Question

On a hot summer day in late August, I sought shade and a cool drink at a waterfront cafe on a Greek island. Over hundred degrees in1air. Crowded. Tempers(脾氣)of both the tourists and waiters had2to meet the situation, making it a rather quarrelsome environment(環(huán)境).
At the table next to mine sat an attractive,3couple, waiting for4. They held hands, whispered, kissed, and laughed. Suddenly they stood, picked up their5and stepped together6the edge of where they were sitting to place the table in the sea water. The man stepped7for the two chairs. He politely8his lady in the knee-deep water and then sat down himself. All people around laughed and cheered.
9appeared. He paused for just a second, walked into the water to10the table and take their11, and then walked back to the12cheers of the rest of his13. Minutes later he returned carrying a bottle of wine and two glasses. Without pausing, he went
14into the water to15the wine. The couple toasted(祝酒)each other, the waiter and the crowd. And the crowd16by cheering and throwing flowers to them. Three other tables17to have lunch in the water. The place was now filled with laughter.
One doesn’t step into water in one’s best summer clothes. Why not?
Customers are not served18. Why not?
Sometimes one should consider19the line of convention(常規(guī))and enjoy20to the fullest.

Answer 1

CDCBA BDBCA DABCD ABCDA
1根據(jù)前兩個關(guān)鍵詞，再比較選項(xiàng)，這時空氣應(yīng)該是靜止的(C)。 
2　線索為quarrelsome（可根據(jù)詞根quarrel猜測詞義）, 說明這時人們的脾氣都長了(D. rise指上漲)，導(dǎo)致氣氛有點(diǎn)吵吵鬧鬧的。　
3　根據(jù)whispered, laughed可排除A、D。他們并沒關(guān)注別人，所以B也不對，下文的in one’s best clothes可證實(shí)此判斷。
4　此處有服務(wù)之意。
5　本句較長，攻破長句的辦法是確定主要框架：they stood, picked… and stepped… to place…; 這樣就可看出拿起的東西后來放在水中了，所以應(yīng)該選桌子。
6 　如果選A、C或D，那對夫婦就沒離開原來坐的位置。所以只有表示離開的off正
7 前面放了桌子，要坐下還需要椅子，所以走回來拿，選back。
8 　從男人自己也坐下了可看出這里是讓the lady坐在水中，所以選seated。led 指帶領(lǐng)，但是the lady已經(jīng)站在水邊了。　
9 注意挖空出現(xiàn)在段落銜接位置，通常和上段相關(guān)。上文中還留著waiting for  , 這里出現(xiàn)的應(yīng)該是和等待相關(guān)的，后文這人拿了酒來，所以可斷定填waiter. 此時也可斷定為service. 
10-13 空在同一個長句中。不過確定了waiter就可想到是為客人服務(wù)，擺好（set）桌子、聽客人點(diǎn)菜（order）人們之前只 cheer了一次，之后還有，所以不是熟悉的，或者最后的，也不可能是焦慮的，所以選loud。有his，所以不選tourists, assistants, fellows指伙伴，服務(wù)生在工作應(yīng)該沒幾個伙伴在場，所以應(yīng)該選眾多的customers 。
14 第一次入水時他猶豫了，但這次他沒猶豫，所以這里是再次(C)。
15 　拿來的酒是客人點(diǎn)的所以選serve：上酒�！�
16 　上句那對夫婦對大家祝酒，所以其他人在回應(yīng)（replied）�！�
17 　其他人也加入到水中用餐的行列，所以選joined in�！�
18 　聯(lián)系并列的上一句和上面的have lunch in the water，可知通常不會在水里上菜，所以C對�！　�
19-20 　聯(lián)系前面發(fā)議論的兩句可知不符合常規(guī)，所以19選跳出(D)常規(guī)。更好地享受生活，20選生活，因?yàn)閟ometimes體現(xiàn)出是從這次經(jīng)歷推及平常生活。
