1. At what time was the story set?
A. An early winter morning.
B. A cold winter afternoon.
C. An early summer morning.
D. A windy summer afternoon.
答案解析:答案为A。本题为细节推理题。由第一段提到的“a cold damp wind”和第二段首句中提到的“at that early hour” 可以推断,故事发生在冬天的大清早。 故答案为A。
2. Which of the following words best describe the writer’s impression of the town?
A. Cold and frightening.
B. Dirty and crowded.
C. Empty and dead.
D. Unusual and unpleasant.
答案解析:答案为C。本题为细节推理题。由第二段 “…but the town was completely dead. The only living thing I saw was a thin frightened cat outside a small restaurant.”可知,小镇完全死气沉沉,唯一看到活着的东西就是小餐馆外一只消瘦、胆怯的猫,可以推断,小镇给作者的印象就是空荡和死气沉沉。故答案为C。
3. The underlined word “trickling” in the last paragraph probably means_________.
A. rushing out suddenly
B. shining brightly
C. flowing slowly in drops
D. appearing slowly in a red color
答案解析:答案为C。本题为词义猜测题。通过第三段的描写,作者透过公用电话亭脏兮兮的玻璃看到里面有个人,他胖胖的,穿着一件便宜的蓝色塑料雨衣,看不到脸,听到作者脚步声的时候他甚至连头都没抬一下,当作者在门外等候的时候,点燃了一支烟,当他把熄灭的火柴扔到地上的时候,注意到电话亭门下面有鲜红的东西从门下面….四个选项中,A选项意思离文意最远,故排除。文中第一、二段提到的 “a cold damp wind”、 “It had rained in the night and water was dripping from the bare trees that lined the street.”和“but the town was completely dead.”等都是在衬托小镇的凄凉和可怕,因此可以推断,那红色的东西是电话亭里的人被谋杀后流出的鲜血,故“trickling”意思最接近C选项“一滴滴慢慢地流着”。
