本文講述了一位母親給自己的孩子兩美元希望孩子能得到好的運氣，在母親去世后，孩子如何堅強(qiáng)生活并在母親的祝福中得到好運的故事。

【1】句意：媽媽把它給了我，好讓我走運。

even if即使，盡管；because of因為；even though盡管；so that為了；根據(jù)句意理解及后句luck would follow me everywhere.可知，這里表達(dá)的是“為了給我?guī)�來好運”，故選D。

【2】句意：因為我知道她會守護(hù)我一輩子。

watching看；protecting保護(hù)；teaching教；caring在乎；根據(jù)句意理解及前句My mother passed away when I was seven years old.可知，這里說的是“這兩美元就像母親一樣會守護(hù)我一輩子”，英語中表達(dá)“守護(hù)”是watch over，故選A。

【3】句意：第一次面試時，我30歲。

business生意；interview面試；journey旅行；vacation假期；根據(jù)句意理解及后句As I sat in the ___4___, I noticed there were five women ahead of me.和“What makes you feel you are fit for this job?”可知，這里指的是作者在面試，故選B。

【4】句意：當(dāng)我坐在等候室時，我注意到前面有五個女人。

waiting room等候室；dining room飯廳；sitting room客廳；living room起居室；根據(jù)句意理解及前句On my first ___3___, I was thirty years old.可知，這里指的是“在等候室”，故選A。

【5】句意：他們都很年輕，衣著也很講究。

older更老的；cleverer更聰明的；younger更年輕的；earlier更早的；根據(jù)句意理解及前句On my first ___3___, I was thirty years old.及后句which made me more nervous.可知，這里指的是“更年輕的”，故選C。

【6】句意：我真的很需要這份工作，沒有什么我不能做的。

everything一切；something有些事；nothing沒有什么事；anything任何事；根據(jù)句意理解及前句I really need this job以及后句I learn quickly and can be a very capable(有能力的) member of your team.可知，這里說的是“沒有什么不能做”，故選C。

【7】句意：我知道我不如你的其他求職者適合這份工作，但請給我一個機(jī)會。

polite禮貌的；important重要的；suitable合適的；attractive吸引人的；根據(jù)句意理解及后句but please give me a chance可知，這里表達(dá)的是“不如其他求職者適合”，故選C。

【8】句意：那天晚上，我接到馬丁太太的電話。

e-mail郵件；call電話；letter信；telegram電報；根據(jù)句意理解及后句“Gina,” she said, “you were not the most suitable applicant, but you have so much confidence in yourself ___9___ we decided to give you a chance to prove yourself.” “Thank you, Mrs. Martin. You will not regret this decision.” I said excitedly and hung up the phone.可知，這里表達(dá)的是“接到了電話”，故選B。

【9】句意：但你對自己很有信心，所以我們決定給你一個證明自己的機(jī)會。

as當(dāng)……時，猶如；that那個；what什么；which哪一個；根據(jù)句意理解及前句you have so much confidence in yourself中的so可知，這里構(gòu)成一個連詞so … that，引導(dǎo)結(jié)果狀語從句，表達(dá)“如此……以至于”，故選B。

【10】句意：我拿到錢包，拿出了兩美元的鈔票。

pocket口袋；wallet錢包；bag袋子；case箱子；根據(jù)句意理解及后句took out my two-dollar bill.及前文I will keep it close to me always.可知，這二美元是媽媽留給我的，陪伴我一生的，所以作者應(yīng)該是很珍惜的，所以應(yīng)該是放在錢包的，故選B。

完形填空首先應(yīng)該略讀全文，加以適當(dāng)猜測，對全文的大意有所了解，然后再逐句擊破。因為文章的關(guān)聯(lián)性，很多用詞前后關(guān)聯(lián)，單從一句出發(fā)不易找到答案�？赡苓x項中不只一個單詞符合語法，但只有一個符合文章的意思。逐步填空，對照前后，填空時不要一空一空地去填。要對照前后部分。比如第三小題On my first ___3___, I was thirty years old.，根據(jù)前后句比較難判斷出填什么，要根據(jù)后文“What makes you feel you are fit for this job?” Mrs. Martin, the office manager asked me. “I really need this job and there is ___6___ I can’t do. I know I am not as ___7___ as your other applicants(申請人) for the job, but please give me a chance.可以比較容易判斷出是填什么。
