Question

閱讀理解 　　Norah had a cottage on a cliff above a big bay．In winter it could be very nasty because of strong winds and sea spray．In fact, when a gale was blowing, Norah and her husband got used to sleeping in a small room downstairs, because their bedroom upstairs, which faced the gales, had a very big window, and they were afraid that an extra violent gust might break it and blow pieces of broken glass over them． 　　Also, the salt spray from the sea put an end to many of the colourful plants Norah planted in her garden．She tried putting up a fence to protect them, but the wind just hit it, went up over the top and then down the other side, so in the end she filled the garden with trees and bushes that liked salt． 　　But most of the summer Norah enjoyed her cottage and garden very much．At weekends she could sit out of doors in the sun, looking at the beautiful view, with interesting ships and boats passing by, and she could very easily cycle down to the sea for a swim． 　　Now, Norah and her husband had plenty of friends and relations．In the summer lots of them used to come to enjoy the beautiful place, and in the end it really became quite annoying for Norah and her husband．When they were at home, they found friends and relations arriving, expecting to be given unlimited drinks and meals, and to sit in the sun for hours, talking as if Norah and her husband had nothing else to do but entertain and listen to them． 　　This went on for several years．Norah did not wish to appear rude by refusing to let her friends and relations in, but on the other hand, she was getting tired every summer． 　　Then one day Norah was complaining about this to her hairdresser while she was doing her hair．“You're disturbed by too many uninvited guests, are you?”said the hairdresser．“Why don't you try my way of escaping?” 　　“What's that?”asked Norah． 　　“Well,”the hairdresser answered,“when the bell rings, I put on my coat and take my shopping bag．If it's someone I don't want to see, I say innocently, 'I'm sorry, but I've got to go out．'But…” (1) The underlined word“cycle”can be replaced by ________． [　　] A． ride by bike B． drive C． walk D． go by ship (2) We can infer that ________． [　　] A． a lot of friends came to visit them in winter B． few friends came to visit them in winter C． friends came to visit them only for drinks and meals D． Norah was a good cook (3) Which of the following is the best title?

I was going shopping, but now I've changed my mind．” D． If it is fine that day, I say,“I'm tired of this, but I'll show you around the place, anyhow．”

Answer 1

答案：1．A;2．B;3．C;4．B;
解析：

推斷題。此題考查考生的邏輯推斷能力，需要考生把握文章的邏輯關(guān)系。but暗示了前后結(jié)果和理由相反或不同。如果這個(gè)客人不大想見(jiàn)，就可以說(shuō)“我正準(zhǔn)備出去購(gòu)物”。如果這個(gè)客人確實(shí)想見(jiàn)，她就可以說(shuō)“我剛剛購(gòu)物回來(lái)”。故B項(xiàng)最佳。

提示：

(1)	詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)常識(shí)判斷，通常是騎車(chē)到海邊。?
(2)	推斷題。根據(jù)“In winter it could be very nasty because of strong winds and sea spray”可知，冬天這里的氣候條件非常惡劣，故來(lái)訪的客人肯定不多。
(3)	推斷題。這個(gè)美發(fā)師給她出的這個(gè)主意既可以使她擺脫招待太多客人的煩惱，又不會(huì)得罪客人，兩全其美，可謂良策。故C項(xiàng)最佳。
