Question

【題目】閱讀理解
A
An Englishman was showing a foreign visitor around London.“What's that strange building?” asked the visitor.“That's the Tower (塔) of London.”“I see. How long did it take to build it?”“About 500 years.”“In my country we can build it in a few months.”said the visitor. After they came to St. Paul's Cathedral (大教堂), the visitor asked the same question. “Nearly forty years,”said the Englishman. “In my country we finish it in forty days at most,” said the visitor. This went on all day. They visited most of the best known buildings in the city. Every time they saw a new one, the visitor asked what it was and how long it took to build it. Then he said they could do the same thing much faster in his country. At last the Englishman got angry with the visitor though he tried not to show it. Several days later they came to the House of Parliament (議會) and the visitor asked his usual question, “What's that?” The Englishman answered, “I have no idea. It wasn't there last night.”

【解析】這是一個幽默故事，在被英國人領著參觀倫敦的著名建筑的時候，一個外國人總是吹噓說在他們國家建同樣的建筑會需要更短的時間，連著幾天一直這樣，英國人雖然很生氣，但是盡量不表露出來。在參股議會大廈的時候，英國人忍無可忍了，告訴那個參觀者說這個建筑是一夜之間建成的。
⑴推理判斷。根據(jù) An Englishman was showing a foreign visitor around London和下文中提到的倫敦塔、圣保羅大教堂、議會大廈等建筑可知英國人領著外賓參觀倫敦的一些著名建筑，所以答案是C。
⑵推理判斷。根據(jù)“In my country we can build it in a few months.”said the visitor可知參觀者說幾個月就可以建成這樣的建筑，也就是不到一年時間，所以答案是A。
⑶細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)This went on all day. They visited most of the best known buildings in the cit可知他們幾天一直在參觀倫敦大部分最著名的建筑，所以答案是D。
⑷細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)At last the Englishman got angry with the visitor though he tried not to show it可知盡管英國人很生氣，他還是盡量不表現(xiàn)出來，所以答案是D。
⑸細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)“I have no idea. It wasn't there last night.”可知英國人不想跟那個人說，同時暗示這棟建筑是一夜之間建成的，所以答案是C。
