Not too long ago, an incident that
happened at Walt Disney touched me greatly. A guest checking out of our
Polynesian Village resort(度假胜地) at Walt Disney was asked how she{{U}} (21)
{{/U}}her visit. She told the front-desk clerk she had had a (n){{U}}
(22) {{/U}}vacation, but was heartbroken about{{U}} (23)
{{/U}}several rolls of Kodak color film she had not yet developed. At that
moment she was particularly{{U}} (24) {{/U}}over the loss of the
pictures she had shot at our Polynesian Luau, as this was a memory she
especially treasured. Now, please understand that we have no
written service rules{{U}} (25) {{/U}}lost photos in the park.{{U}}
(26) {{/U}},the clerk at the front desk{{U}} (27)
{{/U}}Disney's idea of caring for our guests. She asked the woman to leave
her a couple rolls of{{U}} (28) {{/U}}film, promising she would take
care of the rest of our show at Polynesian Luau. Two weeks later the guest
received a{{U}} (29) {{/U}}at her home. In it were photos of all the
actors of our show,{{U}} (30) {{/U}}signed by each performer. There were
also{{U}} (31) {{/U}}of the public procession (游行队伍)and fireworks in the
park, taken by the front-desk clerk in her own{{U}} (32) {{/U}}after
work. I happened to know this{{U}} (33) {{/U}}because this guest wrote
us a letter. She said that never in her life had she received such good service
from any business. Excellent{{U}} (34) {{/U}}does not
come from policy (政策) handbooks. It comes from people who{{U}} (35)
{{/U}}—and from a culture that encourages and models that
attitude.
【答案解析】[解题指要] 这个空后面是several rolls of Kodak color film,意思是“几卷柯达彩色胶卷”。这个客人非常伤心的是(was heartbroken about)丢失了这几卷胶卷,C选项losing最为适当。A选项taking的意思是“携带”,B选项dropping的意思是“使落下”,D选项breaking的意思是“使折断”,都不符合文意。
【答案解析】[解题指要] 应选A选项covering。这句话也可以说成rules which cover lost photos。Cover这个词有许多意思,其中一个意思是“适用于”。用上面的句子转换方式代人B选项finding、C选项making和D选项keeping,就会发现它们在此都不适用。在此也提醒考生在日常的学习中要注意一词多义的情形。
【答案解析】[解题指要] 从后半句里taken一词,可以断定答案应为B选项pictures。这个词和上一句里的photos同义,都表示“照片”之意。英语里“拍照片”就是take a photo或者take a picture。A选项。rules“规则”,C选项handbooks“手册”和D选项performances“表演”在此都不适用。
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】[解题指要] 本题应选c选项time,in her own time after work的意思是“在她工作之余的空闲时间”。A选项case的意思是“实例,情况”,B选项work的意思是“工作”,D选项position的意思是“位置、立场”,都与本句意思不相关。
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】[解题指要] I happen to know this story中的story意思是“事情的经过”,也就是选项A。作者知道这件事是因为那位游客给迪斯尼乐园的管理者写了表扬信。
