Question

【題目】 I worked for a short time as a cashier at a restaurant a few weeks ago. I also helped clear off the tables when it was busy. One night, just before Christmas, I found a ___________on the floor near one of the tables. I thought I should have ___________it to find out who was the owner, but I was very busy at that time. Also I imagined that if the wallet contained anything ___________, the owner should be back.

Sure enough, an hour later a man came up to the counter and asked if anyone had found a wallet. I asked him what the lost wallet looked like and after he described it ___________, I gave it to him. He expressed his true thanks when I handed it to him. He asked me if I had opened it, and when I told him "no", he immediately opened it and ___________that it contained nearly＄800 in cash. He took out a twenty-dollar bill and handed to me. I was amazed at this. "A reward(酬勞）for your ___________, young girl.” He said and then turned away.

Thinking about it later, I began _____________whether I would have been honest if I had known what was in the wallet! I thought that if I had no way to find the owner and no one returned to get it, I might_____________it. But it also came into my mind that I actually saved someone's Christmas plans by finding and returning the wallet. The good feeling it gave me was worth more than anything could buy.

這篇短文講述的是作者在一個餐館做收銀員的時候，撿到了一個錢包，并歸還給失主的故事。作者為自己的誠實給她帶來的美好感覺感到非常值得。

【1】句意：一天晚上，就在圣誕節(jié)之前，我在一個桌子附近的地上發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個錢包。

考查名詞辨析及語境。bag書包；wallet錢包；ticket票；book書。根據(jù)下文Sure enough, an hour later a man came up to the counter and asked if anyone had found a wallet.可知，作者撿到了一個錢包。故選B。

【2】句意：我想我應該檢查一下看看誰是主人，但是我當時很忙。

考查動詞辨析及語境。picked撿起，采摘；seen看見；checked檢查；searched搜查，搜尋。根據(jù)空后 “to find out who was the owner”可知，要想知道錢包的主人是誰，作者應該檢查一下錢包里有什么東西。故選C。

【3】句意：我還設想，如果錢包里有什么值錢的東西，主人應該會回來。

考查形容詞辨析及語境。valuable有價值的；cheap便宜的；bright明亮的；necessary有必要的。根據(jù)句中 “the owner should be back.”主人應該回來，這說明錢包里有值錢的東西。故選A。

【4】句意：我問他丟失的錢包是什么樣子的，他把它描述得清清楚楚。

考查副詞辨析及語境。carefully仔細地，認真地；quickly快速地；proudly驕傲地；exactly準確地，精確地，恰好地。根據(jù)下句話 “I gave it to him.”我把錢包給了他，這說明他描述得非常準確。故選D。

【5】句意：當我告訴他“沒有”的時候，他立刻打開了錢包，里面有近800美元的現(xiàn)金。

考查動詞辨析及語境。expected期望，期待，預料；showed展示；呈現(xiàn)；found發(fā)現(xiàn)；counted數(shù)數(shù)。根據(jù)空前 “he opened the wallet”可知，打開錢包呈現(xiàn)出里面的東西，故選B。

【6】句意：他說：“這是對你誠實的一個酬勞，小女孩。”，然后就轉(zhuǎn)身離開了。

考查名詞辨析及語境。courage勇氣；honesty誠實；trust信任；carefulness細心。根據(jù)文意可知，“我”撿到了一個錢包，把它還給了主人，這說明了“我”的誠實。下文 “Thinking about it later, I began ______7______whether I would have been honest if I had known what was in the wallet!”這句話也能印證答案。故選B。

【7】句意：后來我想了想，開始懷疑如果我知道錢包里裝的是什么，我會不會誠實。

考查動詞辨析及語境。realizing意識到；understanding理解；wondering想知道；discovering發(fā)現(xiàn)。根據(jù)句意可知，作者后來想知道如果自己知道了錢包里有那么多錢，自己還會不會那么誠實，wonder意思符合語境，故選C。

【8】句意：我想，如果我找不到失主，也沒有人回來取，我可能會留著它。

考查動詞辨析及語境。break打破，違背；change改變；return歸還；keep保持。根據(jù)句意 “if I had no way to find the owner and no one returned to get it,”可知，在這種情況下，也許作者會自己保留著那個錢包。故選D。

這是一篇記敘文，短文講述了作者在一個餐館工作時，撿到了一個錢包，并把它歸還給失主的故事。文章敘述清晰，線索明確，內(nèi)容貼近學生們的日常生活，比較容易理解。題型是完形填空，考查學生們在具體語境中運用語言的能力，綜合性較強。做題時，應先通讀短文，了解文章大意；然后根據(jù)上下文語境作答，先易后難，注意空前后的固定搭配，并仔細辨析選項中單詞的意思和用法；最后將答案代入原文，再讀一遍，檢查答案是否正確。例如第1小題，下文有明顯的語境提示，文章都是圍繞作者撿到錢包，并歸還失主的故事展開的。故答案為B。再如第4小題，考查副詞辨析及語境。carefully仔細地，認真地；quickly快速地；proudly驕傲地；exactly準確地，精確地，恰好地。根據(jù)下句話 “I gave it to him.”我把錢包給了他，這說明他描述得非常準確。故選D。
