Answer 1

DABCA BCABB ABCCA DCACA
1.由句意可知：每二、四、六早飯之后，Dan Heins都要去醫(yī)院做透析。所以這里指他的常規(guī)做法。routine常規(guī)，慣例。route固定線路；way方法，service服務(wù).
2.由句中的時(shí)間上午6點(diǎn)到10點(diǎn)，和文中給出的after可以推測(cè)出，他是早飯之后去透析。
3.根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知Dan是這里的�？�，故作為老板娘的Nancy應(yīng)該知道他的病因，而不是想象、推測(cè)等。
4.be responsible for表示“對(duì)……負(fù)責(zé)”。故句意為：糖尿病是造成Dan腎衰和切除一條腿的根源。
5.根據(jù)句意：Nancy為了還房貸和維持小店，不得不還打兩份零工。Keep the café open表示“使得小店開(kāi)門(mén)/維持下去”。
6.因?yàn)樵谛〕缘杲酗�，他不可能通知或大呼小叫的告訴別人，故排除A、D, smile與病中Dan的心情不符，故選B，murmur表示“低語(yǔ)”。
7.上文的“I’ll donate”和下文的While they were waiting for the transplant都表明Dan需要器官移植，故選 transplant表示“器官移植”；transfer表示“遷移, 移動(dòng)”。
8.由上下文可知，Dan是小吃店的一個(gè)顧客，故排除B、C、D選項(xiàng)。A normal friend表示“普通朋友”。
9.根據(jù)下文Nancy花了幾個(gè)星期才讓他信以為真，可知起初Dan不相信這是真的。
10.考查動(dòng)詞的辨析。convince sb.that…/convince sb. of sth.表示“使……信服”。
11.經(jīng)過(guò)一系列的測(cè)試，Nancy是腎臟相匹配的人。match表示“般配的人”。partner合作伙伴；companion同伴，伙伴；mate配偶, 同事.
12..上文提及了找到了匹配的人，現(xiàn)在理應(yīng)是等待接受移植，所以用wait for。
13.由下文可知Nancy的經(jīng)濟(jì)狀況愈來(lái)愈糟糕，故選situation，表示“情景，狀況”。position職位； profession職業(yè)； condition情況, 條件。
14.這是一個(gè)由though引導(dǎo)的倒裝讓步狀語(yǔ)從句。當(dāng)as, though引導(dǎo)讓步狀語(yǔ)從句時(shí)，從句倒裝。（though可以用陳述語(yǔ)序）
15.由下文Nancy擔(dān)心不能工作和人們的捐款，可推測(cè)出她的家境即將處于困境之中。
16. 根據(jù)句子的主語(yǔ)Dan's insurance 可以排除A、B、C選項(xiàng)，因?yàn)樗麄冃栌萌嘶虮硎救说拿�詞做主語(yǔ)。cover表示“涵蓋，支付”。
17.該動(dòng)詞的賓語(yǔ)是捐款箱，故應(yīng)放到合適的位置，而不是現(xiàn)場(chǎng)制作，或平放、豎放。
18.上文的meet her housing loans 給該空提供了信息。
19. 因?yàn)槭瞧鞴僖浦彩中g(shù)，需要雙方動(dòng)手術(shù)，故選A。surgery表示“外科手術(shù)”。而其他A、B、D表示“支持者；個(gè)性；生命”。
20.由于進(jìn)行了腎移植，Dan終于擺脫了糖尿病的困擾。off表示“離開(kāi)，遠(yuǎn)離”。
