解析【小題1】B 通讀全文可知，這篇短文主要描寫 James 在辦公室外面等候應聘面試時的心理活動，通篇以 James 的緊張、憂慮為主線。
【小題1】C 從短文的情景看，顯然是 James 自己不知如何是好。
【小題1】C 后暗示題。下文有 for nearly an hour 和…an hour earlier。
【小題1】A 該文除 James 外，還談到了另外一個應聘者a woman的情況。James—nervous the woman—confident兩人形成了對比，所以選 A。
【小題1】B 由于自己緊張，女應聘者自信，再加上女應聘者 “had been in there for nearly an hour”所以該空用 sure 符合短文大意。
【小題1】D 上下文暗示題。
【小題1】D 后暗示題，下文中的“…such a lot before the day of the interview. He had imagined himself…” 極想得到這份工作， 說明 James 對應聘這份工作很重視， 所以選 so much。 ，所以“It meant everything to him”.
【小題1】A 因為“極想得到這份工作”everything 過于具體、片面。
【小題1】C 后暗示題。從下句中“He had imagined himself…”可看出他是在想，而非做夢。
【小題1】B explaining answering writing 都是表示單項的、具體的動作。performing 可以表示應聘面試時總的表現(xiàn)情況，填在空缺處更符合文意。
【小題1】C imagine 的搭配動名詞，想象“被給工作”時的情景。
【小題1】D “But” 說明現(xiàn)在 的感覺與前一天的想象截然不同， 表示語義上的轉(zhuǎn)折， 所以 feeling后應填一個表示“糟糕”的詞。
【小題1】D 情急之下，James 記不住事先計劃好的臺詞。
【小題1】C planned計劃好的。解析見上題。
【小題1】A 前后暗示題。他幾乎要站起來離開，而不是進去。
【小題1】C 三個短語 take back收回、put off推遲、put down鎮(zhèn)壓、寫下來都常做及物動詞 give up放棄既可做及物動詞，也可做不及物動詞，填在這里，既符合語意，又符合句子結(jié)構。
【小題1】B 語意題。她對自己的表現(xiàn)很滿意。
【小題1】D 看到她得意的表情，James 更相信她搶了自己的工作，所以恨她。
【小題1】C “that he had gone home after all”是虛擬語氣形式，表達與事實相反的愿望，四個選項中只有 wish 才有這種用法。
【小題1】A 由于緊張，雙腿顫抖，額頭冒汗。要填的為獨立主格結(jié)構中的現(xiàn)在分詞 shaking。
