The next morning, the elderly man said to the clerk, “You are the kind of manager 5 should be the boss of the best hotel in the United States.

It’s impossible to know the future. We can guess, but no one has actual knowledge of what’s going to happen down the road.
But if you’re someone who trusts 1 feelings, you’re more likely to accurately predict future events than people who don’t trust their feelings 2 much.
That’s the conclusion of a recent study done by researchers at Columbia Business School. Through 3 series of eight studies they found that subjects who had a high amount of trust in their feelings were generally better able to predict things like the outcomes of presidential elections, football games, the winner of American Idol, and even the weather.
How is this possible?
The best explanation 4 (know) as the “privileged window” hypothesis. The key is that 5 we rely on feelings to make a prediction, we’re really summarizing and calling on everything we know about the subject in question. It’s similar to 6 journalist Malcolm Gladwell wrote about in his best selling book “Blink” 7 the more we know about something the greater our ability to make snap judgments and predictions 8 thinking too much.
Unlike Gladwell’s theory, though, the recent study is less about snap decisions and more about consciously
9 (decide) to rely on feelings to make 10 (predict). Do that, and you’re more likely to be able to sense what may happen in the future.

答案與解析
(1)一位酒店職員熱情地為一對(duì)夫婦解決住宿問(wèn)題,并最終成為酒店的老板。
1. with 這是“with+賓語(yǔ)+賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)”結(jié)構(gòu),表示“臉帶笑容”。
2. are taken/ have been taken 該句引用職員當(dāng)時(shí)說(shuō)的話,故使用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)或現(xiàn)在完成時(shí),不能使用過(guò)去式。句意:所有的房間已經(jīng)住滿了。
3. but 此處前后是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。
4. grateful 作表語(yǔ)用形容詞grateful,表示“感激的”。
5. who/that 引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句并在從句中作主語(yǔ)。
6. one 指代前文提及的hotel。該句意思是:或許某一天我將會(huì)為你建一個(gè)這樣的酒店。
7. stormy 作定語(yǔ)修飾night,用形容詞stormy(有暴風(fēng)雨的)。
8. asking 因ask與句子邏輯主語(yǔ)it(指the letter)是主動(dòng)關(guān)系,用現(xiàn)在分詞形式。
9. himself 當(dāng)主語(yǔ)和賓語(yǔ)為同一個(gè)人時(shí),使用反身代詞。
10. it 固定句型it is/was certain that...,it在此作形式主語(yǔ)。
(2)作者坐地鐵時(shí),一位年輕人給她讓座;后來(lái)這位年輕人見(jiàn)另一位新到這個(gè)城市的年輕人不知道如何換乘,于是提出跟他一塊下車(chē),給他帶路。作者覺(jué)得這位年輕人是“地鐵好人”。
1. attending 表示“花時(shí)間做某事”,為spend time doing sth.
2. nearest 因作者錯(cuò)過(guò)了通往地鐵站的公共汽車(chē),所以步行一英里到達(dá)“最近的”地鐵站。表示“最近的”,用形容詞最高級(jí)形式。
3. him 指代給作者讓座的年輕人。作及物動(dòng)詞thank的賓語(yǔ),用人稱代詞賓格。
4. another 因前文提到了a young man,而根據(jù)下文可知,此時(shí)作者談到的年輕人并非前文提到的那個(gè)年輕人,而是“另外一個(gè)年輕人”,表示“另個(gè)一個(gè)”,用不定代詞another。
5. clearly在句中作狀語(yǔ),用副詞;形容詞clear加后綴-ly構(gòu)成副詞clearly。
6. who 因先行詞為passenger,指人,所以用who引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句,并在從句中作主語(yǔ)。因?yàn)槭欠窍拗菩远ㄕZ(yǔ)從句,所以不用that。
7. If 這是一個(gè)含有虛擬語(yǔ)氣的條件狀語(yǔ)從句,表示與過(guò)去事實(shí)相反的假設(shè)。句意:如果這個(gè)新來(lái)者在那個(gè)地鐵站下來(lái),他將迷路徘徊幾個(gè)小時(shí)。
8. that 去掉from the newcomer’s lack of English,可以看出從句位于及物動(dòng)詞realize后,是一個(gè)賓語(yǔ)從句。因這個(gè)從句成分和意義都完整,所以用that引導(dǎo)從句。that在從句中不充當(dāng)成分,也沒(méi)有意義,只起引導(dǎo)從句的作用。
9. had offered 因“offered me his seat”發(fā)生在“offered to help him”之前,為“過(guò)去的過(guò)去”,所以用過(guò)去完成時(shí)。
10. with 意為“和某人一起”。
(3)在前往搶救一個(gè)生命垂危的男孩途中,外科醫(yī)生Dr. Eyck被人劫車(chē),當(dāng)他到達(dá)醫(yī)院時(shí),男孩已經(jīng)死亡。讓人驚訝的是,劫車(chē)者竟然是男孩的父親。

3. It 指距離。
4. heavily 修飾其前的動(dòng)詞snow,作狀語(yǔ),用副詞heavily。
5. was stopped 主語(yǔ)與謂語(yǔ)為被動(dòng)關(guān)系,動(dòng)作發(fā)生在過(guò)去,故用一般過(guò)去時(shí)的被動(dòng)式。
6. leaving 作伴隨狀語(yǔ),且the man與leave在邏輯上是主動(dòng)關(guān)系,故用現(xiàn)在分詞leaving。
7. when 引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句。
8. an 表示數(shù)量“一”,用不定冠詞,又因hour為元音開(kāi)頭,故用an。an hour before指“一小時(shí)前”。
9. with 這是with的復(fù)合結(jié)構(gòu),在句中作狀語(yǔ),表示伴隨情況。
10. who 引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句并在定語(yǔ)從句中作主語(yǔ),指人。
(4)排隊(duì)候車(chē)是英國(guó)的行為規(guī)則,不按其行為規(guī)則只會(huì)帶來(lái)尷尬。故事說(shuō)明如果你想要確保旅途愉快,僅僅學(xué)會(huì)該國(guó)的語(yǔ)言是遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)不夠的,還要盡可能多地了解該國(guó)的風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣。
1. attached 表示被動(dòng)意義且己發(fā)生的動(dòng)作,用過(guò)去分詞作后置定語(yǔ),修飾名詞sign。.
2. they 指代three foreign gentlemen。
3. behind 句意為:當(dāng)他們正準(zhǔn)備上車(chē)的時(shí)候,忽然身后傳來(lái)抗議聲。

5. what 賓語(yǔ)從句中缺賓語(yǔ),應(yīng)用連接代詞what。
6. had told 在他們上車(chē)前,沒(méi)有人告訴他們關(guān)于英國(guó)排隊(duì)上車(chē)的習(xí)俗,表示“過(guò)去的過(guò)去”,故用過(guò)去完成時(shí)。
7. who 在句子中person為定語(yǔ)從句的先行詞,在句中作主語(yǔ),故用who。
8. If 引導(dǎo)條件狀語(yǔ)從句,表示一種假設(shè)。

2. as 因as much表示“與……一樣多”。句意:如果你是相信自己感覺(jué)的那類人,你很可能比那些不那么相信自己感覺(jué)的人更能準(zhǔn)確預(yù)測(cè)未來(lái)。
3. a 考查冠詞。a series of意思為“一系列……”。

5. when 引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句。句意為:當(dāng)我們依賴感覺(jué)作出決定的時(shí)候。
6. what 引導(dǎo)賓語(yǔ)從句并在從句中作賓語(yǔ),用連接代詞what。
7. that 這個(gè)從句是前面整個(gè)賓語(yǔ)從句的同位語(yǔ)。
8. without 考查介詞。without thinking too much意為“不假思索地”。
