解析

试题分析：
小题1:.B 通读全文可知，在面试的等待的时候，他非常紧张。  
小题2:C 从短文的情景看，显然是James自己不知如何是好。   
小题3:C 后暗示题。下文有for nearly an hour和…an hour earlier。   
小题4:A 该文除James外，还谈到了另外一个应聘者(a woman)的情况。James—nervous, the woman—confident,两人形成了对比，所以选A。   
小题5:B由于自己紧张，女应聘者自信，再加上女应聘者“had been in there for nearly an hour”,所以该空用sure符合短文大意。   
小题6:D 上下文串联。他是来参加面试希望得到那份工作，而这位女应聘者似乎已经得到了。
小题7:D 后暗示题，下文中的“…such a lot before the day of the interview. He had imagined himself…”说明James对应聘这份工作很重视，极想得到这份工作，所以选 so much。
小题8:A 因为“极想得到这份工作”，所以“It meant everything to him”. happiness较everything过于具体、片面。   
小题9:C 后暗示题。从下句中“He had imagined himself…”可看出他是在想，而非做梦。   
小题10:B explaining, answering, writing都是表示单项的、具体的动作。performing可以表示应聘面试时总的表现情况，填在空缺处更符合文意。   
小题11:C imagine的搭配(动名词)，想象“被给工作”时的情景。   
小题12:D “But”表示语义上的转折，说明现在的感觉与前一天的想象截然不同，所以feeling后应填一个表示“糟糕”的词。   
小题13:D情急之下，James记不住事先计划好的台词。   
小题14:C 动词辨析。A拥有B教C计划D供应；James记不住事先计划好的台词。
小题15:A 前后暗示题。他几乎要站起来离开，而不是进去。   
小题16:C 三个短语take back(收回)、put off(推迟)、put down(镇压、写下来)都常做及物动词, give up(放弃)既可做及物动词，也可做不及物动词，填在这里，既符合语意，又符合句子结构。   
小题17:B语意题。她对自己的表现很满意。   
小题18:D看到她得意的表情，James更相信她抢了自己的工作，所以恨她
小题19:C “that he had gone home after all”是虚拟语气形式，表达与事实相反的愿望，四个选项中只有 wish才有这种用法。   
小题20:A 由于紧张，双腿颤抖，额头冒汗。要填的为独立主格结构中的现在分词shaking。
点评：这篇短文主要描写James在办公室外面等候应聘面试时的心理活动，通篇以James的紧张、忧虑为主线。本文设空合理，考查全面，对于心理描写十分到位，要根据上下文的语义串联全文。着重词义的辨析，要求根据上下文的语境来判断使用词汇。
