由于競(jìng)爭(zhēng)激烈，作者一開始對(duì)于兒子應(yīng)聘一家公司的工作并未抱太大的希望。結(jié)果兒子最后卻被錄用了。對(duì)此作者深有感觸，認(rèn)為尊重別人的工作就會(huì)在同等條件下比別人獲得更多的機(jī)會(huì)。

16．A　根據(jù)下文“which would later decide the one to be employed”可知，公司計(jì)劃只雇用一個(gè)人。employ表示“雇用”；support表示“支持”；manage表示“管理，經(jīng)營(yíng)，能應(yīng)付”；interview表示“面試，采訪”。

17．C　根據(jù)上下文語(yǔ)境可知，參與應(yīng)聘的有20人，從中只錄取1人，作者認(rèn)為兒子進(jìn)入該公司的難度很大，于是提醒兒子。interrupt表示“打斷”；promise表示“答應(yīng)，許諾”；remind表示“提醒，使想起”；follow表示“跟隨，聽懂”�！皉eminded”符合語(yǔ)境。

18．B　根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知，此處指作者提醒兒子不要抱太大希望，以免沒被雇用后會(huì)失望。在四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，“expect”表示“期望，預(yù)期，預(yù)料”，符合語(yǔ)境。

19．D　句意：兒子笑著說：“只要我盡力就有希望�！彼膫�(gè)選項(xiàng)均可引導(dǎo)狀語(yǔ)從句，as if用來引導(dǎo)方式狀語(yǔ)從句；as soon as引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句；even if引導(dǎo)讓步狀語(yǔ)從句，as long as引導(dǎo)條件狀語(yǔ)從句。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知，空格處表示的是一種條件。

20．A　根據(jù)下文“entered the final”可知，在20名應(yīng)聘人當(dāng)中，只有3人能夠進(jìn)入最后一輪。enter表示“進(jìn)入”，故答案選A。

21．B　根據(jù)下文語(yǔ)境可知，兒子進(jìn)入了最后一輪面試，由此推知，此處指一切似乎進(jìn)展不錯(cuò)。go有“進(jìn)行”之意，符合語(yǔ)境。故答案選B。

22．A　作者的兒子通過了第一輪面試，進(jìn)入到最后一輪。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知，空格處應(yīng)該使用“passed”。

23．B　句意：出乎意料，最后一輪面試出奇地簡(jiǎn)單，就是回家等待面試結(jié)果。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)均為形容詞，challenging表示“具有挑戰(zhàn)性的”；simple表示“簡(jiǎn)單的，簡(jiǎn)樸的”；perfect表示“完美的”；secret表示“秘密的”。B項(xiàng)符合語(yǔ)境。

24．D　根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知，此處指的是回家等待最終的面試結(jié)果。result 意為“結(jié)果”，符合語(yǔ)境。

25．B　根據(jù)下文“The three men received the same text…”可知，應(yīng)選received。

26．A　句意：在我還沒想出該說什么來安慰?jī)鹤訒r(shí)……　figure out表示“想出，理解”；take up表示“從事，拿起，占據(jù)”；set off表示“出發(fā)，動(dòng)身”；work on表示“繼續(xù)工作”。由此可知，空格處應(yīng)該使用“figured out”。

27．C　根據(jù)上文中的“a text”及“another”可知，空格處應(yīng)該選“text”，表示又收到了一份通知。

28．B　ridiculously表示“荒唐地”；actually表示“實(shí)際上”；cleverly表示“伶俐地，聰明地”；sadly表示“傷心地”。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知，實(shí)際上，第一份通知也是面試測(cè)試的一部分，B項(xiàng)符合文意。

29．A　根據(jù)下文“I asked my son…they replied.”可知，在參加最后一輪面試的三個(gè)人當(dāng)中，只有作者兒子的答復(fù)令公司滿意。reply表示“回答，答復(fù)”，符合文意。

30．C　根據(jù)下文“My son told me that one…silent，one said‘good­bye’and he said‘thank you’．”可知此處指作者問兒子他們是如何答復(fù)公司的，故答案選C。

31．B　keep silent為固定短語(yǔ)，意為“保持沉默”，符合語(yǔ)境。

32．A　只有那時(shí)，作者才知道兒子的希望是以這種方式獲得的。hope符合文意，并和上文“I try，there will be hope！”相呼應(yīng)。

33．D　句意：不要忘記對(duì)即使是令你失望的那些人說聲謝謝。cheat表示“欺騙，作弊”；hate表示“憎恨，不喜歡”；dislike表示“不喜歡”；disappoint表示“使失望”。由此可知，disappoint符合文意。

34．C　句意：說聲謝謝能顯示你對(duì)別人工作的尊重。pity表示“憐憫，同情”；doubt表示“懷疑”；respect表示“尊敬，尊重”；desire表示“愿望”。C項(xiàng)符合文意。

35．A　作者認(rèn)為，尊重別人的工作就會(huì)在同等條件下比別人有更多的機(jī)會(huì)。chance意為“機(jī)會(huì)”，符合文意。

NEW YORK (AP) — The investigation into the disappearance of 6-year-old Etan Patz has gone through decades and countries, from basements to rooftops and seemingly everywhere in between.
No one has ever been charged criminally — and the little boy with sandy brown hair and a toothy grin was declared dead in 2001.
This week, the six-year-old boy who went missing from the Soho area of New York City in 1979 is back in the news. Police and the FBI are investigating a possible lead into the 33-year-old case of Etan Patz, the first missing child to appear on the side of a milk box.
The child disappeared on the way to school on the morning of May 25, 1979. It was the first time he was allowed to walk the two blocks to the bus stop alone.
A tip seemed to have led officials to the basement of a building on the corner of Prince and Wooster streets, about a block and a half from where Etan had lived with his family.
The name Etan Patz has become a hot topic on Twitter as people weigh in on the case. Shirley Brady noted: “As mom to a 6 years old in Soho, it’s still held out by locals as cautionary tale (警示故事).” Another wrote, “Boy who disappeared on his way to school in 1979 has been REOPENED! Crazy.” One wondered, “Why is FBI and NYPD searching for a kid that disappeared in 1979?”
Good question. This is a case that Stuart Gra Bois, as an assistant U.S. lawyer under Rudolph Giuliani, followed for years. It became the most famous missing-person case in New York City, turned a nationwide spotlight on missing children, and created headlines around the globe. No one was ever stated guilty of the crime.
The case led to the creation of National Missing Children’s Day, marked on May 25, the day the blond-haired, blue-eyed child went missing.
The case has even pointed to a suspect, charged with child molester (猥褻者) Julio Antonio Ramos, who is currently in prison. Patz’s babysitter had been dating the man, and Ramos did know the kid, but has denied taking him away.
New evidence in the case suggests another suspect who lived in the apartment at the time: a local handyman named Othniel Miller, who gave Etan $1 for helping him the night before the disappearance.
The man’s name had come up in an earlier investigation, but he was a friend of the Patz family, and the NYPD did not follow the lead.
Investigators plan to be at the site, 127 B Prince St., which is now a Lucky Brand jeans store, for the next two to three days to search for human remains. The Associated Press reports that the excavation (挖掘) has been the result of a recently ordered review of the case by Manhattan’s police. 
【小題1】We can learn from the first three paragraphs that ________.

A．The 6-year-old missing boy was found by the side of a milk box
B．Police and the FBI have not been following the case of Etan Patz for 33 years
C．The investigation into the disappearance of boy has worked fruitlessly for decades
D．Etan Patz went missing from the Soho area of New York city in 1979 and died in 2001
【小題2】What does the underlined phrase “weigh in on the case” mean?
A．ignore the case B．feel stressed on the case
C．reopen the case D．begin to discuss the case
【小題3】What was a possible cause of reopening the case of Etan Patz?
A．Local lawyers strongly demanded the reopening of the case.
B．The Associated Press reported the result of the review of the case.
C．New evidence appeared which led officials to the basement of a building.
D．Local people realized the importance of the case without criminal being charged.
【小題4】Which of the following statements is true in the text?
A．The National Missing Children’s Day was created on May 25, 1979.
B．The search for human remains will be carried out at 127 B Prince Street.
C．The NYPD didn’t follow the lead of Julio Antonio for he had been dating Patz’ babysitter.
D．Othniel Miller, a local handyman assisted Etan and gave him $1 before the disappearance.
【小題5】We can learn from the passage that ________.
A．People air the same view about the case on the Internet
B．People reject the reopening of the case of the missing boy
C．The missing-person case still has a long-lasting influence on people
D．Twitter is the only place for people to discuss about missing-person cases
