【主旨大意】本文讲述了一个名叫詹森的报童因诚实而获得回报的故事。尽管詹森很需要钱，但他没有为了提高销量而撒谎，反而因诚实最终获得了一份报酬高的工作。
1．【答案】D
【解析】根据文章第一段第一句中的“carrying some newspapers under his arm”及第五句中“carrying the papers …”可知仍然有20份报纸，和最后一段最后一句中的“lost the sale of twenty papers”和该题呼应，故选D项。
2．【答案】B
【解析】根据文章第一段第四、五句可知，商店马上关门，所有的人都将回家，但他还有20份报纸没卖完，只能把剩下的报纸带回家，因此心情沉重，故选B项。
3．【答案】A
【解析】instead of意为“代替；而不是”；in return for意为“作为……的回报”；regardless of意为“不管；不顾”；in exchange for意为“作为……的交换”，根据上题句意，应选A项。
4．【答案】D
【解析】根据文章第三段第二句中的“the cake he wanted to buy for his mother”可知设空处应填cake。故选D项。
5．【答案】B
【解析】根据前句，詹森用他所有的钱买了报纸但没能卖完，这使得他本来想给妈妈买蛋糕、给小鸟买种子的愿望落空，故一想到没能卖掉所有的报纸他就情绪低落。give in意为“屈服；让步”；break down意为“发生故障；分解；(精神/健康)垮掉”；get away意为“离开”；show up意为“露面；出现”，故选B项。
6．【答案】D
【解析】根据语境可知，另外一个报童查德告诉詹森他的卖报秘诀就是大声喊有最新消息和爆炸性消息。difficulty意为“困难”；process意为“过程”；goal意为“目标”；secret意为“秘密；秘诀”，故选D项。
7．【答案】B
【解析】根据第二段最后一句可知，查德的卖报秘诀是趁着买报人还没来得及看内容就赶紧拿钱跑掉，这说明查德宣称的最新消息实际上是编造的，故詹森的回答与前句相反，有转折意义，故选B项。
8．【答案】A
【解析】before作连词时，意为“在……之前”，根据上题句意，应选A项。 9．【答案】C
【解析】此处为查德报纸卖得又快又多的秘诀。call out意为“大声叫唤”；drop out意为“退学；退出”；sell out意为“卖完；卖光”；reach out意为“伸出”，故选C项。
10．【答案】B
【解析】查德的卖报秘诀对于詹森而言是个新的主意。edition意为“版本”；idea意为“想法；主意”；policy意为“政策；方针”；task意为“工作；任务”，故选B项。
11．【答案】C
