18．I travel a lot in my work，and what I dislike about my job is eating alone．It always makes me feel lonely to see others laughing and talking．So，room service for several nights was a better choice for me．
After having room service three nights at a hotel in Houston，however，I needed to get out of my room．Although the restaurant opened at 6：30，I arrived at 6：25．The waiter at the front desk made a comment （評論） about my"being there really early"．I explained my dislike of eating alone in restaurants．He then seated me at a lovely table and asked me whether I would mind if he sat down with me for a while．
I was glad!He sat and talked with me about his career goals and the difficulty of being at work on nights，weekends and holidays．He said he didn't have enough time to be with his family．After 15minutes，he saw some customers at the front desk and excused himself．I noticed that before he went to the front desk，he stopped in the kitchen for a moment．
Then another waiter came out of the kitchen and had a wonderful chat with me．Before I left that night，some other waiters，even the cook，had come out of the kitchen and sat with me!
When I asked for my bill about one hour later，all the people who had sat down with me came over in a big group to my table，and presented me with a red rose．And I cried!What had begun as a lonely night ended as a beautiful experience．

分析 我在工作中經(jīng)常出差，我不喜歡我的工作是獨自吃飯，總是讓我覺得自己很孤獨，看到別人在笑和說話的時候，我覺得有幾晚的客房服務是更好的選擇所以，幾個晚上的客房服務對我來說是一個更好的選擇．
在休斯頓的一家酒店有三晚的客房服務后，然而，我需要離開我的房間．雖然六點半餐廳開始，我來到時6：25，前臺服務員評論說我真的很早到那兒．我解釋說我不喜歡一個人在餐廳吃飯，然后他讓我在一張可愛的桌子旁就做，并問我是否介意他和我坐一會兒，我很高興!他坐下來跟我談他的職業(yè)目標以及在晚上，周末和假期的工作困難，他說他沒有足夠的時間和家人在一起，15分鐘后，他在前臺看到一些顧客，然后借故離開了．我注意到，在他走到前臺之前，他在廚房里停了一會兒．
然后另一個服務生從廚房出來，和我聊得很愉快，在那晚我離開前，其他的服務員，甚至廚師，都從廚房出來，和我坐在一起!
一小時后，當我要我的賬單時，所有和我一起坐下來的人都來到我的桌子旁，向我展示了一支紅色的玫瑰，我哭了!開始時的一個寂寞的夜晚以一個美麗的體驗而結束了．
解答 答案DCBC
詳解：
28．答案D．考查推理判斷題，從第一段It always make s me feel lonely to see others laughing and talking．So，room service for several nights was a better choice for me．可以看出．
29．答案C．事實細節(jié)題，從第二段The waiter at the front desk made a comment（評論） about my"being there really early"可以看出作者在餐廳開門前就到了，因此服務員感到意外．
30．答案B．推理判斷題，從第三段He sat and talked with me about his career goals and the difficulty of being at work on nights，weekends and holidays．He said he hadn't enough time to be with his family可以看出服務員工作很忙，難以得到足夠時間陪伴家人．
31．答案C．推理判斷題，聯(lián)系上下文以及最后一句 What had begun as a lonely night ended as a beautiful experience可以看出正是因為餐廳里的這些陌生人（服務員、廚師）的善意陪伴，讓作者從最開始的孤獨最終成為美麗的經(jīng)歷．
點評 推理判斷題
既要求學生透過文章表面文字信息推測文章隱含意思，又要求學生對作者的態(tài)度、意圖及文章細節(jié)的發(fā)展作正確的推理判斷，力求從作者的角度去考慮，不要固守自己的看法或觀點．其次，對于暗含在文章中的人物的行為動機、事件中的因果關系及作者未言明的傾向、意圖、態(tài)度、觀點等要進行合乎邏輯的判斷、推理、分析，進一步增強理解能力，抓住材料實質性的東西．
