解析
36. B。work out 意为“算出”,try out意为“测试”,stay out意为“不在家”,均不符文意,check out表示在旅馆结账退房。 37. D。enjoy意为“享受”,向这位即将离去的客人询问她是怎样享受她的假期的。 38. B。but表示转折,她在这里度过了非常愉快的假期,只是因丢了胶卷而感到有些难过。 39. C。由下文中的the loss of the pictures可知答案。 40. A。develop意为“冲洗(胶卷)”,胶卷还未冲洗就丢了。 41. D。由上文中的heartbroken可知这里是说她那时非常伤心。 42. C。由as引导的原因状语从句,表示原因,她伤心是因为她非常珍视这份记忆。 43. A。cover意为“包含”,迪斯尼的服务中没有包含处理在公园丢失照片的条例。 44. B。虽然没有处理丢失照片的服务条例,但迪斯尼的工作人员却通过别的方式解决了问题,fortunately意为“幸运地”,表示转折。 45. A。正是工作人员对迪斯尼服务宗旨的了解,让她继续为客人服务,想办法解决问题。 46. B。显而易见,迪斯尼服务的对象是度假的客人,故选B。 47. A。由下文可知工作人员是要客人留下没有用过的胶卷。 48. D。由下文可知是工作人员将照片以邮寄的方式寄给了她,packet意为“包裹”。 49. B。personally意为“个人地”,由每个表演者自己签上名字。 50. B。由下文中的take可知这里是pictures,take pictures意为“照相”。 51. C。由after work可知她是利用下班后自己的时间来照这些相片的。 52. A。此处story意为“(真实的)故事”,客人写信给我们,我也就知道了这个故事。 53. C。由后句中出现的部分倒装可知此处填否定副词,从而排除A、B、D三项。 54. D。由上文可知这里是指服务,优秀的服务并不仅来自于服务条例。 55. A。care意为“关心”,不仅要了解服务条例,更重要的是具有服务意识,为客人着想,这才是真正服务于客人。 |
