37
will happen. And you’ll realize that it wouldn’t have happened if not for that
38
disappointment.”
Mother was right,

I discovered after graduating from college in 1932. I had decided to
40
a job in radio, then work my way up to sports
41
. I hitchhiked(搭便车) to Chicago and
42
on the door of every station—and got turned
43
every time.
In one studio, a kind lady told me that big stations couldn’t risk hiring an
44
person –“Go out in the sticks(偏远地区) and find a small station that will give you a
45
,” she said.
I thumbed home to Dixon, Illinois.
46
there was no radio—announcing job in Dixon, my father said Montgomery Ward had opened a store and wanted a local athlete to

its sports department. Since Dixon was where I had played high school football. I

I was waiting for the elevator

I heard MacAethur calling, “What was that you said about sports? Do you know anything about football?” Then he asked me to stand before a microphone and to broadcast a (an)
54
game.
On my way home, once again I thought of my mother’s words. I often wonder what
55
my life might have taken if I’d gotten the job at Montgomery Ward.

【解析】本文主要围绕着母亲的教导“Everything happens for the best.”而展开故事,告诉我们不要畏惧困难和挫折!要坚持下去!一切都会为了更美好的未来而发生的。
2.A考查动词。face disappointment 意为“面对失望”。D选项met后要加with,meet with sth 意为“遇到某事”、“经历某事”。
3.D考查形容词。“一切都会好的。如果你坚持下去,总有一天会有好事发生。
4.B考查形容词。该句句意是“你会认识到,如果没有以前的挫折就不会有现在的一切。”,因此,这里是指“以前的挫折(失望)”。
5.B考查连词。 母亲是对的,发现这个是在1932年,我刚从大学毕业。
6.C考查动词短语。“我已决定试着在电台找个事儿做,然后争取做体育节目的播音员。try for争取,谋求,申请
7.B考查名词。从下文的信息“How can a fellow get to be a sport announcer if he can't get a job in a radio station?"可确定答案。
8.A 考查动词。“我搭便车到了芝加哥,挨个电台地敲门推销自己
9.D 考查介词。“但每次都被拒绝了。
10.C考查形容词。“一位好心的女士告诉我,大的广播电台是不会冒险雇用没经验的inexperienced新手的。"
11.C 考查名词。give sb a chance意为“给某人一个机会”。那位女士只能说“给一个工作机会“,而不是能肯定 “给一个工作”。
12.B考查连词。根据语法知识分析,while 在此引导让步状语,意为“虽然,尽管”。
13.D考查动词。从上下文的逻辑看,该句句意为“…父亲说,蒙哥马利·沃德开了一家新商店,想雇请一个本地的运动员管理manage店里的体育部。我中学时曾在迪克森打过橄榄球,出于这个原因我去申请了这份工作。”
14.C考查动词。我去申请了这份工作。
工作听起来挺适合我的
16.B考查动词。从后面的内容可以推出,当时“我的沮丧心情一定表现出来了。”所以此时,“母亲(又)提醒我说。 “一切总会好的,"爸爸(还)给我买了一辆汽车找工作用。”。
17.D考查动词。见50解析。
18.A考查动词短语。boil over原意为“因沸溢出,发怒”,这里用于形容作者失望到了极点。其他几个短语意思分别为:turn over“打翻,移交给,翻身,翻阅”;hit over“撞到”;take over“接收;接管”。
19.D考查连词。when就在那时。
20.C考查形容词。结合文章所提供的语境可以知道此时没有比赛,因此是想像中的比赛。
21.D考查名词。该句句意为“我经常想,如果(当年)我得到Montgomery Ward的那份工作,我的生活方向(人生之路)又会怎样走呢?
In 1898 an 8.2 earthquake almost flattened America, killing over 30,ooo people in less than four minutes. In the middle of complete damage and disorder, a father rushed to the school where his son was supposed to be,
26
that the building was

29 happens, I’ll always be there for you!” And tears began to 30 his eyes. As he looked at the pile of ruins, it looked hopeless, but he kept remembering his 31
to his son. He rushed there and started 32 the ruins.
As he was digging, other helpless parents arrived , 33 : “It’s too late ! They are all dead! 34
, face reality; there’s nothing you can do!” To each parent he responded with 35 : “Are you going to help me now? ”No one helped. And then he continued to dig for his son, stone by stone.
Courageously he went on alone because he needed to know 36 : “Is my boy 37 or he is dead?” He dug for eight hours … 12 hours…36 hours…then , in
38
hour , he pulled back a large stone and heard his son’s 39 . He screamed his son’s name, “ARMAND!” He heard back, “Dad!?! It’s me, Dad! I told other kids not to worry.
I told them that if you were alive, you 40 me and 41 you saved me, they’d be saved. You promised, ‘No matter what happens, I’ll always be there for you!’ You did it, Dad!”
“What’s going on in there? ”the father asked
