【解析】

这篇短文中作者讲述了她去参加面试的一次经历，在那里她遇到了一个女孩，虽然她的学历不高，但是她很善良，她帮助了作者和一个面试官。她的善良、乐于助人也让她得到了那份工作。

1.句意：我没有吃早饭就来到了面试的地方。

考查名词辨析及语境。breakfast早饭；lunch午饭；supper晚饭；dinner晚饭。根据下文 “I told her, “I didn't have breakfast this morning, so my stomachache comes to me.””可知，作者早早起来就去参加面试，没有吃早饭。故选A。

2.句意：她小声地告诉我，“我毕业于一个大专学校。”

考查名词辨析及语境。point点；指；level水平；sound声音，指自然界的各种声音；voice声音，指人的声音。根据女孩所说的话可知，参加面试的50人中只有她没有学士学位，所以她是不自信的，说话声音很小。故选D。

3.句意：我不得不坐在桌子旁边休息。

考查名词辨析及语境。rest休息；sleep睡觉；test测试；talk谈话。根据上文 “As I didn’t have breakfast, my stomach started to ache.”可知，“我”胃疼，所以应该是在桌子旁边休息。故选A。

4.句意：就在那时，那个女孩问我发生了什么。

考查连词辨析及语境。which哪一个；how怎样，如何；what什么；when什么时候。根据句子结构可知，该空引导的是宾语从句，从句中缺少主语，应填连接代词，排除B和D。结合句意可知，这里问“发生了什么”，故选C。

5.句意：过了一会儿，一个工作人员递给我一瓶牛奶和一片面包。

考查动词辨析及语境。handed递；showed展示，表明；sent寄，送；bought买。根据下文 “It was certain that they were bought by the girl.”可知，东西是女孩买的，故D不对；B和C意思不合适。这里应指工作人员把食物递给我。故选A。

6.句意：我感到浑身温暖，因为我没有想到她会这么好地帮助我——她的竞争对手。

考查形容词辨析及语境。cold寒冷的；warm温暖的；excited兴奋的，激动的；cool凉爽的，冷酷的。根据上文 “It was certain that they were bought by the girl.”可知，这个女孩给我买了食物，这让我感到很“温暖”。故选B。

7.句意：上班的第一天，我很吃惊地看到那个女孩在那儿。

考查形容词辨析及语境。afraid害怕的；surprised吃惊的；worried担心的；bored厌烦的，无聊的。根据下文 “Later I asked her why she got the job.”可知，作者感到很吃惊，所以才会问那个女孩为什么得到了这个工作。故选B。

8.句意：她笑着说：“当我给你买食物的那天，一位面试官手里拿着报纸去了洗手间。”

考查介词辨析及语境。at在几点或在小地方；from 从……；来自……；with带有；和……一起；in在……里面。根据句意可知，这里表示女孩带着微笑说，故选C。

9.句意：她笑着说：“当我给你买食物的那天，一位面试官手里拿着报纸去了洗手间。”

10.句意：在那一刻，我才知道，当那个女孩帮助我和面试官的时候，她也帮助了自己。

考查反身代词及语境。myself我自己；himself他自己；herself她自己；yourself你自己。根据句意可知，女孩在帮助别人的同时，也帮助了她自己。这个代词指的是“女孩自己”，故选C。
