A.AnactofkindnessB.ApleasantinterviewC.ThesameexperienceD.Animportantlesson
1.选B。
文章的第一段主要谈到“找工作面试的原因”，其中keepmyfamilyinBoston是个总的原因说明，而妻子的去世和女儿的就学问题均是其中的一个方面。
2.选D。
由第二段中politely，didn’tprobeanyfurther和admittedmylossand,withgreatrespect,movedontoanothersubject等相关信息可猜知，Bruce是个善解人意的人。
rough表示“粗糙的”，“粗野的”；easy-going表示“随和的”；learned意思是“有学问的”，“博学的”，而understanding意为“能体谅人的”，“宽容的”，合乎题意。
3.选D。
A、B和C三个选项都已在第三段中提到，第三段最后一句WhetherIgotthejobornot不能说明作者获得了工作。
4.选C。
由Whenhehadnoideaifwewouldeverseeeachotheragain,hehelpedourfamilydealwithoneofthegreatestlosses这句话可做出判断。
5.选A。
全文主要以“我”在一次工作面试中的经历，讲述亲身体会到的一次“善举”，以及它对“我”的生活的影响。

1.选A。
主旨大意题。
本文围绕theSearsTower展开，描述了该建筑的特点、设计思路以及现在的一些变化等。
因此不难总结出本文中心话题是theSearsTower。
2.选A。
细节理解题。
注意文章首段第二句话中的theheightof1,454feet以及第二段中的fullheightof443meters，用的单位不同，表达方式不同，但是都是说此建筑的高度，不难分析出两个长度是相同的。
3.选D。
细节判断题。
A从第一段中可找到对应句，B对应第三段首句，C、D两项信息源为一个，仔细分析文章末句句子结构，可以知道在theSearsTower附近的街区是以theSearsTower的主要设计工程师的名字来重新命名的。
4.选A。
词义分析题。
通过第二段对theSearsTower设计原理的描述，我们可以分析出theSearsTower用于抵制芝加哥大风的设计办法是巧妙的，有创造性的，因此答案为A。
5.选B。
推理判断题。
注意题干给出的信息，“坐落在风城”，可以推断出SearsTower的设计是抵制强风的，其他几项可以作为它的设计目的，但并不是由该题干引出的结论。

1.选D。
全文从闪电的发生时间、种类、频率、电流强度、危害程度等方面说明闪电的杀伤力。
2.选D。
由第四段第一句以及常识可知Florida并非美国首都,而是被科学家称为"美国的闪电之都"；由第四段第三句可知户外活动增加了遭电击的可能,但是B没有前提,不够全面；由第四段第四句可知热气和湿气只是产生闪云的原因,而非产生闪电的直接原因,也可由此推出D正确。
3.选D。
该段的主题句Hereareafewlightningsafetytips就说明了这一点。
4.选A。
第二段第二句onlyfloodskillmorepeoplethanlightning,第三句Lightningisverypowerfulandhasenoughenergy...以及第四段第一句ScientistscallFloridathelightningcapitaloftheUS分别暗示B、C和D正确；而第一段第一句说明A本身是错误的。
