1.解析:选B。根据上文“All he wanted was some juice—entering Cafeteria B2 after long hours of classes”可知,上了几个小时课之后来到餐厅的他想要喝些果汁,因此可推断出,他口渴了。

12.解析:选B。根据第二段第一句话中“trying to make the machine take his one dollar bill”和语境可知,此处accept与“take”意思相同,意为“接受”。

[解题导语] 由于竞争激烈,作者一开始对于儿子应聘一家公司的工作并未抱太大的希望,结果儿子最后被录用了。对此作者深有感触,认为尊重别人的工作就会在同等条件下比别人获得更多的机会。
1.解析: 选A。根据下文“which would later decide the one to be employed”可知,公司计划只雇用一个人。employ表示“雇用”;support表示“支持”;manage表示“管理,经营,能应付”;interview表示“面试,采访”。
2.解析: 选C。根据上下文语境可知,参与应聘的有20多人,从中只录取1人,作者认为儿子进入该公司的难度很大,于是提醒儿子。interrupt表示“打断”;promise表示“答应,许诺”;remind表示“提醒,使想起”;follow表示“跟随,听懂”。“reminded”符合语境。
3.解析: 选B。根据语境可知,此处指作者安慰儿子,不要抱太大希望,以免没被雇用后会失望。在四个选项中,“expect”表示“期望,预期,预料”,符合语境。
4.解析:选D。句意:儿子笑着说:“只要尽力就有希望。”四个选项均可引导状语从句,as if用来引导方式状语从句,as soon as引导时间状语从句,even if引导让步状语从句,as long as引导条件状语从句。根据语境可知,空格处表示的是一种条件。
5.解析:选A。 根据下文“entered the final”可知,在20多名应聘人中,只有3人能够进入最后一轮。enter表示“进入”。
6.解析:选B。 根据下文语境可知,儿子进入了最后一轮面试,由此推知,此处指一切似乎进展不错。go有“进行”之意,符合语境。
7.解析:选A。 作者的儿子通过了第一轮面试,进入到最后一轮。根据语境可知,空格处应该使用“passed”。
8.解析: 选B。句意:出乎意料,最后一轮面试出奇的简单,就是回家等待面试结果。四个选项均为形容词,challenging表示“具有挑战性的”;simple表示“简单的,简朴的”;perfect表示“完美的”;secret表示“秘密的”。
9.解析:选D。 根据语境可知,此处指的是回家等待最终的面试结果。result意为“结果”,符合语境。
10.解析: 选B。根据下文“The three men received the same text”可知,应选received。
11.解析: 选A。句意:在我还没想出该说什么来安慰儿子时……figure out表示“想出,理解”;take up表示“从事,拿起,占据”;set off表示“出发,动身”;work on表示“继续工作”。由此可知,空格处应该使用“figured out”。
12.解析:选C。 根据上文中的“a text”及“another”可知,空格处应该选“text”,表示又收到了一份通知。
13.解析:选B。 ridiculously表示“荒唐地”;actually表示“实际上”;cleverly表示“伶俐地,聪明地”;sadly表示“伤心地”。根据语境可知,实际上,第一份通知也是面试测试的一部分,B项符合文意。
14.解析: 选A。根据下文“I asked my son__15__they replied.”可知,在参加最后一轮面试的三个人当中,只有作者儿子的答复令公司满意。reply表示“回答,答复”,符合文意。
15.解析:选C。 根据下文“My son told me that one__16__silent,one said ‘goodbye’and he said‘thank you’.”可知此处指作者问儿子他们三人是如何答复公司的。
16.解析:选B。 keep silent为固定短语,意为“保持沉默”,符合语境。
17.解析:选A。 只有那时,作者才知道儿子的希望是以这种方式获得的。hope符合文意,并和上文“I try,there will be hope!”相呼应。
18.解析:选D。 句意:不要忘记对使你失望的那些人说声谢谢。cheat表示“欺骗,作弊”;hate表示“憎恨,不喜欢”;dislike表示“不喜欢”;disappoint表示“使失望”。由此可知,disappoint符合文意。
19.解析: 选C。句意:说声谢谢能显示你对别人工作的尊重。pity表示“怜悯,同情”;doubt表示 “怀疑”;respect表示“尊敬,尊重”;desire表示“愿望”。C项符合文意。
20.解析:选A。 作者认为,尊重别人的工作就会在同等条件下比别人有更多的机会。chances意为“机会”,符合文意。
