In the days when an ice cream sundae(加水果或奶油的较贵的)cost much less, a 10-year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress (woman assistant) put a glass of water in front of him. “How much is an ice cream sundae?” “Fifty cents”, replied the waitress. The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and studied a number of coins in it. “How much is a dish of plain ice cream?” he asked. Some people were now waiting for a table and the waitress was a bit worried. “Thirty-five cents,” she said rudely(not politely). The little boy again counted the coins. “I’ll have the plain ice cream,” he said. The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the table and walked away. The boy finished the ice cream, paid the bill at the counter(柜台)and went out. When the waitress came back, she began cleaning the table and then she couldn’t believe what she had seen. There, placed nearly beside the empty dish, were two five-cent coins and five one-cent coins---her tip(小费).

试题分析:这篇短文主要描述了一位咖啡店女服务员对代一位10岁小男孩订冰淇淋的前后态度变化以及这位小男孩表现出的绅士风度。
小题1:词义猜测题。根据短文女服务员和小男孩的对话“How much is an ice cream sundae?” “Fifty cents”, replied the waitress。“How much is a dish of plain ice cream?” he asked.“Thirty-five cents,” she said rudely(not politely),“ll have the plain ice cream”的描述可知,较贵的冰淇淋需要50美分,普通的只需35美分。故选B。
小题2:细节理解题。根据短文“How much is an ice cream sundae?” “Fifty cents”, replied the waitress. “How much is a dish of plain ice cream?” he asked. “Thirty-five cents,” she said rudely(not politely)的描述.较贵的冰淇淋需要50美分,普通的只需35美分。由此可计算较贵的比较普通的冰淇淋贵15美分。故选B。
小题3:细节理解题。根据短文The boy finished the ice cream, paid the bill at the counter以及There, placed nearly beside the empty dish, were two five-cent coins and five one-cent coins---her tip的描述,小男孩除了付35美分的账外,还给了女服务员15美分的小费,由此可知,小男孩口袋里有50美分。故选A。
小题4:细节理解题。联系上下文可知,小男孩对口袋里的钱数了又数,要了一个普通的冰淇淋,目的是为了留下一点小费给服务员。故选D。
小题5:判断推理题。联系上下文,女服务员对小男孩无礼在先,当看到碟子旁边的小费,she couldn’t believe what she had seen的描述可知,她应该感到羞愧。故选B。
