Question

【題目】閱讀理解
Mr. King was the manager of a hotel. One weekend all the hotels in the city were full because there was a large meeting. On Friday night, three men came into the hotel and asked for rooms. Mr. King said there were no rooms ready because of the meeting. The men were unhappy.
Mr. King wanted to help them. He remembered that Room 418, a very small room, was empty. He asked them if they would share a room. The three men said they would. Mr. King said the room would be thirty dollars: ten for each one. Each man gave him the money and then went up to the room.
Mr. King soon began to feel sorry. "Thirty dollars is a lot to ask as price for that small room. " he thought. He called his assistant over and said, "Here is five dollars. Take it to the men in Room 418. I asked too much for their room."
The assistant took the money. While he was on the way there, he started to think, "How can three men divide five dollars? I'll give them each only one dollar and keep the two dollars for myself. The men will be happy to get something back, and Mr. King will never know. " So the assistant returned one dollar to each man.
Each man had at first paid ten dollars. After the assistant returned them one dollar each, each had paid nine. There were three men, $ 9 ×3 = $ 27. The assistant kept $ 2. $ 27 + $ 2 = $ 29

【解析】文章大意：這是一篇趣味故事類閱讀，有點(diǎn)像我們見過的腦筋急轉(zhuǎn)彎。三個(gè)人住一個(gè)房間，一人付10美元，Mr. King 因?yàn)榉块g小退還三人5美元，店員認(rèn)為5美元三個(gè)人不好分，只退還他們每人1美元，還有2美元被自己扣留了。最后提出三人共付27美元，加上被扣留的2美元，共計(jì)29美元，問那1美元到哪里去了？
（1）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段句子“On Friday night，three men came into the hotel and asked for rooms. Mr. King said there were no rooms ready because of the meeting. The men were unhappy.”(星期五晚上，三個(gè)人走進(jìn)旅館，詢問房間，金先生說因?yàn)闀?huì)議沒有準(zhǔn)備好房間，男人們很不開心。)可知因?yàn)樗麄儧]有地方住。故答案選D。
（2）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段句子“Mr. King wanted to help them. He remembered that Room 418，a small room, was empty. He asked them if they could share a room. The three men said they would.”(金先生想要幫助他們，他記得418房間，房間很小，是空的。他問他們是否愿意分享一個(gè)房間，三個(gè)人說他們?cè)敢狻?可知說明最后這三個(gè)人一起住在一個(gè)小房間里，故選C。
（3）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段句子Mr. King said the room would be thirty dollars； ten dollars for each person．Each man gave him the money and then went up to the room. (金先生說這個(gè)房間三十美元，每人10美元，每個(gè)人都給了他錢，然后走進(jìn)房間。)可知說明每個(gè)人付了10美元，故選D．
（4）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段句子“I'll give them each only one dollar and keep the two dollars for myself. The men will be happy to get something back. And Mr. King will never know. So the assistant returned one dollar to each man.”(我將給他們每人一美元，并把這兩美元留給自己男人會(huì)很高興得到回報(bào)，Mr. King永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)知道，于是助手把一美元還給了每個(gè)人)，可知這個(gè)人自己扣留了2美元，故答案選B。
（5）細(xì)節(jié)推理題。根據(jù)這篇文章內(nèi)容可知實(shí)際上Mr. King得了25美元，那三個(gè)人每個(gè)人付了9美元，一共是27美元，the assistant扣了2美元，根本沒有所謂的多余的一美元，故選A。
