【解析】(1)根据下文作者所做的工作以及第13题前的“butcher's”可知,作者的父亲经营着一家小肉店。grocery“食品杂货店”;butcher's“肉店”;chain“链子,连锁商店”;barber's“理发店”。
(2)在父亲的店里,新手会做最不好干的活,老板的儿子也不例外。hire“雇用,聘用”;invite“邀请”;receive“收到”;train“训练”。
(3)老板的儿子也被包括在内。interest“使感兴趣”;include“包括”;affect“影响”;offer“提供”。
(4)根据第二、三两段对作者的工作的描述以及最后一段中的“I cleaned the dirty containers every Saturday afternoon”可知,作者的工作是除去冷冻室天花板上的霜冻,并弄干净放在鸡肉下面的容器。look into“审查,调查”;tear up“撕毁”;clean up“打扫干净”;carry on“继续移动”。
(5)根据下文中的“Chicken sat in wooden boxes”可知,店里每天都会收到新鲜的鸡肉。
(6) 为了保存鸡肉,周围会放一些碎冰。be surrounded with“被……包围”。impress“使铭记”;accompany“陪伴”;cook“烹调”。
(7)根据第三段中的“carefully slide the containers from under the chicken”可知,容器在鸡肉下面。
(8)只有一种办法可以去除血水并清洗容器。chance“机会”;way“方法”;place“地方”;reason“原因”。
(9)根据第二段的最后一句可知,容器里有血腥味,因此作者屏住呼吸并小心地抽出容器。hold one's breath“屏住呼吸”。
(10)作者小心地抽出容器,尽量不让里面的东西溅到衣服上。touch“触摸”;notice“注意到”;find“发现”;splash“溅在……上”。
(11)然后将容器里的脏水倒入下水道。break“损坏,破碎”;divide“分开,分散”;empty“倒空”;allow“允许”。
(12)先行词为students,空处引导定语从句,且在从句中作主语,故应用who。
(13)根据文章第一句以及最后一段的内容可知,作者暑假期间在父亲的店里打工,所以此处指暑假结束时学生们都将返回学校。adapt“适应”;walk“步行”;return“返回”;apply“应用”。
(14)有些学生会有美好的回忆,而有些学生则带着不愉快的回忆返校。前后为对比关系,因此使用while。
(15)此处应与“great”意思相反,因此选择D项。
(16)作者认为父亲本能把自己从每周的苦境中解救出来,但父亲没有那样做。spare sb from sth“使某人免去某物”。force“强迫”;treat“对待,款待”;push“推”。
(17)作者觉得为了养家而辍学的父亲实际上是自己的老师,他让作者懂得了很多做人的道理。at heart“在心里”;in fact“事实上,实际上”;in case“以防万一”;at home“在家”。
(18)作者的父亲知道区别对待自己的儿子与其他员工是不公平的。kindly“亲切地”;carefully“仔细地”;differently“不同地”;warmly“热烈地”。 (19)最重要的是,父亲教作者在生活中要理解那些从事又累又脏的工作的人。witness“目击,见证”;appreciate“理解,明白”;hurt“伤害”;influence“影响”。
(20)根据空格前的“hard and”及最后一段中的“I cleaned the dirty container”可知,应选择B项,dirty“脏的”。
