分析 這篇短文講述的是Frank在公司經常受老板的氣,但是有一天他受到一封信說他中了50萬的獎,他很高興,終于不會再受老板的氣了.當老板再次批評他的時候,他毅然決然的辭職了.但是當天晚上,兩個人來到Frank的家告訴他,他們犯了一個錯誤…
解答 29.D 推理判斷題.根據文章中第一段的這句話a boss who shouts at me all the time."可知,Frank的老板總是對他大聲喊叫,所以我們可以推測出Frank和老板的關系不是很好.故選D.
30.B 推理判斷題.根據文章的最后一段,當Frank聽到敲門聲時,他rush to the door,他沖到了門那,可見他非常的興奮,加上他意為自己中了大獎,所以他應該是以為是他的朋友們來祝賀他來了.故選B.A意為有人來道歉;D意為他的同事來祝賀他;C意為他的鄰居來詢問足球彩票的事.這些選項都不符合文意.
31.C 推理判斷題.根據文意可知,Frank以為自己中了50萬的大獎,所以當Bigwoods Football Pools的人來到家里,并且說他們犯了一個錯誤的時候,Frank應該是感到很緊張,他害怕是自己中獎的事有什么出錯的地方.故選C.因為這里Bigwoods Football Pools的人還沒有說是什么事情,故不應該是disappointed 失望或worried 擔心;curious 好奇的.不符合文意.
