wont get much business until lunch.” “but ill never remember the orders, and im no good 40 money. please, mom, dont 41 me. “then ill help you,” she said. i shrugged my shoulders. i thought my mothers 42 was a bad one, but i 43 . when i got to the bar the next day, i found my mother was 44 . because the weather that day was rainy and cold, people wanted hot snacks and drinks. 45 , i was really slow at taking the orders and making change. the line of people grew, and everybody seemed 46 , i was so nervous that my hands shook, and i 47 a cup into pieces. what a mess! then my mother came to 48 me, and she also showed me how to make 49 . if someone gave me $ 5 for something that cost $ 3.25, i handed over 50 quarters and a dollar and said, “75 cents makes four dollars, plus one dollar makes five.” things went more 51 after that. by the end of the day, i could remember orders, 52 the bill, and make change quickly with a smile. i was even a little 53 when the sun came out and dried up business. my mother said she was proud of me, and when she 54 that i work at the snack bar again next year, i did not even shrug. i was too busy 55 the restaurant i would open one day. 36.a. to b. for

意为：在。方面有本事。也就是说作者做买卖不太会算数。 41. 本句意思应该是：别让我去做吧。为省略句，dont make me do it. 42. 作者认为母亲要他去替班不是一个好主意。其他意义和搭配都不通。 43. 虽然觉得不好，但还是听从了母亲的安排。 44. 次日我到店里时，发现完全不是母亲所说的“要到中午才有生意”，下一句说明生意红火，所以说“母亲错了”。 45. 因为初来上班，没有经验，所以，开始的时候，应付不过来。at (the) least至少，at last 终于，at (the) most至多 46. 从上下文可知：购买的队伍越来越长，而我有业务不熟，动作缓慢，所以等待的人群好像不耐烦了。其他语义不通。 47. break sth. into pieces 把。摔得粉碎。其他词没这个搭配。 48. 母亲看到我手忙脚乱，便过来帮我。 49. 根据下句及52空后，这里应该是母亲还教我怎么找零钱.注意：make change (for) 是找零钱的意思，make a change 是做出更改的意思。make money赚钱， make coffee 冲咖啡，和上下文无关。 50. 因为53.5=1.75, 所以要找对方的钱数恰好就是：30.25（quarter）+1=1.75 51. 自那以后，事情就更加顺利了。go smoothly进展顺利 52. add up bill 把帐清理好（加起来），turn in 上缴、上交，count out不把。计算在内， take over移交，这些表达都和上下文不连贯，本句是说明作者一天下来学到了很多东西：菜单记得了，打单、找零都很快了。 53. 对于没开始做生意的作者来说，没有生意当然好（所以母亲开始给作者打气时就说“要到中午才有生意”）免得出错。但一天下来，作者已是熟练了，所以，当太阳出来，生意差了时，他甚至感到有点沮丧。discouraged指遇到困难等事（气馁），disturbed受到扰乱 54. 只有suggest的从句才用(should) do,其他没有这种结构。 55. 对未来的想象第三部分

were going to read these ones. as a leading publishing house, we are trying to make classics convenient for readers but its not as if were withdrawing the original versions. they are still there if

found down the back of your sofa are now big business! in 2005, the american artist richard princes photograph of a photograph, untitled (cowboy), was sold for $ 1, 248, 000. prince is certainly not the only contemporary artist to have worked with so-called “found photographs”a loose term given to everything from discarded(丢弃的) prints discovered in a junk shop to old advertisements or amateur photographs from a strangers family album. the german artist joachim schmid, who believes “basically everything is worth looking at”, has gathered discarded photographs, postcards and newspaper images since 1982. in his on-going project, archiv, he groups photographs of family life according to themes: people with dogs; teams; new cars; dinner with the family; and so on. like schmid, the editors of several self-published art magazines also champion (捍卫) found photographs. one of them, called simply found, was born one snowy night in chicago, when davy rothbard returned to his car to find under his wiper(雨刷) an angry note intended for someone else: “whys your car here at her place?” the note became the starting point for rothbards addictive publication, which features found photographs sent in by readers, such a poster discovered in our drawer. the whole found-photograph phenomenon has raised some questions. perhaps one of the most difficult is: can these images really be considered as art? and if so, whose art? yet found photographs produced by artists, such richard prince, may riding his horse hurriedly to meet someone? or how did prince create this photograph? its anyones guess. in addition, as we imagine the back-story to the people in the found photographs artists, like schmid, have collated (整理), we also turn toward our own photographic albums. why is memory so important to us? why do we all seek to freeze in time the faces of our children, our parents, our lovers, and ourselves? will they mean anything to anyone after weve gone? in the absence of established facts, the vast collections of found photographs give our minds an opportunity to wander freely. that, above all, is why they are so fascinating.64. the first paragraph of the passage is used to _. a. remind readers of found photographs b. advise reader to start a new kind of business c. ask readers to find photographs behind sofa d. show readers the value of found photographs 注：从下面的一段就可以知道。65. according to the passage, joachim schmid _. a. is fond of collecting family life photographs b. found a complaining not under his car wiper c. is working for several self-published magazines d. wondered at the artistic nature of found photographs注：第三段倒数第一句：he groups photographs of family life according to themes: people with dogs; teams; new cars; dinner with the family; and so on.66. the underlined word “them” in para 4 refers to _. a. the readers b. the editors c. the found photographs d. the self-published magazines 注：根据其后的说明called simply found及find under his wiper(雨刷) an angry note。67. by asking a series of questions in para 5, the author mainly intends to indicate that _. a. memory of the past is very important to people b. found photographs allow people to think freely c. the back-story of found photographs is puzzling d. the real value of found photographs is questionable 注：最后一段作出结论。the vast collections of found photographs give our minds an opportunity to wander freely. 68. the
