Answer 1

答案：C;D;B;A;B;D;A;D;C;C;A;D;B;D;A;B;B;C;A;B
解析：

1．根據(jù)文章提供的時(shí)間，圣誕節(jié)前五天，主人公的同事們正在激烈地討論著他們的計(jì)劃。 2．搖頭當(dāng)然表示no 3．題目中的pursue意為“追求(目標(biāo)、夢想)”，和dream構(gòu)成固定搭配。 4．她白天全日制工作是當(dāng)婦女招待，由第四段another waitress可知。 5．從下一句的轉(zhuǎn)折意思看，她總是盼望假期。其他三項(xiàng)均是否定詞，與文章不符。 6．祈禱時(shí)是對上帝說話。 7．一個(gè)how表現(xiàn)了主人公的無奈。沒有錢怎么去實(shí)現(xiàn)這些愿望? 8．Extra“額外的，多余的”�？鄢�房租、課本和其他費(fèi)用，她當(dāng)女招待的工作錢所剩無幾，僅夠吃飯。 9．由下一句cover for me“替我接待一下客人”可知，Maribelle正在休息。Break“中斷，休息”。 10．on one's way to“走在通往……的路上”。 11．by the way“順便說一下”，改變話題時(shí)使用on the contrary“相反”，說到一個(gè)相反的情況；above all“首先，尤其是”；after all“畢竟”。 12．顧客到餐館一般要點(diǎn)菜。此人既沒搗亂，又沒點(diǎn)菜，可能是在等人。 13．由上下文可知。 14．sure enough口語常用，意為“果然，果真，的確”。此時(shí)表示她的確看到Maribelle所說的人。 15．此句表示所穿衣服。首先排除C、D項(xiàng)。dress作為及物動(dòng)詞，其賓語是人，所以這是用過去分詞作定語修飾man。wear的賓語是衣服，此處用來修飾人，作人的定語應(yīng)用wearing a worn shirt 16．Alone“獨(dú)自一人”。其他三項(xiàng)均是表示情緒的副詞，與文義不符。 17．when在此作并列連詞，意為and just at that time�？腿藙傞_始沒有搭話，“I”正要走開時(shí)，他開口說話了。 18．顧客的聲音又輕又低，但在這個(gè)喧鬧的餐館里“I”卻聽得清晰明白。low，soft反襯noisy 19．sank是sink的過去式。聽到客人的話她失望得心往下一沉。beat表示“心跳”，break指心臟病發(fā)作。 20．Tip“小費(fèi)”�！�I”的處境使“I”想到的是掙小費(fèi)。
