一、完形填空(每小题 1 分，满分 15 分)
When I first moved to New Orleans, Louisiana in the fourth grade, I realized that I was stepping into a completely different world. What impressed me deeply was the friendliness of the people there.
“What can I get for you, honey?” a 1 asked me on my first day in Louisiana. I was 2. This woman did not even know me, but she 3 me like family. She smiled down at me as I 4 the food on the menu. “Is the pasta (意大利面) good?” I asked her.
“Baby, it's not my 5,” she answered with a wide smile, “6 I'm more of a sushi (寿司) girl, you know!”
I looked at my family in great surprise. What should I 7 to that? I had no idea what sushi was, nor could I believe her. But I knew this woman had just stopped me from ordering something. She had given me her 8 opinion, as if we were best friends.
I recently went to the DMV to update my driver's license. As I was 9 in the quiet room with at least twenty other people, a woman walked in. “Good morning!” She announced to the room.
“Good morning,” the whole room said back at once.
The woman took her seat, and waited with everyone else for her number to be 10 as I looked around the room, surprised. 11, everyone was comfortable with each other. We were all friends and neighbours.
Even after eight years of living in Louisiana, it still makes me smile to know that I am not 12 here. Someone in this place is always 13 to say hello or to lend a hand when it is 14. It is a feeling of family and 15 that I have never been able to find anywhere else. It's a unique place.

【分析】
做完形填空首先要通读全文，把握文章核心主旨：本文作者讲述自己在路易斯安那州新奥尔良的生活经历，处处感受到当地人的友善，体验到如同家人般的温暖氛围。解题时逐空结合上下文语境、人物身份、逻辑关系、固定搭配逐一排除不符合语境的选项，选出最贴合文意的答案：1. 第一空根据“询问要什么食物”+后文明确提到是女性，可判断是女服务员；2. 陌生人对自己像家人一样亲切，作者的第一反应是惊讶；3. 对应“像家人一样”的动作是对待；4. 在餐厅选餐时的动作是指向菜单上的菜品；5. 后文说自己更爱寿司，说明意大利面不是她的最爱；6. 前后句是转折逻辑；7. 作者不知道该回应对方什么内容，强调说的具体内容用say；8. 对方毫无保留给出的是真实的个人看法；9. 车管所办事大家都是坐着等候；10. 办事叫号的固定搭配是号码被呼叫；11. 作者环顾四周的时候突然意识到所有人相处都很自在；12. 当地人都很友善，作者不会觉得孤单；13. 固定搭配be willing to do表示乐意做某事，这里指当地人总乐意打招呼；14. 伸出援手是在别人有需要的时候；15. 对应前文的家人般的友善，对应的感受是爱。

5. 后文提到“我更爱寿司”，说明她回答意大利面不是自己的最爱，favourite（最爱）符合语境，选B。
6. 前半句说意大利面不是自己最爱，后半句说自己更爱吃寿司，是转折逻辑，用but，选D。

8. 她毫无保留分享自己的饮食偏好，给出的是真实的看法，true（真实的）符合语境，选A。
9. 后文提到所有人都坐着等叫号，说明作者当时是和其他二十多个人一起坐在安静的房间里，sitting符合语境，选B。

14. 句意为“当有人需要帮助的时候，总有人伸出援手”，needed符合语境，选C。
