【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,作者讲述了自己一次让人尴尬的经历。刚刚在饭店

做服务员时,有一天饭店客人很多,作者感到有点应付不了。但是这时她突然发现了一个

托盘架,这个托盘架给了她很大帮助,让她做起事来得心应手,她甚至感到自己天生就是

做这工作的人。但是正当她得意时却被人提醒她用的是别人的助步器。

(1)考查名词。A.manager“经理”;B.assistant “售货员” ;C.cook “厨师”;D.waitress “服务员”。上文说在饭店找到一份工作,下文出现了“carry the heavy trays (托盘)”,由此可知“我”是服务员,而从情理推断新手需要有经验的服务员带着一起干。所以选D。

(2)考查动词。A.promised “许诺”;B.invite“邀请”;C.al lowed“允许”;D.advised“建议”。上文提到跟随一位有经验的服务员干了几天,所以应该是允许

自己独自为顾客服务了。所以选C。

(3)考查副词。A.well “好地,顺利地” ;B.quickly “迅速地”;C.safely “安全地”;

D.wrong“ 错误地”根据下文的叙述可知在周末出了一点小状况,所以推测第一周应该“一切都很顺利。”,故选A。

(4)考查动词。A.left “离开”;B.given“给”;C.brought “带来”;D.shown“展示”。根据句意可知我有幸被给机会在离厨房不远的一张桌子边服务。所以应用give,故选B。

(5)考查副词。A.Therefore“因此”;B.However “然而”;C.Otherwise “否则”;D.Finally“最后”。前句话说我负责的桌子离厨房不远,而下文“I still felt a little hard”可知尽管我给了这样一个机会,但仍感到有点吃力,前后句是转折关系,故用however,选B。(6)考查名词。A.kitchen“厨房” ;B.street “街道”;C.restaurant“饭店” ;D.table“桌子”。作者在饭店里当服务员时的一次经历,自然是饭店挤满了顾客,所以选C。

(7)考查动词。A.minding“介意,留意”;B.changing “改变”;C.taking“带走”;D.saving“挽救”。前文提到饭店里挤满了顾客,而且作者又是新手,从情理推测作者应该是慢慢移动步子,所以用“留意,当心”每一步。故选A。

(8)考查形容词。A.angry “生气的”;B.calm “平静的” ;C.s ad “悲伤的”;D.happy“快乐的”。根据上文可知作者很吃力,所以当她看到有个托盘架时应该感到很高兴,况且这个托盘架还有一个手柄,很好使,所以选D。

(9)考查动词。A.fixed“修理”;B.trained“训练” ;C.loaded “装载”; D.waited“等候”。从常识可知新员工在正式上岗前要经过学习培训,所以选B。(10)考查形容词。A.slower “更慢” ;B.lighter “更轻”;C.quieter“更安静”;D.easier“更容易”。根据上一句话中的handles可以推测这个作者认为的托盘架应该是很容易转动,故选D。

(11)考查动词。A.believe“相信”;B.agree “同意” ;C.regret “遗憾”;D.pretend“假装”。根据“I was pleased with everything”可知作者有这个托盘架的帮助,做起事来得心应手,甚至不由自主的认为自己天生就是做这种工作的人。故选A。

(12)考查动词。A.letting“让”;B.making“制作,使,让” ;C.watc hing “观看”;D.having“吃,喝,让”。make/let/have sb. do sth. 固定短语“让某人做某事”;而watch sb. do sth.固定短语“看着某人做某事”,从语境判断选C。

(13)考查形容词。A.useful “有用的”;B.familiar“熟悉的”;C.unusual “不寻常的”;D.interesting“”有趣的”。根据上文可知作者有了这个托盘架的帮助,做起工作很轻松,所以这个托盘架对于作者是有用的。选A。

(14)考查动词。A.res t“休息”; B.order “ 命令”; C.eat “吃”; D.leave “离开”。从情理可知顾客就餐后,应该是要离开了。故选D。

(15)考查名词。A.bag “包”; B.walker “助步器”; C.tray “托盘” D.coat“ 大衣”。根据下文“I had set my trays on his wife's orthopedic walker”可知这个作者认为的托盘架是老人的助步器,所以选B。

(16)考查名词。A.idea “主意”;B.praise “赞赏”;C.message “信息” ;D.need“需要”。根据下文“‘What was he talking about!’ Then, I got it.中的then”可以判断作者开始没有明白他的意思,后来才明白了。故正确答案选C。

(17)考查名词(短语)。A.cold “冷的” ;B.full of joy “充满快乐” ;C.pale “苍白的”; D.on fire “着火”。从情理可以推测当人做了错事的时候脸会发红,像着了火一样,

而且前面的but也提示此处和“ I stood frozen as ice,构成前后的对比,故选D。

(18)考查动词。A.lie“说谎”; B.hide “隐藏”; C.defend “防御”; D.stay“停留”。

从该句前部分“I wanted to get into a hole”可知自己当时因尴尬而真想找个洞藏起来,故选B。

(19)考查动词。A.repeated “重复”;B.discovered “发现”;C.corrected“改正” ;D.described “描述” 。通读文章可知作者是以第一人称来讲述她以前亲身经历的尴尬的事情,所以选D。

(20)考查形容词。A.careful “.仔细的”;B.patient“有耐心的” ;C.honest “诚实的”; D.practical“实际的”。从作者所描述的内容可知,她的那次失误是因为自己不仔细造

成的,所以她要从错误中吸取教训,认真做事,不要对自己太自信。故选A。

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. In the 1960s, Douglas McGregor, one of the key thinkers in the art of management, developed the mow famous Theory X and Theory Y. Theory X is the idea that people instinctively 51 work and will do anything to avoid it. Theory Y is the view that everyone has the potential to find satisfaction in work. In any case, despite so much evidence to the 52 , many managers still agree to Theory X. They believe, 53 , that their employees need constant supervision if they are to work effectively, or that decisions must be imposed from 54 without consultation. This, of course, makes for authoritarian (专制的) managers. Different cultures have different ways of 55 people. Unlike authoritarian management, some cultures, particularly in Asia, are well known for the consultative nature of decision-making—all members of the department or work group are asked to 56 to this process. This is management by the collective opinion. Many western companies have tried to imitate such Asian ways of doing things, which are based on general 57 . Some experts say that women will become more effective managers than men because they have the power to reach common goals in a way that traditional 58 managers cannot.
