只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。4.D从语境看，作者说这是她多年来梦想的职位，因此她不是因为准备了很长时间而得到这个位置，而是经过多年刻苦工作，才终于有了这个机会。5.Cdropsb.off表示“(用车)顺路送(某人到某地)，顺便把(某物/人)送至(某处)”，符合语境。6.A从语境可知，作者决定还是要去参加这次面试。7.C上文讲到此时的我照镜子都几乎认不出自己，妈妈心疼我，温柔地说：“可是你看起来那么奇怪。”解题时要注意句中的省略号。文章没有提到作者身体虚弱(weak)；也没有提到作者固执（stubborn）或生气（angry）。8.B妈妈说的没错，这一点我心里明白。9.C假如我不去参加面试，我会总是想我是否本来可以得到这个我梦寐以求的工作呢？10.B结合上下文和所提供的选项可知，妈妈很不情愿地把我送到我要去的地方。11.C注意情景的跳跃与转换。“你好，你是Jenkins小姐吗？”显然这里是面试的考官在和我打招呼，因此选C项。12.A我刚从医院赶过来，医生说我患了面部神经麻痹，可能这种情况会持续几天才会恢复。结合语境判断选A项。13.B处于这样的状态，还能来参加面试，可见作者是真有毅力。14.C这句话是他对我抱病参加面试的评价。从四个动词选项看，本题应该选C项。comment评论，评价。15.D从下文考官的话可知他是在看我的申请表。16.A从下文作者的回答(是的)判断选A项，考官问道：你这份申请表上提供的信息都是准确的吧？normal正常的；incredible难以置信的；contradictory相矛盾的，均不符合语境。17.C结合语境，此处句意：不过在申请表中我忘了说，我的打字速度是每分钟75个字。18.B既然背景给人的印象深刻，而且有相关的工作经历，那么作者“当然”符合条件了。19.D你什么时候可以来报到上班呢？这里用available表示“便利的”。convenient的主语不能是人。20.B显然，作者的勇气与毅力也就是她坚毅的性格给考官留下了深刻的印象。Ⅲ.短文改错DearTony,Howarethingsgoingonwithyou?Youcannotimaginehowapleasantsurpriseitistowhathaveheardfromyou!InyouremailyouaskedabouthowIspentmywintervacation.Well,mywintervacationlastedabouthalfamonth.Duringthefirstfewdays,Iwentacrossmylessonsoverandfinishedtheassignmentsmyteachershassetme.ButthencametheSpringFestivalhadAndwhich,∧youmayalreadyknow,isoneofthemostimportanttraditionalfestivalsforusChinese.asDuringthefestival,Ihadagreatfunstayingwithmyfamily,helpingthemwiththeroutinehouseworkaswellasvisitfriendsandrelatives.Meanwhile,I,togetherwithseveralofmy7
