3.D 为了应对疲劳,我为自己准备了6包饮料。所以答案为D项。
4.C 根据上句drinks可知,喝了两包饮料之后,我觉得非常口渴。所以答案为C项。
5.D 从本空后in search of water得出,于是我到厨房去找水喝。所以答案为D项。
6.A 与本空后wash对应。厨房里比较脏,所以我得洗一个杯子以便盛水喝。所以答案为A项。
7.B 根据上句我洗杯子判断,正要洗完杯子时,我发现手指上满是血。所以答案为B项。

11.D 根据上文玻璃杯割破我的手指可知,这两个碎片非常锋利,很危险。所以答案为D项。
12.A 第9空后cut有提示。不管怎样,伤口不是很糟。所以答案为A项。
13.B 上文blood有提示。我花了半小时才把血止住。10天后,这个伤口才愈合。所以答案为B项。
14.C 由第12空后deep enough判断,伤口现在已经好了,但是却留下了一道深深的疤痕。所以答案为C项。
15.B 根据本空后内容可知,正是因为这道伤疤,无论什么时候我洗杯子时,我总是小心翼翼的,生怕杯子会破。所以答案为B项。

18.C 上文finger有提示。就像我的手指一样,我们许多人都有看似已经愈合的伤疤。所以答案为C项。

【疑难词汇解读】
1.crave (for) sth. v.渴望、渴求某事物
I was craving for a drink.我非常想喝一点东西。
2.heal v.(使)愈合
The wound healed slowly.伤口愈合得很慢。
The cut soon healed over/up,but it left a scar.伤口不久就愈合了,但却留下了伤疤。
The wound is not yet healed.伤口尚未愈合。
【长难句子分析】
It was then that I realized the glass had broken in my hands and unfortunately it cut my finger.
本句是强调结构。被强调部分是时间状语then。谓语realized带一个省略了连词that的宾语从句;该宾语从句是一个由连词and连接的并列句。
那时我才意识到,杯子在我手里破了。不幸的是,它划伤了我的手指。
