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

(1)	本句最后提到她去醫(yī)院的目的是想成為一名護(hù)士，所以應(yīng)該是去“見”她。B項(xiàng)強(qiáng)調(diào)的是“探望”，不符合所給語境。
(2)	薪水少一般用small。very little表示“幾乎沒有”，不符合常識(shí)；low通常與pay連用。
(3)	艱苦的勞動(dòng)“嚇不倒”她。discourage表示“使灰心”，相對(duì)于成功而言；D項(xiàng)表示“威脅”，語意不恰當(dāng)。
(4)	她給Dr．Richardson“留下了深刻印象”。后三項(xiàng)分別表示“影響”“鼓勵(lì)”“感動(dòng)”，均不符合語境。
(5)	根據(jù)上一句可知她“事實(shí)上”對(duì)May的表現(xiàn)非常滿意，以至于后來又接受了兩名聾子女孩作實(shí)習(xí)護(hù)士。
(6)	她的聽覺有“困難”。假如選擇C項(xiàng)，原句最好改為“…who was bad at hearing”。
(7)	在Marian被醫(yī)院雇傭之“前”，兩人彼此之間不認(rèn)識(shí)。
(8)	兩人都是聾子，聽不見對(duì)方的話，所以靠寫“紙條”的方式進(jìn)行交流。
(9)	Marian自己是聾子，但她并不知道對(duì)方也聽不見，所以聽說對(duì)方也是聾子時(shí)肯定十分興奮，因?yàn)檎业搅送�病相憐的知己，因此會(huì)“跑”過去證實(shí)。其余三項(xiàng)都不能很好地表達(dá)她當(dāng)時(shí)的激動(dòng)心情。
(10)	兩人通過手勢知道對(duì)方都是聾子，肯定會(huì)“大笑”。本句中的jumped一詞也是暗示。
(11)	May總是非�！靶⌒牡亍眻�(zhí)行命令。后三項(xiàng)分別表示“專心的”“體貼的”“關(guān)心的”，語意都不恰當(dāng)。
(12)	她只有一次“沒有服從”Dr Richardson。
(13)	take the time表示“花費(fèi)時(shí)間”。如果選擇B項(xiàng)，需把原句中的to hold改為(in)holding; cost的主語是物體；find表示“找到”，不符合語意。
(14)	下文提到Dr．Richardson不在身邊時(shí)May就偷偷地抱起孩子，由此可推測她“討厭”看到嬰兒哭。
(15)	這一小的“變化”讓護(hù)理孩子更加順利。May違抗Dr．Richardson的命令這么做，所以其余三項(xiàng)不恰當(dāng)。
(16)	Dr．Richardson“發(fā)現(xiàn)”了May的行為，強(qiáng)調(diào)的是經(jīng)過一番過程而發(fā)覺。
(17)	Dr．Richardson認(rèn)識(shí)到May的行為改善了護(hù)理質(zhì)量，所以對(duì)此“不予追究”。punish 的賓語一般是“人”，因此不太恰當(dāng)。
(18)	根據(jù)后面引號(hào)中的內(nèi)容可知她非�！靶湃巍边@位女孩的能力。
(19)	三年來竟然沒有任何人抱怨過她，顯然是“了不起的”事情。
(20)	解析：ever表示“曾經(jīng)”，即三年來沒有人曾經(jīng)提出過抱怨。 　　文章大意：May Paxton是一個(gè)聾子，她從學(xué)校畢業(yè)后在Dr．Richardson創(chuàng)辦的醫(yī)院中成為實(shí)習(xí)護(hù)士，她的出色表現(xiàn)令Dr．Richardson極其滿意。但是，在護(hù)理嬰兒的一個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)上兩人產(chǎn)生意見分歧，不過，事實(shí)證明她的這一做法提高了醫(yī)院的知名度。
