Question

　　In a room four men were seated at a large table. After asking me 1 about my place of birth and my Royal Air Force experience, they began to 2 me carefully on telecommunications. Now I was confident (自信的), at ease with a 3 subject. The years of study and work began to 4 , and I knew I was doing well. I was 5 enjoying it. When it was over, one of them said, “Well, now, we are completely 6 with your replies and we feel sure that you are well suited to the 7 we have in mind. But we are faced with a certain 8 . If we 9 you, it means we must 10 you in a position of authority (權(quán)威) 11 a number of our English employees. Many of them have been with us for a long time, and we feel 12 that your appointment (職位) would upset (打亂) good relations within the firm. We could not offer that post and we 13 not ask you to accept one or two other positions of a different 14 . They exist, but they are not 15 for someone like you. 16 , I'm afraid, we will not be able to offer you the job.”

　　I felt suddenly 17 , and I was quite unable to think. Yet somehow I 18 to leave that office, 19 that I had either forgotten or completely ignored (忽視) during the exciting years of the 20 my own black skin.

Answer 1

答案：D;C;A;B;C;A;D;D;B;A;B;C;B;C;B;D;D;B;A;A
解析：

1．briefly為“大概地”，由下文“之后開(kāi)始仔細(xì)詢問(wèn)我”可知． 　　2．question為動(dòng)詞，表“詢問(wèn)”，其他詞無(wú)此意． 　　3．由下文“The years of study and work ”，可知對(duì)此很熟悉． 　　4．payoff“使人得益”．make sure務(wù)必，確保；break out爆發(fā)；bring back帶回． 　　5．由上文可知“我甚至喜歡上了它”． 　　6．be satisfied with sth.對(duì)……表示滿意． 　　7．聯(lián)系全文可知，“我”來(lái)求職，故用post（職位），A，B，C均不合適． 　　8．由下文知，遇到了困難（difficulty）． 　　9．由全文可知，該公司要雇（employ）人． 　　10．place sb．somewhere表“放置、安置某人到某處．” 　　11．over為“超過(guò)，越過(guò)”．by通過(guò)；for為了；with用． 　　12．feel sure that…是固定句型，表“對(duì)……感覺(jué)有把握”． 　　13．would表示說(shuō)話人的意思，A、C、D均無(wú)此意． 　　14．由下文可知，同一公司另幾類職位也不可能提供給我這樣的人（黑人）． 　　15．be suitable for對(duì)……合適，其他明顯不符． 　　16．由上文知，此句是對(duì)上文所說(shuō)的一個(gè)總結(jié)，故為一個(gè)表示結(jié)果的句子，用so． 　　17．聽(tīng)到公司不雇“我”，我很沮喪，感到身子虛弱．certain肯定的，anxious焦急的，free自由的，均不合此處情境． 　　18．manage to do sth.成功地做某事．由下文知，盡管作者感到身子虛弱還是設(shè)法走出了那間辦公室． 　　19．伴隨狀語(yǔ)“明白了”．B項(xiàng)regard問(wèn)候；當(dāng)作，C項(xiàng)recognize認(rèn)出，D項(xiàng)admit承認(rèn)． 　　20．由下文black skin可看出，這是因膚色引起地位不平等，這也是一場(chǎng)沒(méi)有硝煙的“戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)”．
