After the birth of my second child, I got a job at a restaurant. Having worked with an experienced  36   for a few days, I was   37  to wait tables on my own. All went  38   that first week. When Saturday night came, I was luckily  39   the tables not far from the kitchen.   40   , I still felt a little hard to carry the heavy trays (托盤(pán))。

   Before I knew it, the  41  was full of people. I moved slowly,   42  every step. I remember how  43   I was when I saw the tray stand near the tables, it looked different from the one I was  44   on. It had nice handles (手柄),which made it  45   to move around. I was pleased with everything and began to  46  I was a natural at this job.

    Then, an old man came to me and said, “Excuse me, dear, my wife and I loved __47  you work. It seems your tray stand has been very  48   to you, but we are getting ready to  49   now, and my wife needs her  50  back.”

    At first his   51  did not get across. “What was he talking about!” Then I got it. I had set my trays on his wife’s orthopedic walker (助步器). I stood frozen as ice, but my face was  52  . I wanted to get into a hole and  53  .

    Since then, I have learned from many mistakes such as the one I just   54   , I have learned to be more  55  and not to be too sure of myself.

【試題解析】前文說(shuō)在飯店找到一份工作,后文出現(xiàn)了carry the heavy trays (托盤(pán)),可以可知“我”是在和有經(jīng)驗(yàn)的服務(wù)員一起干。

37. C。

【試題解析】該句前面提到跟隨一位有經(jīng)驗(yàn)的服務(wù)員干了幾天,所以就允許自己獨(dú)自為顧客服務(wù)了。其它幾個(gè)動(dòng)詞不符合語(yǔ)境意思。

38. A。

【試題解析】從下文來(lái)看,周日那幾天All went well that first week.“一切都很順利。”只是在周末出了一點(diǎn)小狀況。

39 B。

【試題解析】題意是“周六晚上,我有幸被給機(jī)會(huì)在離廚房不遠(yuǎn)的一張桌子邊服務(wù)!彼詰(yīng)用give,其它幾個(gè)動(dòng)詞不合題意。

40. B。

【試題解析】從下文的I still felt a little hard可知盡管我給了這樣一個(gè)機(jī)會(huì),但感到有點(diǎn)困難,語(yǔ)意轉(zhuǎn)折了,故用however然而。therefore因此;otherwise否則;finally最后,這幾個(gè)詞不合語(yǔ)意。

41.C。

42. A。

【試題解析】前文提到飯店里擠滿(mǎn)了顧客,所以自己要慢慢移動(dòng)步子,“留意,當(dāng)心”每一步。mind有“注意,留心”之意。其余幾個(gè)不合語(yǔ)意。

43.D。

【試題解析】題意是“我們(就餐完了)要離開(kāi)了!惫蔬xD項(xiàng)。

50. C。

54. D。

【試題解析】repeat重說(shuō);discover發(fā)現(xiàn);correct改正;describe?v觀全文,作者在描述她以前親身經(jīng)歷的尷尬的事情,故選D。

Li Lu’ou thought he did the right thing by calling 110 when he saw his two classmates in trouble on the corner of a dark street.

Li and his classmates from NO.2 Middle School Affiliated to Beijing Normal University spent this year’s Valentine’s Day selling roses on the street.As night approached,they cycled back with over 200 yuan in their pockets.

Suddenly,a gang of robbers jumped out at them.The five robbers were tall and strong,so Li ran away to call the police.He thought it would be the most practical thing to do and he was right.His classmates returned safe and sound.

So,what would you have done in Li’s situation?Would you have got off your bike and fought the robbers to rescue your friends?

A new Beijing student code does not encourage you to risk your life to help them.

The new code was introduced to more than 1.7 million primary and middle school students in the city at the start of the new term.

It has cut words which might encourage youngsters to risk their lives for others dangerous situations.Gone are the old calls,which had been in place since 1987,for students to“fight criminals courageously”and “sacrifice themselves to save others”.

Children’s heroic acts usually left them injured or even dead because they failed to fully foresee the dangers of their actions.

A well­known example was Lai Ning,who was listed among the “top 10 model young pioneers” in 1989 after he lost his life trying to put out a fire at the age of 14.

The deaths connected to teenagers’“heroic acts” started a nation­wide debate about the protection of youngsters.

Wei Lusheng,a parent in Beijing,said schools must first teach children how to protect themselves,before learning from heroes.

But educators thought the spirit of courage should not be thrown away in the new student code.

“Getting rid of the words‘fight criminals courageously’do not mean we deny the spirit of‘fearlessness’and ‘readiness’to help others.”said Li Jing,an official in Beijing.“But,we should be more rational about the spirit of sacrifice.”

Li Lu’ou agreed.“Cherishing life is no reason to be a coward,” he said.“but you need make sure you are able to offer help.For example,it would cause more trouble if I jumped into water to rescue someone drowning,but didn’t know how to swim.In that situation it’s better to call the police or an adult.”

41.Which is true about Li and his classmates?

A.They bought roses for each other on Valentine’s Day.

B.They called 110 immediately when they were held up by a gang of robbers.

C.Li risked his life for his classmates in the dangerous situation.

D.Instead of fighting the robbers Li thought it right for him to call the police.

42.The new student code was introduced in Beijing because______.

A.students are facing more danger than they used to

B.the old student code didn’t include the spirit of courage

C.the old one didn’t tell students how to protect themselves while helping others in trouble

D.the old student code encouraged students to sacrifice themselves to save others.

43.Which can be inferred about Lai Ning?

A.He was one of the top 10 model young pioneers in 1987.

B.If it weren’t him,the forest fire would not have been put out.

C.According to the new code,he shouldn’t have risked his life to put out the fire.

D.His deeds did not agree with what the old student code encouraged.

44.The underlined word“deny ”in the second last paragraph means“________”.

A.a(chǎn)gree with                                          B.disagree with

C.connect with                                      D.object to

45.According to the new student code which of the following statements is right?

A.There will be more criminals after the new student code was introduced.

B.The police in Beijing will have a more difficult time in keeping order.

C.The spirit of“fearlessness”and “readiness”help others will be thrown away.

D.Teenagers are advised to make sure they are able to offer help when they want to.
