Question

10．At Blossom End Railroad Station，22-year-old Stanley Vine sat，waiting for his new employer．The surrounding green fields were so unlike the muddy landscape of war-torn France．After four horrible years as a solider in Europe，Stanley returned to England in February 1946．Armed now with some savings and with no possibility of finding a job in England，he answered a newspaper ad for farm help in Canada．Two months later he was on his way．
Stanley rose to his feet，trying to make the most of his five foot and four inches frame．The farmer，Alphonse Lapine，shook his head，"You're a skinny thing．"On the way to his dairy farm，Alphonse explained that he had a wife and seven kids．"Money is tight．You'll get up at dawn for milking，and then help me around the farm until evening milking time again．Ten dollars a week．Sundays off．"Stanley nodded．He had never been on a farm before，but he took the job．
From the beginning Stanley was treated horribly by the whole family．They made fun of the way he dressed and talked．He could do nothing right．The humourless farmer frequently lost his temper，criticizing Stanley for the slightest mistake．The oldest son，13-year-old Armand，constantly played tricks on him．But Stanley never responded．
Stanley never became part of the Lapine family．After work，they ignored him．He spent his nights alone in a tiny bedroom．However，each evening before going to bed，he lovingly cared for the farmer's horses．On Saturday nights he hiked into the nearest town and wandered the streets or enjoyed a restaurant meal before returning to the farm．
Early one November morning Alphonse Lapine discovered that Stanley had disappeared，after working for only six months．The railway station master，when questioned later that week，said he had not seen him．In fact no one in the community ever heard of him again．That is，until one evening，almost 20 years later，when Armand opened an American sports magazine and came across a shocking headline，"Millionaire jockey，Stanley Vine，ex-British soldier and 5-time horse riding champion，began life in North America as a farmhand in Canada．"

Answer 1

分析 本文是一篇人物故事類閱讀．主要講述了Stanley退役后，在英國找不到工作，來到加拿大當(dāng)了一名農(nóng)場助理．但在農(nóng)場主家受盡不公正待遇，悄然離開．若干年后，他竟然成了一名體育明星．

解答 56．C細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)"Armed now with some savings and with no prospects for a job in England，he answered a newspaper ad for farm help in Canada．"可知，Stanley Vine自己不能在英國找到一個工作，所以去了加拿大．故選C
57．D細(xì)節(jié)判斷題．根據(jù)"he answered a newspaper ad for farm help in Canada．"可知，Stanley Vine的工作時通過在報紙上看到的．故選D．
58．B細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)"he lovingly cared for the farmer's horses，eagerly awaiting him at the field gate．"可知他下班后就非常悉心的照顧農(nóng)場主的馬．故選B．
59．D推斷判斷題．從最后三段來看，Alphonse Lapine一家人對Stanley Vine非常的苛刻，也很瞧不起他，Armand 沒有意料到多年之后，Stanley Vine會是如此的成功．故選D．
