单选题
James sat outside the office waiting for the interview. He felt so
41
that he didn"t know what to do with himself. The person who had gone in
42
him had been there for nearly an hour. And she looked so confident when she went in. Not like James, she felt
43
that she had already got the job. The problem was that James wanted this job so much. It meant
44
to him. He had thought about it such a lot before the day of the interview. He had imagined himself
45
brilliantly at the interview and
46
the job immediately. But now here he was feeling terrible. He couldn"t
47
all those things he had planned to say. At that moment, he almost decided to get up and leave. But no—he had to do this. He had spent so much time considering it that he couldn"t
48
like that. His hands were hot and sticky and his mouth felt dry. At last, the door of the office opened. The woman who had gone in an hour earlier came out looking very
49
with herself. She smiled sympathetically at James. At that moment, James heated her. The managing director then appeared at the office door. "Would you like to come in now, Mr. Davis? I"m sorry to have kept you waiting." He got up, legs
50
and forehead sweating and wondered whether he looked as terrified as he felt.
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】[解析] 通过第一句话可知,James要参加一个面试,由后一句的he didn"t know what to do可判断面试之前他应该是nervous“很紧张”,而healthy“健康的”和careless“粗心的,马虎的”在这里都不合适,confident“有信心的”和后面的语意不一致。
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】[解析] 由had been there for nearly an hour这句话“已经在那儿待了将近一小时了”可以判断是在他之前进去的那个人,所以选择before。
