  I am a sales representative and travel all over England to visit my customers.One cold February morning I was due to visit a store at 9 am.I   1   my car, bundled my scarf around me and   2   up the street towards his shop front.

  The Street where his store was   3   was partially blocked by two large, ruddy faced workmen who were teaing up the concrete.I prepared myself for the   4   cat calls(起哄).I was up early, out in the cold, and probably to be seen as a funny scene by two men I didn't even   5  

  Then I stopped and   6  my own father.Both he and my grandfather had   7   much of their early careers working outside in similar jobs before they   8   and became engineers.I recalled how hard Dad worked, in all kinds of   9  ; how he'd come home with sunburn or frostnip(凍傷).I realized that if was cold then these two guys were probably   10  , given that it looked as though they'd already been  11  for hours.

  My customer's shop wasn't open yet but I was beyond being annoyed at his   12  .I Went to a coffee sh、op around the comer,   13   myself a hot chocolate, then two more with whipped cream.I made my   14   down the Street to wards the workmen.One of them turned to me with a wide smile and   15   me with a joking "Oh lovey,you shouldn't have! " To his   16  , I passed him the tray with the two   17   chocolates.I replied, "Maybe not.  18   it's too cold to be working outside today。"

  I got two looks of genuine(真誠的)   19  , and a timely reminder that it's as easy to be   20   as it is to pre-judge-but the former is so much nicer!

答案:1.B;2.D;3.A;4.B;5.D;6.C;7.B;8.C;9.A;10.B;11.D;12.C;13.A;14.C;15.B;16.D;17.B;18.C;19.A;20.D;
解析:

(1)

前文交待去拜訪客戶,自然是停下車步行前去。Park one's car"泊車",stop"使阻止,使停止工作",強(qiáng)調(diào)外來的力量,此處不當(dāng)。

(2)

head up"往前走,走向";wander"徘徊,來回溜達(dá)"travel"旅行"look up"仰望,查詢"。根據(jù)上下文只有D項(xiàng)符合文意。

(3)

be located"坐落于,位于",為表示位置的普通用語。

(4)

expected"預(yù)料中的",此處必須通讀全文才能正確選出答案。后文是作者的心里活動(dòng):在一個(gè)寒冷的冬天,一個(gè)漂亮女士起那么早。和周圍的人物環(huán)境形成鮮明對(duì)比,因此作者擔(dān)心會(huì)遭到調(diào)侃,所以"expected"最合乎作者當(dāng)時(shí)的心理活動(dòng)。

(5)

從下下文判斷,作者根本就不認(rèn)識(shí)這兩個(gè)建筑工人。

(6)

"我停下腳步回想起了我的父親",下文交待的就是回憶的內(nèi)容。

(7)

此處"spend much of their early careers doing…"相當(dāng)于"spend time doing""這一結(jié)構(gòu),表示在早期的職業(yè)中忙于某種工作。

(8)

前文交待干類似的粗活,后來能勝任了,變成工程師。they qualified"和后面的"be came engineers"構(gòu)成因果關(guān)系。

(9)

根據(jù)上文提到天冷,下文提到曬傷凍傷"come home with sunburn or frostnip"判斷此處談?wù)摰氖窃诟鞣N天氣狀況下工作。

(10)

這要根據(jù)上下文提供的信息判斷,上文提到"I realized that if I was cold then",由此得知我剛出來就覺得很冷,何況在外面呆了好幾個(gè)小時(shí)的人呢? freezing和上文的的cold形成對(duì)照。

(11)

上文提到"two large,ruddy faced workmen who were tearing up the concrete",即working。

(12)

作者久等客戶也沒出現(xiàn),"My customer's shop wasn't open yet…¨"顯然是他遲到了。

(13)

在餐館點(diǎn)菜或在酒吧酒水都用"order,作者不可能自己去煮咖啡或倒咖啡,所以A項(xiàng)符合常規(guī)。

(14)

make one's way"前進(jìn)",此處指沿街向那兩個(gè)建筑工走去。

(15)

建筑工人向作者打招呼。

(16)

建筑工本來想調(diào)侃作者,沒想到作者會(huì)給他們帶來熱巧克力驅(qū)寒,是令他驚訝的事情。

(17)

此處一定要考慮到當(dāng)時(shí)的環(huán)境,即"寒冷",所以出于同情心作者才會(huì)給他們兩份熱巧克力以驅(qū)寒。此處"hot"和上文多處提到的"cold,freezing"等形成對(duì)比。

(18)

上下文是明顯的轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。

(19)

陌生人送熱巧克力驅(qū)寒,是令人感動(dòng)的事情,自然有感激之情。

(20)

此處"kind"是對(duì)作者的行為的評(píng)價(jià)。

There are a few memories from our childhood that will stay with us forever. A few that seemed so    36    at the time may cause us to smile years later.

     One such memory is a phone call I    37    when I was about three or four years old. My mother had entered a contest on a local    38    show. Entrants(參加者)were to tell an interesting story about their    39   . Winners would receive a phone call from Mrs. Santa Claus(女圣誕老人)! Mrs. Claus would award(獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)) the lucky child free    40    of a local store.

     Well, the call came. My mother talked to Mrs. Claus and then    41    the phone to me. I didn’t    42    the fact that many people were listening to our conversation. However, the fact that this lady had a    43    connection to Santa, that was important.

     I didn’t know it yet, but my mother had    44    the attention of the contest judges by telling about the time I had    45    a wall with crayons(蠟筆). Even I knew that this was not the kind of    46    that Santa would approve.

     Suddenly, in a very pleasant tone(語氣)of    47   , Mrs. Santa Claus asked me about my art work. I    48    that this lady was the real Mrs. Claus, not a radio station actress standing in for her.

     It turned out that I did get a    52    present from the radio station and its sponsor(贊助商). And I guess Santa didn’t find out about the wall. Maybe he did and was in a    53    mood. In any case, my Christmas presents did not    54    a piece of coal(煤).

     I wonder what Santa has in    55    for this year. Hopefully my wife hasn’t written Mrs. Claus any letters.

I recently heard a story about a famous scientist who had made several very important medical breakthroughs. He was being interviewed by a reporter who asked him    36   he thought he was able to be so much more    37   than the average person.

He    38   that it all came from a(n)   39   with his mother that occurred when he was about 2. He had been trying to remove milk from the fridge when he    40   the slippery(光滑的) bottle, its contents running all over the kitchen floor.

When his mother came in,    41   shouting at him or giving him a lecture, she said, "Robert, what a great and wonderful    42   you have made! I have    43   seen such a huge pool of milk. Well, the damage has already been    44  . Would you like to get down and    45   in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?"

Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, "Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to    46   everything to its proper order. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge(海綿), a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer?" He chose the sponge.

His mother then said, "You know, what we have here is a    47   experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two    48   hands. Let's go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can make it." The little boy learned that if he    49   the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful    50  !

This scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn't need to be    51  to make mistakes. Instead, he learned that mistakes were just    52   for learning something new, which is,    53  , what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment "doesn't   54  ," we usually learn something    55   from it.

When I began my high school years, I was quite interested in biology. I read lots of books of my father’s about animals, and I was   36   much educated about such matters as a 16-year-old could be.

    One Sunday afternoon, I was   37  with friends about animals. I said the whale(鯨魚)was   __38  a mammal animal. They disagreed. Finally, I called a   39   over to help settle the matter. I knew I was  40  , so I was looking forward to the teacher  41   I was right. My friends were eager for an opposite answer. We asked her   42  the whale was a mammal. “No, the whale is a fish,” she said without a moment’s   43  .

You could have knocked me over with a feather. My   44   was hurt because I lost the argument, but that wasn’t the main reason I was too  45  to speak. I still knew I was right, which   __46  the teacher was wrong. Not only was she wrong,   47   she was completely ignorant(無知的) about something I thought was   48   knowledge. But she was a teacher who had taught a long time. Everyone   49   her and no one else thought she could be wrong.

__50  that, I hadn’t known grown-ups could be wrong. This   51  shaped the way I viewed people as I grew up.   52   I found anyone treated another person with too much respect and admiration, I thought——and still think——“   53   silly.” From that point on, I had no  54__ for authority(權(quán)威). To earn my respect, you have to be smart or  55   . I’ll never respect you just because you happen to be in charge or have a degree.

36. A. as  B. so         C. too             D. very
