答案　C
7．A. Even if　　 B．So that

13．A. discontent　　 B．loneliness
C．disappointment　　 D．annoyance

答案　C
14．A. patient　　 B．anxious
C．urgent　　 D．mild
解析　依据语境可知，此句是指老人自我解嘲、自我劝慰的一种无奈的表达，同时也暗含着一丝苦涩的期盼，所以老人告诫自己还要“急躁一点儿”。patient意为“急躁的”，符合语境。

15．A. immediately　　 B．cheerfully
C．angrily　　 D．unwillingly

答案　A
19．A. painful　　 B．sad
C．expensive　　 D．lovely
解析　依据语境可知，此处应选lovely，表现的是一种猛烈的讽刺效果，增加了语言的表现力。而painful，sad两词会使语言的色调索然无味，暗淡无光。
答案　D
20．A. moving　　 B．trembling
C．reacting　　 D．freezing
解析　依据语境可知，当老人看到女儿给自己的礼物竟然是一张支票时，她感到既无望又痛心，所以应选trembling，意为“颤抖的，战栗的”，生动地表现了老人当时的心情和神态；moving意为“动人的”，reacting意为“反应的”，freezing意为“冰冻的，寒冷的”，均不符合语境。

Anyway, I never looked inside.

【要点综述】 这是一篇调查报告。目前，随着经济复苏，在英国，对于雇主来说找到有技能的高校生就成了一个问题，尤其是科学、技术、工程和数学方面专业的同学。
1．B　第一段提出话题：据一项最新调查显示，现在的雇主们可怕他们雇不到符合要求的毕业生。submit提交，听从；reveal透露，显示；launch发起(一场运动)；relieve减轻(苦痛、忧虑等)，解除(苦痛、忧虑等)。
2．D　依据句意，差不多有一半的组织和机构告知调查者他们在努力查找具有科学、技术、工程和数学等方面才能的职员。
3．B　由其次段首句的struggling可推断，机构和组织查找这些人才格外不简洁，那么这种人才明显是不够的、短缺的。
4．A　英国工业联盟调查了694个行业和组织。survey是指调查某部分人的行为、意见等(通常以询问方式进行)，符合题意。
5．C　依据上下文的意思可知，雇主们都担忧这种现象的发生，因此选concerned “担忧的，苦恼的，忧虑的”。
6．D　三分之一的被调查者坦言他们可能雇不到技术优良的雇员。
7．D　依据前文可知，这种需求是不断增加的。heighten提高，增高，加强。
8．B　前面其次段已经指出在四个方面技能欠缺，选项中明显只有technical符合文意。
9．D　这里指鼓舞年轻人学习与科学相关的学科，从倒数其次段也可推断。academic高校科研人员；procedure 步骤，程序，thought 思想，想法；subject学科，科目。
10．A　依据文意可知，雇主们认为Alevels中价值最低的学科是心理学和社会学，因此选rate。rate评价，评估；order 命令，整理；discuss 争辩，论述，observe 观看，遵守。
11．B　文章指毁灭在雇主们需要的是具备STEM四方面素养的人才，因此很多雇主们不青睐有某一特殊学科的专业学位的人才。
12．B　整篇文章都在争辩就业和雇用，明显选workforce。mass大量，很多；faculty 全体教员；community 社区，团体。

Jay Wilson was my English teacher at Lake Forest High School. It was him 36 realized my potential in writing, and his 37 made me a writer eventually.
He was kind to me but I had no 38 that he took particular notice of me. There were other 39 kids in the class, and soon I fell back into my usual 40 and thought that I was just a little over average in most things. Near the end of the term, we began to read the play--Macbeth. Believe me, this is not an easy play for high school students to understand, 41 I spent a lot of time reading it. After working till the night before it was due, I wrote a paper about the 42 — the first paper I typed on a typewriter — and turned it 43 the next day.
I got a good 44 on it, and below the grade Mr. Wilson wrote, “Sure 45 you become a writer.” That was it. Those six words were written in his clear and neat handwriting. It was the first time he or anyone had 46 in any way that writing was a 47 option for me. We’d never had any writers in our family line, and we didn’t know any writers personally, even 48 , so writing for a living didn’t seem something 49 to me. But then, just like that, Jay Wilson tapped my hidden 50 and let me see a wider world.
Over the next 10 years, I often 51 about Mr. Wilson’s six words. Whenever I felt discouraged, it was those six words that came back to me and gave me 52 . When a few instructors in college gently and not-so-gently tried to tell me I had no talent, I held Mr. Wilson’s 53 before me to protect myself. I didn’t 54 what anyone else thought. Mr. Wilson, head of the whole English department at Lake Forest High, 55 I could be a writer. So I put my head down and struggled forward. 396
