答案与解析　

本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章，讲述了一个家庭生意失败之后重新开始的故事。

作者通过这个故事阐明一个道理：

我们在追寻事业成功的时候，可能会失去家庭，因此我们要学会兼顾事业和家庭。

1．D　根据后文“Weenteredthepark”可知，应该是在公园门口（entrance），故选D项。

2．C　由前文“Whenourrestaurantbusinessfailed\”和“hopingtohavea‘freshstart’\”可知，作者是在寻找工作，注意到一个招聘广告，故选noticed。

3．B　后文提到“arentfreeplace”，可知campsite是免费的，故选free。

4．A　根据填空处前文可知要得到这个工作，需要做公园主持人来作为回报，故选inreturn。

inreturn意为“作为回报\”；inturn意为“反过来，反之\”；inshort意为“总而言之”；intime意为“及时”。

5．D　前文提到作者看到招聘广告，应是明天预约，短语makeanappointment意为“应聘\”，符合语境。

6．A　根据后文“soittookussometimetofindanavailablesite，”可知人多（crowded），很难找住的位置，所以选A项。

quiet意为“安静的”；ideal意为“理想的”；dangerous意为“危险的”。

7．B　文中提到“twolargeskunks”，所以马上躲避。

故选immediately，意为“立刻，马上”。

8．B　由上文立即躲避臭鼬可知很希望它们尽快离开（leave），故选B项。

9．C　由前文“Havingsurvivedthatnight\”，可知他们对于后面的时间感到自信（confident），故选C项。

10．A　由前文“Imadeanappointmentforthefollowingday”和“Thenextdaywemetwiththepeoplewhoranthepark”可知他们去应聘了，管理人员告诉他们职位的职责（responsibilities），故选A项。

11．D　由前文“everythingelsewouldbeallright”和后文“rockingourlittlecampingtruckviolently...untilthewindsdiedaway”可知，前后情况是一种相反的场景，故选转折连词however。

12．A　由后文“Theywerestrongandcold,rockingourlittlecampingtruckviolently...untilthewindsdiedaway.”可知选A项。

13．A　由前文“rockingourlittlecampingtruckviolently\”可知卡车（truck）在晃动（shake），故选A项。

14．C　根据上下文可知，应该是指后续的几周时间（during），故选C项。

15．C　根据上文可知，生意失败，所以作者的妻子要靠教书来挣钱。

liveon意为“靠……生活，以……为食\”。

故选C项。

handout意为“分发，用完，耗尽”；giveaway意为“捐赠，泄露”；putaside意为“存储，留出，搁置”。

16．B　根据上文可知，生意失败，所以作者的妻子要靠教书来挣钱（earn），故选B项。

17．C　根据后文“Imightlosemyfamilyaswell\”和“buildingasuccessfulbusinessandthenlosingit”可看出作者留给家的时间很少，故选family。

18．B　根据第一段第一句中“Whenourrestaurantbusinessfailed”可知选B项。

19．A　由第五段中的“ourlittlecampingtruck”可知填truck，tiny是small的同义替换。

故选A项。

20．D　由前文可知作者找到工作和后文“wehadbecomeafamily”可知，作者工作、家庭都有收获，所以作者感激（thankful）曾有的艰辛，故选D项。
