Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。

I was ten when I first sat with my grandmother behind the cashier(收銀臺(tái)) in her grocery store. _【1】__ I quickly learned the importance of treating customers politely and saying “thank you.”

At first I was paid in candy. _【2】_ I worked every day after school, and during the summer and on weekends and holidays from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. My father helped me set up a bank account._ 【3】__

By the time I was 12, my grandmother thought I had done such a good job that she promoted me to selling cosmetics(化妝品). I developed the ability to look customers directly in the eye. Even though I was just a kid, women would ask me such things as “What color do you think I should wear?” I took a real interest in their questions and was able to translate what they wanted into makeup(化妝) ideas. _【4】__

The job taught me a valuable lesson: to be a successful salesperson, you didn’t need to be a rocket scientist—you needed to be a great listener. _【5】__ Expect they are no longer women buying cosmetics from me; instead, they are kids who tell me which toys they would like to see designed and developed.

A. Later I received 50 cents an hour.

B. Before long, she let me sit there by myself.

C. I ended up selling a record amount of cosmetics.

D. Today I still carry that lesson with me: I listen to customers.

E. My grandma’s trust taught me how to handle responsibility（承擔(dān)責(zé)任）.

F. Soon I found myself looking more beautiful than ever before.

G. Watching my money grow was more rewarding/worthy than anything I could have bought.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】B

【2】A

【3】G

【4】C

【5】D

【解析】

試題分析：

【1】B 考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。考查從后一句I quickly learned the importance of treating customers politely and saying ”thank you”. 可推知, 作者的祖母先讓作者跟著她學(xué), 然后讓作者獨(dú)立工作, 所以他很快懂得有禮貌地對(duì)待客人的重要性。故選B。

【2】A 考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。前面有at first, 和本項(xiàng)中的later一致。A選項(xiàng)Later邏輯上與之對(duì)應(yīng)，故選A。

【3】G 考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)前一句的My father helped me set up a bank account. 可確定G選項(xiàng)Watching my money grow was more rewarding/worthy than anything I could have bought.說這比我能買的任何東西都有價(jià)值，與之呼應(yīng)。故選G。

【4】C 考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)前一句I took a real interest in their questions and was able to translate what they wanted into makeup(化妝) ideas.確定C選項(xiàng)I ended up selling a record amount of cosmetics由于我賣化妝品的優(yōu)秀的銷售能力，打破了賣化妝品的記錄。故選C。

【5】D 考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。上文提到a valuable lesson, 這里承接上下文。故選D。
