Many people who were going to work were     2     to go home. Some battled to     3     a taxi or to get on a bus. Still others faced the     4     bravely, walking miles to get to work.‎ ‎    I     5     to be one of people on the way to work that morning.

Unfortunately, there were so many people waiting to     9     the subway that I could not even get down the stairs to the     10    . So I took the train going in the opposite direction, and then switched back to the downtown train. Finally, after what seemed like forever, the train     11     my stop. Then I had to walk several blocks in the increasingly heavy rain.

In the following account, she recalls the job that challenged her     1     and skill but left her flying high.‎ ‎    “When the Atlanta Airport was under     2     in 1979, we were a new company struggling to make it. National Car Rental wanted to have 2, 500 square meters of dirt paved     3     the cars ‎ could be on site     4     the airport opened, and the official opening was only ten days away!    5     other local paving company wanted to do the job,    6     it couldn’t be done in such a short time.‎ ‎    “Because we were new and really needed the work, we were     7     to try harder.

Helen was on a flight from Los Angeles to Phoenix. Although the flight was short, it provided     1     time for her to get to know the Morrisons, an Arizona couple seated in her row. The plane was only in the air for a couple of minutes     2     the wife, Marcie, fell asleep, leaving her husband Daniel and my sister sitting next to each other in silence. Maybe it was a feeling of     3     that sparked it, or maybe it was the need to     4     . Whatever the case, within minutes Daniel began to     5     the couple’s story.‎ He told my sister how he and Marcie had flown to Los Angeles that morning to meet with a doctor of     6     medicine about treating Marcie, only 35, for her stage 4 breast cancer.     7     the diagnosis of the doctors in Phoenix had given Marcie only a few months to live, the couple had decided to     8     other forms of treatment. Although they both felt     9     about what had been described to them that day, they were also dismayed to learn that the alternative treatment     0     a $34,000 price tag and would not be covered by     11     . Additionally, they’d have to pay for a place to     12     while Marcie underwent treatment.‎ When it came time to deplane, Daniel     13     Marcie, and since she was unable to walk, requested a wheelchair. It was while my sister was waiting with them for the chair that she made the     14     that they could stay with her during their trips to Los Angeles.‎ Helen received a call from Daniel the following week saying that he and Marcie had     15     it over and they would like to take her up on her     16     offer. They arrived the following Wednesday and left on Sunday. And this     17     continued for several months. What     18     —what plan—had brought the three of them together and then compelled her to ‎ invite them into her home? Whatever the case, she knew that she had done exactly as she was supposed to.‎ I guess it would be a(n)     19     to say that my family’s feelings of concern changed to feelings of     20     !

The question is:Is economic globalization       1        for all?       According to the World Bank, one of its chief supporters, economic globalization has helped reduce       2       in a large number of developing countries. It quotes one study that shows increased ‎ wealth       3       to improved education and longer life in twenty-four developing countries as a result of integration (融合) of local economies into the world economy. Home to some three billion people, these twenty-four countries have seen incomes        4       at an average rate of five percent—compared to two percent in developed countries.       Those who        5        globalization claim that economies in developing countries will benefit from new opportunities for small and home-based businesses.       6       , small farmers in Brazil who produce nuts that would originally have sold only in       7        open-air markets can now promote their goods worldwide by the Internet.        Critics take a different view, believing that economic globalization is actually         8        the gap between the rich and poor. A study carried out by the U.N.-sponsored World Commission on the Social Dimension of Globalization shows that only a few developing countries have actually        9          from integration into the world economy and that the poor, the uneducated, unskilled workers, and native peoples have been left behind.        10        , they maintain that globalization may eventually threaten emerging businesses. For example, Indian craftsmen who currently seem to benefit from globalization because they are able to         11        their products may soon face fierce competition that could put them out of       12         . When large-scale manufacturers start to produce the same goods, or when superstores like Wal-Mart move in, these small businesses will not be able to      13         and will be crowded out.        One thing is certain about globalization—there is no        14        . Advances in technology combined with more open policies have already created an interconnected world. The        15        now is finding a way to create a kind of globalization that works for the benefit of all. 1.A.possible    B.smooth    C.good    D.easy 2.A.crime    B.poverty    C.conflict    D.population 3.A.contributing    B.responding    C.turning    D.owing 4.A.remain    B.drop    C.shift    D.increase 5.A.doubt    B.define    C.advocate    D.ignore 6.A.In addition    B.For instance    C.In other words    D.All in all 7.A.mature    B.new    C.local    D.foreign 8.A.finding    B.exploring    C.bridging    D.widening 9.A.suffered    B.profited    C.learned    D.withdrawn 10.A.Furthermore    B.Therefore    C.However    D.Otherwise 11.A.consume    B.deliver    C.export    D.advertise 12.A.trouble    B.business    C.power    D.mind 13.A.keep up    B.come in    C.go around    D.help ‎ out 14.A.taking off    B.getting along    C.holding out    D.turning back 15.A.agreement    B.prediction    C.outcome    D.challenge ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 答案以及解析 ‎1答案及解析：‎ 答案：1.B; 2.A; 3.C; 4.C; 5.D; 6.D; 7.B; 8.A; 9.D; 10.D; 11.C; 12.A; 13.B; 14.B; 15.D; 16.A; 17.C; 18.B; 19.A; 20.D 解析：1.从作者给出的信息看,暴风雨造成的是洪水灾害, 故B项正确。break中断,休息;sink下沉;crash碰撞,明显不合题意。 2.根据文章细节。暴风雨发生时,正是上午上班高峰期,突遇暴雨,很多人“被迫(be forced to...)”回家,所以选A项。 3.此处是对暴风雨中的人们细节描写。根据上下文, 突遇暴风雨,一些人被迫回家(说明难以上班),也有一些人叫出租车或者公共汽车去上班。故用call a taxi。 4.作者用still(甚至、更)表示递进。句意:其他人其至勇敢地面对这场“暴风雨”,步行数英里去上班。dimate气候;scenery 风景;Burden负担,这三个选项明显不合句意,所以选C项。 5.此处是承上启下,而从该句开始“我”的故事:“暴风雨发生时我碰巧在去上班的路上,"happen to do sth.碰巧做某事;used to do sth.过去常常做某事;promised to do sth.答应做某事;deserved to do sth.值得做某事。D项为最佳答案。 6.从前面给出的信息看。暴雨成灾,交通不便,I went from subway line to subway line only to find that most service had stopped的意思是“我……结果发现大多数地铁已经停止服务了”。practice实践;routine线路;process过程,明显不合此处句意。 7.make one’s way“克服困难做某事”,through crowds of people“通过拥挤的人群所以本题选择B项。 8.从上文看,大多数地铁已经停运了。“...I finally found a subway line that was operating.”意为:我最后终于发现了一辆地铁还在运行。动词opiate在此处的意思是“(车)运行、操作”,因此选A项。 9.board the ‎ subway的意思是“登上地铁”,所以选D项。check核对,检査;carry携带;find发现,不符合文章内容。 10.从前面分析看等车的人太多,我甚至连到站台的机会也没有。这是细节推理,想坐地铁,应到“站台”,而不是“大街"(A项);“地面”(B项);“楼层"(C项),因此选D项。 11.本题考査动词词义辨析。从上文看,费尽周折,火车(最后终于)到站,应该用reach the stop.所以选C:项。 12.从前面信息句“Then I had to walk several blocks in the increasingly heavy rain. ”以及文章情节推断,当我终于到办公室时,我的衣服全湿透了,所以选A项。 13.结合当时的“狼狈”情形,以及前面wet,exhausted 可知心理上有点“失望(discouraged)”。ashamed感到羞耻的; surprised吃惊的;puzzled困惑的,不解的,明显不合题意。 14.这里考査be about to do sth. when...“正要做某事的时候,这时突然……”,因此选B项。 15.文章意为“我非常感谢你们所有的人费尽周折,而(最后)终于前来(公司)上班”,所以选D项。eventually “最后, 终于”。 16.devotion to their jobs 忠于职守。donation 捐赠;
