　　For a small town, Manhattan ,Kansas has some big surprises, And one of them is the Holiday Inn Hotel, with rooms built around a swimming pool and a friendly family atmosphere.

　　The Holiday Inn is where Manhattan people often go for a special party or a night out. A lot of them choose to eat in the brightly-lit restaurant near the pool. And many of them will be served by Ellen Logan, who has worked as a waitress here for more than two years.

　　Ellen, like most of the waitresses is also a student. She comes from Nebraska, but she's planning one day to be a veterinary surgeon, and to care for small animals. But in order to support herself at college, she works twenty hours a week at the Holiday Inn.

　　Ellen soon learns what every waitress finds out. You had better have a good pair of shoes. She paid forty-five dollars for hers, much more than she would usually spend. She's discovered something else, too. You don't have to know much about food be a good waitress, but you do have to know a lot about people.

　　“A lot of business people always stay here when they come to Manhattan,” she explains. “They like you to recognize them and remember their favorite dishes. But some couples come for a night out together. They just want to be left alone. Then there are people who can't make up their minds. They look down at the menu and say ‘What do you suggest! So I ask them how hungry they are. If they say‘ Not very,’ I suggest the salad bar with soup, salad, bread, and a fruit plate. But if they say they're very hungry, I suggest a Kansas Strip Steak, with potatoes or rice. You get salad and bread as well. It's very nice. Real good value.”

　　Ellen may get tired feet sometimes, but at least she's learning too much about people. She'll probably make a good animal doctor, but if she finds she doesn't like it after all, she can always become a psychiatrist (心理医生) instead.

Answer 1

答案：A;A;D;B;D
解析：

(1) A 本文主角是女学生Ellen，事件是她在Holiday Inn做part-time job，对照四个选项可以看出，A项为最佳选项.B、C两项没有论及主人公，显然不对.D项的题目没有体现本文主旨，也不对. (2) A a veterinary surgeon 这个词出现在第三自然段第二句可见to care for small animals即为a veterinary surgeon的工作，所以答案为A. (3) D 文中只是说到like most of the waitresses，而不是all,所以A项不对.B项中required一词用得不准确.这只是经验，而不是要求，所以B项也不对.C项更加不对，文中有原句You don't have to know much about food to be a good waitress…D项是正确的.文中有…but you do have to know a lot about people． (4) B 四个选项中，由第一段知A项准确C项正确D项正确.B项不准确.第五段第二句中的you不是泛指，而是特指waitress，所以应选B. (5) D A项的except couples不对，第一段的列举中提到了couples，文中只是说They just want to be left alone，并没有说不需要deal with.B项不对，问题出在except the place where it lies.第一段中说到with rooms built around a swimming pool，怎么能说位置不好呢?C项不符合第六段首句.D项正确，与文章第五段相符.
