C解析：【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述的是一位来自亚洲国家的年轻人在公交车上结识了一位老太太，被她与二战伤残老兵丈夫不离不弃爱情所感动，并主动帮助他们的故事。31. 考查形容词。根据第三段Asian accent可知作者来自亚洲，不像东方国家，在西方国家公交车上只允许站8位乘客。有的学生没有注意到前面的Unlike，把意思弄反了，误选了B或C项。32. 考查动词。本段第

20、二行Only eight standing passengers!中有提示。33. 考查名词。在公交车上提醒的一般是司机或售票员，选项中有“售票员(conductor)”一词，故为正确答案。有的学生不认识conductor而误选其他选项。34. 考查副词。作者本以为是自己应该下车的，根据后面I saw the elderly lady was about to get off.可知前后是转折关系，故选However。35. 考查形容词。根据后面Her companion was her guide dog!可知那位老太太靠导盲犬引路说明她是以为盲人。36. 考查动词搭配。根据后面的宾语可知应该

21、是make a journey构成固定搭配，change, pack, fix都不能与journey搭配。37考查连词。作者很高兴是因为自己有机会跟那位老太太讲话，前后是因果关系，故选as。38. 考查名词。根据上面一句话中speak with her和前面的动词start可知作者开始和老太太谈话(start a conversation)。39. 考查动词辨析。四个选项为形近词，根据后面的宾语my Asian accent可知老太太识别(recognize)出作者的亚洲口音。Brealized意识到Crecalled想起；回忆起Dreminded提醒。40. 考查形容词。老太太听出了作者的口

22、音，问作者是否就是那天上午帮助过她的同一个人。41. 考查形容词。一位盲老太太竟然根据声音认出了作者，所以是很令人惊奇的(amzaing)。BConfusing令人迷惑的CDisappointing令人失望的DDelighting令人高兴的。42. 考查名词。老太太讲了自己的故事(story)。本题比较简单。43. 考查动词短语。Aended up以结束；最终成为；Btook away带走；Cgave up放弃；Dput away把收起来。根据文章，一颗炸弹(bomb)把他的左腿炸飞了，故选took away。44. 考查动词。Adistributed分布；分配Boffered提供Cappli

23、ed申请；应用Dreserved保留；预留。政府为那些为国家作出过贡献的伤残老兵预留(reserve)了工作，体现了一种有待和照顾，而不仅仅是提供(offer)，故D项为最佳答案。本题比较难，B项干扰性最大。45. 考查名词。Aadvice建议；Brestriction限制Cpreference优待Dservice服务。give preference to为固定短语，意为“给以优惠；优待”，本题考查其被动语态，很多学生误选了D项。46. 考查动词搭配。根据后面的介词with首先排除D项suffer，因为suffer与from搭配。fit不能直接与with搭配，应排除；struggle with

24、与一起奋；manage with解决(问题)；应付(困难局面等)，根据文章，政府给老兵预留工作，给他们的配偶优待，通过这种方式来解决养老金等问题，故正确答案为manage。本题考查熟词生义，比较难，学生一般误选fit。第44,45,46题错误率最高。47. 考查形容词。Aartificial人造的；假的Bdangerous危险的Ctemporary临时的；暂时的；Dnormal正常的。artificial leg假肢，故选A项。有的学生不认识artificial而误选。48. 考查动词。这个故事感动(touch)了作者。49. 考查动词。Aleft离开。及物动词，后面一般接地点名词Bparte

25、d离开；分开；分布；分手。不及物动词Carrived达到；Dgreeted打招呼。本题容易误选left。50. 考查名词。Areward奖励；回报；Bexercise练习；锻炼；Ceffort费力的事Dpleasure快乐。对一个残疾人来说走那么远是一件很费力的事，故选C项。体裁：记叙文话题：情感故事难度：B第三部分：阅读理解 A Back in October 2005, I was released from my position as a manager with a well-known transportation company.
