Question

Mr Brown was going away for a week. Before he left, he said to his son, "if anyone asks for me, you can tell him that your father has been out for doing something, and will be back in a week, then be sure to ask him to sit down for a cup of tea.""OK, Dad," said his son. But he was afraid his son couldn't remember this, he wrote these words down on a piece of paper and gave it to him. His son put it into his small pocket, took it out and looked at it every now and then.

Four days passed, but no one came to see his father. The boy thought that there was no man to come and that the piece of paper was of no more use for him, so he burnt it that evening.

The next afternoon, someone knocked at the door. The boy opened it. A man was standing at the door and said, "Where is your father?" The boy put his hand into his pocket at once and looked for the piece of paper. He could not find it. He suddenly remembered he had burnt it, so he shouted, "No more."The man was very surprised. He asked, "No more? I met your father last week. When did it happen?"

"Burnt yesterday evening."

【解析】

試題分析：文章大意：布朗先生外出辦事，在離家之前他告訴兒子如果有人來(lái)找他，就告訴他一周以后會(huì)回來(lái)，布朗怕兒子忘了就把他的話寫(xiě)在一張紙上。四天后沒(méi)人來(lái)拜訪，兒子就把紙條燒掉，在第五天有人來(lái)拜訪布朗，兒子不怎怎樣回答來(lái)訪者，最后想出燒掉了，于是說(shuō)了一句no more，讓來(lái)訪者誤認(rèn)為布朗先生不在了。

1.A細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)文中語(yǔ)句“Mr Brown was going away for a week. Before he left, he said to his son, "if anyone asks for me, you can tell him that your father has been out for doing something, and will be back in a week,”理解可知。布朗告訴兒子自己要離家一周。故A正確。

2.2】C細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)文中語(yǔ)句“he wrote these words down on a piece of paper and gave it to him.”理解可知。布朗把自己囑咐兒子的話寫(xiě)在了紙上，交給了兒子。故C正確。

3.D細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)文中語(yǔ)句“Four days passed, but no one came to see his father. The boy thought that there was no man to come and that the piece of paper was of no more use for him, so he burnt it that evening. The next afternoon, someone knocked at the door. The boy opened it. A man was standing at the door and said, "Where is your father? "”理解可知。在第五天有人 來(lái)拜訪布朗。故D正確。

4.A推理判斷題。根據(jù)文中語(yǔ)句理解可知，燒掉的是紙條不是布朗先生。聯(lián)系上文這個(gè)男孩找不到父親寫(xiě)給他的紙條了,可知指的是這張紙條。故A正確。
