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. And that was it.” They left the    【小题15】    and I had tears
in my eyes, because they gave me    【小题16】    to believe in myself. They    【小题17】    my spirit from
being down and gave me a    【小题18】    to keep on working hard.
People used to tell me that I couldn’t have a career in   【小题19】   until I had a degree. I’m now
a co-anchor(联合支持人)of a student-produced television     【小题20】     . And the best thing is:
I’m only 17 years old and I am a senior in high school.

解析试题分析: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,镇压;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”。
考点:考查故事类完型填空
点评:本文属于故事类,这类文章一般描述的是某一件具体事情的发生发展或结局,有人物、时间、地点和事件。命题往往从故事的情节、人物或事件的之间的关系、作者的态度及意图、故事前因和后果的推测等方面着手,考查学生对细节的辨认能力以及推理判断能力。阅读这类材料时,同学们一定要根据主要情节掌握文章主旨大意,同时抓住每一个细节,设身处地根据文章内容揣摩作者的态度和意图,根据情节展开想象,即使是碰到深层理解题也可迎刃而解。

Most shops in Britain open at 9:00 am, and close at 5:00 or 5:30 in the evening. Small shops usually close for an hour at lunchtime. On one or two days a week—usually Thursday and/or Friday—some large food shops stay open until about 8:00 pm for late night shopping.
Many shops are closed in the afternoon on one day a week. The day is usually Wednesday or Thursday and it is a different day in different towns.
Nearly all shops are closed on Sundays. Newspaper shops are open in the morning, and sell sweets and cigarettes as well. But not all the things can be sold on Sundays.
Usually it is not difficult for foreign visitors to find where to buy things. Most shops sell the things that you want to buy. One problem is stamps. In Britain you can only buy these at post offices. Many large food shops are self-service. When you go into one of these shops, you take a basket and you put the things you wish to buy into this. You pay for everything just before you leave. If anyone tries to take things from a shop without paying they are almost certain to be caught, because most shops have detectives.
When you are waiting to be served in a shop, it is important not try to be served before people who arrive before you. Many foreign people are surprised at the British way of queuing (排队).
