When I woke next morning, I was dying of _1__. I seemed to have a hole instead of a _2__.  I dressed quickly and hurried down to the dinning-room. It was a big room with six tall windows and the ugliest wallpaper I had ever seen! _3_, I had been told the hotel was not beautiful but that you were better __4_ there than in any other hotel; and that was _5__ I wanted just then.
The waiter came hurrying up. Before I came downstairs I had prepared __6__ carefully for what I must __7__. I had looked three times in my dictionary to make sure __8__ “breakfast” really meant “breakfast”. I had tried to get the right __9_ and I had stood in the front of a mirror and twisted my mouth until it ached.
The waiter asked me _10__ I could not understand, but I spoke only my one prepared word “breakfast”. He looked at me in a   11  way. So I repeated it. Still he did not understand. It was  12  that English people didn’t understand their language. The waiter   13  his head and went away, but he came back in a minute and brought a tray with tea, bread and butter — enough to feed a small army — and went away. But I was hungry, and I left   14 . When the waiter came back I thought his face showed a little   15 , but you can never __16_. What a waiter’s face really shows! In another minute he brought _17__ tray with some bacon(熏肉) and some eggs. He   18  have misunderstood me, but I thought it was no use explaining to people who don’t understand their own language, so I just set to work on the bacon and eggs, wondering whether I could possibly clear that plate.
Well, I finished the bacon and eggs. I got up and made my way slowly to my room — at least five pound   19 . I never believed until then that any meal could   20  me, but on that day I met my Waterloo(滑鐵盧).

Answer 1

1-5 ADDBB 6-10 DCAAB 11-15 CABCB 16-20 ABDBC

1. 整個(gè)故事都是講作者進(jìn)餐的情況，hunger 和下文的dining-room 等單詞自然聯(lián)系上了。
2. 餓了的時(shí)候，胃是空的。
3.  however (然而；可是)多插在句子中間，有時(shí)放在句首或句末，由逗號(hào)隔開。本題空格后有逗號(hào)，故選D。
4.  feed sb. =" give" food to sb. 提供的飯菜較好，而不單純指吃這個(gè)動(dòng)作。
5.  what 在這里引導(dǎo)主語(yǔ)從句在從句中做wanted 的賓語(yǔ)。
6. prepare (sb.)ready for , 而且下面談到了做準(zhǔn)備的過(guò)程。
7. say應(yīng)有賓語(yǔ)，句中what 起賓語(yǔ)作用。對(duì)我要說(shuō)的話做了認(rèn)真的準(zhǔn)備。即在飯店里要用哪些詞。explain要有explain sth to sb。
8. 從句子結(jié)構(gòu)看，句中需要一個(gè)連接詞來(lái)引導(dǎo)賓語(yǔ)從句。所以要選that而不是其他的介詞。
9. 練習(xí)單詞的拼寫或搞懂詞義不一定對(duì)著鏡子練，故排除其他選項(xiàng)。
10.該句的含義是：“那位男服務(wù)員問(wèn)了些我聽不懂的話”。如果填入D的話，句子的含義為“問(wèn)我有什么不懂的”，這就違背了句子的意愿。
11. 他答非所問(wèn)，男招待迷惑不解。
12.　unbelievable的意思是“難以置信”。英國(guó)人不懂自己的語(yǔ)言，真令人難以置信。作者只是驚訝，而未遺憾。
13.　男招待搖頭表示沒(méi)聽懂。bowed his head 表示相反的含義。
14.　他餓極了，吃光了食物，與故事開頭相呼應(yīng)。
15. 吃下了許多食物使這位男招待著實(shí)有點(diǎn)吃驚。
16. 難得說(shuō)清楚這位男招待的表情。tell有“辨別”的意思。
17. another 常表示“另一”。如： Drink another glass of milk.
18.  must have done 表示對(duì)過(guò)去事情的肯定推測(cè)。
19.  heavy 是一般用語(yǔ)，weighty 多用于比喻。吃了許多食物，至少重了五磅。
20. 根據(jù)故事結(jié)尾而得到答案。I met my Waterloo =" I" was completely defeated (Napoleon was defeated at Wateloo in 1815.)
