【題目】閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。
After returning from her round trip, the angry woman stood outside the ticket office of the station. “The railway owes me 12 pounds，” she said to Harry Jenks, the young man working at the office. “You sold me a ticket for May 22nd, but there was no ship from Jersey that night. So my daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It cost me 12 pounds.”
Harry was worried. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. “Come into the office, Madam，” he said politely. “I'll just check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd.”
The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered. There was no sailing on May 22nd. How could he have made such a careless mistake? He shouldn't have sold her a ticket for that day. Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child. “You look sunburnt，” he said to her. “Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey？”
“Yes，” she answered, shyly. “The beach was lovely. And I can swim too！”
“That's fine，” said Harry. “My little girl can't swim a bit yet. Of course，she's only three ...”
“I'm four，” the child said proudly. “I'll be four and a half.”
Harry turned to the mother. “I remember your ticket, Madam，” he said. “But you didn't get one for your daughter, did you？”
“Err, well ...” the woman looked at the child. “I mean …, she hasn't started school yet. She's only four.”
“A four-year-old child must have a ticket, Madam. A child's return ticket from Jersey costs .., let me see ... 13.50 pounds. The law is the law, but since the mistake is mine ...”
The woman stood up, took the child's hand and left the office.

【解析】本文是一篇記敘文。講述了一個女士帶孩子旅游途中發(fā)生的事情。
（1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一、二段的內(nèi)容，可知她生氣的主要原因是她多花了一宿住旅店的錢。故選C。
（2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child.”可知答案選A。
（3）考查句義猜測。根據(jù)上下文對事情和年輕的售票員思想過程的敘述，可知這句話的意思是：按規(guī)定那婦女要付小孩的票錢，但售票員也有錯。因此，他希望互相不追究，所以正確答案為D。
（4）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后年輕人的那段話，及那位婦女一句話都沒說，站起來，牽起小女孩的手就離開了票房這一事實(shí)，可以推理出那婦女的思想過程，即如果她要堅(jiān)持讓售票處賠她一晚住宿營費(fèi)的話，那么車站也可以按規(guī)定要她補(bǔ)買小女孩的票，這樣她就會多付1.5英鎊，因此，她也就不再堅(jiān)持了。選D。
