【解析】廁所在英語(yǔ)中有多種不同的英語(yǔ)單詞來(lái)表達(dá)，比如WC, toilet, lavatory, bathroom, restroom, john等等。不同的國(guó)家使用廁所的名稱也不一樣。而“toilet”本身這個(gè)單詞來(lái)自法語(yǔ)“toilette”。

【1】句意：英語(yǔ)中對(duì)于我們每天都要去的那個(gè)小房間有很多詞匯。A. words單詞；B. names名字；C. places地方；D. titles標(biāo)題。通過(guò)上文所列舉的英語(yǔ)單詞以及下文中的句子“Here are some of the words that……”可知，答案為A。

【2】句意：下面是對(duì)所使用的一些單詞含義的解釋。此句是定語(yǔ)從句，that指代先行詞words，用作定語(yǔ)從句的主語(yǔ)，與動(dòng)詞use之間是被動(dòng)的關(guān)系，要用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)態(tài)的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)，故答案為D。

【3】句意：在別人家里，如果你問(wèn)洗手間在哪里，你就能找到你要去的地方。A. some一些；B. anyone 任何人；C. someone’s某人的；D. somebody某人。在名詞的前面要用名詞所有格表示所屬關(guān)系，結(jié)合句意，故答案為C。

【4】句意：在別人家里，如果你問(wèn)洗手間在哪里，你就能找到你要去的地方。A. how怎么樣；B. what什么；C. where在哪兒；D. when何時(shí)。要去的地方表示地點(diǎn)，故答案為C。

【5】句意：如果你在購(gòu)物中心，你應(yīng)該詢問(wèn)洗手間(restroom)的方向。A. would將會(huì)；B. must 必須；C. should應(yīng)該；D. can能，可以。結(jié)合語(yǔ)境理解，此處表示建議，故答案為C。

【6】句意：美國(guó)人也使用john這個(gè)詞，這個(gè)詞是十九世紀(jì)英國(guó)發(fā)明抽水馬桶后命名的。A. in在……里；B. for為了；C. after在……之后；D. at在。此處是介紹john這個(gè)詞出現(xiàn)的時(shí)間，故答案為C。

【7】句意：但是WC表示沖水廁所，lavatory也常當(dāng)作“廁所”來(lái)使用。A. stands站立，表示；B. writes寫；C. says 說(shuō)；D. asks詢問(wèn)。stand for代表，表示。故答案為A。

【8】句意：人們有時(shí)說(shuō)到女廁所和男廁所。A. sometime某個(gè)時(shí)間；B. never從不；C. sometimes有時(shí)；D. some times好幾次。結(jié)合下文中的句子“__10_ Men and Women are more common now.”可知，此處是表示頻率，“有時(shí)候”，故答案為C。

【9】句意：你可以在公共廁所的上方看到“女士們”和“先生們”的字樣。A. entries入口；B. exits出口；C. roofs 屋頂；D. walls墻。在廁所的入口處，要標(biāo)注上男女廁所，故答案為A。

【10】句意：但是現(xiàn)在“男人”和“女人”更普遍了。A. but但是；B. and 而且；C. or或者；D. as當(dāng)作，上……時(shí)候。Men and Women替換原來(lái)的Ladies and Gentlemen ，結(jié)合語(yǔ)境理解可知，前后句是表示轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，故答案為A。

【11】句意：在英國(guó)，一個(gè)比較古老，現(xiàn)在很少使用的詞是“privy”，它是“private”縮寫。 A. pretty漂亮的；B. private私有的；C. plenty大量的；D. practice練習(xí)�！�privy”與“private”更接近，故答案為B。

【12】句意：澳大利亞人稱作廁所為loo，這在英國(guó)很受歡迎。此處考查非限制性定語(yǔ)從句，常用which來(lái)引導(dǎo)，故答案為D。

【13】句意：“toilet”本身是從哪里來(lái)的？A. is是；B. comes來(lái)，C. come 來(lái)；D. change改變。be from=come from，助動(dòng)詞does后跟動(dòng)詞原形，故答案為C。

【14】句意：它源于法語(yǔ)“toilette” ——洗刷的意思。A. me我；B. yourself你自己；C. us我們； D. you你。wash后跟反身代詞，答案為B。

【15】句意：來(lái)自英語(yǔ)國(guó)家的人也使用一些幽默的語(yǔ)言。A. developing發(fā)展中的；B. developed發(fā)達(dá)的；C. poor貧窮的；D. English-speaking講英語(yǔ)的。結(jié)合句意可知，答案為D。

【題目】During my stay at an orphanage (孤兒院) at the age of 9, a gentleman came and taught us how to do wooden art pieces.

I remember my first project—a small table. I was so proud of it that I regarded it as a wonder. It was beautiful and it took me six weeks to finish it. I could hardly wait to give it to Mother Winters as a gift. She was always strict with us.

As the tables were not dry from the clear coating, the man told us to wait a few days before taking them to our dormitories(寢室). But I was just so happy that I couldn’t wait to carry my table back, smiling from ear to ear.

When I reached the dormitory, I placed the little table beside my bed. When Mother Winters entered, I was admiring it.

“Were you supposed to bring this home?” she asked.

“No, ma’am,” I replied with my head down.

She ordered me to throw the table out and so I did. After she left, I immediately opened the door to get it back. It was dirty all over. I brushed it and cried, but the dirt would not come off. I hid the table in my closet. However, a year later during a cleaning-up, it was discovered. Painfully, I had to give the table to Mother Winters, thinking that she would throw it away.

Thirty years later at a party, I learned that Mother Winters was living nearby, so I drove up to see her. We talked cheerfully for long. As I was about to leave, she asked me to come down to her basement(地下室) to get something important. I followed her into a dark corner. She picked something up. As she turned around, I could see that she was holding a little table.

Mother Winters kept the little table that I had given up for lost so long ago.

Today, I look at that table with bittersweet memories but full of thanks to Mother Winters, who kept the table for a young orphan who valued it so much.

【1】It was ________ for the writer when she finished the wooden small table.

A. exciting B. worrying C. thankful D. painful

【2】Why did Mother Winters order the writer to throw the table out?

A. Because the table was dirty.

B. Because the writer broke the rule.

C. Because she didn’t like the table.

D. Because she didn’t like the writer.

【3】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. It took the writer seven weeks to finish the small table.

B. The writer cried before she got her small table back.

C. The writer hid the table in her closet for many years.

D. Mother Winters kept the small table for a long time.

【4】The writer is trying to tell us Mother Winters was ________ according to the passage.

A. poor and rude B. kind and poor

C. kind but strict D. funny but strict
