名词。根据行文可知：上面已经结束老板给Andrew加薪了，所以做妻子的要祝贺（congratulations）。因此，留个便条，内容如下：祝贺你，亲爱的！我知道你加薪了！我准备了美味的饭菜来证明我多么地爱你。我为你去的成就而自豪（proud）。
【小题1】D主要测试形容词。结合四个选项的意思：凉爽的、冷静的；值得赞扬的、可敬的；快乐的、兴高采烈的；自豪的、得意的，另外再结合上面第48提的解释可以看出最佳答案：proud。其实此处：be proud of sb 是“以、、、自豪”之意。
【小题1】B主要测试短语动词。首先，选项：D结构不正确，应该为：remind sb of 、、、，所以可以排除；其余三个选项的意思分别如下：拜访、号召；仔细考虑；反应、回馈。另外，此处意思：Andrew看着便条，停顿下来仔细考虑（reflect on）妻子，Tina怎么这么敏感，富有爱心。
【小题1】D主要测试连词。此处句子译文如下：吃晚饭后，Andrew走向厨房的路上，就在这时Andrew看到又一张卡片从妻子兜里掉出来。Andrew捡起。上面写着：“没有加薪不要伤心！你确实应该加薪的！我准备了这顿饭来证明：即使（even though）你没有加薪，我也是多么爱你。此处，when意思“就在那 / 这时突然、、、”。例如：the children were swimming in the river when it began to rain。孩子们正在河里游泳，就在这时，天突然下起了雨。
【小题1】B 主要测试连词。参考上面第51题的解析，再结合所给选项的意思可以选出最佳答案。
【小题1】A主要测试动词短语。四个选项的意思分别如下：涌出、涌现；溢出（通常指液体流出）；冲出、突然出现；流下来（像小溪一样，比较细长等）。再参考下文的陈述，尤其是最后一段的意思（可以参考第55题的解释），我们可知：Andrew被妻子Tina的做法感动了，所以Andrew眼中突然涌出（well up）眼泪。
【小题1】C主要测试形容词。此处主要考查：be conditional on / upon sth “以、、、为条件”例如：The sale of the painting was conditional on the expert’s agreement that it was an original Rembrandt. 这幅画的出售须要有专家认可它确是伦勃朗的原作才行。文章中句子： Tina’s support for him was not 54 upon his success at work的译文如下：妻子，Tina对Andrew的支持不是以Andrew工作的成功为条件的。
【小题1】D主要测试介词。四个选项的意思分别如下：尽管；没有；两者之一、也、而且；不管、不顾。根据行文此处译文如下：当我们知道不管（regardless of）成功或失败都有人爱我们的时候，我们差不多可以接受任何挫折或拒绝。

Entrants（参加者）were to tell an interesting story about their    39   . Winners would receive a phone call from Mrs. Santa Claus（女圣诞老人）! Mrs. Claus would award（奖励） the lucky child free    40    of a local store.

     Well, the call came. My mother talked to Mrs. Claus and then    41    the phone to me. I didn’t    42    the fact that many people were listening to our conversation. However, the fact that this lady had a    43    connection to Santa, that was important.

I recently heard a story about a famous scientist who had made several very important medical breakthroughs. He was being interviewed by a reporter who asked him    36   he thought he was able to be so much more    37   than the average person.

He    38   that it all came from a(n)   39   with his mother that occurred when he was about 2. He had been trying to remove milk from the fridge when he    40   the slippery(光滑的) bottle, its contents running all over the kitchen floor.

When his mother came in,    41   shouting at him or giving him a lecture, she said, "Robert, what a great and wonderful    42   you have made! I have    43   seen such a huge pool of milk. Well, the damage has already been    44  . Would you like to get down and    45   in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?"

Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, "Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to    46   everything to its proper order. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge(海绵), a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer?" He chose the sponge.

His mother then said, "You know, what we have here is a    47   experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two    48   hands. Let's go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can make it." The little boy learned that if he    49   the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful    50  !

This scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn't need to be    51  to make mistakes. Instead, he learned that mistakes were just    52   for learning something new, which is,    53  , what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment "doesn't   54  ," we usually learn something    55   from it.

When I began my high school years, I was quite interested in biology. I read lots of books of my father’s about animals, and I was   36   much educated about such matters as a 16-year-old could be.

    One Sunday afternoon, I was   37  with friends about animals. I said the whale（鲸鱼）was   __38  a mammal animal. They disagreed. Finally, I called a   39   over to help settle the matter. I knew I was  40  , so I was looking forward to the teacher  41   I was right. My friends were eager for an opposite answer. We asked her   42  the whale was a mammal. “No, the whale is a fish,” she said without a moment’s   43  .

You could have knocked me over with a feather. My   44   was hurt because I lost the argument, but that wasn’t the main reason I was too  45  to speak. I still knew I was right, which   __46  the teacher was wrong. Not only was she wrong,   47   she was completely ignorant（无知的） about something I thought was   48   knowledge. But she was a teacher who had taught a long time. Everyone   49   her and no one else thought she could be wrong.

__50  that, I hadn’t known grown-ups could be wrong. This   51  shaped the way I viewed people as I grew up.   52   I found anyone treated another person with too much respect and admiration, I thought——and still think——“   53   silly.” From that point on, I had no  54__ for authority（权威）.
