  Carolyn Stradley is the founder of C&S Paving Inc. (铺路公司) in Atlanta, US. In the following account, she recalls the job that challenged her 1 and skill but left her flying high.

   "When the Atlanta Airport was under 2 in 1979, we were a new company struggling to make it. National Car Rental wanted to have 2 500 square meters of dirt paved 3 the cars could be on site 4 the airport opened, and the official opening was only ten days away! 5 other local paving company wanted to do the job, 6 it couldn't be done in such a short time.

  Because we were new and really needed the work, we were 7 to try harder. We gave National Car Rental our offer and 8 our best effort to get the job finished within ten days. We also 9 them that if we failed, they would be no worse off, 10 they had plenty to gain if we succeeded.

  We got the job and immediately went into 11 .

  Working at night needed lights, so I rented a machine to produce electricity for the site. Our 12 challenge was to keep the rock mixture 13 enough. All the available water wagons (洒水车) were rented out for the airport construction, and we certainly couldn't afford to buy a new one. 14 , I got a special 15 to rent fire engine hoses (消防水龙带) and connect them to nearby hydrants (消防栓) ; then I 16 held one of those hoses to 17 down the rock.

  Those ten days were filled with challenges that 18 one creative idea after another. Nine days later, the night before the airport opened, National Car Rental was the 19 company that had cars on the parking lot.

  The key to our success was having the 20 to take on any job and then being creative in our approach to getting it done."

答案:C;A;D;D;C;A;D;B;C;B;B;A;B;D;C;B;D;A;D;A
解析:

(1) 由下文的回忆及最后两段对回忆的总结中提到的"... with challenges that... one creative idea after another""... being creative..."可判断出这一工作挑战了她的创造性。imagination"想象,创造力"

(2) 由第四段中"All the available water wagon were rented out for the airport construction"可知机场正在建设中。under construction"正在建设中"

(3) 由文意知,铺路是为了在机场开始启用时可以有停车场地。由倒数第二段中"Nine days later...that had cars on the parking lot"也可知"the cars could be on site"是目的,因此选D项。

(4) 由下一句"距正式营业还只剩下十天",可知此处应为"当开始启用时要铺好路"

(5) 句意:没有其他的铺路公司想接这项工作,因为在如此短的时间内是无法完成它的。由此语意可知选C项。

(6) 这些铺路公司声明在如此短的时间内无法完成。state"声称;表明"

(7) 因为我们是新公司并且需要这项工作,所以我们愿意努力试试。be willing to do sth."愿意干某事",符合语境。

(8) 我们提出申请做这份工作,并承诺在十天内尽最大努力完成工作。promise"许诺,承诺"

(9) 如果我们失败,他们不会有更坏的结果,但如果我们成功了,他们会得到很多。这应是作者对机场负责人所做的提醒,故用remind

(10) 由此空前后的failedsucceeded可知,此处表转折关系,故用but

(11) 我们接受这项工作后立即开始行动。go into action"行动起来"

(12) Working at night needed lights..."是第一个挑战,表示接下来的又一个挑战应用next"下一个"

(13) 由下面需要洒水车等知此处指保持混合物潮湿。

(14) 由此处语境封断,上下文语意为转折关系,故用instead"反而,却"

(15) 文中讲述的是一个又一个的creative ideas,因此此处用消防系统的消防水带应是C&S铺路公司自己想到并得到允许才使用的。permit"允许"

(16) 此处指我亲自拿起了一个消防水龙带。personally"本人,亲自"

(17) 由语境我拿起水龙带显然可知是浇石块。water""

(18) 由语境知,那些挑战需要创造性思维。require"需要"

(19) 国家汽车租赁公司是唯一一家有停车场地的公司。由语境知,其他铺路公司因工期太短未接手铺路工作,文中第二段只提到国家汽车租赁公司要修建停车场所,因此只能选D项。

(20) 由第二、三段可知,接受这项工作是需要勇气的courage"勇气"
