　　本篇完形填空是一篇夹叙夹议的文章，讲述了一个家庭生意失败之后重新开

　　始的故事。文章通过这个故事阐明一个道理：我们在追寻事业成功的时候，

　　可能会失去家庭，因此我们要学会兼顾我们的事业和家庭。

　　[31].考查名词。从后文Weenteredthepark可知，应该是在公园门口（entrance)，故选B。

　　[32].考查动词。从前文whenourrestaurantbusinessfailed和hopingtohavea“freshstart”可知，作者是在寻找工作，注意到一个招聘广告，符合语境，故选noticed。

　　[33].考查名词。后文提到arent-freeplace，可知campsite是免费的（free)，故选free。

　　[34].考查介词短语。A项inreturn作为回报；B项inturn反过来，反之；C项缩短；D项及时。根据填空处前文句可知要取得这个工作，需要做公园主持人来作为回报，故选inturn.

　　[35].考查名词。A.attempt尝试；B.appeal吸引；C.agreement同意，协议；D.appointment约定，预约。前文知道作者看到招聘广告，明天预约（makeanappointment)应聘，符合语境，应选appointment。

　　[36].考查形容词。A.quiet安静的；B.ideal理想的；C.crowded拥挤的；D.dangerous;根据后文soittookussometimetofindanavailablesite,可知人多很难找住的位置，所以选crowded.

　　[37].考查副词。文中提到twolargeskunks（臭鼬）,所以马上躲避。故选immediately。

　　[38].考查动词。由上文立即躲避臭鼬，可知他们很希望它尽快离开，故选leave。

　　[39].考查形容词。由前文havingsurvivedthatnight,可知他们对于后面的时间有了自信，故选confident。

　　[40].考查名词。由前文Imadeanappointmentforthefollowingday和thenextdaywemetwiththepeoplewhoranthepark.可知他们去应聘了，管理人员告诉他们职位的职责，符合语境，故选responsibilities.

　　[41].考查连词。由前文everythingelsewouldbeallright和后文rockingourlittlecampingtruckviolently...untilthewindsdiedaway可知，前后情况是一种相反的场景，故选转折连词however.

　　[42].考查了名词。由后文Theywerestrongandcold,rockingourlittlecampingtruckviolently...untilthewindsdiedaway,可知是wind(复现)，故选winds.

　　[43].考查动词。由前文rockingourlittlecampingtruckviolently可知卡车（truck）在摇动(shake），故选shaking.

　　[44].考查介词。A.after在......之后;B.beyond超越......范围；C.during在......期间；D.Between在两者之间，应该是指后续的几周期间，故选during。

　　[45].考查动词短语。A.liveon靠...生活;以...为食;B.handout分发；giveaway捐赠，泄露；putaside存储，留出，搁置

　　[46].考查动词。根据上文，生意失败，所以作者的妻子要靠教书来挣钱，故选earned。

　　[47].考查名词。根据后文Imightlosemyfamilyaswell和buildingasuccessfulbusinessandthenlosingit看出作者留给家的时间很少，复现，故选family。

　　[48].考查动词。根据文章第一段第一句whenourrestaurantbusinessfailed可知，填failed,复现。

　　[49].考查名词。由文章第五段ourlittlecampingtruck，可知填truck,tiny是small的同义替换，考查复现。

　　[50].考查形容词。由前文可知作者找到工作和后文wehadbecomeafamily可知，作者工作、家庭都有收获，所以作者感激，故选thankful.

　　【难度说明】：中等。

　　B.Thedesireforaremarkablemachine

　　C.Theparticularinterestofexperts

　　D.Thegeneralviewofelevator

　　【解析】代词指代题。题干意思为：第一段中的划线词“this”指的是什么？可以快速定位到第一段划线词所在句：Dr.ChristopherWilkisamemberofasmallgroupofelevatorexpertswhoconsiderthisamisunderstanding.大意为：“该教授认为这是误解”，而this通常指代上文的事物，因此可以定位到上一句，即文章的首句：Formostcitypeople,…。从该句可以看出大多数都市人认为电梯是unremarkable（平凡的），可知教授认为大多数人的这种认识是有误的，即答案为D项。

　　A.Uncomfortableconditions

　　B.Littlephysicalspace

　　C.Lackofexcitement

　　D.Verticaldirection

　　【答案】B

　　【解析】细节理解题。根据题干意思，可定位到倒数第二段的最后一句话：Thatmixture,accordingtoBernard,setstheelevatorrideapartfromjustabouteveryothersituationwefindourselvesinaswegoaboutourlives.由此可知，使得elevatorride不同于其它生活经历的是thatmixture,而thatmixture指的是前一句的themixtureofclosenessanddispleasure,即乘坐电梯时的封闭性和令人不悦的影响，B项littlephysicalspace与文中closeness（封闭性）同义替换，为正确答案。所以答案为B项。
