1.Whatcanbethebesttitleforthistext?
A.HowHardLifeIsforBoxBoys
B.GettingalongwithCustomers
C.WhyIGaveupMyJob
D.TheArtofTakingTips
解析:
选C 标题归纳题。
通过阅读全文可知,作者在超市工作时有顾客给小费,他认为接受小费是一种礼貌行为;
但是经理不允许他收小费,这使得作者很为难,最后作者放弃了这份工作。
C项概括了全文主旨,适合做本文的标题。
2.Fromthesecondparagraph,wecaninferthat________.
A.thewriterdidn’tliketheimpersonalpartofhisjob
B.withanameplate,peoplecaneasilystarttalking
C.MrCastlemistookIrvingforBrett
D.Irvingwasthewriter’srealname
选A 推理判断题。
根据第二段第九句“Hedidn’tremembermeatall;
hejustreadthenameplate.”可知,顾客之所以能叫出作者的名字,是因为他身上佩戴了写有名字的名牌。
同时由第二段最后一句“There’snothingpersonalhere.”可推知,作者应该是不喜欢自己的工作缺乏人情味这一点。
故选A。
3.Theboxboyrefusedtoaccepttipsbecause________.
A.customersonlygavesmalltips
B.somecustomershadstrangeideasabouttipping
C.thestoredidn’tallowtheboxboystotaketips
D.hedidn’twanttofightwiththecustomers
选C 细节理解题。
根据第三段第二句“Oneofthesewas:
youcouldn’taccepttips.”可知,公司不允许接受小费,所以作者拒绝收客人的小费。
故选C。
4.Theunderlinedphrase“putdown”inthethirdparagraphprobablymeans“________”.
A.misunderstood B.defeated
C.hatefulD.hurt
选D 词义猜测题。
文中第三段提及,如果作者不接受客人的小费,客人会很不高兴,且由“Itgetstoapoint...preventhimfromtippingyou.”的提示可推知,putdown的意思应为“受伤害”,与hurt意思相近。
故选D。
B
