"I should like to know，"said one of his （53）friends（朋友），"Why do you （54）
perfer（更喜歡）that boy？He didn't have a letter or a recommendation．"
"You're wrong，"said the gentleman．"He had a great many．He closed the door（55）
behind（在…后面）him．That showed that he was careful．He gave his seat at once to that old man．I found that he was kind and thoughtful．He took off his cap when he came in and answered my question at once．That showed he was （56）polite（禮貌的）and friendly．"
"I threw some books on the floor by myself and some people went over them，but that boy picked them up and put them on the table．He waited quietly for his turn （57）
instead（代替）of pushing．When I talked to him，I found his （58）clothes（衣服）were tidy，his hair was （59）brushed（刷，梳）clearly and his finger nails were clean．I think these are more important （60）than（比）a letter and a recommendation．"

Answer 1

分析 文章大意：這是一篇記敘文．講述了一個人在五十個應(yīng)聘者中脫穎而出，并不是因為他有推薦信，而是因為他在各自細節(jié)方面做得很好，通過很多細節(jié)動作而體現(xiàn)出他認真，善良，體貼，有禮貌；通過他的著裝看出他是一個十分整潔的人，這些品質(zhì)都比推薦信要重要得多．

解答 51．fifty 考查數(shù)詞．結(jié)合中文提示可知用fifty來表示五十，修飾名詞復數(shù)people，表示五十個人．
52．others 考查不定代詞．one…the others表示一個…（某個特定范圍內(nèi)的）另一些，此題表示50個人除了一個中的另一些，要用復數(shù)形式others來表示．
53．friends 考查固定搭配與名詞的數(shù)．one of+可數(shù)名詞復數(shù)表示…中的一個，此題由中文提示可知用friend來表示朋友，且要用它的復數(shù)形式．
54．prefer 考查詞形．由中文提示可知用prefer表示更喜歡，且在助動詞do后，要用行為動詞原形，所以此題填prefer的原形即可．
55．behind 考查介詞．由中文提示可知用behind表示在…后面．
56．polite 考查形容詞．由中文提示可知用polite表示禮貌的．
57．instead 考查固定搭配．結(jié)合中文提示和instead of表示代替可得出此題的答案．
58．clothes 考查名詞．由中文提示可知用clothes表示衣服．
59．brushed 考查語態(tài)．由中文提示可知用brush表示刷，梳，hair和brush間是動賓關(guān)系，當hair作主語時，要用被動語態(tài)．結(jié)構(gòu)為be+及物動詞的過去分詞，此題中be動詞was已經(jīng)給出，所以填brush的過去分詞即可．
60．than 考查連詞．由中文提示可知用than表示比，是比較級的標志．

點評 考查平日語法知識和詞匯題的積累，注意人稱時態(tài)和名詞的數(shù)的變化，并結(jié)合語境作答，注意上下文間的邏輯關(guān)系是解題關(guān)鍵．
