【解析】

试题分析：本文讲述作者独自一人去奥克兰求学，需要一份工作充实自己的生活经历，并在一位陌生人的帮助下最终获得了一份工作。作者以此向我们展示一个生活真谛：只要努力，世界会给每个人以回报。

1.考查名词：doubt”怀疑”;concern”担心,挂念,关怀”;instruction”命令,指示,教诲,教导”;由上文的”my mother was worried about a lack of jobs and cultural differences”可知,这是妈妈对我的关心。故此处要用concerns。选B。

2.考查连词短语：even if”即使”;every time”每次”;now that”既然,由于”;soon after”不久以后”。上文说到我不理睬妈妈的担心,但是到了奥克兰之后不久,我就意识到了得到一份工作对我生活开支的重要性。故D项符合文意。

3.考查介词：对于我的生活经历而言,我认识到得到一份工作对我生活开支的重要性。for”对于;至于”,符合题意。故选C项。

4.on one’s own”独自地,独立地”;on one’s way”在路上”;by any chance”万一”;by the day”按天计算;按日”。从下文看,作者出去找工作都是独自一人完成的,故on my own适合题意。选A。

5.考查形容词：由but可知,but后面的内容应该和前面的I spent several weeks going doortodoor for a job形成转折,”我没找到工作”。选项中只有little表示否定意义。故选D项。

6.考查连接词：我进这所大楼,目的是想找到一份工作,所以去问是否能有工作机会。why”为什么”;wherever”无论在哪里”;whether”是否”;whenever”无论何时”。故只有C项符合题意。

7.考查名词：direction”方向,指导,趋势,用法说明”;attitude”态度,意见,看法”;language”语言”;manner”方式,方法,态度,举止,礼貌,规矩,习惯”;in that manner”以那种方式”。根据上文的I spent several weeks going doortodoor for a job可知,我找工作的方法是挨家挨户地去问,所以这座大楼里的人建议我不要再用这种方式找工作了。故D项符合题意。

8.考查动词：answer”回答”;work”工作”;leave”离开”;refuse”拒绝”。根据上文描述可知,我在此处并没有找到工作,所以正打算离开。Be about to leave”正要离开”,符合文意。选C。

9.考查词组：for ever”永远”;at any time”在任何时候”;as usual “像往常一样”;for a while”一会儿”。由下文的nearly ten minutes later可知,这位一直在旁边听的人是想让我在外面等一会。故D项符合题意。

10.考查动词：return”回来”;hesitate”犹豫”;pass”经过,通过”;regret”后悔”。由下文中”He asked me....”可知这个人回来了。故A项符合题意。

11.考查形容词：silent”沉默的,寂静的”;busy”忙碌的”;positive”积极的”;comfortable”舒适的,舒服的”。由上下文可知,他询问了我的计划,并且鼓励我要继续保持积极的态度,然后推荐我去罗亚尔奥克找一份工作。故C项符合题意。

12.考查动词短语：pick out”挑选出”;search for”寻找,搜索”;take on”呈现,接纳,雇用”;give up”放弃”。从下文可以看出,我在罗亚尔奥克找到了一份工作。故此处只有search for才符合文意。选B。

13.考查形容词：dull”无趣的,单调的”;good”好的,令人满意的”;guilty”自知有过错的,内疚的”;general”一般的,普遍的,大体的,笼统的”。由常识可知,他帮了我,我自然是对他有好感。故B项符合题意。

14.考查词组：make use of”利用”;take care of”照顾”;run out of”用完,用光”;become tired of”厌烦”。由下文的Seeing this,the man at his business partner’s office to make me fifteen copies可知,我的简历表用完了。故只有C项符合题意。

15.考查动词搭配：stop at”逗留在,住宿,对……有所踌躇”;knock at”敲(门、窗等)”;glance at”看一下,浏览”;appear at”到达,出现在”。由常识可知,此处是指他在生意合作伙伴的办公室里,给我复印简历。故A项符合题意。

16.考查形容词：上文提到我的简历用完了,所以此处又复印了15份。表示”再,又”,英语中可以用”基数词+more+复数名词”或者”another+基数词+复数名词”来表示。故只有B项符合题意。

17.考查名词：pressure”压力”;agreement”协议,同意”;impression”印象,影响”;suggestion”建议”。由下文的dressing and speaking可知,此处指他就dressing and speaking而给我提的建议。故选D项。

18.考查形容词：lonely”孤独的,寂寞的”;funny”滑稽的”;disappointed”失望的”;satisfied”感到满意的”。由上文的内容可知,简历虽然用完了,但是这个人又帮我找地方复印了,还就我的dressing and speaking给我提出建议。故我应该是感到满意。故选D项。 

19.考查名词：call”电话”;tip”小费;建议”;present”礼物”;report”报告”。由常识可知,此处是指我接到了要我去罗亚尔奥克一家商店工作的电话。故选A项。

20.考查词组：turn off”关掉,断开;拐弯”;go over “复习;仔细检查”;give back”归还;送回;恢复;后退”;look up”仰望;查阅”。由本文所描述的故事可知,我的体会就是世界似乎总是在你最需要它的时候回报你。故选C项。
