【试题解析】前文说在饭店找到一份工作,后文出现了carry the heavy trays (托盘),可以可知“我”是在和有经验的服务员一起干。
37. C。
【试题解析】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。其它几个动词不符合语境意思。
38. A。
【试题解析】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。
39 B。
【试题解析】题意是“周六晚上,我有幸被给机会在离厨房不远的一张桌子边服务。”所以应用give,其它几个动词不合题意。
40. B。
【试题解析】从下文的I still felt a little hard可知尽管我给了这样一个机会,但感到有点困难,语意转折了,故用however然而。therefore因此;otherwise否则;finally最后,这几个词不合语意。
41.C。
【试题解析】既然是在饭店里当服务员,自然是饭店挤满了顾客,不会在其它地方挤满顾客。
42. A。

43.D。
【试题解析】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。
44. B。
【试题解析】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。
45. D。
【试题解析】正式的托盘与训练的不一样,很容易转动,故选D项。
46. A。
【试题解析】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。
47.C。
【试题解析】句意是“我和妻子爱看你工作。”其它三个是使役动词,意为“让,使”,不合语意。
48. A。
【试题解析】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。”
49. D。
【试题解析】题意是“我们(就餐完了)要离开了。”故选D项。
50. C。
【试题解析】该句前部分出现了tray stand可知他们是想拿回“我”误拿的托盘(助步器的托盘)。
51. C。
【试题解析】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。
52. D。
【试题解析】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。

54. D。
【试题解析】repeat重说;discover发现;correct改正;describe。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。
