As I walked, I thought seriously 19 giving up both acting and San Francisco. 20 had become too much for me.
As I walked down 21 streets under tall buildings, I felt very 22 and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.
About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned 23 , half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. 24 I saw was a shining streetlight. 25 , the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run fast. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.
26 I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to 27 I’d heard the noise. 28 I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.
Just as I was about 29 the search, I heard the garbage truck pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice 30 from the inside. “Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an 31 look in his eyes. “Is this what you’re looking for?” he asked, 32 a small square shape.
It was nearly 3 a. m. by the time I got into bed. I 33 get much sleep that night, but I had gotten my wallet back. I 34 had gotten back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn’t be a bad place 35 people were willing to help each other. 16．A. exercise B. work

【文章大意】在一个失意的夜晚作者独自回家，工作及生活的不顺使作者心情沮丧，甚至于考虑要放弃在旧金山这个大都市的生活。然而随后发生的钱包失而复得的事情却让作者感受到了人们之间的温暖，也感受到了世界的美好，内心又充满了对城市生活的希望。
16．C从下文With opening night only a week away,可知作者在剧院排练，practice强调提高技巧的训练，而exercise强调习题，故选C项。
17．A从前句内容可知离首映只有几周时间了，作者台词还没记住，所以用still“仍然”表示作者无奈和沮丧的心情。故选A项。 18．D固定短语have trouble doing sth “做某事有困难”，故排除A、D选项。 deal with“处理；对付”，而handle是及物动词，不和介词连用，故选D项。
19．B Think of “想起，认为”；think about “考虑”； think over“仔细考虑”；think out“想出”。
第17页 共38页
从语境可知作者在想放弃，所以用think about，故选B项。
20．A由文章末段….had gotten back some enjoyment of city life可以判断作者打算放弃都市生活，故选A项。
21．D busy忙碌的，繁忙的；crowded拥挤的；noisy吵闹的；empty空寂的，空的。根据下文The street was empty，故选D项。
22．C proud骄傲的；confident自信的；small小的；excited激动的。从文章叙述可知此时作者心情沮丧，在空荡荡的大街上，自然会感到自己的渺小，无助。故选C项。
23．D fast强调运动着的物体速度快，而quickly指动作的迅速发生；rapidly强调短期内发生，由语境可知作者听到声音后是迅速转身去看，所以应该用quickly，故选D项。
24．B代从结构可以判断此句缺少主语，I saw是省略关系代词的定语从句， all 后面不能用which引导的定语从句；而that 和which 前没有先行词，由此判断选B项。
25．B Therefore因此；Still仍然；Consequently因此；Subsequently随后，后来。根据上下文可知尽管作者回头没看到想象的坏人，可是声音还是让他紧张害怕，故选B项。
26．A Suddenly突然；Gradually逐渐地；Absolutely绝对地；Exactly确切地。从上文可知作者身心疲倦，而看到钱包丢了的时候，立即跑回大街上去找，所以用suddenly表示状况的迅速转变，故选A项。
27．C根据语法可知此处是to后面跟宾语从句，从句意思完整，不缺少成分，所以用where做地点状语。故选C项。
28．B Even if即使；Although虽然；As if仿佛；As though仿佛，好像。从上下文可知此处是转折关系，尽管我找了15分钟，我的钱包还是没有找到，而even if 含有假设的意味，故选B项。
29．C give in 让步；give up放弃。固定短语be about to do “正要做某事”，根据语境可知作者找不到钱包，正打算放弃，故选C项。
30．A考查非谓语。从结构可知此处是when引导的状语从句，从句缺少谓语动词，而且和句子主语是主动关系，故选A项。
31．D amusing滑稽可笑的；amazing令人惊讶的；amazed感到惊讶的；amused逗乐的，觉得好笑的。从语境可知开车的人看着作者的惊讶，觉得很好笑，故选D项。
32．B hold up 举起； hold on 坚持。从语境可知此时开车人一边问，一边举着钱包，而由语法结构判断只有现在分词短语可以表示伴随状况，再根据词意可知选B项。
33．B从上文可知作者找到钱包时已经是凌晨三点了，此处指作者没有多长的休息时间了，故用过去将来时态，故选B项。
34．C根据上文可知陌生人把捡到的钱包还给了作者，由此推断作者内心应该是感激的、开心的，所以作者不但找回了钱包，而且也找回了城市生活的快乐，故选C项。
35．D as far as远至，据；as well as和……一样好；as soon as一……就；as long as只要。根据语境可知作者认为如果人们彼此帮助，城市也不是冷漠无情的，而是一个很好的居住地，故选D项。 8
