Question

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

I was ten when I first sat with my grandmother behind the cashier（收銀臺）in her general 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】 Except they are no longer women purchasing 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 my 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.

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

G. Watching my money grow was more rewarding 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：通過作者的故事，讓人們了解到工作給作者上了寶貴的一課，今天他仍然帶著這個教訓(xùn)：我要聽客戶的。

【1】B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待客人的重要性。故選B

【2】A前面有At first“首先，開始”。和本項中的later“后來”一致。故選A。

【3】G根據(jù)前一句的My father helped me set up a bank account。我的父親幫助我建立一個銀行賬戶�？芍�此空表達(dá)的意思是：看我的錢增長比我買任何東西都更有意義。可確定答案為G。

【4】C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.我對他們的問題真的感興趣，并能夠把他們想要的轉(zhuǎn)變成化妝的想法�？芍�下一句要說“我結(jié)束了我化妝品的銷售記錄”。故確定答案為C。

【5】D上文提到The job taught me a valuable lesson。這份工作教會了我寶貴的一課。這里承接上下文�？芍�此空要表達(dá)的意思是：今天我仍然帶著這個教訓(xùn)：我要聽客戶的。故選D。

【七選五題型分析】

分析篇章結(jié)構(gòu)，把握全篇文脈是閱讀填空題解題的關(guān)鍵，英語的語篇（discourse）通常是由句子和語段（sentence group）構(gòu)成的，語段是句子和語篇之間的中間層次，句子雖然能夠單獨(dú)地表達(dá)相對完整的思想，但是它不能表達(dá)多方面的、比較復(fù)雜的思想，只有把幾個句子結(jié)合為較大的言語片段，才能表達(dá)一個相對獨(dú)立的層意，所謂的“積句而成章，積章而成篇�！本褪沁@個道理。

分析文章的層次包含兩種形式：一種是分析整篇文章的層次，也就是段落，另一種是分析每一個段落內(nèi)部的層次，也就是語篇層次。

語篇與段落是有區(qū)別的，語段是篇章結(jié)構(gòu)的中間層次，是由句子到篇的一種過渡形式，段落（paragraph）是在某些語體（如記敘文、議論文）中比語段更大的意義單位，較小的段落可以只包括一個語段或一個句子，一般來說，一個段落通常由幾個語段構(gòu)成。構(gòu)成語段的方式有兩種，一是靠句際間意義的結(jié)合，二是靠句際間的關(guān)聯(lián)詞，邏輯性插入語來連接，在分析語段層次時，可以借助句際間的連接詞語作出判斷，但最主要的還是要真正體會句際間的意義關(guān)系，把握作者的思路，從語序上去發(fā)現(xiàn)斷續(xù)點(diǎn)，理清層次，好文章的層次非常清晰，只有層層入手，才能真正理解文章。比如：這篇文章的最后一段，第一句就概括了這一段的主題，The job taught me a valuable lesson“這份工作教會了我寶貴的一課”，隨后是這一教訓(xùn)的具體內(nèi)容。順理成章，可知這一空格上表達(dá)的應(yīng)該是：今天我仍然帶著這個教訓(xùn)：我要聽客戶的。緊隨其后，他還從這些人當(dāng)中獲得更多的信息。整個段落非常完整。
