【解析】

試題分析：本文講述作者獨自一人去奧克蘭求學，需要一份工作充實自己的生活經歷，并在一位陌生人的幫助下最終獲得了一份工作。作者以此向我們展示一個生活真諦：只要努力，世界會給每個人以回報。

1.考查名詞：doubt”懷疑”;concern”擔心,掛念,關懷”;instruction”命令,指示,教誨,教導”;由上文的”my mother was worried about a lack of jobs and cultural differences”可知,這是媽媽對我的關心。故此處要用concerns。選B。

2.考查連詞短語：even if”即使”;every time”每次”;now that”既然,由于”;soon after”不久以后”。上文說到我不理睬媽媽的擔心,但是到了奧克蘭之后不久,我就意識到了得到一份工作對我生活開支的重要性。故D項符合文意?。

3.考查介詞：對于我的生活經歷而言,我認識到得到一份工作對我生活開支的重要性。for”對于;至于”,符合題意。故選C項。

4.on one’s own”獨自地,獨立地”;on one’s way”在路上”;by any chance”萬一”;by the day”按天計算;按日”。從下文看,作者出去找工作都是獨自一人完成的,故on my own適合題意。選A。

5.考查形容詞：由but可知,but后面的內容應該和前面的I spent several weeks going door?to?door for a job形成轉折,”我沒找到工作”。選項中只有little表示否定意義。故選D項。

6.考查連接詞：我進這所大樓,目的是想找到一份工作,所以去問是否能有工作機會。why”為什么”;wherever”無論在哪里”;whether”是否”;whenever”無論何時”。故只有C項符合題意。

7.考查名詞：direction”方向,指導,趨勢,用法說明”;attitude”態度,意見,看法”;language”語言”;manner”方式,方法,態度,舉止,禮貌,規矩,習慣”;in that manner”以那種方式”。根據上文的I spent several weeks going door?to?door for a job可知,我找工作的方法是挨家挨戶地去問,所以這座大樓里的人建議我不要再用這種方式找工作了。故D項符合題意。

8.考查動詞：answer”回答”;work”工作”;leave”離開”;refuse”拒絕”。根據上文描述可知,我在此處并沒有找到工作,所以正打算離開。Be about to leave”正要離開”,符合文意。選C。

9.考查詞組：for ever”永遠”;at any time”在任何時候”;as usual “像往常一樣”;for a while”一會兒”。由下文的nearly ten minutes later可知,這位一直在旁邊聽的人是想讓我在外面等一會。故D項符合題意。

10.考查動詞：return”回來”;hesitate”猶豫”;pass”經過,通過”;regret”后悔”。由下文中”He asked me....”可知這個人回來了。故A項符合題意。

11.考查形容詞：silent”沉默的,寂靜的”;busy”忙碌的”;positive”積極的”;comfortable”舒適的,舒服的”。由上下文可知,他詢問了我的計劃,并且鼓勵我要繼續保持積極的態度,然后推薦我去羅亞爾奧克找一份工作。故C項符合題意。

12.考查動詞短語：pick out”挑選出”;search for”尋找,搜索”;take on”呈現,接納,雇用”;give up”放棄”。從下文可以看出,我在羅亞爾奧克找到了一份工作。故此處只有search for才符合文意。選B。

13.考查形容詞：dull”無趣的,單調的”;good”好的,令人滿意的”;guilty”自知有過錯的,內疚的”;general”一般的,普遍的,大體的,籠統的”。由常識可知,他幫了我,我自然是對他有好感。故B項符合題意。

14.考查詞組：make use of”利用”;take care of”照顧”;run out of”用完,用光”;become tired of”厭煩”。由下文的Seeing this,the man at his business partner’s office to make me fifteen copies可知,我的簡歷表用完了。故只有C項符合題意。

15.考查動詞搭配：stop at”逗留在,住宿,對……有所躊躇”;knock at”敲(門、窗等)”;glance at”看一下,瀏覽”;appear at”到達,出現在”。由常識可知,此處是指他在生意合作伙伴的辦公室里,給我復印簡歷。故A項符合題意。

16.考查形容詞：上文提到我的簡歷用完了,所以此處又復印了15份。表示”再,又”,英語中可以用”基數詞+more+復數名詞”或者”another+基數詞+復數名詞”來表示。故只有B項符合題意。

17.考查名詞：pressure”壓力”;agreement”協議,同意”;impression”印象,影響”;suggestion”建議”。由下文的dressing and speaking可知,此處指他就dressing and speaking而給我提的建議。故選D項。

18.考查形容詞：lonely”孤獨的,寂寞的”;funny”滑稽的”;disappointed”失望的”;satisfied”感到滿意的”。由上文的內容可知,簡歷雖然用完了,但是這個人又幫我找地方復印了,還就我的dressing and speaking給我提出建議。故我應該是感到滿意。故選D項。 

19.考查名詞：call”電話”;tip”小費;建議”;present”禮物”;report”報告”。由常識可知,此處是指我接到了要我去羅亞爾奧克一家商店工作的電話。故選A項。

20.考查詞組：turn off”關掉,斷開;拐彎”;go over “復習;仔細檢查”;give back”歸還;送回;恢復;后退”;look up”仰望;查閱”。由本文所描述的故事可知,我的體會就是世界似乎總是在你最需要它的時候回報你。故選C項。
