She fixed it and they kept going.
When they finally reached the finish line, they found that they had come in the first place! It was a great day for Julie and her dogs.

I???5???to be one of the people on the way to work that morning. I went from subway line to subway line only to find that most???6 ??had stopped.

Then I had to walk several blocks in the increasingly heavy rain. When I finally got to my office, I was???12 ??through, exhausted and ????13 ???.
My co-workers and I spent most of the day drying off. When it was 5:00 pm, I was ready to go home. I was about to turn off my computer???14 ??I received an e-mail from Garth, my Director:
"I would like to thank all of you who made the effort and ???15 ???reported to work. It is always reassuring（令人欣慰）, at times like these, when employees so clearly show their???16 ???to their jobs. Thank you. "
Garth's e-mail was short, but I learned more from that???17???message than I ever did from a textbook. The e-mail taught me that a few words of ???18 ??can make a big difference.

1. B??flood意為“淹沒”，符合題意。Break“中斷，斷裂”；sink“下沉”；crash“碰撞，墜落”。三者皆不合題意。

?????校準，使，．，，，．適應”；gather“聚集，集合”。
3. C??call a?taxi叫出租車；order命令，訂購（貨物等），點（菜）。
4. C ?從上文a terrible rainstorm可知是勇敢地面對暴風雨。climate指氣候，不是具體某天的天氣。scenery風景，景色；burden擔子，負擔。
5. D??happen to be“碰巧是．．．…”，表示“我碰巧是那天早晨上班趕路的人的其中之一”。其他三個選項都能和不定式to do/be搭配，但意思不符。used to be曾經(jīng)是；promise to do許諾做……；deserve to be值得是，應受……。

8. A??operate適行，工作；表示“終于找到一條還在運行的地鐵線”。
9. D??board the subway意為“上地鐵”。board上（船、車、飛機）。

16. A ?句意為：有時候像這樣，當員工們?nèi)绱嗣黠@表現(xiàn)出他們對工作的忠于職守時，總是令人欣慰的。
17. C ?通過上文的short可看出，信息是簡短的。accurate準確的，精密的；urgent緊急的；humorous幽默的。
18. B??appreciation“感激”，從上文可知上司給他寫的是感謝信。意為“幾句感謝的話有很大影響”。
19. A ?從上文中的找車、擠車可以看出是交通上的麻煩事，而不是交通信號或規(guī)則。
20. D ?refresh使精力恢復，使精神振作。通過下文的“put a smile back on my?face”可選擇與上文的“tired and?upset”相反的選項。

2. C ?由上文中“set out on a bus across?town”推斷可知。
3. B ?句意為“他們需要更多的錢去支付車費和營業(yè)稅”。4．D ?根據(jù)上文中“they needed more?money”推理，這里是表示他們還缺$3. 75。short常指“錢不足，短缺”。
5. A ?根據(jù)常識，缺錢時去銀行，應該是去貸款。
6. A ?下文說“but that they could get a?cash advance on their parents'?credit card”，可知這里是說貸款是不可能的，故選possible。
7. C ?由于他們聽到銀行營業(yè)員的話，想從家里拿父母的信用卡，下文說“but got no answer”，可知他們是給家里打電話。
8. D ?根據(jù)常識，在這種情況下，他們是不會去威脅、挑戰(zhàn)或者給出納提建議的，應該是請求或抱著試一試的態(tài)度。
9. B ?由下文他們向銀行的副經(jīng)理解釋要銀行給他們放貸的理由可知，這里應該是銀行的副經(jīng)理問他們“銀行為什么應該給他們貸款”，故選should。
10. A ?前面說“Because we- re Boy Scouts?and good students”，可推知這里是說他們值得信賴。
11. D ?下旬說要他們寫借據(jù)，故此處應該是說要他們寫借據(jù)的原因，since意為“因為”，符合文義。
12. C ?根據(jù)常識，寫借據(jù)當然要簽名，故選sign。
13.?B ?根據(jù)常識，銀符發(fā)放貸款是按照程序發(fā)放，故選in turn。
14. D ?句意為“他發(fā)放給他們完成這次任務所需要的錢”。這里用動詞不定式表示目的。
15. A ?由文章結尾句“It was banking at its?best"可知，作者對這件事的態(tài)度是非常贊賞的，這里應該也是對這個經(jīng)理的行為表示欣賞， ?故選wonderful。
16. C ?前面說和這個經(jīng)理交談，這里應該是表示了解到。
17. B ?前面說這個經(jīng)理做過很多這種貸款，這里是說其中包括給一位遭受不公平對待的海軍人員的妻子發(fā)放貸款。
18. D ?由下文的“almost 100 percent of the?time"可知這些貸款都償還了。
19. B ?句意為“用這種方式幫助他人的機會”，opportunity意為“……的機會”。
20. A ?根據(jù)上下文推理：還完借款，他們應是很高興地拿著借據(jù)走了。
