Question

【题目】 阅读短文，回答问题。（共5小题，每小题2分，计10分）

I might have been full of smart jokes, but I was pretty bad at everything else. What use would I be on the newspaper?

Working on the newspaper meant working with Tilly Turner.

Tilly was the editor and reporter and, unlike me, she was good at everything.

“Well, Magee, what sort of stories do you think we should be working on, for next week?” Tilly asked me, as we walked over to the newspaper room.

I shrugged. I never read the newspaper.

“So far we have stories on pets, and the new teacher, and something on Ms Cramble’s cuckoo clock collection,” she went on.

“Really?” I said.

It was no wonder I never read the newspaper.

Just then I saw something out of the corner of my eye. It looked like Brad Biggens sneaking into the office.

“Did you see that?” I hissed at Tilly.

She looked blank.

【解析】

试题分析：作者是很幽默的人，但其他任何事都做不好，而他的同事媞丽是一名出色编辑。本篇文章是作者与同事媞丽的一段对话。

【1】 细节理解题。本题问Tilly Turner是干什么的，从短文第四行“Tilly was the editor and reporter”可知她既是编辑(editor)也是记者(reporter)。

【2】细节理解题。根据短文中“Well, Magee”和“Tilly asked me”可知，作者的名字是“Magee”，又根据文章开头“I was pretty bad at everything else”可知，作者除了幽默其他的都不擅长，故应作否定回答。

【3】细节理解题。根据短文中“I never read the newspaper.”可知，作者从不看报纸。

【4】推理判断题。从短文中可知作者在和同事对话时用余晖看到了一件事，即“It looked like Brad Biggens sneaking into the office.”。作者的名字是“Magee”。

【5】 细节信息题。根据媞丽说的话“So far we have stories on pets, and the new teacher, and something on Ms Cramble’s cuckoo clock collection.”可知，迄今为止，他们的报导了有关“Pets, the new teacher and something on Ms Cramble’s cuckoo clock collection.”的内容。
