A. manager B. assistantC. cook D. waitress解析考查名词。根据上文的“I got a job at a restaurant.”以及下文的“to wait tables on my own ”可知，“我”是和一位有经验的“服务员”(waitress)一块儿工作了好几天。答案D2. A. promised B. invitedC. allowed D. advised解析考查动词。句意：在和一位有经验的服务员一起工作几天后，我被允许独立地做招待。故用allow允许。promise承诺，invite邀请，advise建议，都不符合语境。答案C3. A. left B. givenC. brought D. shown解析考查动词。“我”幸运地被“分到”(give)几张离厨房不太远的桌子。leave离开，bring拿来，show展出，都不符合语境。答案B4. A. kitchen B. streetC. restaurant D. table解析考查名词。上文提到“我”是在一家餐馆工作。不知不觉(Before I knew it)这家“餐馆”(restaurant)人满了。故选C。答案C5. A. angry B. calmC. sad D. happy解析考查形容词。由“I was pleased with everything and.”和上文提及的“I still felt it a little hard to carry the heavy trays”可知，“我”看到桌子旁边有托盘架很高兴，因为这样可以让自己更轻松地工作。答案D6. A. fixed B. trainedC. loaded D. waited解析考查过去分词。由第一段叙述可知，“我”在正式上岗之前，经过了几天的培训，显然这里提及的托盘架与之前的不一样。答案B7. A. slower B. lighterC. quieter D. easier解析考查形容词比较级。句意：这个托盘架有好的手柄，这让我在服务时来回走动更容易。故用easier。答案D8. A. letting B. makingC. watching D. having解析考查动名词。由下文老人要将助步器要回可知，夫妇二人很喜欢“观看”(watching)“我”工作，但不得不中断“我”的工作。此处的watching有“欣赏”之意。答案C9. A. useful B. familiarC. unusual D. interesting解析考查形容词。根据语境，借助于托盘架，“我”在工作时得心应手，它自然对“我”非常“有用”(useful)。答案A10. A. bag B. walkerC. tray D. coat解析考查名词。依据下文的“Then，I got it.I had set my trays on his wifes orthopedic walker.”可知，应选B。答案B11. A. idea B. praiseC. message D. need解析考查名词。起初“我”没有听明白他的意思。故用message信息。idea主意，praise赞扬，need需要，都不符合语境。答案C12. A. cold B. full of joyC. pale D. on fire解析由上句的“I stood frozen as ice”及本句中的“but”可知，此时，“我”很尴尬，脸火辣辣的(on fire)。答案D13. A. lie B. hideC. defend D. stay解析考查动词。“我”很尴尬，想找个洞钻进去“藏”(hide)起来。答案B14. A. repeated B. discoveredC. corrected D. described解析考查动词。这里提及的“the one”就是刚才“我”叙述的那次经历。故用describe。答案D15. A. careful B. patientC. honest D. practical解析考查形容词。由于粗心大意，“我”犯了一个错误，由此“我”意识到以后做事要小心谨慎，不能过于自信。答案ACloze 2 (2007年四川)It s fourteen years since I left the Philippines to live with my family in the USA. A month ago, while on summer vacation back in my motherland, I learned a lesson from mosquito (蚊子) bites. Right before leaving Kennedy Airport in New York, my grandma warned me of the behavior of the native mosquitos around the_1_like me. She said，“There s an old saying the _2_you stay away from the motherland, the sweeter your blood _3_to the mosquitos.”Not _4_it, I replied，“ Grandmaaaa, thats just an old wives tale！”Well, less than a week after my arrival in Manila, I was already carpeted with a _5_of mosquito bites. I took many measures to keep myself from being _6_， but they all proved useless.Late one night in my cousin s home, I couldn t bear the _7_of the bites. Hoping to find some comfort，I_8_my cousin, who was sleeping peacefully in the bed next to mine. Unhappy for being_9_， she said, “There is nothing you can do. Go back to sleep.” With a few turns, she slept again. Enviously (嫉妒地)_10_her sleep, I hoped a big mosquito would _11_on her face.However, the mosquitos would just lightly dance around her forehead and fly away quickly, never biting her. Amazed (惊奇的) , I ran to others_12_， only to find they were all sleeping _13_as the same thing occurred again and again.From those bites, I came to_14_my grandma s silly tale. From then on，Ive always tried to keep a (n)_15_mind about those strange old wives tales because they do have some truth to them.解读：十四年前“我”离开菲律宾到了美国，一个月之前“我”回到自己的祖国度假。蚊子叮“我”的难忘经历，让“我”意识到奶奶讲的一句俗话“the longer you stay away from the motherland，the sweeter your blood grows to the mosquitos.”有一定的道理。从那以后“我”意识到要多角度考虑并接受那些让人感觉奇怪的俗话，因为它们的确有道理。1. A. students B. foreignersC. passengers D. visitors解析通过篇章考查名词。文章中并没有说“我”是一名学生；菲律宾是“我”的祖国，所以“我”并不是外国人；根据语境，“我”离开家乡多年后，回到自己的国家，应该是一位回访者更恰当，所以可用visitor一词。答案D2. A. earlier B. longerC. sooner D. later解析通过篇章考查副词。奶奶讲了一句俗话，即你离开自己的祖国时间越长，你身上的血就越受蚊子喜欢。答案B3. A. grows B. goesC. flows D. remains解析考查词语辨析。根据语意首先排除C、D两项；grow后接形容词表示逐渐变得，逐渐成为；而go后接形容词，一般表示朝坏的方面变化，如：go bad/mad/crazy/wrong等。答案A4. A. expecting B. understandingC. recognizing D. believing解析根据下文“我”的答语“Grandmaaaa，thats just an old wivestale！”可知最初“我”不相信奶奶的话。答案D5. A. shade B. pileC. cloud D. blanket解析考查对语句的理解及名词的辨析。句中carpet用作动词，意思是“被厚厚地覆盖”；作为名词carpet与blanket同义，a carpet/blanket of指厚厚的一层，这里是它们的引申用法，形象地说明了“我”被蚊子咬得遍体是伤。答案D6. A. touched B. bittenC. defeated D. discovered解析考查对语篇的理解及动词的辨析。语境讲的是“我”采取措施防止蚊子叮咬，但都无效。答案B7. A. noise B. hitC. pain D. effect解析考查对上下文的理解能力。语境表明，“我”不能忍受蚊子叮咬的痛苦。答案C8. A. woke up B. shouted atC. looked for D. dropped on解析考查对语段的理解及短语的辨析。语境表明，“我”为了找到一些安慰，于是弄醒了熟睡的堂妹。wake up叫醒；shout at对大声喊；look for寻找；drop on顺便拜访。答案A9. A. blamed B. interruptedC. moved D. frightened解析blame责备；interrupt打扰；move移动，感动；frighten使惊恐。堂妹因被打扰而不高兴。答案B10. A. having B. watchingC. making D. helping解析考查对语段的理解。“我”十分嫉妒地看着她入睡。答案B11. A. land B. flyC. fall D. wait解析根据语境可排除B、D两项；C项是掉下来的意思，不合文意；land可指(鸟、飞机、昆虫等)落，降落，着陆。答案A12. A. houses B. flatsC. rooms D. homes解析考查对语句的理解。“我”到其他人的房间看他们是什么情况。答案C13. A. joyfully B. anxiouslyC. soundlessly D. worriedly解析他们也都安静地入睡了，蚊子也不去打扰他们。soundlessly“静悄悄地”。答案C14. A. tell B. knowC. remember D. accept解析考查对文章主旨的理解。通过这次被蚊子叮咬的经历，“我”逐渐接受了奶奶讲的那个“我”当初认为很愚蠢的俗语。答案D15.
