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).

1—20 ADDBB DCAAB CABCB 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(kāi)。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(xiě)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(tīng)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(tīng)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(kāi)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 Waterloo in 1815.)

Christmas roses
It was the afternoon of December 24, the day before Christmas, and as the newest doctor in our office, I   36 to wok. The only thing that brightened my day was the beautifully 37 Christmas tree in our waiting room and a gift sent to me by my  38  --- a dozen red roses.

A short time later, her husband  44  ---with two armed  45 as an escort ( 護(hù)衛(wèi) ). The woman’s tired face 46 up like our little Christmas tree when her husband took a 47 beside her. I kept peeking out to watch them laugh, cry and 48 with their child.

“I was only thirteen when four of my team members and I were chosen by my swim coach to train with the Chinese National Team. The following piece shows how that experience has influenced me.”
The night before I left for China, my mother called me into her room. I entered not knowing what to expect. I sat down at the end of her very neatly-made bed, opposite the bedroom table on which she kept a Ming-style vase illustrated in great detail. She told me that my great-grandmother was still living in the surroundings of Beijing. Her name was Ren Li Ling and she was 97 years old. This was the first time I had ever heard of her.
The dragon on the vase snaked through the flowers and vines（藤蔓）as my mother said, “Pu Pu, look at me. You need to hear this so that when you go to China you will understand. You must keep this knowledge in your heart.”
She told me a story about my grandfather, Ren Li Ling's son, who left Beijing to go to college in Taiwan. She told me how the Chinese civil war kept him away from his mother for fifty years, so neither of them even knew that the other was alive. No one from Taiwan could visit, write, or call anyone in mainland. All lines of communication were cut off.
She told me of my grandfather's devotion to his own children, and how difficult it was for him to send his daughter to America for her education, fearing that same separation. He gave my mother all that he could give — nineteen years of love and fifty years of savings. I learned how my mother, through means only available in this country, would finally be able to unite my great-grandmother with my grandfather again. The dragon curled around the vase, connecting the separate vines. For a fleeting second, I felt it was present in my mother's room. It was all very strange, yet very clear. I began to understand that this trip to China was not just for me; it was for my mother, and her father, and his mother. Now, I had not only a future, but more significantly, a past. I saw the world with new eyes.
And so I went to China and met my great-grandmother. My great-aunt picked me up at the training center, and we rode in a taxi through the crowded city. The noise of the taxi and the city united into a deep roar. We finally stopped in front of a narrow street lined on either side with small one-level houses. As we made our way to a house like all the others, I drew the stares of many people in the street. My great-aunt led me through a rotting（朽爛的）doorway into a room with a furnace（爐子）, table, and a rocking chair where an old woman wearing gloves sat facing the doorway, covered with a worn brown blanket. I walked over and immediately embraced this frail woman as if I had known her all my life. My limited, broken Chinese wasn't up to expressing my complicated feelings. And even though I couldn't completely understand what she was saying in her thick Beijing accent, I knew — the same way I knew what my mother had been trying to tell me before I left. Her joy shone through her toothless smile. She wouldn't let go of my hand. I haltingly（結(jié)結(jié)巴巴地）asked her how she had managed to live such a long life. She answered in words I will never forget, “Hope has kept me alive. I have lived this long because I wanted to see my son before I died.”
My fellow team members must have wondered how two people separated by three generations could be so close. Before this trip, I would have wondered the same thing. And even now, I can't quite explain it. We were as different as two people can be; some 85 years and 8,000 miles apart. We came from two entirely different cultures; yet we were connected by a common heritage(傳統(tǒng)).
I stayed for dinner which was cooked in a black iron wok（鍋）over the furnace. The meal was lavish（過(guò)分豐盛的）, prepared in my honor. As I began to eat, with my great-grandmother beside me, I felt the dragon was present. But this time, the feeling didn't pass; the dragon had become a part of me.
My great-grandmother passed away last year at the age of 100. With her highest hopes and wildest dreams fulfilled, I know she died happy.
【小題1】 The writer’s mother called him into her room to ___________________.

A．prepare him for the trip and warn him against possible problems
B．remind him of his origin
C．a(chǎn)sk him to look for his great-grandmother
D．share with him the story of her childhood
【小題2】 The dragon is mentioned several times in the passage because __________________.
A．the vase with the dragon on it is very valuable and beautiful
B．it stands for the blood running in every Chinese
C．it is a sign of the writer’s devotion to his birthplace
D．the writer’s mother hoped the writer would be as strong as a dragon
【小題3】 How old was the writer’s mother when she was sent to America for her education.
A．13B．16C．19D．20

A．The writer’s grandfather was afraid of a war when sending his daughter to America.
B．The hope to see her son again kept the writer’s great-grandmother alive for this long.
C．It was within the writer’s expectation that he could be so close to his great-grandmother.
