答案与解析

这是一篇记叙文。作者的餐馆倒闭了，于是一家人坐着卡车去寻找新的出路，他们在一个国家公园谋得一份差事，日子虽然很苦，但这却增加了家庭的凝聚力。

1．D 根据下文中的“We entered the park”可知，作者在这个国家公园的入口处看到招聘广告，因此选D表示“入口(处)”。

2．C 作者在这里注意到招聘广告，而不是作者“赞助、出版、回答”广告，因此选C。

3．B 这里说的是招聘广告提出的招聘待遇，因此选B表示“不收费的”。 4．A 空前说雇主给这个职位的待遇，空后说公园管理员的职责是在来公园的游客和护林人间建立纽带关系，由此判断选A表示“作为(对……的)回报”。

5．D 根据第四段最后两句可知，作者与雇主约定(made an appointment)第二天去应聘。

6．A 根据空后的“so it took us some time to find an available site”可知，公园里人很多，因此选A表示“拥挤的”。

7．B 作者一家刚吃完晚饭，作者的妻子就看到两只大臭鼬朝他们的饭桌走来，他们就马上爬到桌子上。因此选B表示“立即，马上”。

8．B 结合语境可知，作者一家爬到桌子上是为了等这两只大臭鼬离开。 9．C 那天晚上一切安然无事，于是作者一家相信其他方面也没问题，因此选C表示“自信的”。

10．A 这里说的是雇主告诉作者一家要做的事，因此选A表示“职责，责任”。 11．D 语境表明此处表示转折，上文说作者一家在公园的第一夜和第二天找工作都很顺利，下文说到这里恶劣的环境，因此选D表示转折关系。

12．A 根据下文中的“They were storng...the winds died away”可知选A，表示峡谷里的狂风。

13．A 根据语境判断选A，用shaking 表示“摇动，(使)颤动”。作者一家人在车上躺着，人随着卡车在晃动。

14．C 这里表示在那次狂风之后的几个星期。During 表示“在……期间”。 15．C 作者一家人学会了在卡车上求生存，并且学会了就靠他妻子代课赚的一点儿钱过日子。live on 表示“靠(……钱)生活”。

16．B 结合语境可知，此处表示妻子代课赚到的一点儿钱。

17．C 结合下文中的“I might lose my family”“We had become a family”可知，family 是本文的主题，因此选C表示“家庭”。

18．B 根据文章开头的“our restaurant business failed”可知，这里说的是作者的生意失败后的那段时间。

19．A 上文提到作者一家人就在这个公园里，住在自家的卡车上，下文说他们读书、交谈，因此选A，这些都是卡车上发生的事情。

20．D 作者此时感激所有的磨难，这增强了家庭的凝聚力。
