Question

After buying some newspapers to read on the journey,I made my way to the 1        of?fice to collect my heavy suitcase I had 2        there three days before. There were only a few people 3,and I took out my wallet to find the receipt for my case. The receipt didn't seem to be where I had left it. I 4        the contents,and railway tickets,money,scraps of paper and photos fell out of it;but no matter how 5        I searched,the receipt was nowhere to be found.

  When my turn came,I 6        the situation sor?rowfully to the assistant. The man looked me        7        as if to say that he had 8        this kind of story many times and asked me to 9        the case. I told him that it was an old,brown 10        looking no different from many cases I could see on the shelves. The assistant then gave me 11        and told me to 12        of the chief contents of the case. If they were 13     ,he said,I could take the case away. I tried to 14        all the arti?cles I had 15        packed into the case and wrote them down as they came to me. After I had done this,I went to 16        among the shelves. There were hundreds of cases there.

Answer 1

1. C luggage office意为"行李寄存处"。根据下文中的"collect my heavy suitcase"可知他是去行李寄存处。

2. A leave意为"留下"，这里表示把行李寄存在行李寄存处。

3. D wait意为"等候"。由后面的"When my turn came..." 可知在行李寄存处已经有人排队等候了。

4. D empty意为"倒空"。这里表示把皮包里的东西全部倒出来，寻找寄存物品的收据。

7. B look sb up and down意为"上下打量某人"。

8. C hear意为"听说"，表示听说过这种事情。这里指管理员以前经常遇到类似的情况。

10. A object意为"物体"，这里指手提箱。 

11. D a form意为"一份表格"。

13. C correct意为"正确的"。只有当清单上的物品与手提箱内的物品相吻合时，才能取走手提箱。 

14. B remember意为"回忆起"。要写清单，就必须回忆起手提箱里所放的物品。
