Question

Peter and his seven-year-old sister ,Kate , were at the same school. Not long after his tenth birthday Peter was entrusted to take her to school.

It was only two stops down the road , but the way his parents kept going on about it , you might have thought Peter was taking Kate to the North Pole . He was given instructions the night before. When he woke up , he had to listen to them over and over again. He was to keep hold of Kate’s hand at all times , sit close to the front nearest the window , and tell the bus driver the name of his stop.

Peter repeated all this back to his mother and set out for the bus stop with his sister. They held hands all the way. Actually he didn’t mind this but simply hoped that none of his friends would see him holding a girl’s hand. The bus came. They got on and sat close to the front. It was ridiculous sitting there holding hands and there were some boys from school there, so they let go of each other.

Peter was feeling proud of himself. He could take care of his sister anywhere. If they were alone tighter on a mountain pass and came face to face with a pack of hungry wolves, he could know exactly what to do. Taking care and not to make sudden movement, he would move away with Kate until they had their backs to a large rock. That way the wolves would not be able to surround them.

Then he takes from his pocket two important things—his hunting knife and a box of matches. He takes the knife from its sheath(鞘) and sets it down on the grass, ready in case the wolves attack. They’re coming close now. They’re so hungry and are watering and growling (咆哮). Kate is crying, but he cannot comfort her. He knows he has to concentrate on his plan. Right at their feet are some dry leaves and twigs. Quickly and skillfully, Peter gathers them into a small pile. The wolves are edging closer. He has to get this right. There’s only one match left in the box. He bends down, cups his hand and lights the match. There’s strong rush of wind. The flame flickers, but Peter holds it close to the pile and then first one leaf, then another, then the end of a twig catch fire, and soon the little pile is burning. He piles on more leaves and twigs and larger sticks. The wolves are backing off. Wild animals are terrified of fire. The flames are leaping higher and the wind is carrying the smoke right into their jaws. Now Peter takes holds of the hunting knife and …

Ridiculous! A daydream like this could make him miss his stop if he wasn’t careful. The bus had come to a halt. The kids from his school were already getting off. Peter leaped to his feet and just managed to jump to the pavement as the bus was starting off again. It was more than fifty yards down the road when he realized he had forgotten something. Was it his backpack ? No. It was his sister. He had saved her from the wolves and left her sitting there. For a moment, he couldn’t move. He stood watching the bus pull away up the road. “Come back,” he murmured, “Come back.”

【解析】

試題分析：本文講述了Peter的媽媽一直叮囑他要照顧好妹妹，要和妹妹去上學搭公交車時要一直手拉手，坐在一起，可是Peter由于自己亂想，自己在做白日夢，想著他在一群餓狼中如何救出他的妹妹，結果差點坐過了站，但是他還是忘了她妹妹還在車上。

1.細節(jié)判斷題。He was to keep hold of Kate’s hand at all times , sit close to the front nearest the window .他媽媽一直要求他拉著妹妹的手，并且靠前排窗戶坐，故選D

2.細節(jié)題。從第二自然段Peter repeated all this back to his mother and set out for the bus stop with his sister. 可知，上車前他一直在重復著他媽媽的叮囑，故選C

3.細節(jié)題。本題主要需要細心在倒數(shù)第三和倒數(shù)第二自然段，仔細的比較全文并比較選項即可得出答案選B.

4.推斷題。從最后一段For a moment, he couldn’t move. He stood watching the bus pull away up the road. “Come back,” he murmured, “Come back.”及前文他媽媽的反復叮囑中我們不難發(fā)現(xiàn)，最后他一動不能動，口里喃喃自語，可知他很焦急和絕望，故選A
