9.It was a quarter past nine as Marie hurried into the office building where she would be working.Her bus had inched along through heavy morning traffic,making her a few minutes late for her very first job.She decided she would start out half an hour earlier the next day.Once inside the building,she had to stand at the lifts and wait several minutes before one arrived.When she finally reached the office marked"King Enterprises,"she knocked at the door nervously and waited.There was no answer.She tapped on the door again,but still there was no reply.From inside the next office,she could hear the sound of voices,so she opened the door and went in.Although she was sure it was the same office she had been in two weeks before when she had had the interview with Mr.King,it looked quite different now.In fact,it hardly looked like an office at all.The employees were just standing around chatting and smoking.At the far end of the room,somebody must have just told a good joke,she thought,because there was a loud burst of laughter as she came in.For a moment she had thought they were laughing at her.Then one of the men looked at his watch,clapped his hands and said something to the others.Quickly they all went to their desks and,in a matter of seconds,everyone was hard at work.No one paid any mind to Marie.Finally she went up to the man who was sitting at the desk nearest to the door and explained that this was her first day in the office.Hardly looking up from his work,he told her to have a seat and wait for Mr.King,who would arrive at any moment.Then Marie realized that the day's work in the office began just before Mr.King arrived.Later she found out that he lived in Connecticut and came into Manhattan on the same train every morning,arriving in the office at 9:35,so that his staff knew exactly when to start working.

分析 本文写了作者第一天上班,匆忙来到办公室之后没有见到接待的人,相反员工们都在聊天吸烟,没有工作的,但是已到了九点三十五分之前,所有的人都忙着工作了,原来老板要来了.

解答 120.答案是B.细节理解题,根据文中句子"making her a few minutes late for her very first job."上班第一天就迟到了,所以敲门的时候感觉紧张,故答案选B.
121.答案是C.细节理解题,根据文中描写"The employees were just standing around chatting and smoking"员工们都在聊天吸烟,没有人做工作,所以答案选C.
122.答案是D.细节理解题,根据文章最后一句话""arriving in the office at 9:35,so that his staff knew exactly when to start working"老板要在九点三十五分到办公室,那是员工开始工作的时间,所以答案选D.
123.答案是D.推理判断题,老板不来就不工作,聊天吸烟一片狼藉,等到老板快到的时候就忙着工作,所有的工作状态都是做给老板看得,而不是真心的,所以答案D复合题意.
124.答案是B.从全文内容看作者,作者第一天上班,没有见到老板,也没有理睬他,也看到了公司员工的另一面,所以B选项作为题目合适.

19.In a moment of personal crisis,how much help can you expect from a New York taxi driver?I began studying this question and found the answers interesting.
One morning I got into three different taxis and announced,"Well,it's my first day back in New York in seven years.I've been in prison."Not a single driver replied,so I tried again."Yeah,I shot a man in Reno."I explained,hoping the driver would ask me why,but nobody asked.The only response came from a Ghanaian driver,"Reno?That is in Nevada?"
Taxi drivers were uniformly sympathetic when I said I'd just been fired."This is America,"a Haitian driver said."One door is closed.Another is open."He argued against my plan to burn down my boss's house.A Pakistani driver even turned down a chance to profit from my loss of hope; he refused to take me to the middle of George Washington Bridge-a﹩20 trip."Why you want to go there?Go home and relax.Don't worry.Take a new job."One very hot weekday in July,while wearing a red ski mask and holding a stuffed pillowcase with the word"BANK"on it,I tried calling a taxi five times outside different banks.The driver picked me up every time.My ride with a Haitian driver was typical of the superb assistance I received.
"Let's go across the park."I said."I just robbed the bank there.I got﹩25,000."
"﹩25,000?"He asked.
"Yeah,you think it was wrong to take it?"
"No,man.I work 8 hours and I don't make almost﹩70.If I can do that,I do it too."
As we approached 86th and Lexington,I pointed to the Chemical Bank.
"Hey,there's another bank,"I said,"Could you wait here a minute while I go inside?"
"No,I can't wait.Pay me now."His reluctance may have something to do with money-taxi drivers think the rate for waiting time is too low-but I think he wanted me to learn that even a bank robber can't expect unconditional support.

A.he was indifferent to the killing      B.he was afraid of the author

A.Because he was able to help the author to find a new job.
B.Because he wanted to go home and relax.
C.Because it was far away from his home.
D.Because he thought that the author would commit suicide.

4.Compassion (同情) is a desire within us to help others.With effort,we can translate compassion into actions.An experience last weekend showed me this is true.I work part-time in a supermarket across from a building for the elderly.These old people are our main customers,and it's easy to lose patience over their slowness.But last Sunday,one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson.This untidy marl walked up to my register with a box of biscuits.He said he was out of cash,had just moved into his room,and had nothing in his cupboards.He asked if we could let him have the food on trust.He promised to repay me the next day.
I couldn't help staring at him.I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before,and what he would be like if luck had gone his way.I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul,all alone in the world.I told him that I was sorry,and the store rules didn't allow me to do so.I felt stupid and unkind saying this,but I valued my job.
Just then,another man,standing behind the first,spoke up.if anything,he looked more pitiable,"Charge it to me,"was all he said.
What I had been feeling was pity.Pity is soft,safe and easy.Compassion,on the other hand,is caring in action.I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed,either.Then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me compassion.

16.Potato chips,which are popular everywhere today,had an unusual origin.The snack came about because of a complaint and an argument.An American named George Crum is credited with inventing potato chips.(71)F
In 1853,Crum worked in Saratoga Springs as the chef.One day a customer sent his serving of fried potatoes hack to the chef,complaining that they should have been sliced thinner.Chef Crum prepared another serving of thinner fried potatoes.The customer again returned them.By this time,Crum was angry.He thinly sliced a large number of potatoes and then salted and fried them.(72)GTo Crum's surprise,the customer loved them.The man even requested more.Afterwards,the customer left the restaurant to tell everyone about the delicious new food.
(73)EWhat is known is that Crum named his new dish"potato crunches,"although locally they became known as Saratoga Chips.When Crum opened a new restaurant,he put baskets of his chips on all the tables.Some people claimed,however,that potato crunches were not even on the menu.People who are aware of the success of the potato chip industry think it strange that Crum never patented his Saratoga Chips.
An important advance in the potato chip industry came in 1926,when Laura Scudder developed the waxed paper bag at her potato chip factory.Scudder had her workers take home sheets of waxed paper to make into small bags.The workers used their clothing irons to iron the sheets of paper.The heat from the irons quickly melted the wax,causing the sheets of paper to stick together.(74)CThe tops were then sealed with heated irons.The hags kept the chips fresher so they could be shipped to customers far away.
Three years later,a new type of fryer allowed further development in the cooking of potato chips.With the continuous fryer,many more chips could be cooked at the same time.Today,people all over the country enjoy the tasty snack.(75)B

A.In the early 1900s,things changed,and several companies around the United States began making potato chips.
B.Although the potato chip began as an accident,it is now one of America's most popular snack foods.
C.The next day,they hand packed potato chips into the bags,but the job was not quite finished.
D.They sold the chips to neighborhood stores from boxes and glass cases.
E.No one knows exactly how Crum reacted to the experience.
F.He did not,however,intend to invent anything.
G.His aim was to annoy the demanding customer.
