Answer 1

【答案】

【1】C

【2】C

【3】B

【4】A

【5】C

【解析】这里有四篇短文，第一篇说的是Fred给Joe开玩笑说他没有通过数学考试；第二篇短文是Robert把钱给了一个老太太，而那个老太太是卖糖果的；第三篇讲的是George不喜欢他的新老师，因为这个老师一会儿说三加三等于六，一会儿又说二加四等于六；最后一篇短文说的是Tommy为了买一盒好的火柴，把每个火柴都试了一遍。

【1】细节理解题。根据第三篇短文中“I didn’t like her, because she said that three and three were six and then she said that two and four were six ,too...”可知，George说他的新老师说三加三等于六，然后又说二加四等于六，他觉得老师总是出错，故应选C。

【2】细节理解题。根据最后一篇短文中“Yes, mom.” Tommy replied, “I have tried them all..”可知，Tommy的妈妈让他买一盒好的火柴，所以他就把一盒火柴都试了一遍，看他们是不是好的火柴。因此应选C。

【3】细节理解题。根据第二篇短文中“She is the one who sells the candy!”可知，Robert把钱给了一个老太太，她是卖糖果的。由此可知Robert把钱去买糖果了，他喜欢吃糖果，故应选B。

【4】主旨大意题。这里有四篇短文，第一篇短文说的是Fred给Joe开了一个玩笑，说他没有通过数学考试；第二篇短文是Robert把钱给了一个老太太，而那个老太太是卖糖果的；第三篇讲的是George不喜欢他的新老师，因为这个老师一会儿说三加三等于六，一会儿又说二加四等于六；最后一篇短文说的是Tommy为了买一盒好的火柴，把每个火柴都试了一遍。因此我们可以知道第一篇短文不是一个笑话，故应选A。

【5】推理判断题。根据第一篇短文中I don’t know, Joe! It was a joke! I was pulling your leg, that’s all. A： Oh, dear. You mean you are kidding.可知，pull one’s leg的意思是开玩笑，故C是正确的。
