Question

【題目】閱讀理解

Rose's husband, George, was in prison for two years for stealing. While he was in prison, Rose had a very difficult time. She had two children, but no job. Her husband did not make any money either. She only had a small amount money from the government.
“I don't know how we will manage. Life is so difficult for us,” she wrote to her husband in prison. “I get only enough money to pay the rent (房租). There isn't enough money for food. I have to plant vegetables in the garden. They will grow quickly. We can live on vegetables.”
The garden was quite large, and much of it was covered with grass.
When George received his wife's letter, he wrote to her immediately.
“Don't dig up the garden,” he wrote. “That's where the money I stole is hidden.”
All letters written by the prisoners were read by one of the guards (守衛(wèi)) before they were mailed.
When the guard read George5 s letter, he took it to the head guard. When the head guard read it, he telephoned the police. He told them what George had written to his wife.
The police went to George's house at once. They dug up the garden, looking for the money, but they did not find anything.
When they had gone, Rose wrote to her husband. “The police came today,” she wrote. “They dug up the garden. What should I do?”
Her husband wrote back immediately, “Plant the vegetables.”

【解析】短文大意：George因為偷竊而坐牢兩年，因為沒有錢，妻子只能靠政府和種在院子里的蔬菜維持生活，院子很大，大部分地方長滿了草，在和妻子通信的過程中，George在信中寫道錢被埋在院子里，警察讀到信后去他的院子里挖錢，結(jié)果什么也沒有，原來George的目的是想讓警察們挖這個院子，這樣妻子就可以種菜了。
（1）細節(jié)判斷題。從 Her husband did not make any money either.可知George沒有賺錢，故D錯誤。
（2）細節(jié)判斷題。從I get only enough money to pay the rent (房租). 可知只有錢付房租，故選A。
（3）詞義推測題。they在此處指的是信件，故選C。
（4）細節(jié)理解題。從最后的對話They dug up the garden. What should I do?”Her husband wrote back immediately, “Plant the vegetables.可知他丈夫的目的是想讓警察們挖院子種蔬菜。故選A。
