Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確的答案。
A
Several years ago, a television reporter was interviewing three of the most important people from local businesses. One was a very rich banker, another owned one of the largest companies in the world, and the third owned many buildings in the center of New York.
The reporter was talking to them about being important.
“How do we know if someone is really important?” the reporter asked the banker.
The banker thought for a few moments and then said, “I think anybody who is invited to the White House to meet the President is really important.”
The reporter then turned to the owner of the very large company. “Do you agree with that?” she asked.
The man shook his head, “No. I think the President invites a lot of people to the White House. You’d only be important if while you were visiting the President, there was a telephone call from the president of another country, and the President said he was too busy to answer it.”
The reporter turned to the third man. “Do you think so?”
“No, I don’t.” he said. “I don’t think that makes the visitor important. That makes the President important.”
“Then what would make the visitor important?” the reporter and the other two men asked.
“Oh, I think if the visitor to the White House was talking to the President and the phone rang, and the President picked up the receiver, listened and then said, ‘it’s for you.’”

【解析】這篇短文中作者主要介紹了一名記者采訪了紐約當(dāng)?shù)氐娜齻�(gè)著名人士，詢問他們對(duì)人物的重要性的認(rèn)識(shí)；三人各自表達(dá)了自己不同的觀點(diǎn)。
⑴細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第一段開頭一句a television reporter was interviewing three of the most important people from local businesses.及最后一句the third owned many buildings in the center of New York.可知，其中一名受訪者是來自于紐約中心的房產(chǎn)商人，由此可推出故事發(fā)生在美國；故選B。
⑵推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文第五段“Do you agree with that?” she asked.可知，記者是一名女記者；第七段The reporter turned to the third man. “Do you think so?”和第九段the reporter and the other two men asked.可知，受訪的三位是男性；故選D。
⑶細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第六段The man shook his head,可知，兩人的觀點(diǎn)是相矛盾的；故選B。
⑷細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第六段的描述可知，當(dāng)總統(tǒng)寧愿接待來客而不愿接來自于外國總統(tǒng)的電話時(shí)，表明該來客是很重要的；故選C。
⑸詞義猜測題。根據(jù)短文最后一段I think if the visitor to the White House was talking to the President and the phone rang, 內(nèi)容可知，當(dāng)時(shí)在白宮里交談的只有兩個(gè)人，由此可知you指的就是the visitor to the White House，故選D。
