解题依据 解题分析
1 A 常识运用逻辑推理 早晨人们睡眼惺忪地赶往的自然是工作(jobs)地点，而不是回家(homes)。去上班不局限于by bus还有by car／train／trolley bus等，所以不选buses。offices通常指"白领"人员的办公室，而jobs才泛指一切工作场所。
2 D 前后照应 就单句来选A、D都行，但结合上下文，紧接下来"But this day was to be different．"(但这将是个不同寻常的日子。)自然要用ordinary了。hot，same缺少存在前提。
3 C 语句连贯 此句与上句的关系是转折(But)关系。and表示顺承和递进关系；so，thus表示因果关系。
4 D 常识运用词语搭配前后
