1.B。根据下文可知,是“买”一种“刮刮乐”彩票。
2.A。Mr.Lucky似乎比其他人更幸运,因为他的彩票往往最终获奖。end up“最终成为”符合语境。
3.D。其他人买的彩票没有中奖,因此这些刮开的、没有中奖的彩票就“一文不值”了。
4.B。下文的事例表明,Mr.Lucky听力下降,听不清了,所以这里应该用suffer表示“遭受”。
5.C。这里是天气预报,提醒人们“注意天气情况”,用be aware of。
6.D。Mr.Lucky由于听力不好,把tornado warning(龙卷风警报)听成了tomato warning(西红柿警报),因此他自己也感到“奇怪”。
7.A。他的同事们拿他的听力没有办法,只能无奈地“摇摇头”。

12.C。与上文打扫地板相对应,这里应为“倒空”垃圾桶。
13.B。根据Mr. Lucky下文的话可知,他对自己的生活非常满足,认为自己是“最幸运的”人。
14.A。自己拥有那么多:妻子、儿子一家人、工作,还有一点儿“闲钱”,与下文pocket相对应。
15.B。这个情况已经是最好,不可能“更好”了,说明Mr. Lucky非常满足。“否定词+比较级”相当于最高级,故选B。
16.C。作者纳闷儿,Mr. Lucky视力不好,打扫卫生的工作“质量”可能会受到影响,那家店的经理为什么还要“继续”让他留任呢?
17.B。参见上题解析。properly“适当地”符合语境。carefully指态度方面;quickly,slowly指速度方面。
18.A。由后面的“get off work”可知,这里指作者在等待Mr. Lucky下班。
