Unfortunately, this happened during the morning rush hour. Many people who were going to work were 37 to go home. Some battled to 38 a taxi or to get on a bus. Still others faced the 39 bravely, walking miles to get to work.
I 40 to be one of people on the way to work that morning. I went from subway line to subway line only to find that most 41 had stopped.

解析試題分析：本文是一篇以敘文，作者在記敘之后發表了自己的感悟。文章講述了作者遭遇一次暴風雨而歷經艱辛堅持去上班，就在作者因此而倍感疲憊和煩躁時，卻收到了經理的一封電子信件。信中經理簡短的幾句對不顧風雨堅持來上班的人們表示了感激，這使得作者感到一天來的疲憊與煩惱一掃而光，并由此感悟到幾句簡短的話語可以使人的精神煥然一新。
【小題1】B。考查動詞辨析。根據語境，因為是rainstorm(暴風雨)，所以街道被雨水淹沒。選項A為"中斷"；C為"沉沒"；D為"猛撞，崩潰"，均不合語境。句中cause sth. to be done使得…被…
【小題2】A。考查動詞辨析。因為大雨，許多人被迫回家，不能夠去上班。注意被句為被動形式，從意義上可以排除選項B、C、D。
【小題3】C。考查動詞辨析。根據語境：有些人能夠叫到出租車(call a taxi)。order為"訂購，預定"。不合語境；search a taxi表示"搜查出租車（在車上找東西）"，也不正確。
【小題4】C。考查名詞辨析。聯系上文，根據文章第一句中rainstorm一詞可知答案。語境：有些人能夠叫到出租車，還有寫人勇敢面對暴風雨，步行去上班。當時正在下雨，所以用face the storm bravely. C選項climate為"氣候（指某一地區長期的天氣狀況）"；scenery為"景色"；burden為"負擔"，均不合文意。
【小題5】D。考查動詞辨析。聯系下文可知作者"碰巧也是"去上班中的一個，happen to be表示"碰巧是…"。而used to be表示"過去常常（現在已經不再那樣了）"；promise to表示"允諾去做…";deserve to do表示"理應做，值得做"，均不符合文意與語境。
【小題6】D。考查名詞辨析。根據語境：作者去了地鐵，卻發現大多數地鐵都已經停止運行服務了，所以用service,表示"（地鐵的運行）服務"。而practice表示"練習；慣例做法"；routine表示"常規；例行公事"；process表示"過程；程序"，均不符合語境。
【小題7】B。考查介詞辨析。根據語境：make one's way through the crowds of people在人群中擠出一條路。make one's way to:表示"通往…"；make one's way for:表示"讓步于…"，均不合文意。
【小題8】A。考查動詞辨析。operate表示"操作，運轉，運行"。作者最終發現一條地鐵還在運行。cycle 表示"循環，周期"；turn表示"變得；轉彎"；rush表示"沖進，匆促"，均不符合語境。
【小題9】D。考查動詞辨析。根據語意：那么多人在等待上車…；board the subway表示"木版；登車，上車（船、飛機等）"。Check表示"核查；登記"；carry"攜帶，搬運"；find"找到"，均不合文意。
【小題10】D。考查名詞辨析。根據語境："我"甚至無法踏上站臺的臺階。Platform"站臺"。其它不合語境。
【小題11】C。考查動詞辨析。根據語境：最終過了好長時間，地鐵終于停在了我的那一站。聯系下文Then I had to …一句可知作者先坐了一程地鐵，然后又在雨中步行了幾個街區。pause表示"暫停，中止"；cross表示"交叉；越過"；park表示"停車"，均不合文意。
【小題12】A。考查形容詞辨析。be wet through:渾身濕透了。（由于作者冒雨而行，在到達辦公室時已經濕透了。）根據文章下一句：My co-workers and I spent most of the day drying off.作者與同事一起花費了大半天的時間才晾干也可知。其它不合語境。
【小題13】B。考查動詞辨析。要認真體會作者的情感、態度：此時由于作者渾身濕透，所以到辦公室時已經是疲憊不堪了，所以此時作者的情緒應該是"沮喪的，泄氣的"。這也可以根據下文形成對比：作者收到經理的E-mail而變的愉快起來。ashamed"慚愧的"；surprised"吃驚的"；puzzled "迷惑"，均不符合語境。
【小題14】B。考查連詞。when表示"就在這時"。其它不合語境。
【小題15】D。考查副詞辨析。eventually表示"最終"；hardly 表示"幾乎不"；casually 表示"偶然地，隨意地"absolutely 表示"完全地"。根據文意：我很感謝你們所有的不顧艱辛最終來上班的人。
【小題16】A。考查名詞辨析。句意為：…，當員工們表明他們對于工作的投入時…。devotion表示"投入"；donation 表示"捐贈"；concern表示"關心"；reaction表示"反應"。(show one's concern for sth表示"對…關心")
【小題17】C。考查形容詞辨析。聯系文章，經理的這封e-mail并不長，所以用brief表示"簡短的"。accurate 表示"精確的"；urgent表示"急切的"；humorous表示"幽默的"。
【小題18】B。考查名詞辨析。句意為：這封e-mail讓我知道即使是簡短的幾句感激的話也會有很大的影響。appreciation表示"欣賞，感激"；promise 表示"諾言"；advice表示"建議"；guidance表示"指導，引導"。
【小題19】A。考查名詞辨析。句意為：暴雨和交通阻塞帶來的麻煩使得"我"疲憊、煩亂。signals 表示"信號"；rules表示"規則"；signs表示"符號，跡象"，均不正確。
【小題20】D。考查動詞辨析。句意為：經理Garth的話立即使得我提起精神來，讓我又面帶微笑。Refreshed表示"使...生氣蓬勃,提起精神,恢復精神"；correct表示"糾正"；support表示"支持"；amaze 表示"使吃驚"，均不符合語境。

Anne Sewell Young was born on January 2, 1871, in the United States. She earned her bachelor’s degree in 1892 from Carleton College in Minnesota, where she also completed a master’s degree in 1897. She went on to earn a PhD (something very unusual for women in those days) from Columbia University in 1906.

In 1903, a library and a lecture room were added to the observatory building, and in 1907 astronomy was made a course in which one could major at the college, with Yong serving as Department Chair. She retired in 1936, and Alice Farnsworth succeeded her.
