A Special Journey
I am often asked to describe the experience of______【51】a child with a disability—to try to help people who have not shared that unique experience to understand it, to imagine how it would feel. It’s like this______【52】you’re going to have a baby, it’s like planning a fabulous vacation trip to Italy.
You buy a bunch of guide books and make your wonderful______【53】. The Coliseum, The Michelangelo, David, The gondolas in Venice. You may learn some handy phrases in Italian. It’s all very exciting.
After months of eager anticipation, the day finally ______【54】. You pack your bags and ______【55】you go. Several hours later, the plane lands. The ______【56】comes in and says, "Welcome to Holland. "
"Holland?!?" you say. "What do you mean by Holland?? I signed up for Italy! I’m supposed to be in Italy. All my life I’ve dreamed______【57】going to Italy. "
But there’s been a change in the flight plan. They’ve landed in Holland and there you must stay.
The important thing is that they haven’t taken you to a horrible, disgusting, filthy place, full of pestilence, ______【58】and disease. It’s just a______【59】place.
______【60】you must go out and buy new guide books. And you must learn a whole new language. And you will meet a whole new group of people you would never have met.
It’s just a different place. It’s slower-paced than Italy, less flashy than Italy. But after you’ve been there for a while and you catch your breath, you look around. . . and you begin to______【61】that Holland has windmills. . . and Holland has tulips. Holland even has Rembrandts.
But everyone you know is busy coming and going______【62】Italy. . . and they’re all bragging about______【63】a wonderful time they had there. And for the rest of your life, you will say "Yes, that’s where I was______【64】to go. That’s what I had planned. "
But if you spend your life______【65】the fact that you didn’t get to Italy, you may never be free to enjoy the very special, the very lovely things about Holland.
选项
A、waiter
B、stewardess
C、waitress
D、servant
答案
B
解析
本题考查名词近义词辨析。选择B stewardess空中小姐。本句意思是:“空中小姐走进来说:‘欢迎来到荷兰’。”A waiter和C waitress一般指饭店、旅馆、餐室里的男、女侍者。D servant仆人、佣人,指为工资、膳宿在别人家干活的人。因为作者前文说明其乘坐飞机旅行,所以这里选择选项B是最适合的。
