grey”灰色的“;yellow”黄色的“;black”黑色的“;red”红色的“。

根据下文"The place had recently been painted a bright yellow, and the light reflecting off the walls made everyone inside 11 as though they were sick"可知,加油站粉刷成了黄色,墙上反射出来的光线使里面的每个人看起来好像都病了一样。

由此可知,服务员认为作者的脸色是黄色的,看上去好像生病了。

故选B。

（5）考查形容词。

因为怀疑自己患了某种罕见的疾病,所以作者感到不舒服,回到家感觉身体某些部分有些疼痛。

故选C。

（10）考查动词短语。

作者在下一次去加油站时弄清楚了缘由。

葛奴上文可知，真相就是墙上反射出来的光线使里面的每个人看起来好像病了一样；在根据下文可知，我让那段短对话改变了我整整一天的态度。

前后内容之间是转折关系,故选A。

（13）考查形容词。

（16）考查副词。

smoothly“光滑地”;badly“坏地”;well“好地”;positively“积极地”。

but后面的内容和前一句构成转折关系。

but后面提到的是如果我们认为好的事情会发生……;那么该处应该提到的是：如果我们认为情况不好,那么坏的事情就会发生。

故选B。

（17）考查名词。

principle“原则,原理”;saying“谚语”;meaning“意义”; sentence“句子”。

根据上文可知，如果我们认为一些不好的事情会发生,那么它有可能真的会发生；再根据下文，如果我们认为好的事情会发生,那么它很大可能会发生。

由此可知,该处指前一句的原理反过来也适用。

故选A。

（18）考查副词。
