He had spent so much time considering it that he couldn’t 51   like that. His hands were hot and sticky and his mouth felt dry. At last the door of the office opened .

The managing director then appeared at the office door. “Would you like to come in now, Mr Davis? I’m sorry to have kept you waiting.” James suddenly  54   that he had gone home after all.

试题分析:
小题1:.B 通读全文可知,在面试的等待的时候,他非常紧张。  
小题2:C 从短文的情景看,显然是James自己不知如何是好。   
小题3:C 后暗示题。下文有for nearly an hour和…an hour earlier。   
小题4:A 该文除James外,还谈到了另外一个应聘者(a woman)的情况。James—nervous, the woman—confident,两人形成了对比,所以选A。   
小题5:B由于自己紧张,女应聘者自信,再加上女应聘者“had been in there for nearly an hour”,所以该空用sure符合短文大意。   
小题6:D 上下文串联。他是来参加面试希望得到那份工作,而这位女应聘者似乎已经得到了。
小题7:D 后暗示题,下文中的“…such a lot before the day of the interview. He had imagined himself…”说明James对应聘这份工作很重视,极想得到这份工作,所以选 so much。
小题8:A 因为“极想得到这份工作”,所以“It meant everything to him”. happiness较everything过于具体、片面。   
小题9:C 后暗示题。从下句中“He had imagined himself…”可看出他是在想,而非做梦。   
小题10:B explaining, answering, writing都是表示单项的、具体的动作。performing可以表示应聘面试时总的表现情况,填在空缺处更符合文意。   
小题11:C imagine的搭配(动名词),想象“被给工作”时的情景。   
小题12:D “But”表示语义上的转折,说明现在的感觉与前一天的想象截然不同,所以feeling后应填一个表示“糟糕”的词。   
小题13:D情急之下,James记不住事先计划好的台词。   
小题14:C 动词辨析。A拥有B教C计划D供应;James记不住事先计划好的台词。
小题15:A 前后暗示题。他几乎要站起来离开,而不是进去。   
小题16:C 三个短语take back(收回)、put off(推迟)、put down(镇压、写下来)都常做及物动词, give up(放弃)既可做及物动词,也可做不及物动词,填在这里,既符合语意,又符合句子结构。   
小题17:B语意题。她对自己的表现很满意。   
小题18:D看到她得意的表情,James更相信她抢了自己的工作,所以恨她
小题19:C “that he had gone home after all”是虚拟语气形式,表达与事实相反的愿望,四个选项中只有 wish才有这种用法。   
小题20:A 由于紧张,双腿颤抖,额头冒汗。要填的为独立主格结构中的现在分词shaking。
点评:这篇短文主要描写James在办公室外面等候应聘面试时的心理活动,通篇以James的紧张、忧虑为主线。本文设空合理,考查全面,对于心理描写十分到位,要根据上下文的语义串联全文。着重词义的辨析,要求根据上下文的语境来判断使用词汇。

                            C
Have you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated unfairly? Have you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it?  Many people are afraid to support themselves. Dr. Robert Albert, author of Stand Up, Speak Out, and Talk Back,thinks it’s because their self-respect is low. “There s always a ‘superior’ (长辈) around ˉa parent, a teacher, a boss—— who knows better.” But Albert and other scientists are doing something to help people help themselves. They offer “assertiveness(维护) training” courses——A.T. for short. In the A. T. Course people learn that they have a right to be themselves. They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so. They learn to be aggressive (进攻的) without hurting other people. In one way, learning to speak out is to get rid of fear. A group taking an A. T. Course will help the timid (懦弱的) person to lose his fear. But A. T. uses an even stronger motive (动机)——the need to share. The timid person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels. Whether or not you speak up for yourself depends on your self-respect. If someone you face is more “important” than you, you may feel less of a person. You start to doubt your answers to problems. You can get to feel good about yourself. And once you do you can learn to speak out.

I live in a big city with a lot of homeless(无家可归的) people. Luckily there’re small ways of helping them and you needn’t have a lot of   31 . One way to help is to buy their monthly magazine. By doing this one day, I got to   32  a young homeless man. He was often   33  the magazine at the train station.
He was a poor farmer from another country. After a while, I discovered that his   34  was close to mine. It   35__ that we were born in the same month.
I met him last year shortly   36  his birthday, and after congratulating(祝贺) him, without thinking, I asked if he had had a good day. He   37  and said that he hadn’t really celebrated(庆祝). I felt so   38__.
I just couldn’t help(情不自禁) thinking of this nice, young man being    39  on his 25th birthday with no presents, no cake, nothing! So I went home and looked in my yarn(毛线) basket.   40  for me, I had enough yarn left. I set to work and knitted(编织) a   41  for the young man. The yarn had become a little dirty   42  I didn’t knit very often. Then I washed the yarn so the scarf(围巾) would be clean when he got it.
I met him on my own birthday as I was going shopping. I had   43  to meet him so I had carried the scarf and a piece of my own birthday   44  around with me. He was very happy with these gifts and so was I. The   45  in his eyes was the best present he could have given me!

Writing a long book seemed to be too much for me. So, for a long time, I just wrote short articles. One day, inspiration(灵感) for an article hit me and, as I started writing, paragraphs began flowing out fast. It turned out to be too long to be an article. I thought it would not hurt to try self-publishing a booklet(小册子). The first printing of this 32-page black and white booklet sold out within a week. Here is something that I have learned through my experience.
1.Start small.
Don’t try to have a 400-page work as your first publication. I suggest you publish a booklet under 50 pages to launch your career as an author.
2.Ask for advice.
If you know some people who have published something, ask them for advice and help. You will gain useful information from them and save yourself many problems.
3.           
When you put your heart into something only to hear“We’re not interested”,you may get hurt. But you must remind yourself that this is quite common. Every“yes”you receive comes after at least five“noes”,especially at the beginning. You need to revise your book many times to reduce the chances of being turned down.
4.The more you market, the more you sell.
You can publish an excellent book. But if no people know about it, you cannot expect many buyers. Send out an e-mail to friends, family and business partners, telling them your book’s publication date. Ask them to help sell your book.
Do not be afraid to try novel ideas.
小题1:What does the underlined word“launch”in Point 1 there mean?
A.Begin.B.Develop.C.Lead.D.Describe.
小题2:What’s the best title for Point 3?
A.No one will like what you wrote at first.
B.You will get hurt by what you wrote at first.
C.Prepare for a“yes”rather than a“no”.
D.Be prepared to deal with“noes”.
小题3:According to the passage, if you want to have more copies of your book sold, you should      .
A.advertise your book in newspapers
B.try to make more people know your book
C.ask your business partners to buy your book
D.write something that people are interested in
小题4:About self-publishing a book, the writer would most probably agree that       .
A.one usually makes no money out of self-publishing a book
B.one should never self-publish a book longer than 400
C.self-publishing a book is impossible for most people
D.asking advice from people who have published a book is helpful
One rainy night many years ago ,an elderly couple entered the hall of a small hotel in Philadephia. The couple walked to the front desk hoping to get some  21  for the night. “Could you give us a  22  here?” the husband asked.
The waiter, a  23  man with a bright smile, looked at the couple and   24  that there were three meetings in town. “All of our rooms are taken,” the waiter said. “  25  I can’t send a nice couple like you out into the rain at one o’clock in the morning. Would you be  26  to sleep in my room? It’s not  27  a suite(套房),but it will be good enough to make you  28  for the night.”
When then couple refused 39 , he explained, “Don’t worry about me.”So the couple   30  . The next morning, the elderly man said to the waiter, “you are the kind of manager who should be the boss of the best   31  in America. Maybe someday I’ll   32  one for you.” The waiter looked at them and  33  .Then they drove away.
Two years passed. The waiter had almost  34  it when he received a letter from the old man. It recalled(提起)that   35  night and enclosed(附上)a round-trip to New York, asking the young man to pay them a visit.

“That is the hotel I have just built for you,” said the elderly man.
“You must be 39  ,” the young man said.

The elderly man was William Waldor-Aster, and that 40 building was the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. The young waiter who became its first  manager was George Boldt.

Armed with two over-packed suitcases, we arrived at the airport just in time for my flight. As I watched her unload my luggage, I could see the  36_ in her eyes. One last hug and a final good-bye, and I would be on my way to a new life  37 .“ You’d better go or you’ll miss your flight,” she said.
“I’ll  38  you,” I replied, and with those words I  39 . By the time I reached the customs, I was  40 . While boarding the plane I was still crying. I did not have the  41  to put my bag in the overhead locker, so I put it on the  42  seat next to mine.
Born just fifteen months apart, we not only looked alike, we were alike. We both had that same mix of  43  and fear of all things unknown to us. One sunny summer day I was playing outside when she came  44  to me and said, “ Want to come to the attic(阁楼)?” The answer was always “  45 ”. We were frightened of the attic but also  46  by its smells and sounds. Together we would get through masses of dust and look through a lot of boxes _47  we found what we needed.
The plane shook  48  and my bag fell onto the floor. My aspirin, hairbrush and some other things were  49  on the floor. I _50  over to gather them up when I saw a(an) _51  little book in the middle of my belongings. It was a diary.
Immediately I  52   my sister’s handwriting. “Hi, Sis. What a day it has been today. You let me know that you are moving abroad…” Only _53  did I realize that my sister had been  54  a diary for the past month.
I read about my sister’s comings and goings during the flight. Even though a large ocean  55  us, at some point it felt like she was actually there.

I used to live in a separate room. I loved living   36  . But one day it all changed when my brother Mike asked to  37  my room. At first, my parents said “no” to him, but at last my mother  38  . I cried and begged my parents not to do this, 39  it didn’t work.
As soon as Mike entered my room, my room began to become  40  . To my anger, he often left his unwashed clothes everywhere!
One evening, I was doing my homework on my computer while Mike was listening to music. Later, I left my  41  to get some water. A shock was  42  me when I returned. He had used my computer to play games. I had  43    to save the homework. Sadly, he closed the program  44  saving it--- all my effort had disappeared! I shouted at him at the top of my  45  . He cried a lot as my mother   46  him. My mother also asked him to leave my room  47  .
Then I did my homework once again. At 11:00PM, I  48  it. I was about to turn off my computer when I saw the  49  of my brother that he had put on my table. I looked at his lovely face and remembered how he was crying when my mom punished him. I really felt  50  for him.
I went to him. He was  51  in my parents’ bed. I kissed his forehead. He woke up, 52  and said, “I’m sorry, I won’t bring you  53  again.”
I was so  54   and I hugged him, saying, “From now on, my room is not only  55  . It is ours!”
