29、“刮刮乐”彩票。2A。Mr.Lucky似乎比其他人更幸运，因为他的彩票往往最终获奖。end up“最终成为”符合语境。3D。其他人买的彩票没有中奖，因此这些刮开的、没有中奖的彩票就“一文不值”了。4B。下文的事例表明，Mr.Lucky听力下降，听不清了，所以这里应该用suffer表示“遭受”。5C。这里是天气预报，提醒人们“注意天气情况”，用be aware of。6D。Mr.Lucky由于听力不好，把tornado warning(龙卷风警报)听成了tomato warning(西红柿警报)，因此他自己也感到“奇怪”。7A。他的同事们拿他的听力没有办法，只能无奈地“摇摇头”。8B。由前文提到
30、的龙卷风警报可知，Mr. Lucky在回家途中应该是遇到了“风暴”，故用storm。9C。因为风暴，所以视线不好，结果“撞在”一位医生的汽车上。crash into“碰撞，撞击”。10A。Mr. Lucky驾照被吊销，无法开车，因此作者没有“选择”，只能将父母接到Virginia，由作者夫妇开车接送。11B。Mr. Lucky在一个购物中心做兼职，每天购物中心开门前，他就往那儿赶，故此处应用head for“前往到去”。12C。与上文打扫地板相对应，这里应为“倒空”垃圾桶。13B。根据Mr. Lucky下文的话可知，他对自己的生活非常满足，认为自己是“最幸运的”人。14A。自己拥有那么多：妻子
31、、儿子一家人、工作，还有一点儿“闲钱”，与下文pocket相对应。15B。这个情况已经是最好，不可能“更好”了，说明Mr. Lucky非常满足。“否定词比较级”相当于最高级，故选B。16C。作者纳闷儿，Mr. Lucky视力不好，打扫卫生的工作“质量”可能会受到影响，那家店的经理为什么还要“继续”让他留任呢？17B。参见上题解析。properly“适当地”符合语境。carefully指态度方面；quickly，slowly指速度方面。18A。由后面的“get off work”可知，这里指作者在等待Mr. Lucky下班。19D。作者在等Mr. Lucky下班，故此处是在描写Mr. Lucky工作时的情形，故选worked。20B。作者终于明白了，是Mr. Lucky乐观的精神感染了这个店铺，大家都离不开他。
