  In spite of the instructions he had been given, Tommy did not hurry straight round to Mrs.Blakey’s house with the note.Reading the-toy shop window with its decorated Christmas tree, he could not tear himself away from it until he had spent ten minutes staring at the gift he most wanted:a gun that fired corks.Where the road began to run downhill to Mrs.Blakey’s house he met some of his friends who were throwing snowballs.He joined in the fight, and by the time it finished, another twenty minutes had gone by.Ten more minutes were lost looking for the note for Mrs.Blakey, which had somehow dropped from his pocket during the fight.When, with the help of his friends, he finally found it, it was not only very wet, but, to his horror, he found that part of it was torn away and missing.That meant a further search, but in vain.So it happened that, now looking very untidy, Tommy reached Mrs.Blakey’s house nearly an hour late, carrying a dirty piece of paper that contained only the words.(See the words of the torn note on the right.)

  Mrs.Blakey was puzzled over the note for a while, then, imagining she knew what the missing words were, told Tommy to tell his mother it would be all right.

  Tommy returning home in much the same way as he had made the outward journey to Mrs.Blakey's, arrived not long before four o’clock to find his mother very angry and already putting her hat on.

  “You naughty boy, where have you been?” she cried, and without waiting for an answer, “What did Mrs.Blakey say?”

  Tommy told her.

  “All right, you'd better come with me,” Mrs.Hendry said.And so once again Tommy found himself on the downhill road to Mrs.Blakey's.

  At about the same moment that Mrs.Hendry and her son Tommy reached Mrs.Blakey's door, Mrs.Blakey herself, having taken a different road, was waiting outside the Hendry's home, wondering why there was no answer to her knock.Who could blame her for thinking that the torn note was an invitation to tea at the Hendry's, instead of which Mrs.Hendry had in fact been asking herself out to tea with Mrs.Blakey?

(1)

In the underlined sentence, “it” refers to ________

[  ]

A.

Mrs.Blakey's house

B.

the message

C.

the toy-shop window

D.

the road

(2)

Tommy's mother told him ________

[  ]

A.

to hurry straight round to Mrs.Blakey's house with the note

B.

to play snow fight with the other kids

C.

to look at the toy-shop window

D.

to look for the note

(3)

Mrs.Blakey “told Tommy to tell his mother it would be all right” means ________

[  ]

A.

she didn't mind the note being torn

B.

Mrs.Hendry's request was inconvenient

C.

she thought she could accept Mrs.Hendry's invitation

D.

she would find the missing words

(4)

What would be the best title for the story?

[  ]

A.

Tommy-A Naught Boy

B.

A Torn Missing Note

C.

An Acceptable Invitaion

D.

An Interesting Misunderstanding

答案:1.C;2.A;3.C;4.D;
解析:

(1)

考查文中代詞的指代關系理解。根據(jù)畫線句子理解:他呆了10分鐘才依依不舍地離開那里。結合前后文知道Tommy是在toy-shop window處看到了自己喜歡的禮物,所以此處it應該是指toy-shop window。難度中等。

(2)

考查細節(jié)理解。從文章第一段1,2行可以得出。難度小。

(3)

考查推理判斷。結合句子意思和便條上模糊的內容以及后文Mrs Blakey的行動可以推出Mrs Blakey的理解。本題難度中等。

(4)

  [解析]考查主旨大意。結合兩位女士互相造訪對方家門的行動,我們不難明白,因為Tommy的原因,導致了她們的誤會,選項D概括恰當。本題難度中等。

  [文章大意]媽媽叫兒子去送一張短信,兒子一路耽擱還把便條的內容弄丟了一部分,結果導致對方理解錯誤而互赴空門。

     CBC is a famous air company which has over twenty planes carrying passengers and goods, flying
along 12 fixed lines all over the world. Its service is very good but some passengers are still not satisfied
with it and that is why in 1998 and 1999 the company received letters of complaints(投訴) from consumers
or passengers who pointed out over a dozen kinds of problems which are divided in groups in the following
table. This division is called Category. Problems that appear when the plane is flying are Flight problems.
Those about passengers' things carried by the plane are Baggage problems. Customer service refers to
service work which passengers are not satisfied with. Over sales of seats are about the fact that more seats
are sold and as a result the plane is too crowded to be safe. Refund problems appear when passengers fail
to receive the money paid to them because of what they have lost. Fares are problems about the price of
tickets. Reservations are problems that appear when passengers could not get the tickets they have already
booked. Tours are problems about the passengers'traveling by air or hotel problems. Advertising is what the
passengers think about advertisement on the plane. Credit problems are about the use of credit cards.
