25、，此处是指“他当了几年警察”。2C分析语境“hed opened a shop”可知，此处是指“小店的生意不太好”，business “生意”符合语境。3A根据单词divorce的意思为“离婚”，可知此处是指“后来，他又经历了一次痛苦的离婚”。4B根据前面的内容可知，“他参加了(joined)潜水团体旅游”，故可判断这里指“水下约11米”。5Dwatch out for当心，留心；give in to屈服；put up with容忍，忍受； drop out of退出。此处是指“受伤使埃姆什被迫退出了潜水之旅”。6A由后文可知他没有回家，故此处意为：他本来可以收拾行李(packed up)回家
26、(而没有回家)，分析语境可知A符合题意。7B根据语境可知他想看一看附近的岛屿。8D由后面 “to show him around” 可知，他雇请了当地的一位导游(guide)。9D根据前面的句意可知，他被迷人的风景和独特的文化所吸引了，但是影响(affected)他最深的是他与弗里茨的对话。因此D项符合文意。10C由空格前后内容“Fritz earned about $140 a monthand took on odd jobs to provide for his wife and son.”可推知，Fritz 薪水少，靠做零工来养活妻儿，可推断出他居住的条件不好，应当是住在一所破旧的(shabby)房子里。11A由前文的转折连词but以及后文“They looked content though they were poor.”可推断出，他意识到弗里茨过得很幸福。12D根据转折词still可知，此处是指“我已经拥有了我想要的一切，仍然一直抱怨(complain)”。13A此处是指“过上这种幸福生活，我应该感到幸运(lucky)”。14C根据语境可知，此处是指“从那时起，埃姆什对生活有了新的看法”。view 在此是“看法，观点”之意，符合语境。15A根据上文的语境可知，埃姆什对生活的态度发生了变化，所以才说“旅行真正改变了我的生活”。
