【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，作者讲述了自己一次让人尴尬的经历。刚刚在饭店做服务员时，有一天饭店客人很多，作者感到有点应付不了。但是这时她突然发现了一个托盘架，这个托盘架给了她很大帮助，让她做起事来得心应手，她甚至感到自己天生就是做这工作的人。但是正当她得意时却被人提醒她用的是别人的助步器。

（1）考查名词。A．manager“经理”； B．assistant “售货员” ； C．cook “厨师”； D．waitress “服务员”。上文说在饭店找到一份工作，下文出现了“carry the heavy trays (托盘)”，由此可知“我”是服务员，而从情理推断新手需要有经验的服务员带着一起干。所以选D。

（2）考查动词。A．promised “许诺”； B．invite“邀请”； C．allowed“允许”； D．advised“建议”。上文提到跟随一位有经验的服务员干了几天，所以应该是允许自己独自为顾客服务了。所以选C。

（3）考查副词。A．well “好地，顺利地” ； B．quickly “迅速地”； C．safely “安全地”；D．wrong“ 错误地”根据下文的叙述可知在周末出了一点小状况，所以推测第一周应该“一切都很顺利。”，故选A。

（8）考查形容词。A．angry “生气的” ； B．calm “平静的” ； C．sad “悲伤的”； D．happy“快乐的”。根据上文可知作者很吃力，所以当她看到有个托盘架时应该感到很高兴，况且这个托盘架还有一个手柄，很好使，所以选D。

（9）考查动词。A．fixed“修理”； B．trained“训练” ； C．loaded “装载”； D．waited“等候”。从常识可知新员工在正式上岗前要经过学习培训，所以选B。 （10）考查形容词。A．slower “更慢” ； B．lighter “更轻”； C．quieter“更安静”； D．easier“更容易”。根据上一句话中的handles可以推测这个作者认为的托盘架应该是很容易转动，故选D。

（11）考查动词。A．believe“相信” ； B．agree “同意” ； C．regret “遗憾”； D．pretend“假装”。根据“I was pleased with everything”可知作者有这个托盘架的帮助，做起事来得心应手，甚至不由自主的认为自己天生就是做这种工作的人。故选A。

（12）考查动词。A．letting“让”； B．making“制作，使，让” ； C．watching “观看”； D．having“吃，喝，让”。make/let/have sb. do sth. 固定短语“让某人做某事”；而watch sb. do sth.固定短语“看着某人做某事”，从语境判断选C。

（13）考查形容词。A．useful “有用的”； B．familiar“熟悉的”； C．unusual “不寻常的”； D．interesting“”有趣的”。根据上文可知作者有了这个托盘架的帮助，做起工作很轻松，所以这个托盘架对于作者是有用的。选A。

（14）考查动词。A．rest“休息”； B．order “ 命令”； C．eat “吃”； D．leave “离开”。从情理可知顾客就餐后，应该是要离开了。故选D。

（15）考查名词。A．bag “包”； B．walker “助步器”； C．tray “托盘” D．coat“ 大衣”。根据下文“I had set my trays on his wife's orthopedic walker”可知这个作者认为的托盘架是老人的助步器，所以选B。

（18）考查动词。A．lie“说谎”； B．hide “隐藏”； C．defend “防御”； D．stay“停留”。从该句前部分“I wanted to get into a hole”可知自己当时因尴尬而真想找个洞藏起来，故选B。

（19）考查动词。A．repeated “重复”； B．discovered “发现”； C．corrected“改正” ；D．described “描述” 。通读文章可知作者是以第一人称来讲述她以前亲身经历的尴尬的事情，所以选D。

13．For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

President Obama's second Inaugural Address used soaring language to stress America's commitment to the dream of equality of opportunity: 'We are true to our belief that a little girl born into 1 knows that she has the same chance to succeed as anybody else, because she is an American'.

The gap between ideal and reality could hardly be 2 . Today, the United States has less equality of opportunity than almost any other advanced industrial country. Study after study has 3 the myth that America is a land of opportunity. A way of looking at equality of opportunity is to as to what extent the life chances of a child are 4 the education and income of his parents. Is it just as likely that a child of poor or poorly educated parents gets a good education and rises to the middle class as someone born to middle-class parents with college degrees? Even in a more democratic society. The answer would be no.

How do we explain this? Some of it has to do with discrimination (歧视). Latinos and African-Americans still get paid less than whites, and women still get paid less than men, 5 they recently surpassed (超越)men in the number of advanced degrees they obtain. Discrimination, however, is only a small part of the 6 . Probably the most important reason for

7 of equality of opportunity is education. After World War Ⅱ, we made a major effort to 8 higher education to Americans across the country. But then we changed, in several ways. While racial segregation（种族隔离）decreased, economic segregation increased. After 1980, the poor grew poorer, the middle stagnated（停滞不前）, and the top did better and better. A result was a widening gap in educational performance – the 9 gap between rich and poor kids born in 2001 was 30 to 40 percent larger than it was for those born 25 years earlier, a Stanford sociologist found. Of course, there are other forces 10 . Children in rich families get more exposure to reading. Their families can afford enriching experiences like music lessons and summer camp. They get better nutrition and health care, which enhance their learning, directly and indirectly.

Now Americans are coming to realize that without extensive policy changes, their long cherished belief is only a myth. It is unreasonable that a rich country like the United States has made 11 to higher education so difficult for those at the bottom and middle. There are many 12 ways of providing chances for more to receive higher education, from Australia's income-contingent loan program to the near-free system of universities in Europe. A more educated population produces greater innovation, and a booming economy. Those benefits are why we've long been 13 to free public education through 12th grade. But while a 12th-grade education might have been enough a century ago, it isn't today. Yet we haven't 14 our system to contemporary realities.

The steps I've outlined are not just affordable but necessary. Even more important, though, is that we cannot afford to let our country drift farther from 15 that the vast majority of Americans share. We will never fully succeed in achieving Mr. Obama's vision of a poor girl's having exactly the same opportunities as a wealthy girl. But we could do much, much better, and must not rest until we do. 1. A. prejudice 2. A. narrower

14．阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

My grandmother was always encouraging me to set goals and work hard to achieve them. She would tell me not to be a follower and not to set 1 on what I could achieve. She 2 believed that there were no limits and that you could 3 whatever you wanted to. I would never forget the following story that she once told me: A farmer won first 4 at the country fair for his huge radish (萝卜)that was the exact shape and 5 of a milk bottle. Many were 6 as to how the farmer was able to grow this radish that was the exact shape of a milk bottle.

7 one gentleman went up to the farmer and asked the question. The farmer replied, \"It was 8 . I got the seed growing and then I put it into the milk bottle. It had 9 else to go.\"

You can use this story as an analogy(类比，类推) to life--our lives are 10 by the kind of surroundings we place ourselves in, the people that we allow to 11 us, and the goals we give ourselves.

If we only 12 and take no action, then we get no further. But if we 13 , set a goal and take action, then our life takes a 14 shape.

Goals and actions can help us accomplish more in a year than what some people will accomplish in a lifetime. To prove this 15 , read the biographies of 16 people and you will see that goals and actions 17 played a big role in their success.

18 Mary Kay Ash puts it, \"Don't limit yourself.” Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go 19 your mind lets you. Whatever you believe, remember, you can achieve.

In summary, don't put yourself in a bottle; in other words, move out of what is 20 and secure if you want to move forward. 1. A. expectations B. rules 2. A. truly 3. A. win 4. A. remark 5. A. size 6. A. doubtful 8. A. strange 9. A. nowhere 10. A. shaped 12. A. dream 13. A. struggle 14. A. fancy 15. A. theory 17. A. as usual 18. A. Which 19. A. as if

B. naturally B. grasp B. prize B. quality B. worried B. easy B. founded B. refuse B. insist B. different B. lesson B. above all B. As B. in case

C. limits C. tightly C. wonder C. bargain C. weight C. anxious C. funny

D. lines D. partly D. achieve D. reward D. colour D. curious D. Actually D. secret

7. A. Immediately B. Gradually C. Finally

B. everywhere C. somewhere D. anywhere

C. controlled D. improved C. influence D. contact C. survive C. continue C. solid C. point C. friendly C. at all C. That C. as far as C. ordinary

D. change D. plan D. clear D. evidence D. careful D. in fact D. What D. as long as D. boring

11. A. understand B. help

16. A. successful B. brave

20. A. comfortable B. valuable

Optimism and pessimism are both powerful forces. Each of us must choose which we want to 1 our future and our expectations. We can choose to laugh or cry, bless or 2 It's our decision: from which perspective do we want to view life? Will we look up in 3 or down in desperation?

I believe in the upward look. I choose to 4 the positive and skip right over the negative. An optimistic attitude is not a luxury(奢侈品); it's a(n) 5 The way you look at life will determine how you feel, how you perform, and how well you will get along with other people. 6 negative thoughts, attitudes, and expectations 7 themselves; they become a self-fulfilling prophecy(预言). Pessimism creates a dark place where no one wants to live.

Years ago, I drove into a service station to get some gas. It was a beautiful day, and I was feeling great. As I walked into the station to pay for the gas, the attendant said to me, “ How do you feel?” That seemed like a(n) 8 question, but I felt fine and told him so. “You don't look well,” he replied. This 9 me completely by surprise. A little 10 confidently, I told him that I had 11 felt better. Without hesitation, he continued to tell me how bad I looked and that my skin appeared yellow.

By the time I left the service station, I was feeling a little 12 About a block away, I 13 over to the side of the road to look at my face in the mirror. How did I feel? Was I affected with jaundice(黄疸)? Was every all right? By the time I got home, I was beginning to feel a little nauseous(恶心). Did I have a bad liver? Had I 14 some rare disease?

On another beautiful day, when I went into that gas station, feeling 15 again, Ifigured out what had happened. The place had recently been painted a bright, distasteful 16 and the light reflecting 17 the walls made everyone inside look as though they had hepatitis(肝炎)! I wondered how many other folks had 18 the way I did. I had let one short conversation with a total 19 change my attitude for an entire day. He told me I looked sick, and before long, I was actually feeling sick. That single 20 observation had a great effect on the way I felt and acted.
