Question

阅读下面短文，根据所给语境，按要求完成下列各题。
A man came home from work late, tired, to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door.
“Daddy, how much money do you make an hour?”
“If you must know, I make $20 an hour,”
“Oh,” the little boy replied, with his head down. He thought for a moment, looked up and said, “Daddy, could you lend me $10?”
The father was furious, “If you asked for the money to buy a toy or some other rubbish, then go straight to your room and think about why you are being so selfish（自私的）!”
The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. After about an hour or so, the father calmed（平静）down, and started to think, “Maybe he really needs to buy something and he didn’t really ask for money very often.” So he went to the little boy’s room.
“Sorry! Maybe I was too hard on you just now.” said the man, “Here’s $10.”
“Oh, thank you, Daddy!” he said happily. Then, the boy took out some coins. When the father found that the boy already had money, he got angry again.
“Why do you want more money since you already have some?” the father shouted angrily.
“Because I didn’t have enough, but now I do.” the little boy replied, “Daddy, I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.”

Answer 1

小题1:T
小题2:an hour of his father’s time
小题3:160 dollars.
小题4:Because he thought his son wanted to buy a toy or some other rubbish.
小题5:既然你有一些钱，为什么还要更多的钱呢？

试题分析：这篇短文讲述的是一个故事，故事中的一个男孩想跟父亲借10美元钱，这样他就能凑够20美元，来买他爸爸一个小时的时间，因为他爸爸每个小时可以挣20美元，他想让他爸爸陪他吃晚饭。
小题1:根据短文的大意可知，故事中的孩子想用20美元买他爸爸一个小时的时间，让他爸爸陪他一起吃晚饭，由此我们可以看出，平时他爸爸因为工作忙，没有多少时间陪他吃饭。故这句话说得是正确的。
小题2:根据短文的最后部分，孩子说的话Daddy, I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time?可知，这个孩子有了20美元钱，他想用这个钱买他爸爸一个小时的时间，让他陪他吃晚饭。故这里应该填an hour of his father’s time。
小题3:根据文章中I make $20 an hour,可知，故事中小男孩的爸爸一个小时挣20美元，故一天8个小时应该是可以挣160美元。
小题4:根据短文中The father was furious, “If you asked for the money to buy a toy or some other rubbish, then go straight to your room and think about why you are being so selfish可知，当父亲听到男孩借10美元钱的时候，他以为孩子想买玩具或其他没有用的东西，所以他很生气。
小题5:这句话中的since 的意思是既然，引导原因状语从句；want more money 想要更多的钱。所以这句话的意思是既然你已经有一些钱，为什么还要更多的钱呢？这里是父亲不明白孩子想要干什么。
