4．abrupt 5.convenience 6.practical
7．caution 8.distinguish 9.current
10．merciful
Ⅱ.在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式
1．on 句意：“我是史蒂夫。你是史密斯先生吗？”“请等一下。他来了。”hang
on“等一等，不要挂断”，是打电话交际用语。
2．from 句意：“是什么使她比别的同学更优秀？”“她的出色的英语口语。”distinguish...from...“显示……的差别；使……有所不同”。
3．about 句意：“他们着手寻找保护蛇免遭其他动物伤害的办法。”“他们会有所作为。”set
about“开始，着手”，后接动名词。
4．abruptly 句意：这男孩突然离家，什么话也没有留下，这使他的父母很着急。abruptly“突然地，唐突的”。
5．arrested 句意：上周被捕的罪犯暗示他的六个同伴带着三支枪和一大笔钱逃往东北山区。arrested是过去分词作定语修饰criminal，相当于一个被动语态的定语从句who
was
arrested。
6．seize 句意：“抓住机会。这将是你事业上取得成功的第一步。”“谢谢。”祈使句＋and
sb./sth.
will
do
句型。
7．being
bothered 句意：他无法忍受商店的噪音和街道上的灯光，因此搬家了。bear“忍受，忍耐”，bear
doing...“耐得住……”。
8．dived 句意：刘先生一看到那女孩落入河里，他就潜入水里把她救起。dive
into“跳水，潜水，俯冲”，该处用一般过去时。
9．associated 句意：对于美国的孩子来说，圣诞节与兴奋、幸福和礼物连在一起。associate“联想，联系”，be
associated
with“与……有联系”。
10．through 句意：“约翰。请你给蒂姆打个电话请他参加宴会好吗？”“很抱歉，这个电话坏了，打不通。”get
through“设法联系上(尤指打通电话)”。
11．dialed 句意：我再次翻看电话簿，发现拨错了号码。the
number和dial之间是动宾关系，故用过去分词dialed作宾语补足语，表示被动。
12．stable 句意：他是一个如此可靠的人，我们都可以相信他。stable“可靠的，稳重的，可信赖的”。
13．beaten 句意：观察被踩出来的足迹，你就会发现狼去了什么地方。beaten
track“被踩出来的路，常规；惯例”，固定短语。
14．expectation 句意：人们普遍期望他能在竞赛中取得第一名。expectation“预料，期待，期望”。
15．up call
up
唤起(记忆)。句意：这部电影的场景唤起了我在农场工作时的回忆。

My
most
__1__
(embarrass)
moment
occurred
last
month.I
was
invited
to
attend
an
interview
for
a
job
as
a
hotel
receptionist.I
arrived
on
time
and
was
shown
into
the
manager's
office
by
an
assistant.I
was
so
nervous
__2__
I
didn't
catch
the
manager's
name.The
interview
began.“Do
you
have
any
previous
experience
in
hotels？”
asked
the
manager.“No，sir，”I
said.The
manager
frowned.“Are
you
good
at
using
computers？”“Yes，sir.I
am
familiar
__3__
most
popular
kinds
of
software.”
The
manager
frowned
again.He
didn't
look
a
friendly
person.
The
interview
continued.Every
answer
I
gave
__4__
(receive)
by
a
frown
from
the
manager，even
though
I
told
him
about
my
__5__
(communicate)
skills，my
knowledge
of
French
and
so
on.__6__
(obvious)，I
was
doing
very
badly.
At
last,
the
interview
came
to
a
close.“One
final
question，”
said
the
manager.“How
good
is
__7__
(you)
eyesight？”“Excellent，sir，”
I
replied.“Very
well，”said
the
manager,
“thank
you
for
coming.”I
stood
up
__8__
(shake)
his
hands.When
the
manager
stood
up
as
well，I
realized
what
I
had
been
doing
wrong.The
gentleman
__9__
I
had
been
calling
“sir”
during
the
whole
interview
was
wearing
a
skirt!
The
manager
was
a
woman!
I
didn't
get

Last
week
I
went
to
visit
to
my
former
neighbor，Mr.
Yang.He
and
I
used
to
living
next
to
each
other
for
many
years.About
half
a
year
ago，an
order
came
which
the
old
building，along
with
many
other
similar
ones，were
going
to
be
pulled
down
to
make
room
for
a
main
street.
So
I
had
to
move
apart.Mr.Yang
now
lives
in
the
suburbs
near
a
beautiful
park.His
new
apartment
is
much
big
than
before.The
only
problem
is
that
it
took
quite
a
long
time
to
get
to
the
downtown
area.Therefore，Mr.Yang
doesn't
seem
to
worry
about
the
long
distance.He
says
that
new
subway
line
is
to
be
built
in
a
few
year
and
he
is
sure
life
will
be
better
in
the
future.
