Answer 1

【答案】
（1）B
（2）B
（3）A
（4）A
【解析】⑴細節(jié)理解。He has no money (錢) left to buy the new toy train he wants.他沒錢買新玩具火車了，所以借錢。故選B。
⑵詞義猜測。根據本段前面所述：Alan把所有的錢都花在給媽媽買生日禮物上了，沒有錢了。所以說Scott問錯了人。bark 犬吠；bark up the wrong tree 弄錯(或攻錯)了目標;用錯精力,精力花在不該花的地方;認錯了人,找錯了地方;錯怪了人 。所以選B。
⑶推理判斷。根據最后一段he gets a job selling ice cream，他得到了賣冰淇淋的工作，當然在甜品店里面。故選A。
⑷推理判斷。斯科特為了買玩具火車而去打工賺錢，所以他能買到一輛新的玩具火車。故選A。
