    Before I knew it, the  26  was full of people. I moved slowly,   27  every step. I remember how  28   I was when I saw the tray stand near the tables, it looked different from the one I was  29   on. It had nice handles (手柄),which made it  30   to move around. I was pleased with everything and began to  31  I was a natural at this job.

    Then, an old man came to me and said, “Excuse me, dear, my wife and I loved __32  you work. It seems your tray stand has been very  33  to you, but we are getting ready to  34   now, and my wife needs her  35  back.”

    At first his   36  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  37  . I wanted to get into a hole and  38  .

21 D

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。

22.  C

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。

23 A

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。

24 B

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。

25 B

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。

26. C

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。

27. A

解析: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。其余几个不合语意。

28. D

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。

29. B。

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。

30 D。

解析:正式的托盘与训练的不一样,很容易转动,故选D项。

31. A。

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。

32. C。

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。

33 A。

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。”

34. D。

解析:题意是“我们(就餐完了)要离开了。”故选D项。

35. C。

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)。

36. C。

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。

37 D。

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。

38. B。

解析:从该句前部分I wanted to get into a hole可知自己当时因遇而真想找个洞藏起来,故选B项。其余选项与语意不符。

39. D。

(陕西)Brave Frenchman Found Half?way Around the World

  “I didn't think at all,”Duret told the Daily News.“It happened very fast.I reacted very fast.”

Duret,an engineer on vacation,was walking with his girlfriend along the pier(码头)when he saw something falling into the water.He thought it was a doll,but realized it was a child when he approached the river.In an instant,he took off his coat and jumped into the water.

  When he reached the girl,she appeared lifeless,he said.Fortunately,when she was out of the water,she opened her eyes.

  Anderson said his daughter slipped off the bank when he was adjusting his camera.An ambulance came later for her,said Duret,who was handed dry clothes from onlookers.Duret caught a taxi with his girlfriend shortly after.

The rescue happened on the day before he left for France.Duret said he didn't realize his tale of heroism had greatly moved New York until he was leaving the city the next morning.

Li Lu’ou thought he did the right thing by calling 110 when he saw his two classmates in trouble on the corner of a dark street.

Li and his classmates from NO.2 Middle School Affiliated to Beijing Normal University spent this year’s Valentine’s Day selling roses on the street.As night approached,they cycled back with over 200 yuan in their pockets.

Suddenly,a gang of robbers jumped out at them.The five robbers were tall and strong,so Li ran away to call the police.He thought it would be the most practical thing to do and he was right.His classmates returned safe and sound.

So,what would you have done in Li’s situation?Would you have got off your bike and fought the robbers to rescue your friends?

A new Beijing student code does not encourage you to risk your life to help them.

The new code was introduced to more than 1.7 million primary and middle school students in the city at the start of the new term.

It has cut words which might encourage youngsters to risk their lives for others dangerous situations.Gone are the old calls,which had been in place since 1987,for students to“fight criminals courageously”and “sacrifice themselves to save others”.

Children’s heroic acts usually left them injured or even dead because they failed to fully foresee the dangers of their actions.

A well­known example was Lai Ning,who was listed among the “top 10 model young pioneers” in 1989 after he lost his life trying to put out a fire at the age of 14.

The deaths connected to teenagers’“heroic acts” started a nation­wide debate about the protection of youngsters.

Wei Lusheng,a parent in Beijing,said schools must first teach children how to protect themselves,before learning from heroes.

But educators thought the spirit of courage should not be thrown away in the new student code.

“Getting rid of the words‘fight criminals courageously’do not mean we deny the spirit of‘fearlessness’and ‘readiness’to help others.”said Li Jing,an official in Beijing.“But,we should be more rational about the spirit of sacrifice.”

Li Lu’ou agreed.“Cherishing life is no reason to be a coward,” he said.“but you need make sure you are able to offer help.For example,it would cause more trouble if I jumped into water to rescue someone drowning,but didn’t know how to swim.In that situation it’s better to call the police or an adult.”

41.Which is true about Li and his classmates?

A.They bought roses for each other on Valentine’s Day.

B.They called 110 immediately when they were held up by a gang of robbers.

C.Li risked his life for his classmates in the dangerous situation.

D.Instead of fighting the robbers Li thought it right for him to call the police.

42.The new student code was introduced in Beijing because______.

A.students are facing more danger than they used to

B.the old student code didn’t include the spirit of courage

C.the old one didn’t tell students how to protect themselves while helping others in trouble

D.the old student code encouraged students to sacrifice themselves to save others.

43.Which can be inferred about Lai Ning?

A.He was one of the top 10 model young pioneers in 1987.

B.If it weren’t him,the forest fire would not have been put out.

C.According to the new code,he shouldn’t have risked his life to put out the fire.

D.His deeds did not agree with what the old student code encouraged.

44.The underlined word“deny ”in the second last paragraph means“________”.

A.agree with                                          B.disagree with

C.connect with                                      D.object to

45.According to the new student code which of the following statements is right?

A.There will be more criminals after the new student code was introduced.

B.The police in Beijing will have a more difficult time in keeping order.

C.The spirit of“fearlessness”and “readiness”help others will be thrown away.

D.Teenagers are advised to make sure they are able to offer help when they want to.
