  The waiter came hurrying up. Before I came downstairs I had prepared __6__ carefully for what I must __7__. I had looked three times in my dictionary to make sure __8__ “breakfast” really meant “breakfast”. I had tried to get the right __9_ and I had stood in the front of a mirror and twisted my mouth until it ached.

  The waiter asked me _10__ I could not understand, but I spoke only my one prepared word “breakfast”. He looked at me in a  11 way. So I repeated it. Still he did not understand. It was 12 that English people didn’t understand their language. The waiter  13 his head and went away, but he came back in a minute and brought a tray with tea, bread and butter — enough to feed a small army — and went away. But I was hungry, and I left  14 . When the waiter came back I thought his face showed a little  15 , but you can never __16_. What a waiter’s face really shows! In another minute he brought _17__ tray with some bacon(熏肉) and some eggs. He  18 have misunderstood me, but I thought it was no use explaining to people who don’t understand their own language, so I just set to work on the bacon and eggs, wondering whether I could possibly clear that plate.

  Well, I finished the bacon and eggs. I got up and made my way slowly to my room — at least five pound  19 . I never believed until then that any meal could  20 me, but on that day I met my Waterloo(滑铁卢).

1. 整个故事都是讲作者进餐的情况,hunger 和下文的dining-room 等单词自然联系上了。

2. 饿了的时候,胃是空的。

3. however (然而;可是)多插在句子中间,有时放在句首或句末,由逗号隔开。本题空格后有逗号,故选D。

4. feed sb. = give food to sb. 提供的饭菜较好,而不单纯指吃这个动作。

5. what 在这里引导主语从句在从句中做wanted 的宾语。

6. prepare (sb.)ready for , 而且下面谈到了做准备的过程。

7. say应有宾语,句中what 起宾语作用。对我要说的话做了认真的准备。即在饭店里要用哪些词。explain要有explain sth to sb。

8. 从句子结构看,句中需要一个连接词来引导宾语从句。所以要选that而不是其他的介词。

9. 练习单词的拼写或搞懂词义不一定对着镜子练,故排除其他选项。

10. 该句的含义是:“那位男服务员问了些我听不懂的话”。如果填入D的话,句子的含义为“问我有什么不懂的”,这就违背了句子的意愿。

11. 他答非所问,男招待迷惑不解。

12. unbelievable的意思是“难以置信”。英国人不懂自己的语言,真令人难以置信。作者只是惊讶,而未遗憾。

13. 男招待摇头表示没听懂。bowed his head 表示相反的含义。

14. 他饿极了,吃光了食物,与故事开头相呼应。

15. 吃下了许多食物使这位男招待着实有点吃惊。

16. 难得说清楚这位男招待的表情。tell有“辨别”的意思。

17. another 常表示“另一 ”。如: Drink another glass of milk.

18. must have done 表示对过去事情的肯定推测。

19. heavy 是一般用语,weighty 多用于比喻。吃了许多食物,至少重了五磅。

“I was only thirteen when four of my team members and I were chosen by my swim coach to train with the Chinese National Team. The following piece shows how that experience has influenced me.”
The night before I left for China, my mother called me into her room. I entered not knowing what to expect. I sat down at the end of her very neatly-made bed, opposite the bedroom table on which she kept a Ming-style vase illustrated in great detail. She told me that my great-grandmother was still living in the surroundings of Beijing. Her name was Ren Li Ling and she was 97 years old. This was the first time I had ever heard of her.
The dragon on the vase snaked through the flowers and vines(藤蔓)as my mother said, “Pu Pu, look at me. You need to hear this so that when you go to China you will understand. You must keep this knowledge in your heart.”
She told me a story about my grandfather, Ren Li Ling's son, who left Beijing to go to college in Taiwan. She told me how the Chinese civil war kept him away from his mother for fifty years, so neither of them even knew that the other was alive. No one from Taiwan could visit, write, or call anyone in mainland. All lines of communication were cut off.
She told me of my grandfather's devotion to his own children, and how difficult it was for him to send his daughter to America for her education, fearing that same separation. He gave my mother all that he could give — nineteen years of love and fifty years of savings. I learned how my mother, through means only available in this country, would finally be able to unite my great-grandmother with my grandfather again. The dragon curled around the vase, connecting the separate vines. For a fleeting second, I felt it was present in my mother's room. It was all very strange, yet very clear. I began to understand that this trip to China was not just for me; it was for my mother, and her father, and his mother. Now, I had not only a future, but more significantly, a past. I saw the world with new eyes.
And so I went to China and met my great-grandmother. My great-aunt picked me up at the training center, and we rode in a taxi through the crowded city. The noise of the taxi and the city united into a deep roar. We finally stopped in front of a narrow street lined on either side with small one-level houses. As we made our way to a house like all the others, I drew the stares of many people in the street. My great-aunt led me through a rotting(朽烂的)doorway into a room with a furnace(炉子), table, and a rocking chair where an old woman wearing gloves sat facing the doorway, covered with a worn brown blanket. I walked over and immediately embraced this frail woman as if I had known her all my life. My limited, broken Chinese wasn't up to expressing my complicated feelings. And even though I couldn't completely understand what she was saying in her thick Beijing accent, I knew — the same way I knew what my mother had been trying to tell me before I left. Her joy shone through her toothless smile. She wouldn't let go of my hand. I haltingly(结结巴巴地)asked her how she had managed to live such a long life. She answered in words I will never forget, “Hope has kept me alive. I have lived this long because I wanted to see my son before I died.”
My fellow team members must have wondered how two people separated by three generations could be so close. Before this trip, I would have wondered the same thing. And even now, I can't quite explain it. We were as different as two people can be; some 85 years and 8,000 miles apart. We came from two entirely different cultures; yet we were connected by a common heritage(传统).
I stayed for dinner which was cooked in a black iron wok(锅)over the furnace. The meal was lavish(过分丰盛的), prepared in my honor. As I began to eat, with my great-grandmother beside me, I felt the dragon was present. But this time, the feeling didn't pass; the dragon had become a part of me.
My great-grandmother passed away last year at the age of 100. With her highest hopes and wildest dreams fulfilled, I know she died happy.
【小题1】 The writer’s mother called him into her room to ___________________.

A.prepare him for the trip and warn him against possible problems
B.remind him of his origin
C.ask him to look for his great-grandmother
D.share with him the story of her childhood

A.the vase with the dragon on it is very valuable and beautiful
B.it stands for the blood running in every Chinese
C.it is a sign of the writer’s devotion to his birthplace
D.the writer’s mother hoped the writer would be as strong as a dragon
