23、A 【小题 16】 C 【小题 17】 B 【小题 18】 D 【小题 19】 C 【小题 20】 A 试题分析： 【小题 1】 .B 通读全文可知，在面试的等待的时候，他非常紧张。 【小题 2】 C 从短文的情景看，显然是 James自己不知如何是好。 【小题 3】 C 后暗示题。下文有 for nearly an hour和 an hour earlier 。 【小题 4】 A 该文除 James外，还谈到了另外一个应聘者 (a woman)的情况。Jamesnervous, the womanconfident, 两人形成了对比，所以选 A。 【小题 5】 B由于自己紧张，女应聘者自信，
24、再加上女应聘者 “had been in there for nearly an hour”,所以该空用 sure符合短文大意。 【小题 6】 D 上下文串联。他是来参加面试希望得到那份工作，而这位女应聘者似乎已经得到了。 【小题 7】 D 后暗示题，下文中的 “s uch a lot before the day of the interview.

27、【小题 19】 C “that he had gone home after all”是虚拟语气形式，表达与事实 相反的愿望，四个选项中只有 wish才有这种用法。 【小题 20】 A 由于紧张，双腿颤抖，额头冒汗。要填的为独立主格结构中的现在分词 shaking。 考点：考查情感类完型填空 点评：这篇短文主要描写 James在办公室外面等候应聘面试时的心理活动，通篇以 James的紧张、忧虑为主线。本文设空合理，考查全面，对于心理描写十分到位，要根据上下文的语义串联全文。着重词义的辨析，要求根据上下文的语境来判断使用词汇。 阅读理解 Bolivia has a population thre
