    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。
