Answer 1

家人在工作中遇到困難怎么辦？答案是全家人同舟共濟，齊心協力。男主人因竟爭對手大強而對竟選相關職位信心不足。回到家中，妻子知道后，幫他分析、給他打氣并發動全家挨家挨戶地進行游說拉票，結果，男主人如愿當選。

1. A從drag一詞及obviously tired短語可知，Joe 步履沉重。

2. C Joe很晚才歸，且步履沉重，加上下文所說的信心不足，明顯是垂頭喪氣的樣子,，與之一致的描述只能是"耷拉著"腦袋。

3. A watch表"觀看"、"監視"之意，"觀看"后常接表活動的詞，dash表"沖出"之意，slide表"溜進" 之意。聽見丈夫回家，分離一天的妻子等待的是丈夫的greeting,所以，妻子不可能去"觀看" 他，更不可能去"監視"他。"沖出"和"溜進"與生活實際不符。gooutof表"走出來"之意，符合該場合。

4. C從下文的greet、hug等詞可知，Joe的舉動有點反常，所以，妻子感到奇怪。

5. B   因情緒不佳，Joe坐在那兒一動不動。

6. D   從or的語法功能可知，其前面應該是一個表夫妻間打招呼的親昵動作，該動作只能是kiss。

7. B   根據下面的問話可知，妻子感知到了異常。

8. D   情緒不佳，肯定是有壞消息了。

9. A in one's favour意為"對某人有利"。A項符合語境。

10. C have no hope of doing sth.沒有希望做什么。

11. B從"for he's been holding the position for nearly four years"可知答案。

12. A

13. C in the lead表"領先"之意。

14. D從下文"You' re in your forties"(四十多歲是一個男人最成熟且有創新意識的年齡）及"You are new"的表述可知，Joe具有他的優勢。

15. B

16. B expect表"期待"、"認為某事會發生"之意。

17. A讓大家看看誰是更好的"選擇"。因本文并未提及該崗位就是一個領導崗位，所以不適宜用leader—詞。又因為上文所述"He' s much more experienced",所以所選之人并非是有更好品質的人。 

18. D前面講夫妻四處游說，接下來講他們的孩子也加入到拉票的行列中，這說明他們連孩子也發動了。even表"甚至"之意，此處表遞進關系。

19. B   因到每一戶都是說同樣的話，所以用repeat。

20. D從結局來看，Joe是選上了德克薩斯州的首席法官。根據常理，人們聽到這個結果后應是非常振奮、激動。所以，第一反應應是跳起來，然后激動地流淚。
