9、obs and cultural differences”可知,这是妈妈对我的关心。故此处要用concerns。2. Deven if“即使”;every time“每次”;now that“既然,由于”;soon after“不久以后”。上文说到我不理睬妈妈的担心,但是到了奥克兰之后不久,我就意识到了得到一份工作对我生活开支的重要性。故D项符合文意。3. C对于我的生活经历而言,我认识到得到一份工作对我生活开支的重要性。with“随着”;for“对于;至于”,符合题意。故选C项。4. Aon ones own“独自地,独立地”;on ones way“在路上”;by any chance“万
10、一”;by the day“按天计算;按日”。从下文看,作者出去找工作都是独自一人完成的,故on my own适合题意。5. D由but可知,but后面的内容应该和前面的I spent several weeks going doortodoor for a job形成转折,“我没找到工作”。选项中只有little表示否定意义。故选D项。6. C我进这所大楼,目的是想找到一份工作,所以去问是否能有工作机会。why“为什么”;wherever“无论在哪里”;whether“是否”;whenever“无论何时”。故只有C项符合题意。7. Ddirection“方向,指导,趋势,用法说明”;atti
11、tude“态度,意见,看法”;language“语言”;manner“方式,方法,态度,举止,礼貌,规矩,习惯”;in that manner“以那种方式”。根据上文的I spent several weeks going doortodoor for a job可知,我找工作的方法是挨家挨户地去问,所以这座大楼里的人建议我不要再用这种方式找工作了。故D项符合题意。8. Canswer“回答”;work“工作”;leave“离开”;refuse“拒绝”。根据上文描述可知,我在此处并没有找到工作,所以正打算离开。be about to leave“正要离开”,符合文意。9. Dfor ever“
12、永远”;at any time“在任何时候”;as usual“像往常一样”;for a while“一会儿”。由下文的nearly ten minutes later可知,这位一直在旁边听的人是想让我在外面等一会。故D项符合题意。10. Areturn“回来”;hesitate“犹豫”;pass“经过,通过”;regret“后悔”。由下文中“He asked me.”可知这个人回来了。故A项符合题意。11. Csilent“沉默的,寂静的”;busy“忙碌的”;positive“积极的”;comfortable“舒适的,舒服的”。由上下文可知,他询问了我的计划,并且鼓励我要继续保持积极的态度
13、,然后推荐我去罗亚尔奥克找一份工作。故C项符合题意。12. Bpick out“挑选出”;search for“寻找,搜索”;take on“呈现,接纳,雇用”;give up“放弃”。从下文可以看出,我在罗亚尔奥克找到了一份工作。故此处只有search for才符合文意。13. Bdull“无趣的,单调的”;good“好的,令人满意的”;guilty“自知有过错的,内疚的”;general“一般的,普遍的,大体的,笼统的”。由常识可知,他帮了我,我自然是对他有好感。故B项符合题意。14. Cmake use of“利用”;take care of“照顾”;run out of“用完,用光”;
14、become tired of“厌烦”。由下文的Seeing this, the man_at his business partners office to make me fifteen_copies可知,我的简历表用完了。故只有C项符合题意。15. Astop at“逗留在,住宿,对有所踌躇”;knock at“敲(门、窗等)”;glance at“看一下,浏览”;appear at“到达,出现在”。由常识可知,此处是指他在生意合作伙伴的办公室里,给我复印简历。故A项符合题意。16. B上文提到我的简历用完了,所以此处又复印了15份。表示“再,又”,英语中可以用“基数词more复数名词”
15、或者“another基数词复数名词”来表示。故只有B项符合题意。17. Dpressure“压力”;agreement“协议,同意”;impression“印象,影响”;suggestion“建议”。由下文的dressing and speaking可知,此处指他就dressing and speaking而给我提的建议。故选D项。18. Dlonely“孤独的,寂寞的”;funny“滑稽的”;disappointed“失望的”;satisfied“感到满意的”。由上文的内容可知,简历虽然用完了,但是这个人又帮我找地方复印了,还就我的dressing and speaking给我提出建议。故我
16、应该是感到满意。故选D项。19. Acall“电话”;tip“小费;建议”;present“礼物”;report“报告”。由常识可知,此处是指我接到了要我去罗亚尔奥克一家商店工作的电话。故选A项。20. Cturn off“关掉,断开;拐弯”;go over“复习;仔细检查”;give back“归还;送回;恢复;后退”;look up“仰望;查阅”。由本文所描述的故事可知,我的体会就是世界似乎总是在你最需要它的时候回报你。故选C项。.阅读理解 As the world prepares to mark the 100th anniversary of International Womens
