It was a quarter past nine as Marie hurried into the office building where she was going to work. Her hus moved slowly along through【C1】______morning traffic, making her a few minutes late for her very first job. She decided to start out half an hour earlier the next day.
Once inside the hall she had to stand at the elevators and wait several minutes【C2】______she could get on one to go to the sixth floor. When she finally reached the office marked "King Enterprises", she knocked at the door nervously and waited. There was no answer. She knocked again, hut still there was no reply.【C3】______inside the next office, she could hear the sound of voices, so she opened the door and went in.
Although she was sure it was the same office she had been in two weeks before when she had had the interview with Mr. King, it looked quite different now. In fact, it【C4】______looked like an office at all. The employees were just standing around【C5】______. At the far end of the room, somebody【C6】______have just told a good joke, she thought, because there was a loud hurst of laughter as she came in. For a moment she had thought they were laughing at her.
Then one of the men looked at his watch,【C7】______his hands and said something to the others. Quickly they all went to their desks and, in a matter of seconds, everyone was hard at work. No one paid any attention to Marie. Finally she went up to the man who was sitting at the desk nearest to the door and explained that this was her first day in the office. Hardly【C8】______from his work, he told her to have a seat and wait for Mr. King, who would arrive【C9】______. Then Marie realized that the day’s work in the office began just before Mr. King arrived. Later she found out that he lived in Connecticut and came into Manhattan on the【C10】______train every morning, arriving in the office at 9:35 a. m. , so that his staff knew exactly when to start working.
【C2】
选项
A、since
B、until
C、after
D、before
答案
D
解析
本题前后义的意思为“进入会堂她不得不站在电梯口等好几分钟才能搭乘电梯上到六楼”。本句前半部分发生在后半部分之前,所以需要相应的连词before。故选项D)为答案。
