impressions of you，on your desk和下文的sometimes from hundreds of miles away，only by phone，再结合全文可知that little device是指电话，由此可判断选D项：他们从来没有见到(meet)过你。accept接受；notice注意；hear听说；meet遇见。‎ ‎❷　A．came B．moved C．ran D．developed 解析：上下文语境题。他们对你的了解全部通过这台装置，有时是来自数百英里之外。come from“来自”，符合语境。come来；move移动；run跑；develop开发，培养。‎ ‎❸　A．Thus B．Yet C．Then D．Indeed 解析：上下文语境题。前文提到“他们对你的了解全部通过这台装置，有时来自数百英里远的地方”，本空用副词yet表示转折含义：可是他们觉得他们能够了解你……thus因此；yet然而；then随后，那么；indeed的确，确实。‎ ‎❹　A．rather B．also C．just D．already 解析：上文语境题。前文说他们没见过你，他们有时离你数百英里远，这里用just表示“仅仅；只是”，此处指“但是他们觉得只需要听到你的声音就能了解你”。rather很，非常；also也，还；just仅仅；already已经。‎ ‎❺　A．telephone B．voice C．connection D．impression 解析：上下文语境题。本题很容易因为前文中的the sound of your voice而错选B项“voice”，但是文章开头说到“that little device”，因此这里讲的是“你书桌上的那台小装置”，下文也提到only by phone和travel through wires，因此本题选A项“电话”。telephone电话；voice嗓音；connection联系；impression印象。‎ ‎❻　A．direct B．useful C．easy D．accurate 解析：下文语境题。通读下文可知，作者开始时因为瑞妮在电话里的声音很冷淡而生气，但见面后，却发现她是个wonderful lady，因此该空选accurate“准确的”，此处是说(电话是)强大的，但不总是准确的。direct直接的；useful有用的；easy容易的；accurate准确的。‎ ‎❼　A．in person B．by myself C．in public D．on purpose 解析：上文语境题。in person表示“亲自”，never met in person与上文的faceless相呼应。in person亲自；by oneself独自；in public公开地；on purpose故意地。‎ ‎❽　A．annoyed B．interested C．discouraged D．confused 解析：上文语境题。作者的这个旅行代理人总能给他最低价格(rock－bottom prices)，但是她冷冰冰的声音让作者不开心，根据语境可知选A项“annoyed”。annoyed生气的；interested感兴趣的；discouraged沮丧的；confused困惑不解的。‎ ‎❾　A．promote B．train C．find D．know 解析：上文语境题。作者对瑞妮冷冰冰的语气很是气恼，有时希望另外找个代理人。promote提升；train训练；find找到；know知道。‎ 　A．arrange B．postpone C．confirm D．book 解析：下文语境题。由下文的a family emergency可知，作者家中有急事，需要马上坐飞机回家，故选book“预订”。arrange安排；postpone推迟；confirm证实；book预订。‎ 　A．for the first time B．at any time C．from time to time D．in good time 解析：上文语境题。上文提到，作者之前与瑞妮从来没有见过面，因此这里选for the first time“第一次”。for the first time第一次；at any time随时；from time to time不时，偶尔；in good time及早，有足够的时间。‎ 　A．expecting B．seeing C．testing D．avoiding 解析：下文语境题。作者跑到瑞妮的办公室，坐在桌旁的瑞妮看到(see)作者着急的样子就跳了起来，满是同情。expect期待；see看见；test检测；avoid避免。‎ 　A．shy B．comforting C．familiar D．forced 解析：上文语境题。根据上文中madness可知作者很着急，因此这里用comforting“令人欣慰的”：她给了我一个令人欣慰的微笑。shy腼腆的；comforting令人安慰的；familiar熟悉的；forced勉强的。‎ 　A．bill B．form C．ticket D．list 解析：上文语境题。上文提到作者家里有急事，需要立即坐飞机回去(an immediate flight home)，因此此处说的是给作者打印飞机票(ticket)。bill账单；form表格；ticket票；list清单。‎ 　A．hopefully B．disappointedly C．gratefully D．regretfully 解析：上文语境题。作者遇到这么热心的旅行代理人，当然是心存感激(gratefully)。hopefully有希望地；disappointedly失望地；gratefully感激地；regretfully遗憾地。‎ 　A．careful B．serious C．nervous D．pleasant 解析：下文语境题。此处应与下文的a big smile，waving to wish me a safe trip相呼应，故用pleasant“令人愉悦的”。careful仔细的；serious严肃的；nervous紧张的；pleasant愉悦的。‎ 　A．amused B．worried C．helpless D．speechless 解析：‎ 上下文语境题。作者想到自己当初对瑞妮的错误判断，而眼前的瑞妮是那么热心，因此一时竟不知道该说什么(speechless)了。amused逗乐的；worried担心的；helpless无助的；speechless说不出话的。‎ 　A．calm B．nice C．proud D．clever 解析：上文语境题。由上文可知，作者亲眼见到瑞妮后发现她是一个wonderful lady，于是反问自己“我之前怎么会认为她冷冰冰呢？哦，瑞妮是这么友好(nice)”。calm冷静的；nice友好的，和蔼的；proud骄傲的；clever聪明的。‎ 　A．forgiveness B．eagerness C．friendliness D．skillfulness 解析：下文语境题。破折号后的“她温暖的微笑，她的点头，她的‘我在这里为你服务’……”是对该空格的解释，对比四个选项，friendliness(友好)最符合语境。forgiveness宽恕；eagerness急切；friendliness友好；skillfulness熟练。‎ 　A．explanation B．attitude C．concept D．behavior 解析：上下文语境题。结合上文引号中的内容“我在这里为你服务”及下文的silent signals判断B选项“attitude”符合语境。explanation解释；attitude态度；concept概念；behavior行为。‎ ‎【三】‎ During the war，my husband was stationed at an army camp in a desert in

I sometimes wished to __49__ another ‎ agent.‎ One morning, I had to __50__ an immediate flight home for a family emergency. I ran into Rani’s office __51__. The woman sitting at the desk, __52__ my madness, sympathetically jumped up. She gave me a __53__ smile, nodded while listening patiently, and then printed out the __54__ immediately. “What a wonderful lady！” I thought.‎ Rushing out __55__ I called out over my shoulder, “By the way, what’s your name？” “I’m Rani，” she said. I turned around and saw a __56__ woman with a big smile on her face waving to wish me a safe trip. I was __57__！ Why had I thought she was cold? Rani was, well, so __58__.‎ Sitting back in the car on the way to the airport, I figured it all out. Rani’s __59__ — her warm smile, her nods, her ’I’m here for you’ __60__ — were all silent signals that didn’t travel through wires.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。多年来作者都是通过电话与旅行代理人联系，觉得对方说话的声音冷冰冰的。但是有一次订机票的时候作者亲自来到代理人的办公室，发现自己先前的判断是错误的。‎ ‎41．A.accepted　　　　　 　B．noticed C．heard D．met 解析：选D　语篇性设空题。根据上文的“have formed impressions of you ...on your desk”和第二段中的“only by phone. Rani, my faceless agent whom I’d never met ...”可知，that little device是指电话，由此可判断选D项：他们从来没有见到(meet)过你。‎ ‎42．A.came B．moved C．ran D．developed 解析：选A　语篇性设空题。他们对你的了解全部通过这台装置，有时是来自数百英里之外。come“来”；move“移动”；run“跑”‎ ‎；develop“开发，培养”。‎ ‎43．A.Thus B．Yet C．Then D．Indeed 解析：选B　语篇性设空题。联系上下文，本空用副词yet表示转折含义：可是他们觉得他们能够了解你……‎ ‎44．A.rather B．also C．just D．already 解析：选C　前置性设空题。前文说他们没见过你，他们有时离你数百英里远，这里用just表示“仅仅；只是”，此处指“但是他们觉得只需要听到你的声音就能了解你”。‎ ‎45．A.telephone B．voice C．connection D．impression 解析：选A　语篇性设空题。本题很容易因为前文中的“the sound of your voice”而错选B项“voice”，但是文章开头说到“that little device”，因此这里讲的是“你书桌上的那台小装置”，下文也提到“only by phone”和“travel through wires”，因此本题选A项“电话”。‎ ‎46．A.direct B．useful C．easy D．accurate 解析：选D　后置性设空题。通读下文可知，作者开始时因为瑞妮在电话里的声音很冷淡而生气，但见面后，却发现她是个“wonderful lady”，因此该空选accurate“准确的”，此处是说(电话是)强大的，但不总是准确的。‎ ‎47．A.in person B．by myself C．in public D．on purpose 解析：选A　前置性设空题。“never met in person”与上文的 ‎“faceless”相呼应。in person“亲自”；by oneself“独自”；in public“公开地”；on purpose“故意地”。‎ ‎48．A.annoyed B．interested C．discouraged D．confused 解析：选A　前置性设空题。作者的这个旅行代理人总能给他最低价格(rockbottom prices)，但是她冷冰冰的声音让作者不开心，根据语境可知选A项“annoyed”。annoyed“生气的”；interested“感兴趣的”；discouraged“沮丧的”；confused“困惑不解的”。‎ ‎49．A.promote B．train C．find D．know 解析：选C　前置性设空题。作者对瑞妮冷冰冰的语气很是气恼，有时希望另外找个代理人。promote“提升”；train“训练”；find“找到”；know“知道”。‎ ‎50．A.arrange B．postpone C．confirm D．book 解析：选D　后置性设空题。由下文的“a family emergency”可知，作者家中有急事，需要马上坐飞机回家，故选book“预订”。arrange“安排”；postpone“推迟”；confirm“证实”。‎ ‎51．A.for the first time B．at any time C．from time to time D．in good time 解析：选A　前置性设空题。上文提到，作者之前与瑞妮从来没有见过面，因此这里选for the first time。for the first time“第一次”；at any time“随时”；from time to time“不时，偶尔”；in good time“及早，有足够的时间”。‎ ‎52．A.expecting B．seeing C．testing D．avoiding 解析：选B　后置性设空题。作者跑到瑞妮的办公室，坐在桌旁的瑞妮看到(see)作者着急的样子就跳了起来，满是同情。expect“期待”；test“检测”；avoid“避免”。‎ ‎53．A.shy B．comforting C．familiar D．forced 解析：选B　前置性设空题。根据上文中madness可知作者很着急，因此这里用comforting“令人欣慰的”：她给了我一个令人欣慰的微笑。shy“腼腆的”；familiar“熟悉的”；forced“勉强的”。‎ ‎54．A.bill B．form C．ticket D．list 解析：选C　前置性设空题。上文提到作者家里有急事，需要立即坐飞机回去(an immediate flight home)，因此此处说的是给作者打印飞机票(ticket)。‎ ‎55．A.hopefully B．disappointedly C．gratefully D．regretfully 解析：选C　前置性设空题。作者遇到这么热心的旅行代理人，当然是心存感激(gratefully)。hopefully“有希望地”；disappointedly“失望地”；regretfully“遗憾地”。‎ ‎56．A.careful B．serious C．nervous D．pleasant 解析：选D　后置性设空题。此处应与下文的“a big smile ...waving to wish me a safe trip”相呼应，故用pleasant。careful“仔细的”；serious“严肃的”；nervous“紧张的”；pleasant“令人愉悦的”。‎ ‎57．A.amused B．worried C．helpless D．speechless 解析：选D　语篇性设空题。作者想到自己当初对瑞妮的错误判断，而眼前的瑞妮是那么热心，因此一时竟不知道该说什么(speechless)了。amused“逗乐的”；worried“担心的”；helpless“无助的”。‎ ‎58．A.calm B．nice C．proud D．clever 解析：选B　前置性设空题。由上文可知，作者亲眼见到瑞妮后发现她是一个wonderful lady，于是反问自己“我之前怎么会认为她冷冰冰呢？哦，瑞妮是这么友好(nice)”。‎ ‎59．A.forgiveness B．eagerness C．friendliness D．skillfulness 解析：选C　后置性设空题。破折号后的“她温暖的微笑，她的点头，她的’我在这里为你服务’……”是对该空格的解释，C项最符合语境。forgiveness“宽恕”；eagerness“急切”；friendliness“友好”；skillfulness“熟练”。‎ ‎60．A.explanation B．attitude C．concept D．behavior 解析：选B　语篇性设空题。结合上文引号中的内容“我在这里为你服务”及下文的“silent signals”判断B项符合语境。explanation“解释”；attitude“态度”；concept“概念”；behavior“行为”。‎ ‎【六】‎ A few weeks ago，I was sitting in the window seat of the super-crowded ladies' compartment in a train to Mumbai.I'd been__1__to find a seat because I had got in at the first station.In a few minutes，the seats were all__2__，and many other people had to stand in the ‎ jam-packed aisles(走廊)．‎ One of them was a little girl.It was__3__that she was used to the crowd，since she knew how to__4__her position to the one that was the most__5__．I felt a little uneasy sitting there watching her having to stand.‎ I knew what I should do.___6__，I had to overcome some internal__7__before I could do anything.“Would I look foolish trying to help her？”I wondered.Then I thought，“Maybe this sort of thing is quite__8__，and nobody would think the worse of me if I did not do anything.”My__9__continued，“Am I thinking too much of the whole thing？”__10__，I felt a little shy just reaching out.But I told myself，“Well，__11__you are thinking about it，go the whole way.”So，a minute later，I__12__the child and asked her to sit on my lap for the rest of the__13__side.Though I__14__a bit while offering it to her，the surprised and delighted__15__on the child's face was enough to__16__all my doubts away.And then，I began to think instead，“Why hadn't I offered it to her even earlier?
