分析 短文主要講述一位在英國布萊頓上班的Coates 先生認為周末上班是很危險的，因為在6月24日周六，他去辦公室做點事情，因為電梯出故障被困在里面，直到周二上午老板過去上班發(fā)現(xiàn)電梯壞了，請人過來修理，電梯打開后，Coates 先生才被發(fā)現(xiàn)，然后得救了．

解答 66-70 ABBBD
66．A；細節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)the boss of the company came to work and found the elevator was not working．描述可知，電梯出故障了，故選A．
67．B；考查細節(jié)題，根據(jù)He had been in the elevator for sixty-two hours!他已經(jīng)在電梯里有62個小時了，排除C；由文章內(nèi)容，他是在周六被困在電梯里，直到周二公司老板上班發(fā)現(xiàn)電梯壞了，才發(fā)現(xiàn)了他，可知他從周六到周二一直在電梯里，故選B．
68．B；細節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)With nothing to eat or drink，Mr Coates slept most of the time．沒有吃的和喝的，Coates先生大部分時間在睡覺描述可知，大部分時間他在睡覺和等待，故選B．
69．B；文章內(nèi)容理解題，根據(jù)When the elevator was opened，Mr Coates came out描述可知，直到有人開了電梯，Coates先生才出來，故選B．
70．D；選標(biāo)題題，根據(jù)文章主要內(nèi)容，講述Coates 先生被困在電梯里的事情，故標(biāo)題選D比較合適．

點評 閱讀理解題通常從細節(jié)，文章主旨，推測詞組大意幾個方面考查學(xué)生對文章的理解，做題時注意找到文章出處，做到有理有據(jù)．
