Question

【題目】閱讀下面短文, 按要求完成下列各題。

Peter was an inventor. His job was to invent new things, and he worked when he had an idea. His workroom was in his house, so he could work whenever he wanted to. Sometimes he worked seven days a week and sometimes he didn’t work for days. He did all his work right at home, but he left the house to go to meetings sometimes.

Peter usually got up at about five o’clock. He made some tea and started to work at six. He drank tea all day--he couldn’t work without it --but he didn’t eat anything until in the evening.

First, Peter cleaned the workroom and turned on the answer-phone because he couldn’t talk to people when he had an idea. Then he started to work. He usually had a rest after two or three hours, but he didn’t leave the workroom. He did something different to help him relax. Sometimes he did some exercise, and sometimes he listened to music. He usually stopped working at about nine o'clock in the evening. He thought about his work most of the time, even when he was out. He was interested in what was around him and he liked looking for new ideas and new problems to solve.

【解析】

本文通過(guò)介紹Peter是個(gè)工作努力，不浪費(fèi)時(shí)間的發(fā)明家，來(lái)告誡人們珍惜時(shí)間。

【1】根據(jù)原文Peter was an inventor可知Peter是個(gè)發(fā)明家，故答案是He was an inventor。

【2】根據(jù)原文First, Peter cleaned the workroom and turned on the answer-phone because he couldn’t talk to people when he had an idea.因當(dāng)他有一個(gè)想法時(shí)，他不能和別人交談，所以打開了答錄機(jī)，故答案是Because he couldn’t talk to people when he had an idea。

【3】根據(jù)原文He usually stopped working at about nine o'clock in the evening.可知他通常在晚上九點(diǎn)鐘左右停止工作。故答案是At about nine o’clock in the evening。

【4】in his house在他家里，和原文的He did all his work right at home 中的at home在家，意思一致，故答案是at home。

【5】根據(jù)原文He drank tea all day--he couldn’t work without it --but he didn’t eat anything until in the evening.可知這里的人稱代詞it指代的是前文出現(xiàn)的tea，故答案是tea。
