Question

 That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring    at the theatre. With opening night only a week away, I was    learning my lines. I was having trouble    my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously    giving up both acting and San Francisco.    had become too much for me.

As I walked down    streets under tall buildings, I felt very    and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.

About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned   , half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty.    I saw was a shining streetlight.   , the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run fast. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.

  I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to    I’d heard the noise.    I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.

Just as I was about    the search, I heard the garbage truck pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice    from the inside. “Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an     look in his eyes. “Is this what you’re looking for?” he asked,    a small square shape.

It was nearly 3 a. m. by the time I got into bed. I    get much sleep that night, but I had gotten my wallet back. I    had gotten back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn’t be a bad place    people were willing to help each other.

【解析】

試題分析：在一個(gè)失意的夜晚作者獨(dú)自回家，工作及生活的不順使作者心情沮喪，甚至于考慮要放棄在舊金山這個(gè)大都市的生活。然而隨后發(fā)生的錢包失而復(fù)得的事情卻讓作者感受到了人們之間的溫暖，也感受到了世界的美好，內(nèi)心又充滿了對(duì)城市生活的希望。

1.C名詞辨析。A. 練習(xí)，鍛煉；B. 工作；C. 實(shí)習(xí)，訓(xùn)練D. 培訓(xùn)。從下文With opening night only a week away,可知作者在劇院排練，practice強(qiáng)調(diào)提高技巧的訓(xùn)練，而exercise強(qiáng)調(diào)習(xí)題，所以答案選C。

2.A副詞辨析。A.仍然；B已經(jīng)；C. 然而；D僅僅。從前句內(nèi)容可知離首映只有幾周時(shí)間了，作者臺(tái)詞還沒(méi)記住，所以用still“仍然”表示作者無(wú)奈和沮喪的心情。

3.D動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)辨析。固定短語(yǔ)have trouble doing sth “做某事有困難”，故排除A、D選項(xiàng)。 deal with“處理；對(duì)付”，而handle是及物動(dòng)詞，不和介詞連用，所以答案選D。

4.B介詞辨析。Think of “想起，認(rèn)為”；think about “考慮”； think over“仔細(xì)考慮”；think out“想出”。從語(yǔ)境可知作者在想放棄，所以用think about，故答案選B。

5.A名詞辨析。A. 城市生活；B. 鄉(xiāng)村生活；C學(xué)校生活；D現(xiàn)代生活。由文章末段….had gotten back some enjoyment of city life可以判斷作者打算放棄都市生活，所以A選項(xiàng)正確。

6.D形容詞辨析。A.忙碌的，繁忙的；B. 擁擠的；C吵鬧的；D. 空寂的，空的。根據(jù)下文The street was empty，可以判斷D選項(xiàng)正確。

7.C形容詞辨析。A.驕傲的；B. 自信的；C.小的；D. 激動(dòng)的。從文章敘述可知此時(shí)作者心情沮喪，在空蕩蕩的大街上，自然會(huì)感到自己的渺小，無(wú)助。所以C選項(xiàng)正確。

8.D副詞辨析。A. 快；B.立即；C. 迅速地；D. 迅速地。fast強(qiáng)調(diào)運(yùn)動(dòng)著的物體速度快，而quickly指動(dòng)作的迅速發(fā)生；rapidly強(qiáng)調(diào)短期內(nèi)發(fā)生，由語(yǔ)境可知作者聽到聲音后是迅速轉(zhuǎn)身去看，所以應(yīng)該用quickly，故D選項(xiàng)正確。

9.B代詞辨析。從結(jié)構(gòu)可以判斷此句缺少主語(yǔ)，I saw是省略關(guān)系代詞的定語(yǔ)從句， all 后面不能用which引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句；而that 和which 前沒(méi)有先行詞，由此判斷B選項(xiàng)正確，

10.B副詞辨析。A. 因此； B.仍然；C因此；D隨后，后來(lái)。根據(jù)上下文可知盡管作者回頭沒(méi)看到想象的壞人，可是聲音還是讓他緊張害怕，所以B選項(xiàng)正確。

11.A副詞辨析。A. 突然；B. 逐漸地；C. 絕對(duì)地；D.確切地。從上文可知作者身心疲倦，而看到錢包丟了的時(shí)候，立即跑回大街上去找，所以用suddenly表示狀況的迅速轉(zhuǎn)變，故答案選A。

12.C連詞辨析。根據(jù)語(yǔ)法可知此處是to后面跟賓語(yǔ)從句，從句意思完整，不缺少成分，所以用where做地點(diǎn)狀語(yǔ)。故C為正確選項(xiàng)。

13.B連詞辨析。A.即使；B. 雖然；C. 仿佛；D. 仿佛，好像。從上下文可知此處是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，盡管我找了15分鐘，我的錢包還是沒(méi)有找到，而even if 含有假設(shè)的意味，所以B選項(xiàng)正確。

14.C動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)辨析。give in 讓步；give up放棄。固定短語(yǔ)be about to do “正要做某事”，根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知作者找不到錢包，正打算放棄，所以答案選C。

15.A考查非謂語(yǔ)。從結(jié)構(gòu)可知此處是when引導(dǎo)的狀語(yǔ)從句，從句缺少謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞，而且和句子主語(yǔ)是主動(dòng)關(guān)系，所以A為正確選項(xiàng)。

16.D形容詞辨析。A. 滑稽可笑的；B. 令人驚訝的；C感到驚訝的；D.逗樂(lè)的，覺(jué)得好笑的。從語(yǔ)境可知開車的人看著作者的驚訝，覺(jué)得很好笑，所以D選項(xiàng)正確。

17.B動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)辨析。hold up 舉起； hold on 堅(jiān)持。從語(yǔ)境可知此時(shí)開車人一邊問(wèn)，一邊舉著錢包，而由語(yǔ)法結(jié)構(gòu)判斷只有現(xiàn)在分詞短語(yǔ)可以表示伴隨狀況，再根據(jù)詞意可知B選項(xiàng)正確。

18.B動(dòng)詞辨析。從上文可知作者找到錢包時(shí)已經(jīng)是凌晨三點(diǎn)了，此處指作者沒(méi)有多長(zhǎng)的休息時(shí)間了，故用過(guò)去將來(lái)時(shí)態(tài)，所以B選項(xiàng)正確。

19.C副詞辨析。A. 仍然；B. 已經(jīng)；C也；D. 當(dāng)然。根據(jù)上文可知陌生人把撿到的錢包還給了作者，由此推斷作者內(nèi)心應(yīng)該是感激的、開心的，所以作者不但找回了錢包，而且也找回了城市生活的快樂(lè)，所以答案選C。

20.D短語(yǔ)辨析。A. 遠(yuǎn)至，據(jù)；B.和。。。一樣好C.一。。。就；D. 只要。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知作者認(rèn)為如果人們彼此幫助，城市也不是冷漠無(wú)情的，而是一個(gè)很好的居住地，所以判斷D為正確選項(xiàng)。

考點(diǎn)：考查故事類短文。
