【解题思路实录】
41. C。所填之词是一个定语从句的谓语动词,该定语从句的主语是 which,为关系代词,它指代的先行词是Hough Bakeries(霍夫面包厂),根据常识,“面包厂”肯定是“做”(made)面包,而不是sold(卖)面包、ordered(订购)面包,reserved(储存)面包。即答案选C。
42. A。注意空格前的its,根据上文可知,这个its指代的是前面的Hough Bakeries(霍夫面包厂)。根据常识可知,面包厂自然是为自己的门店或商店(stores)做蛋糕,而不可能是为自己的“家庭”(families)、“学校”(schools)或“公民”(citizens)做蛋糕。故选A。
43. D。根据前文可知,霍夫面包厂是因复活节要做小兔子蛋糕而需要人帮忙,显然这是“临时的”,即选temporary。其他三项 generous(慷慨的),financial(经济的),technical(技术的)均不符合此处语境。
44. A。做此题要注意两点:一是要注意其后beyond的用法(它在此表示“除……之外”),二是要注意后文作者参与了这次做蛋糕的临时工作。此处的语境是:作者在那个假期除了听最喜欢的唱片外没有别的计划。
45. B。本题比较容易。作者去做临时工,自然是“赚”(earn)工资。其他几个选项明显不符合。
46. A。比较四个选项,很容易排除干扰项。作者利用假期去蛋糕店做临时工,当时作者还是个学生,对新鲜事物比较感兴趣,所以他去做这项工作,自然是想看看工厂做蛋糕的具体流程是怎样的,也就是工作是如何worked的,肯定不是想去看看工厂是如何“关闭或倒闭”(closed),如何“发展起来”(developed)或是如何“幸存下来”( survived)。
47. B。填空句的前面部分说“我父母认为那是一个很棒的想法”,这说明他们很认可我的想法,接下来他们给贝琪的父亲打电话,肯定是表示“同意”(permission)。其他几个选项明显符合此处语境。
48. C。做此题请注意填空句后面的冒号(冒号后面讲的作者在工厂的工作内容),所以此处的所填之词肯定是与“工作”有关的词,比较四个选项,只有 roles 最适合。注意不要以为 role 只表示“角色”,其实它还可表示“职责”“任务”等。
49. D。注意冒号后面的一系列动作:Place cakes on a moving belt. Attach icing (糖霜) ears. Apply icing eyes and nose. _____ bunny from the belt. 将蛋糕放在传送带上,贴上糖霜耳朵,涂上糖霜的眼睛和鼻子,然后从传送带上取下兔子蛋糕。我们可以想象一下流水线上的工作,就很容易选出最佳答案是 D。另外,如果再结合后面后句中的 Slow down a bit and the cakes pile up(稍慢一点,蛋糕就会堆积起来),答案就更明显了。
50. A。做完形填空题通常是根据上文内容进行理解,但本题需根据下文内容来判断。本来后面一句Slow down a bit and the cakes pile up(稍慢一点,蛋糕就会堆积起来)是很好的做题依据,但可惜此句也设了题(Slow down被挖空了),所以我们只好再往后看。在本段末尾我们读到it was all a little more high-pressure(压力有点大),由此可推知,第50题应填 harder。
51. B。做此题可结合第49题来理解。同时要注意联想流水线上的工作,很容易确定最佳答案 slow down。(其他几个选项很容易排除)
52. C。根据前文 This was harder than it sounds(这比听起来要难)很容易推知,这里说的是“工作比我原来想象(expected)的要难”,因为这里是在把所做的工作讲给父母听。
53. B。听了我对自己所做工作的描述,父亲想起了自己的童年,比较中个选项,只有 smiled符合此处的语境。(其他三个很容易排除)
54. D。由于作者的爸爸是the son of a grocer(杂货商的儿子),根据常识可知,作为一个杂货商的儿子,每年夏天放暑假的时候通常会做什么?你很可能想到的是 tasting(尝)和sharing(分享),但如果你注意到本句后面的地点状语in Benardsville, New Jersey(新泽西州贝纳兹维尔),你就会发tasting(尝)和sharing(分享)都显然不合适,而 delivering(派送)才是最合适的,尤其是联系到上文作者自己利用假期打工的经历,此处填 delivering 就显得更为合适。
55. D。最后一句是作者父亲在听了儿子的暑假工作后对儿子的一句“教育”。根据后文的and respect those who did the work(尊重那些做这项工作的人),可知前面宜选appreciate(珍惜)。最后一句的意思是:This was the sort of work that made you appreciate the dollars you earned and respect those who did the work. 这样的工作会让你珍惜你赚来的钱,同时尊重那些做这项工作的人。
