SectionII趣味幽默篇答案與解析

Passage13

【答案與解析】假日里，亨利喜歡到海邊去旅游。有一次，他想去西山農(nóng)場(chǎng)享受一下山

園風(fēng)光，并計(jì)劃在那兒度過(guò)一個(gè)月的時(shí)間。可是令人驚奇的是，才去四天之后他就回來(lái)了。

當(dāng)朋友問(wèn)起其中的緣由時(shí)，亨利說(shuō)道：第一天，農(nóng)場(chǎng)里死了一只羊，晚餐時(shí)美美地吃了?頓

烤羊肉；第二天農(nóng)場(chǎng)死了一頭牛，又吃了一頓燒牛肉；第三天農(nóng)場(chǎng)死了一頭豬，結(jié)果又吃了

一頓烤豬肉?？墒?，到了第四天，農(nóng)場(chǎng)主死了，我不敢再留下來(lái)吃飯了。

1.A?第二段的首句"...butoneyearhesawanadvertisementinanewspaper."即是答

案的出處。

2.Co本題考查根據(jù)語(yǔ)境進(jìn)行分析判斷的能力。山上下文，顯然可知這是報(bào)紙上的一則

廣告信息。

3.Bo本題考查通過(guò)上下文對(duì)詞匯的推測(cè)能力。根據(jù)亨利的敘述可得出此答案。

4.Bo這由"Adifferentmeateveryday,andyouarecomplaining!”一句可知。

5.Co本來(lái)打算要在鄉(xiāng)村農(nóng)場(chǎng)過(guò)一個(gè)暑假，結(jié)果四天之后就回來(lái)了。這能不是個(gè)短暫的

假期嗎？用此作標(biāo)題既切合題意，又具有幽默的味道。

Passage14

【答案與解析】這篇短文的大致情節(jié)是：一位婦女向車站售票員索要12英鎊，原因是:

由于售票員工作的疏忽，買(mǎi)給這位婦女的票是5月22II的，那天并沒(méi)有輪船出航。這位婦

女和自己的女兒只好在旅館住了一宿，花去了12英鎊。可是當(dāng)售票員和這位婦女攀談時(shí)，

得知她四歲的女兒沒(méi)有買(mǎi)票，而兒童票價(jià)是13.5英鎊。結(jié)果，這位婦女非但沒(méi)有得到12

英鎊的補(bǔ)償，反而欠車站1.5英鎊。

1.C.這是一道辨認(rèn)事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。粗看D似乎應(yīng)該是此題的答案，但仔細(xì)辨認(rèn)一下就不

難發(fā)現(xiàn)短文中確定指出五月二十二日那天沒(méi)有去Jersey的輪船，可是當(dāng)讀完thewomen所

說(shuō)的話后，你就會(huì)清楚地知道她生氣的主要原因是她多花了一宿住旅店的錢(qián)。

2.B.仔細(xì)閱讀短文的二、三段就可以知道是因?yàn)镠arry沒(méi)做好工作，5月22日晚上在

Jersey無(wú)船的。

3.A.短文中的這句‘M/onderingwhattodo,hesmiledatthechild."是解答該題的依據(jù)。

4.D.根據(jù)上下文對(duì)事情和年輕的售票員思想過(guò)程的敘述，可知這句話的意思是：按規(guī)定

那婦女要付小孩的票錢(qián)，但售票員也有錯(cuò)。因此，他希望互相不追究，所以正確答案為D。

5.D.從最后年輕人的那段話，及那位婦女一句話都沒(méi)說(shuō)，站起來(lái)，牽起小女孩的手就離

開(kāi)了票房這一事實(shí)，可以推理出那婦女的思想過(guò)程，即如果她要堅(jiān)持讓票房賠她?晚住宿營(yíng)

費(fèi)的話，那么車站也可以按規(guī)定要她補(bǔ)買(mǎi)小女孩的票，這樣她就會(huì)多付1.5英鎊，因此，她

也就不再堅(jiān)持了。

Passage15

【答案與解析】這篇幽默故事講的是：三個(gè)人在談?wù)摗叭绻蠓蚋嬷氵€能活三個(gè)月的

時(shí)間，你最想做什么？”這個(gè)問(wèn)題。其中一個(gè)人說(shuō)他將從銀行取出所有的錢(qián)和朋友一塊去度

假，并盡可能多地旅游一些地方。另一個(gè)人說(shuō)他將買(mǎi)掉自己的房子，買(mǎi)一輛好車，做一名賽

車手。也許能有機(jī)會(huì)參加汽車大賽。第三個(gè)人說(shuō)，如果大夫告訴他這個(gè)壞消息，他將再去看

一個(gè)醫(yī)生。
