There were only a few people 3,and I took out my wallet to find the receipt for my case. The receipt didn't seem to be where I had left it. I 4        the contents,and railway tickets,money,scraps of paper and photos fell out of it;but no matter how 5        I searched,the receipt was nowhere to be found.

  When my turn came,I 6        the situation sor?rowfully to the assistant. The man looked me        7        as if to say that he had 8        this kind of story many times and asked me to 9        the case. I told him that it was an old,brown 10        looking no different from many cases I could see on the shelves. The assistant then gave me 11        and told me to 12        of the chief contents of the case. If they were 13     ,he said,I could take the case away. I tried to 14        all the arti?cles I had 15        packed into the case and wrote them down as they came to me. After I had done this,I went to 16        among the shelves.

Answer 1

1. C luggage office意為"行李寄存處"。根據下文中的"collect my heavy suitcase"可知他是去行李寄存處。

2. A leave意為"留下"，這里表示把行李寄存在行李寄存處。

3. D wait意為"等候"。由后面的"When my turn came..." 可知在行李寄存處已經有人排隊等候了。

4. D empty意為"倒空"。這里表示把皮包里的東西全部倒出來，尋找寄存物品的收據。

5. C hard意為"努力地"。這里表示無論怎樣努力尋找都找不到。

6. D explain意為"解釋"。由于收據沒有找到，作者只好向管理員解釋情況。

7. B look sb up and down意為"上下打量某人"。

8. C hear意為"聽說"，表示聽說過這種事情。這里指管理員以前經常遇到類似的情況。

9. A describe意為"描述"。由于沒有收據，管理員就要求作者描述他的手提箱的樣子。 

10. A object意為"物體"，這里指手提箱。 

11. D a form意為"一份表格"。 

12. B make a list意為"列表"。因為沒有收據，管理員就要求作者把他的箱子里的東西列一份清單，以便證實該手提箱是作者本人的。 

13. C correct意為"正確的"。只有當清單上的物品與手提箱內的物品相吻合時，才能取走手提箱。 

14. B remember意為"回憶起"。要寫清單，就必須回憶起手提箱里所放的物品。 

15. C hurriedly意為”匆忙地"。I had... packed into the case是定語從句，修飾articles出發(fā)時匆忙，因此現在寫清單就需要盡力回憶，故選hurriedly,與上下文相符。 

16. D look意為"看"，強調看的動作。 

17. B it occurs/occurred to sb that —意為"某人想到... "。 

18. A pick up意為"拾起，撿起"。這S指作者突然想到要是收據被別人撿到，他就可能會把手提箱領走。 

19. A fortunately意為"幸運地，幸虧"。句意：幸虧手提箱沒有被人領走。 

20. C satisfied意為"滿意的，信服的"。這里指經過物品與清單的核對，管理員確信了手提箱是作者的，因此作者把它領走了。
