參考答案與解析：

（一）

本文是個幽默故事。講述一個人說另一個人每天早上重復(fù)做同一件事，這樣生活單調(diào)，其實自己也一樣。

1. D 表示回家是come home與前面的去上班go to work相對。

2. C 表示看書看報用read。

3. B 由文末Im sitting in the same seat behind you可知。

4. C 從下文可知是向他召呼問好，所以是say “Hello” to him。

5. D 打了召呼后自然就會開始（began） 談起話來。

6. A 在同一時間、同一個車站、乘同一個火車，這是種單是調(diào)泛味的生活 （life）。而不是這工作，也不是辦公，更不是指小孩。

7. B 指每天早上都是如此，才會說單調(diào)泛味。

8. A 史密斯先生聽到（heard） 這些話。listen指有意識在“聽”，強調(diào)動作，后接賓語時要加to;hear指聽的結(jié)果“聽到”。

9. B say to sb對某人說。雖然后面是一個問句，但表示問某人時ask后不用to，而直接說ask sb。

10. C 因為對史密斯先生如此了解，當然是“總”總在他的后面了。

（二）

1. A 由下文可知他們吵架是在旅途期間。

2. C 表示兩者中的另一個用the other。

3. B 前后是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系：他雖然受了傷但是他什么也沒說。

4. D 他們繼續(xù)往前面走直到遇到綠洲。

5. A 從后文可知，一個朋友救了另一個朋友。

6. B 下文第8空前面有提示。

7. C 上文第3空前有明顯提示。

8. B 上文第3空后有明顯提示。

9. B 上文wrote it down有明顯提示。

10. A 與傷害人的事相對，當然做的是好事。

（三）

本文講述的是一個的年輕軍官因妄自尊大而適得其反的故事。

1. C 不是特指時的“另一個”用another;而the other特指的兩者中的“另一個”。

2. B 表示打電話的目的，引導(dǎo)目的狀語從句用so that（為了、以便）。

3. B 是坐火車去，母親來接當然是在火車站。

4. C 在檢查衣袋后“發(fā)現(xiàn)”沒零錢。find“發(fā)現(xiàn)”;find out通過調(diào)查、詢問等這后“弄明白、搞清楚”。

5. C look around表示“向……的四周看、環(huán)顧四周”

6. C 表示“為……”用介詞for。

7. A 顯然是對那位young officer的回答。

8. D 看是否有零錢當然是將手放在衣服的口袋里。

9. A 根據(jù)后文可知是重新開始，所以用start。因前面的lets，不用ask。

10. D quickly指某個動作在很短的時間內(nèi)就發(fā)生了，即“迅速的”;而fast指動作本身很快。
