I arrived in the United States on February 6,1966, but I remember my first day here very clearly. My friend was waiting for me when my plane landed at Kennedy Airport at three o’clock in the afternoon. The weather was very cold and it was snowing, but I was too excited to mind. From the airport, my friend and I took a taxi to my hotel. On the way, I saw the skyline of Manhattan for the first time and I stared in astonishment at the famous skyscrapers and their man-made beauty. My friend helped me unpack at the hotel and them left me because he had to go back to work. He promised to return the next day.
Shortly after my friend had left, I went to a restaurant near the hotel to get something to eat. Because I couldn’t speak a word of English, I couldn’t tell the waiter what I wanted. I was very upset and started to make some gestures, but the waiter didn’t understand me. Finally, I ordered the same thing the man at the next table was eating. After dinner, I started to walk along Broadway until I came to Times Square with its movie theatres, neon lights, and huge crowds of people. I did not feel tired, so I continued to walk around the city. I wanted to see everything on my first day. I knew it was impossible, but I wanted to try.
When I returned to the hotel, I was exhausted, but I couldn’t sleep because I kept hearing the fire and police sirens during the night. I lay awake and thought about New York. It was a very big and interesting city with many tall buildings and big cars, and full of noise and busy people. I also decided right then that I had to learn to speak English.

答案是：DDCDD

第一题问的是在去宾馆的路上作者在做什么。
a.一直都很沉默。b.一直在和朋友谈话c.给他的朋友看他带来的东西d.饶有兴趣的看窗外的景物。文中第一段的第五句On the way, I saw the skyline of Manhattan for the first time and I stared in astonishment at the famous skyscrapers and their man-made beauty. （在路上，我第一次看到曼哈顿的轮廓，我惊奇的凝视着著名的摩天大楼和他们人造的美丽的东西），可以看出作者一直在饶有兴致的看着窗外的景物。在这一题中有两个关键词（短语）：on the way和astonishment（惊奇，惊讶）。astonishment和第四个选项中的interest是相互呼应的，从这两个关键词就可以得出第一题选d。

第二题问的是他没有得到他真正想要的是因为……？
a.他只做了一些手势b.他没有点餐c.服务生不愿意提供服务d.这个选项是不是打错了，直译出来时说“他没能让他自己明白”，但是我觉得题目可能是要表达“他没能让服务生明白他的意思”。答案应该从第二段里找。第二段的第二、三句Because I couldn’t speak a word of English, I couldn’t tell the waiter what I wanted. I was very upset and started to make some gestures, but the waiter didn’t understand me. （因为我不会说英语，所以我没能告诉服务生我想要什么。我非常郁闷并且开始做一些手势，但是服务生却不能理解我的意思）从中可以看出，作者没能得到他真正想要的是因为服务生没有明白他的意思，所以答案是d。遇到问原因的题目就要注意文中的“because”。

第三题问的是这名服务生怎么样了。
a.知道他会点什么b.最终明白他的意思了c.给他提供了和旁边那桌人一样的东西d.通过他（作者）的手势明白了他要点什么东西。很显然第二段中的第四句话就是答案Finally, I ordered the same thing the man at the next table was eating. （最后，我点了和隔壁桌同样的食物。）因为他点了和隔壁桌同样的食物，所以服务生就给了他和隔壁桌同样的食物。所以本题应选c。

第四题问的是吃晚饭后，他…………
a.马上走回宾馆了b.去看电影了c.在百老汇买东西了d.在这个城市中进行了徒步旅行。第二段的第五、六句话说After dinner, I started to walk along Broadway until I came to Times Square with its movie theatres, neon lights, and huge crowds of people. I did not feel tired, so I continued to walk around the city.（吃晚饭后，我开始沿着百老汇散步，一直到泰晤士广场，还有它的电影院、霓虹灯和一大群人。我一点也不觉得累，所以就继续在这座城市里散步。）文中的walk around（四处走走）和d选项中的had a walking tour是对应的。文中及题干里的After dinner，是本题的关键词，找到这个词就找到了答案。

第五题问的是这天晚上他睡不着是因为……
a.他不知道明天做什么b.他一点也不累c.他正在回想他的雄伟的城市d.他一直在听大火和警察的笛声。最后一段的第一句就说出了答案When I returned to the hotel, I was exhausted, but I couldn’t sleep because I kept hearing the fire and police sirens during the night. （当我回到宾馆时，我非常疲劳，但是我却睡不着，因为我一整晚都听到火和警察的笛声。）本句中的exhausted的意思是“疲惫的”，所以b选项是错的。a选项在文中都没有提及，所以要排除。c选项在文中出现了但却不是他睡不着的原因。他是在睡不着之后才回想纽约的。所以本题的答案就是d。
