33、CB 36-40 CCBAC 41-45 BDDAA第一步，分析首句。从第一句我们可以获得如下信息：(1)作者和朋友们刚刚考完试，出来庆祝；(2)他们来到了一家快餐店。根据这两条信息可推测出接下来可能讲述的是一件发生在快餐店的事情。第二步，通读全文，了解大意，掌握故事梗概。文章大意：作者和朋友们来到一家快餐店吃饭，不小心将一托盘饭菜和饮料洒在了一位先生的身上，那人不仅没有恼怒，还给钱让他们再买汉堡包。由此作者认识到善良的确存在。第三步，再回头有选择地阅读，并选出答案。由于你已掌握大意，此时采用一些相应的微技巧，答题自然就快得多了。下面对几个典型的题例进行解析，供读者学习参考：根据上下文推知答案
34、第26和27空。根据首句和空后的hamburgers and Coca Cola可知作者和朋友来到快餐店点了汉堡和可乐，然后他们等食物上来之后开始找空位子坐下。第37空。根据上文中的Still shaky and unsure可知，作者惊魂未定，所以找个桌子坐下想尽快平静下来。第38空。根据下文My heart almost stopped 39. I thought he merely smiled at us, handed us some cash and said可推知，那个人从洗手间走了出来，走近他们的桌子。第39空。根据上下文可知，那个人走近他们的桌子，作者误以为他会要他爸爸的电话
35、号码并给爸爸打电话，所以害怕得心脏几乎停止跳动。第44空。上文所讲述的发生在快餐店的意外使作者相信这个世界上仍然存在善良。根据数空之间的联系推知答案第28、29和30空。作者端着食物托盘走向空桌子时，他的钱包带挂住了一把椅子，紧接着托盘从手里滑落，托盘及其上面的东西都撒到了一位先生的身上。got caught, slipped from 和fell on所表示的动作都是接连发生的。根据固定搭配选择答案第28空。get caught on挂住，为固定短语。第31空。take a bite of 为固定搭配，表示“吃一口”。托盘及上面的东西撒到了一个正要吃三明治的人身上。根据事理逻辑或常识推知答案 第33和34空。根据前文所述，作者不小心把一托盘的饭菜撒到了一位先生的身上，饮料浸湿了那个人的白色衬衫，根据常识可知，那个人肯定非常愤怒，所以作者闭上了眼睛准备接受那个人爆发的愤怒。根据语法知识选择答案第36空。设空处是疑问词加不定式作补语，不定式后的动词do缺少宾语，故用what。根据句子逻辑关系选择答案第43空。上句“他本可能会使糟糕的场面变得更糟”和下句“他选择了一种不同的方式”之间是转折关系，因此用but。根据作者的感情倾向推知答案 第45空。最后一段是作者抒发的感触，这件事给了作者一个相信这个世界上仍然存在善良的理由，所以作者将永远不会忘记此事。
