D.tomaketheorganizationwellknown答案：10-13

DCBB解析：10.D推斷題。由最后一段我們可以看出作者主要針對糖尿病人。11.C細(xì)節(jié)題。由Itcontainsusefulinformationandmayhelpyoutalktoyourdoctor可知答案。12.B詞義題。從第一段我們知道，作者希望糖尿病人注意自己的膽固醇數(shù)字，接下來，作者在第二段提醒人們要一本免費(fèi)的ChoLESterol，因此我們可以推斷ChoLESterol是向人們介紹如何降低膽固醇的。13.B推斷題。在本文中作者首先提出讓人們注意膽固醇數(shù)字，接著向人們介紹ChoLESterol，因此作者寫這篇文章的目的是幫助那些膽固醇數(shù)字高的人們。26.Theincomesofskilledworkerswentup.

(3marks)小題3:Whydoestheauthorstillworkattherestaurantduringvacations?(Nomorethan13words)(2marks)小題4:Whatdidtheauthorlearnfromhisfirstjob?(Nomorethan11words)

(3marks)解析：文章是一篇記敘文，講述作者在餐廳打工的經(jīng)歷，選材貼近學(xué)生日常生活，難度適中。小題1:首先根據(jù)applyeverywhere定位到文章第二段第二行soIappliedeverywhereIcouldthatsummer，這一題的考點(diǎn)是why，即問applyeverywhere的原因，根據(jù)句中的so得出答案在本句的前半部分Iwantedtosaveupmoneyandbuymyowncar.答題時(shí)注意人稱的變化改成Hewantedtosaveupmoneyandbuyhisowncar.小題2:本題定位詞particularlyexpect，位置在第二段最后一句Themanagerexpectedacleanenvironmentand,particularly,fastservicewithafriendlysmile.答案要寫完整的句子Themangerparticularlyexpectedthemtoofferfastservicewithafriendlysmile.注意：這一題問manager期待worker做什么，而文中出現(xiàn)的是名詞短語fastservice，所以要根據(jù)常識補(bǔ)充餐廳服務(wù)員是給客人提供服務(wù)(offerservice).小題3:本題利用定位詞stillwork定位到第四段第一句話OverthreeyearslaterIstillworkattherestaurantwheneverIgohomeduringvacations.后面一句即是解釋原因Ilovemyco-workersthereandallthecustomersknowwhoIam.答案也參照第82題把人稱修改Heloveshisco-workersandallthecustomersknowwhoheis.小題4:本體是綜合理解問作者從他的第一份工作中學(xué)到什么，根據(jù)記敘文意義升華在尾段，定位到最后一段，F(xiàn)rommyfirstjobattherestaurant,Ilearnedteamworkanddevotion.Ialsolearnedstayingpositivenomatterhowroughthingsseemtoget.答案受字?jǐn)?shù)限制需要合并句子，修改為Helearnedteamwork,devotion,andstayingpositiveinroughsituations.32.—
