I work as the reception manager at my hotel.
A booking came in a few weeks ago with a note attached that a guest would be travelling with her deaf father. This note helped us in preparing for their arrival. As they would be here for a number of days, his daughter wanted to make his trip to Ireland as smooth as possible.
Upon seeing this note and knowing I would be the one to check them in, I decided to learn some very basic sign language. I greeted the guest in my usual fashion, asking for the surname on the booking. Once I heard the name,I immediately realized who was standing in front of me.
I had been learning for two weeks how to say: “Welcome to Ireland. My sign language is terrible, but please, if you need anything during your stay, just let me know and we will help you.”
I smiled at the father and daughter in front of me. Turning to the father, I greeted him in ASL (American Sign Language) and began the bit I had learned for him. His daughter broke down, crying and told me I was sweet. But the father just smiled and was so happy. Honestly, seeing his reaction was enough for me. It was absolutely worth the last few weeks of learning basic ASL.
Sadly, I wasn’t working the day they checked out, but they left a gift for me, a small box with some chocolates and a book on ASL. Inside was a note saying: “Thank you very much for what you did. My father has been in amazing spirits from the time you checked us in and insisted we get you a gift before we left. You have no idea how much this meant to my father and me, and we can’t thank you enough. You’ve made his trip very special with one simple gesture.”
I cried for a solid five minutes when I came into work the next day and found this gift in my locker.
1.The daughter left a note when booking the hotel in order to ________.
A.ask for special service for herself

A.the author’s sign language was really terrible
B.her father was unwilling to live in that hotel
C.she appreciated what the author had done for her father
D.the author wouldn’t be working when they checked out
3.Seeing the father’s reaction during checkin, the author probably felt ________.
A.thankful B.satisfied
C.disappointed D.regretful
4.From this passage, we can know that ________.
A.the author made the daughter’s checkout smooth
B.the author was deeply moved by an unexpected gift
C.the daughter cried for five minutes before they left
D.the daughter asked the author to learn sign language

【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。英语课上老师要求同学们分享自己最宝贵的财富,Deng由于觉得自己一无所有而无法入睡。突然他想到一个主意,去向Mr. Petrovski借他的金表。他拿到金表时,发现在表的背后写着“朋友”,他突然觉得自己拥有的最宝贵的财富就是朋友。因此他与同学们分享了这个故事,赢得了大家的掌声。
1.A 考查动词辨析。句意:每个人都有一些特别的东西,一些贵重的东西。此空格处单词与下段首句“Deng had __2__.”中的had呼应。故选A项。
2.B 考查不定代词。句意:Deng什么都没有。这句话与上文中“Everyone __1__ something special, something expensive(每个人都有一些特别的东西,一些贵重的东西).”形成对比,强调Deng一无所有。并且由下句“His family had lost everything (他的家庭失去了一切).”可知,Deng一无所有。故选B项。
3.A 考查形容词辨析。句意:Deng害怕告诉任何人这个事实。由下句“He didn’t want anyone to laugh at him(他不想别人嘲笑他).”可知,他害怕告诉别人这个事实。故选A项。
4.D 考查副词。句意:然而,现在每个人都会知道这件事。根据上下文逻辑关系,Deng一无所有,害怕别人知道这件事,而老师却让他们谈论自己最宝贵的财富,这次无法避免让别人知道Deng的情况。这个结果与他的期望是相反的,所以上下句之间是转折关系。故选D项。
5.C 考查动词辨析。句意:他也许可以装病。但是他知道他的妈妈是不允许他这样做的。由下句“She would make him go to school(她会让他去学校的).”可知,他妈妈是不允许他装病的。故选C项。
6.A 考查动词辨析。句意:他不想让他们失望。A.disappoint使失望,使破灭;B.disturb打扰;C.follow跟随,跟着;D.satisfy使满意,使满足。由上两句“His parents were proud of him. They thought he was happy at school(他的父母以他为傲。他们认为他在学校很开心).”可知,他也不想让父母失望。空格处单词与上文中的proud形成反义呼应。故选A项。
7.A 考查副词。句意:毫无疑问,他会将他的金表借给Deng一天。由下句“He was always pleased when Deng cleared his snow or went to the store for him(每次当Deng清扫他的积雪,或去店里找他的时候,他都很开心).”可推知,毫无疑问,Mr.Petrovski会将他的金表借给Deng。故选A项。
8.B 考查动词辨析。句意:他可以假装这个表是他的。此空格处单词与上文“He pretended his family was rich(他假装他的家庭是富裕的).”中的pretended呼应。故选B项。
9.D 考查动词短语。句意:Deng在表的背面发现一些字。几乎都要磨损掉了。A.given away赠送,捐赠;B.thrown away扔了;C.hidden away深深隐藏;D.worn away(使) 磨损。由下句“He looked closely. There was one word — ’friendship’(他拿近了仔细看。上面写着’朋友’).”可知,表上的字被磨损得不清晰了。故选D项。
10.C 考查名词辨析。句意:轮到Deng了。由本段内容是Deng演讲的内容可知,轮到Deng发言了。“it’s one’s turn”为固定搭配,意为“轮到……了”。故选C项。
11.A 考查动词辨析。句意:因此我请求我的朋友借给了我这个。空格处单词与上文“he would lend it to Deng just for one day(他会借给Deng一天)”中的lend呼应。故选A项。
12.A 考查状语从句的连词。句意:因为我是他的朋友,所以他借给了我。根据句意,他借给我的原因是我是他的朋友。故选A项。
13.C 考查名词辨析。句意:教室里一片寂静。A.noise响声,噪音;B.panic惊恐,恐慌;C.silence寂静,无声;D.warmth温暖,暖和。由下句“Then Deng heard a sound(然后,Deng听到了一个声音).”可知,教室里一片寂静。故选C项。
14.C 考查动词辨析。句意:慢慢地,他的同学们开始鼓掌。A.shake摇;B.wave挥手,招手;C.clap拍;D.raise举起。根据场景,Deng在台上演讲,他的同学肯定是拍手鼓掌。并且由下文中的“You’re right(你很对)”可知,同学们认可他讲的内容,所以可推知同学们鼓掌。故选C项。
15.D 考查名词辨析。句意:一个同学说:“你是对的。友谊比任何事情都重要。并且你有很多朋友。” 空格处单词与上文中手表背后的字“Friendship”呼应。故选D项。
