試題分析:本文是一篇故事,講述了作者因與某偵探要找的人長得相似而被錯誤跟蹤的有趣經(jīng)歷。一天當作者走進飯店就餐時,無意中發(fā)現(xiàn)一個人在監(jiān)視他。當那個人看到作者和服務(wù)員很熟悉時,就到廚房里詢問,結(jié)果發(fā)現(xiàn)弄錯了。
1.A.動詞辨析。 A. noticed 發(fā)現(xiàn);B. understood 理解;C. knew知道; D. recognized認出。通讀全文可知,作者是因為長相和逃犯相似而被偵探跟蹤,他與那個人并不認識,因此可排除C,D。B與全文語境不符。
2.B.連詞辨析。 A. since自從;B. . as if 似乎,好像; C. though雖然; D. even if即使。由于那個人不停地往“我”這個方向看,給“我”的感覺是好像他認識“我”,選B。
3.B 形容詞辨析。A. flat 扁平的;B. open 敞開的; C. cut 剪切的; D. fixed固定的。根據(jù)后文可知,那個人是偵探。而根據(jù)常識可知,偵探肯定是利用那張報紙作掩護的。由此可知,那張報紙是open的。另外,下文的…h(huán)e was ___ to read 也暗示我們,報紙是打開的。
4.C動詞辨析。A. hoping 希望;B. thinking思考;C. pretending假裝; D. continuing繼續(xù)。由于下文講到那個人是偵探,并且是跟蹤“我”來餐館的,所以他肯定不是在真讀報,而是在利看報紙作掩護,故填 C最佳。
5.A動詞辨析。 A. see 看到; B. find發(fā)現(xiàn);C. guess猜想;D. learn學(xué)習(xí)。作者在上文說,那個人是在假裝看報,所以下文說的應(yīng)該是作者可以看出(see)他在盯著“我”看。
6.D.名詞辨析。 A. menu菜單;B. bill 賬單;C. paper 報紙,論文;D. food食物。根據(jù)文章開頭說的…waiting for the food I had ordered to arrive 可知,此處應(yīng)填 food。
7.C形容詞辨析。 A. direct 直接的;B. strange 奇怪的;C. familiar 熟悉的;D. funny滑稽的。文章開頭說sitting at my favorite table,既然有favorite table,說明經(jīng)常來這里。另外,下文又說all the waiters in the restaurant knew me,這說明我與服務(wù)員都很熟。由此可推知選C。
8.A動詞短語辨析。A. chatted with 與某人聊天;B. looked at 看;C. laughed at 嘲笑;D. talked about談?wù)摗8鶕?jù)此處的語境,只有chat with最佳。
9.B 名詞辨析。A. the waiter 服務(wù)員;B. time 時間;C. I 我;D. the dinner晚飯。從故事的發(fā)展看來,作者在餐館里待得時間越長,和服務(wù)員聊的越多,偵探越覺得有些奇怪,as time went on指隨著時間的推移。選B。
10.C 形容詞辨析。A. true 真實的;B. hopeful 有希望的;C. clear 清楚明白的;D. possible可能的。此處的it為形式主語,其后的that all the waiters…是主語從句,從上文內(nèi)容可以推測偵探認為餐館里所有的服務(wù)員都認識“我”這件事變得很明顯,故選clear。
11.C名詞辨析。 A. restaurant 飯店;B. washroom 洗手間;C. kitchen 廚房;D. office辦公室。根據(jù)下文講到的He came into the kitchen and showed me a photo of the wanted man 可知此處應(yīng)填 kitchen。
12.A動詞辨析。 A. left 離開;B. acted行動;C. sat down 坐下;D. calmed down冷靜下來。那個人弄清真相,即“我”不是他要找的人)后,知道自己跟錯對象了,所以付了賬離開(left)了。
13.A動詞辨析。A. wanted 想要;B. tried 嘗試;C. ordered 命令;D. wished希望。因為那個人開始一直看我,而后來從廚房出來后就看都沒看“我”一眼就離開了。根據(jù)常識,“我”出于好奇肯定要問問這個人想要干什么。
14.C 動詞辨析。A. met 見到;B. caught 逮。籆. followed跟隨;D. discovered發(fā)現(xiàn)。因為那個人是個偵探,他誤認為作者是他要找的人,所以就跟蹤他到了餐館 。
15.D動詞辨析。A. was to beat 打; B. was dealing with 對付;C. was to meet 接見,迎接;D. was looking for尋找。從故事內(nèi)容可知偵探要找罪犯,只有l(wèi)ook for 在此符合語境。
16.A名詞辨析。A.surprise 驚訝;B. care 在意; C. worry 擔(dān)心;D. regret遺憾。從情理可以推斷當作者聽到餐館老板這樣一說,自然感到非常吃驚。
17.A情態(tài)動詞辨析。A. must必須,;B. can 能夠;C. need 需要;D. may可以。從偵探認錯人和下文說的 he looked very much like you,可知餐館里的人也認為作者和罪犯非常相似,選A。句意:我必須說你和他長得非常相似。
18.B名詞辨析。 A. discovery發(fā)現(xiàn);B. mistake 錯誤;C. decision 決定;D. fortune幸運,財富。從故事內(nèi)容可知偵探誤認為作者是逃犯,所以是弄錯了,make a mistake“弄錯,犯錯誤”,選B。
19.D詞義辨析。A. a pity遺憾;B. natural 自然的;C. a chance機會;D. lucky幸運的。從情理猜測聽了餐館老板的話,作者應(yīng)該感到非常慶幸(lucky)。因為要不是在這個大家都熟悉他的餐館里,他可能就遇上麻煩了。
20.C副詞辨析。A. t hus 因此,從而;B. however 但是,然而;C. otherwise 否則,要不然;D. therefore 因此,所以。前句說it’s really lucky I came to a restaurant where I’m known,后句又說 I might have been in trouble,其間顯然只有用otherwise 來銜接才最通順。

Over the last six years I have learned what patience is. Growing up I did not have this virtue(優(yōu)點)and it is a very important virtue to have. Now I can see that if you are patient you will almost always get what you want if you are supposed to have it. I gained patience when I lost my freedom. I knew that I would eventually get it back in time.
I was locked up in prison for a period of six years because at 19 years old I was playing with a handgun and I accidentally shot and killed my friend. The first couple of years was the hardest.I was always stressed out about everything.Time was dragging by because I was always paying attention to it.While I was locked up,Tom who I talked to helped put this virtue in me.He told me that it was possible that he would never make it home but that being patient and believing that one day he would was what had made him feel better.After a while I realized why he said a lot of things to me.Once I stopped paying attention to the days and just kept in mind that I would get freedom,it seemed that my time passed quickly.
Now I am home and can see that patience paid off for me. I now use this virtue in my daily activities. I know that sometimes life gets hard and that it will pay in the end to stay patient and not to get discouraged. So if you are having a hard time in life,be patient and it will eventually work out one way or another.
