B hewantedthecoupletosenditback
C heusedittoaskforaChristmastip
D hewasafraidofaskingforatipinperson
【正确答案】:
C
【本题分数】:
1.0分
【答案解析】
[解析]由第一段可知,这张卡片是送报人的,我们被暗示:
要填好卡片投递,当你的服务在凌晨四点就被奉上时,你不能若无其事,你必须要直接点,他想要的是假期小费。
因此正确答案为C。
第2题
Fromthepassage,welearnthattheauthor
A didn'tlikeRaoul'swayofdeliveringthepaper
B didn'trealizewhyRaouldeliveredthepaperthatway
C didn'tknowthatRaoulcameveryearlyinthemorning
D didn'tfeelitnecessarytomeetRaoulwhenhecame
【正确答案】:
A
【本题分数】:
1.0分
【答案解析】
[解析]第二段中女主人写了一封漂亮的假期贺词给这个她从来没看到或遇到过的人。
这个人在她的想象里就是像射击一样把《纽约时报》发射到她家门前,制造的噪声要大于人们从黑市购得的鞭炮的声响。
所以她确实不喜欢拉乌尔投递报纸的这种方式。
因此正确答案为A。
第3题
Accordingtothepassage,theauthorfelt togiveRaoulaholidaytip.
A excited
B delighted
C embarrassed
D forced
【正确答案】:
D
【本题分数】:
1.0分
【答案解析】
[解析]在第三段中女主人公意识到也许在四点的服务的原因是经过精心策划的而不是随意粗鲁的习惯,假期小费从随意的一句谢谢发展成为黑社会的保护勒索,所以作者是被迫的给假期小费的。
因此正确答案为D。
第4题
WhichofthefollowingisCORRECTaboutMickey,thegarbagecollector?
A Hewrotealettertothecoupleafterwards.
B Hefailedtocollectthemoneyfromthebank.
C HewantedthecoupletosendhimaChristmascard.
D Hecollectedboththecheekandthegarbagethatday.
【正确答案】:
B
【本题分数】:
1.0分
【答案解析】
[解析]从第五段中描述到,看到装着支票的信封没有了,但是垃圾还在,所以作者的丈夫怀疑信封是被别人偷走了,立马就通知银行作废了这张支票。
所以Mickey最终还是没有从银行中取走钱。
因此正确答案为B。
第5题
