Question

【題目】 I felt very sad because I was not able to get the ticket to the film Hero last Friday. I learned from the newspaper that tickets could be bought at the cinema box office in Richland Hills any day between 10:00 a. m. and 4:00 p. m. Since I work from 9:00 a. m. to 5:30 p. m. , the only time I could go to the cinema is during my 45 minutes’ lunchtime. It is a pity that the cinema is on the other side of the town and the bus service between my company and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky, you can make the round trip in 45 minutes.

Last Monday, I stood at the bus stop for 15 minutes waiting for a bus. By the time I saw one come round the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip, so I had to go back. The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again on Wednesday. On Thursday my luck changed. I got on a bus right away and arrived at the cinema in twenty minutes. But when I got there, I found a long line of people at the box office. I heard one man said he had been waiting in line for over an hour. I found I would not have enough time to wait in line. I caught the next bus and went back across the town.

By Friday I understood my only hope was to make the trip by car. It was expensive, but I felt it would be worth it to see the film. The trip by car only took 10 minutes, but it felt like an hour to me. When I reached the cinema, I was delighted to see that nobody was waiting in line. But I quickly found out that it was because they had already sold out all the tickets.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】D

【2】B

【3】A

【4】D

【5】C

【解析】

本文主要講述了作者為了得到自己喜歡的電影票，想盡一切辦法，費勁周折到達(dá)了售票處，正當(dāng)我高興地排隊等候時，卻發(fā)現(xiàn)票已經(jīng)售完了。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由… and the bus service between my company and Richland Hills is not very good.可看出作者在一家公司工作。因此推斷出作者不會是工人、醫(yī)生或農(nóng)民，那作者就是職員。故選D。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從第二段看出星期一到星期三由于時間關(guān)系沒能到達(dá)電影院，只有星期四、星期五到達(dá)了那里。即“兩次”。故選B。

【3】推理判斷題。由于從星期一到星期四作者都沒能買到票，而且擔(dān)心沒有足夠的時間回公司，所以這一次他非常擔(dān)心，10分鐘的車程對他來說就像有一個小時那么久。故選A。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由最后一句可知車票已經(jīng)賣完了，所以他沒買到票。故選D。

【5】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由I was delighted to see that nobody was waiting in line.可知沒有人在排隊等候。故選C。
