Ⅰ. A. 1. speech 2. Drops 3. wet 4. sweetest 5. newborn 6. brush 7. regretted 8. brighter

【分析】
首先要通读全文，理解文章大意：这是讲述擦窗工人Robert在最后一天工作时，和同事分享自己作为“蜘蛛人”（高空擦窗工）的工作回忆，以及他对这份工作的看法。接下来逐个填空时，要结合上下文语境、固定短语搭配、词性和词义辨析来思考：
1. 第一空，根据“last day”“to his workmates”，可知是给同事做演讲，固定搭配give a speech；
2. 第二空，描述汗水掉进眼睛，“drops of sweat”是固定表达，指“汗珠”；
3. 第三空，汗水进入眼睛，自然全身会湿透，所以填表示“湿的”形容词；
4. 第四空，前面有定冠词the，结合“he had ever tasted”，要用形容词最高级，形容西瓜的味道，选最甜的；
5. 第五空，根据“grow bit by bit”，可知是新生婴儿，用newborn修饰baby；
6. 第六空，结合擦窗工人的工作场景，猫可能试图抓他的刷子，符合语境；
7. 第七空，后文提到工作有意义、遇到很多好人，所以他从不后悔这份工作，用regretted（过去式，呼应文章时态）；
8. 第八空，后文说工作也让他们闪耀，所以城市因为他们的工作变得更亮，用比较级brighter。
【解析】
1. 根据语境“On his last day as a window cleaner, Robert gave a ______ to his workmates.”，固定搭配give a speech表示“做演讲”，故填speech。
2. “______ of sweat fell in his eyes”，drops of sweat是固定短语，意为“汗珠”，句首单词首字母大写，故填Drops。
3. 汗水掉进眼睛里，Robert全身会湿透，wet意为“湿的”，符合语境，故填wet。
4. “the ______ watermelon he had ever tasted”，定冠词the后接形容词最高级，sweetest是sweet的最高级，意为“最甜的”，符合“他尝过的最甜的西瓜”这一语境，故填sweetest。
5. “watched a ______ baby grow bit by bit”，newborn意为“新生的”，新生婴儿会慢慢长大，符合语境，故填newborn。
6. 结合擦窗工人的工作场景，猫可能试图抓他的刷子，brush意为“刷子”，符合语境，故填brush。
7. “Robert never ______ his job because he met many kind people and found it meaningful.”，regretted是regret的过去式，意为“后悔”，因为工作有意义，所以他从不后悔，呼应文章过去时态，故填regretted。
8. “The city shines ______ because of their work”，brighter是bright的比较级，意为“更明亮地”，与后文“the job makes them shine too”呼应，体现城市因他们的工作变得更闪耀，故填brighter。

B. 1. were filled with 2. am reminded of 3. passed through the glass 4. is not, considered 5. a sense of achievement

【分析】
这是一组英语填空题，解题时需结合语境、固定短语搭配以及语态、时态来思考：
1. 第一题要表达“充满了”，首先想到固定短语be filled with，主语“My past thirty years”是复数概念，且描述过去的经历，所以用一般过去时的were。
2. 第二题“让我想起”，这里主语I是动作的承受者，要用被动语态，“remind sb. of”的被动形式是sb. be reminded of，主语是I，一般现在时用am。
3. 第三题“穿透玻璃”对应短语pass through the glass，结合语境用一般过去时，pass的过去式是passed。
4. 第四题“并不总被认为”是被动语态，主语Window cleaning是单数，所以用is not considered。
5. 第五题“成就感”是固定表达a sense of achievement，直接填写即可。
【解析】
1. 考查固定短语和一般过去时：“充满”用固定短语be filled with，主语“My past thirty years”为复数，且描述过去的时光，be动词用were，故填were filled with。
2. 考查被动语态：“让某人想起”的结构是remind sb. of，此处主语I是动作的承受者，需用被动语态，一般现在时的被动语态为am/is/are + 过去分词，主语为I，故填am reminded of。
3. 考查动词短语和一般过去时：“穿透玻璃”译为pass through the glass，结合语境用一般过去时，pass的过去式是passed，故填passed through the glass。
4. 考查被动语态的否定形式：“被认为”用be considered，主语Window cleaning是单数，“并不总”表示否定，故填is not, considered。
5. 考查固定名词短语：“成就感”的固定表达是a sense of achievement，直接填入即可。
【答案】
1. were filled with 2. am reminded of 3. passed through the glass 4. is not, considered 5. a sense of achievement
【知识点】

Ⅱ. Read and answer the questions.
An unsung hero
Need a break between classes or just a quick pick-me-up in the morning? The College Café has just that, and more. This café not only offers drinks, it also serves up smiles.
Catherine Murphy, a café worker, makes sure that each customer gets what they order. After finishing an order, she calls out the name on the cup. As the customer grabs the drink from her hand, she smiles and says, "Hello! How is your day?" Even when the line is getting longer, she never rushes her heart-to-heart talks.
Murphy gets up at a quarter to five and drives thirty minutes every day to get to work on time. Sometimes she arrives even earlier. "I just want to serve the students earlier. I know they need it in the morning."
One thing Murphy may not know is that her smile is contagious(有感染力的) and can make a difference to a student having a much better day. Joanna Wright, a senior student, goes to the café at least six days a week. It starts her day off well and gets her ready for class. "Catherine always has a huge smile on her face, and it always puts me in a cheerful mood," Wright said.
"I enjoy working in the café," Murphy said. She has served here for 17 years and can't imagine working anywhere else. She has decided to stay and keep doing what she loves.
()1. Why does Murphy arrive at work early sometimes?
A. She lives very far from the café.
B. She wants to practise making coffee.
C. She wants to serve the students earlier.
D. She needs to clean the café before opening.
()2. Why does the writer mention Joanna Wright in Paragraph 4?
A. To suggest that Joanna is a close friend of Murphy.
B. To show that the café is very popular among students.
C. To give an example of how Murphy influences students.
D. To compare the different reasons why people visit the café.
()3. What does the title "An unsung hero" mean?
A. A person who has a really beautiful voice.
B. A person who acts bravely in dangerous situations.
C. A person who is famous and celebrated by everyone.
D. A person who receives little attention but does good work.

Ⅱ. 1. C 2. C 3. D

【分析】
1. 第1题：首先定位到文章第三段，找到Murphy关于早到工作的表述，她明确说明早到的原因是想更早为学生服务，对比选项即可得出答案。
2. 第2题：第四段开头提到Murphy的微笑有感染力，能改变学生的一天，随后引入Joanna Wright的例子，她每天去咖啡馆，Murphy的微笑让她心情愉悦，这是用具体实例来证明Murphy对学生的积极影响，据此判断选项。
3. 第3题：先理解“unsung hero”的字面意思，“unsung”表示未被赞颂的、默默无闻的，结合文章内容，Murphy在咖啡馆工作17年，用心服务学生，带来温暖却没有得到广泛的关注和赞颂，对应选项中默默做好事却少有人关注的描述。
【解析】
1. 第1题：根据文章第三段中Murphy所说的“I just want to serve the students earlier. I know they need it in the morning.”，可知她早到是为了更早为学生服务，对应选项C。
2. 第2题：第四段先提出Murphy的微笑有感染力，能让学生拥有更好的一天，接着通过Joanna Wright的例子，说明Murphy的微笑让她心情愉悦，开启美好的一天，这是举例说明Murphy对学生的积极影响，所以选C。
3. 第3题：“An unsung hero”意为“无名英雄”，即默默付出、做着有益的事却很少受到关注的人。文章中Murphy在咖啡馆工作17年，用心服务学生，传递温暖，但并没有被广泛赞颂，符合这一含义，对应选项D。
