You Are Going Places I work at a local restaurant in town as cashier, seater and waiter. I went to work feeling 小题1: . And to make things worse, I was busy that evening. It’s the same thing over and over again. 小题2: with customers who complain about their food and where they are 小题3: is too big or too small. Little things like that tend to 小题4: a lot of us 小题5: but we manage to deal with it. Three elderly ladies walked in and sat by the windows. It happened to be the very 小题6: near where I keep the dirty 小题7: in the boxes. Trying to keep up with all the dirty tables, customers leaving and coming in and 小题8: running all over the house, it was crazy. 小题9: these elderly women were watching 小题10: I was working to make sure every table was clean and ready for the next customers. When they 小题11: their meals, I took their plates back to the kitchen. They talked to me for a while about school, how I was doing, what 小题12: I was in and what I planned to do in the future. 小题13: they were leaving, they walked past me and one of them said to me in a 小题14: and gentle voice, “You are going places.

题目分析:作者是一位17岁的中学生,利用业余时间打工。一天,在身心疲惫打工的时候,一个人一句话使作者对自己的前途重燃希望。那句话是:You Are Going Places(你前途无量)。
小题1: D考查语境化选词。我去上班的时候心情非常不好。feeling down 是现在分词作伴随状语,意为“闷闷不乐”。倒数第二段的They 17 my spirit from being down也说明了该题答案。
小题2: A考查动词辨析。应付那些抱怨食品、座位等的顾客是大大小小的事情。deal with表示“对付”;help with帮助某人做......;talk with和......交谈;meet with遇到,经受。
小题3:B考查语境话选词。顾客抱怨他们就座的位置。seat是使动词,表示“使坐下”,be seated意为“坐下,就座”;sit是不及物动词,应为where they sat
小题4:D考查动词。诸如此类的小事容易造成我们雇员的烦恼。annoy表示“使生气”。因为作者前面提到了顾客的种种抱怨,因此只能导致雇员的烦恼、生气。attract吸引;avoid避免;adjust调整。
小题5: A考查名词。诸如此类的小事容易造成我们雇员的烦恼。剧中的our和下文的we给答案做了提示。employees表示“受雇者,雇工”。
小题6: C考查名词。他们碰巧坐在我存放过用过的盘子附近的地方。spot表示“地方,地点”。根据后面的where I keep the dirty 7 in the boxes句子,排除B项;不可能把脏盘子放在客人用餐的桌子上,故排除A;kitchen不会与客人用餐的地方处于同一个位置,故排除D。
小题7: A 考查名词。 the dirty dishes指客人用过的盘子。因为作者是在餐厅打工的学生,所以“端盘子”才能与文章主题相符。
小题8: C考查名词。顾客们的进进出出、服务人员的穿梭走动。该空指服务人员在餐馆的来回走动,穿梭服务。顾客们是来这里就餐的,不能来回走,故排除D,A,B两项太片面。
小题9: C考查连词。虽然餐馆处于一片忙乱的状态,但是这三位妇女在专心的看着我。该空前的crazy给该空提出了暗示。
小题10: B注视着我为了确保每张桌子是干净的去迎接下一位顾客,而多么努力的工作。how相当于how hard。
小题11:A考查动词。她们吃完饭的时候。根据下文的I took their plates back to the kitchen排除C、D选项;complete往往用于完成“建筑物”、“工程”、“书籍”等;而finish制作完手中的事情,如:“用完”、“吃完”等。
小题12: B 考查名词。grade表示“年级”。她们询问我上哪个年级。通过上下文,可知作者是个打工的学生,故B项符合文章。Place地方, mark分数,position位置。
小题13: C考查连词。当她们离开的时候,她们走过我身边。as引导时间状语从句时,表示主从句的动作同时发生。由句意排除A、D选项;while引导时间状语从句时,从句中的谓语动词是延续性动词。
小题14: A考查形容词。她们从我身边走过时,有一个人用自信和温和的语调说。由下文的You are going places.(你前途无量)推测说话者语气。因为说话人在鼓励作者,所以只有A项符合语境
小题15: C考查名词。客人说完后就离开了餐馆。由下文知道,they指three elderly ladies,她们来餐馆用餐。
小题16: B考查名词。根据文意可知,别人给予了作者自信的“勇气”,作者才得以重新振作起来。
小题17: B考查动词短语。她们让我振作起来。pick up表示“使恢复精神”。put down放下, * * ;take over接管;point out指出。
小题18: B考查名词。她们给了我继续努力的理由。reason表示某种行为的原因;cause表示某种现象的原因。
小题19: A考查名词。有人曾经告诉我,没有学位,我就不能从事电视台的工作。下文的I'm now a co-anchor(联合主持人)of a student-produced television 20.暗示这里的答案。
小题20: C 考查名词。a student-produced television show表示学生制作的电视节目。show表示“演出,表演节目”。
