12.Sixteen-year-oldMariawaswaitinginlineattheairportinSantoDomingo.Shewasleavingherna... 12.
Sixteen-year-old Maria was waiting in line at the airport in Santo Domingo. She was leaving her native country to join her sister in the United States. She spoke English very well. Though she was very happy she could go abroad, she was feeling sad at leaving her family and friends. As she was thinking all about this, she suddenly heard the airline employee asking her to pick up her luggage and put it on the scales (称). Maria pulled and pulled. The bag was too heavy and she just couldn’t lift it up. The man behind her got very impatient. He, too, was waiting to check in his luggage.

“What’s wrong with this girl?” He said, “Why doesn’t she hurry up?” He moved forward and placed his bag on the counter, hoping to check in first. He was in a hurry to get a good seat.

Maria was very angry, but she was very polite. And in her best English she said, "Why are you so upset? There are enough seats for everyone on the plane. If you are in such a hurry, why can’t you give me a hand with my luggage?”

The man was surprised to hear Maria speak English. He quickly picked up her luggage and stepped back. Everyone was looking at him with disapproval. (224 words)

D,Sixteen-year-old Maria was waiting in line at the airport in Santo Domingo.She was leaving her native country to join her sister in the United States. 从这两句看出 Maria 还在Santo Domingo,没在USA,所以选D

C,she suddenly heard the airline employee asking her to pick up her luggage and put it on the scales (称),从这句看出“airline employee”是要“check people’s luggage”,而不单单是“pick up the luggage”,所以选C

C,这题简单的,upset对应unhappy

D,“Everyone was looking at him with disapproval”翻译过来就是每个人都不满的看着他,对应的就是“felt sorry for the man’s manners (对这个男子的态度感到不满)”,考点在于你是否认识disapproval和manners这两个单词

A,she was young but behaved properly她虽然年轻,但表现的乖巧懂事。其他选项和文章意思不符
