由于刚开始在餐馆里当服务员 所以应先与一个有经验的服务员一起工作 2 C 这里指的是 我 跟着有经验的服务员工作几天后 就可以单独招待客人了 be allowed to do sth 意为 被准许做某事 3 A 根据下文可知 作者在工作中遇到了一些状况 与之相对 这里是指 在最初的一 个星期里我的工作很顺利 4 B 上文中说到作者可以单独招待客人了 这里指的是作者分配到的餐桌离厨房较近 故用 given 5 B 根据空格后面的句子 I still felt it a little hard to carry the heavy trays 可推知 虽然作 者负责的餐桌离厨房较近 但她端着那些沉重的装菜的托盘仍然觉得有点吃力 所以空格 前后句之间是转折关系 故用 however 6 C 因为作者是在餐馆工作 所以这里应该是指 餐馆 restaurant 里坐满了客人 7 A 根据空格前面的 I moved slowly 以及作者前面提到的她端着托盘有点吃力 可推知 这里指的是作者每走一步都很小心 即 mind every step 8 D 由于托盘架可减轻劳动强度 作者当然感到高兴 9 B 这里说的是作者看见的托盘架与她平时练习所使用的托盘架不同 即她觉得这个 托盘架比通常用的托盘架更好 这从下文可以看出 10 D 根据空格前面的 It had nice handles 以及空格后面的 to move around 可推知此句话 的意思是 因为托盘架装有手柄 所以推起来更容易一些 11 A 根据上下文语境可知 这里说的是作者使用托盘架很顺手 很满意 并开始觉得 自己天生就是当服务员的好手 12 C 根据下文的 It seems your tray stand has been 可知 这位老人与他的妻子看着作者 工作已有一会儿了 故此处用 watch 表示 观看 13 A 因为上文提到作者使用这个 托盘架 很顺手 所以此处老人的意思是 看来这个 托盘架 对你很有用呀 14 D 根据后文可知 作者误把老人妻子的助步器当成托盘架使用了 这里是指老人和 他妻子用餐完毕 准备离开餐馆 向作者要回助步器 15 B 参见上面第 14 题的解析 16 C 根据空格后面的 What was he talking about 可知 作者一开始并没有明白老人话中 的意思 17 D 根据空格前面的 frozen as ice 以及 but 可知 此处要填入一个与 ice 相对的词 再 根据语境 作者把老人妻子的助步器当成了托盘架 当她意识到这一点的时候 自然会因 尴尬而脸红 故答案选 D 18 B 根据空格前面的 to get into a hole 可推知 作者当时觉得很尴尬 恨不得有个 洞可以躲进去 故答案选 B 19 D 因本文主要是描述作者在餐馆当服务员时所犯的一个尴尬错误 故答案选 D 20 A 根据上下文语境 作者因为大意而误把别人的助步器当成了托盘架 但她也学到 了一条经验 做事要更细心 不要过于相信自己 In 1989 an 8 2 earthquake almost flattened America killing over 30 000 people in less than four m
