He the saleswoman and with a slight , possibly German, asked where the women’s shoes were sold. “Fourth floor.” She responded in a voice I could hear 10 miles away. “Pardon? Where did you say they were?” he asked again, apparently . Clearly the old man was somewhat “Fourth floor, sir,” the friendly saleswoman replied patiently, this time so that customers turned to see what was causing the .

I continued watching as the man thanked the saleswoman and for what I assumed was the fourth floor. But rather than walk to the or the lift, he dashed behind a shelf, took out a notebook and started writing hurriedly, with an almost mad on his face. Then he went straight up to another saleswoman and asked where the women’s shoes were sold. Again he asked her to the answer and once more he walked away and took down some notes.

He did this three more times before a department store , thinking him mad, removed him from the store. But rather than be , the old man departed with a huge smile on his face. Although the incident was , it was not until a year later, during my first year of university, that I gave it any further . I walked into my language classroom and met my professor.

【解析】

試題分析：在商店里一位老人用帶著方言的口音再三問一些女售貨員賣女鞋的地方，然后在一個筆記本里偷偷記錄著什么。即使是遭到顧客們的圍觀和商店保安的驅(qū)趕也沒有感到難堪。這件事在我上了大學(xué)看到教語言學(xué)的教授才明白了。教授是在研究方言的交際運用的問題嗎？

1.看見；B. notice注意；C. neglect忽視；D. find發(fā)現(xiàn)。他正在努力顯得很普通但是他很難不被人注意到。故選B。

2.跟蹤、理解；B. interviewed采訪、面試；C. chose選擇； D. approached走近。他走近女售貨員，后面是問女士的鞋子在哪里買，所以這里應(yīng)該是走近去問路。故自選D。

3.懷疑；B. voice聲音；C. accent口音；D. smile微笑。用稍微帶一點很可能是德語的口音問了一個問題。根據(jù)后面的German可知是老人說話帶著地方音。故選C。

4.迷惑的；B. amused愉悅的、有趣的；C. annoyed煩惱的；D. tired累的。一遍一遍地問，顯然說明他很迷惑不解，沒聽明白。故選A。

5.傻；B. shy害羞；C. deaf耳聾的；D. weak身體虛弱的。女售貨員的聲音從10里地以外的地方都能聽到而站在的對面的老人卻聽不到，只能理解成老人可能是耳聾。故選C。

6.生氣地；B. loudly大聲；C. suddenly突然；D. quickly快速地。女售貨員的聲音很大聲音才會導(dǎo)致一些顧客的圍觀。故選B。

7.干擾、騷亂；B. accident事故；C. pleasure快樂；D. quarrel爭吵。人們都走過來看到底是什么原因?qū)е逻@么大聲的吵鬧。故選A。

8.放好；B. passed away去世；C.pulled away脫身； D. headed off轉(zhuǎn)移方向去。老人謝過那位女售貨員，然后轉(zhuǎn)身朝著我認(rèn)為的四樓走去。故選D。

9.鞋子；B. stairs樓梯；C. exit出口；D. sign指示牌、手勢。根據(jù)后面的lift電梯可知，老人沒有走向樓梯或者電梯，而是沖到一個架子后面，拿出一個筆記本開始匆匆忙忙地寫著。故選B。

10.迷惑；B. appearance外貌；C. pain痛苦；D. expression表情。老人臉上幾乎是瘋狂的當(dāng)然應(yīng)該是表情。故選D。

11.回答；B. recite背誦；C. repeat重復(fù)；D. retell復(fù)述。和前面的一樣，他問另一位女售貨員同樣的問題，同樣的重復(fù)了剛才的那一幕。故選C。

12.保安；B. customer顧客；C.saleswoman女售貨員；D. policeman警察。一個百貨商店的保安認(rèn)為他瘋了，把他從商店趕出去之前，他又這樣做了三次。商店的保安有職責(zé)保證商店的安全，所以才把他從商店趕出去。故選A。

13.激動；B. embarrassed尷尬；C. relaxed放松；D. moved感動。老人不但沒有感動尷尬，反而臉上掛著大大的笑容離開了。被保安趕出去，按常理應(yīng)該感到很難堪，故選B。

14.不同尋常；B. serious 嚴(yán)肅；C. dangerous危險； D. unforgettable難忘。盡管這件事很不同尋常，才和后面的再思考一致，這件事不一般是思考之一，進(jìn)一步思考是看到教我語言學(xué)的老師就是那位老人。故選A。

15.好奇；B. sense感覺；C. thought思考；D. idea想法。一年以后，我上大學(xué)一年級，才對那件事有了進(jìn)一步的思考。教我語言學(xué)的老師就是那位老人。故選C。
