Answer 1

【答案】

【1】B

【2】C

【3】D

【4】A

【5】C

【解析】

短文主要講述戴安娜下班后獨(dú)自駕車(chē)駛往朋友丹尼爾家的途中發(fā)生的一件趣事。

【1】句意：選擇整個(gè)故事的正確順序。

段落排序題。根據(jù)所給選項(xiàng)，假設(shè)故事首段是a段，則b、c、e三段聯(lián)系不緊密，邏輯混亂，所以排除C項(xiàng)。再假設(shè)故事首段是c段：c段末句描述戴安娜在辦公室辛苦了一天之后，一邊聽(tīng)收音機(jī)，一邊開(kāi)始釋放自己。接著，a段首句的過(guò)渡詞suddenly（突然），承上啟下，把上文和諧舒適的氛圍帶入到了緊張的氛圍。a段末句說(shuō)：So she got back in the car.（所以她回到車(chē)?yán)铮�。那么故事接下�?lái)應(yīng)該是“繼續(xù)行駛”（Diana went on with her drive.）。所以故事就由a段到了b段。b段描述，一輛黑色卡車(chē)緊隨戴安娜的車(chē)，戴安娜又聽(tīng)了廣播里有關(guān)“兇手”的報(bào)道，這些讓戴安娜感到十分恐懼，于是她就加速行駛（She began to drive faster），這就到了e段。故事的最后就是d段——真相大白：高個(gè)子卡車(chē)司機(jī)不是戴安娜認(rèn)為的“兇手”而是丹尼爾的爸爸。故選B。

【2】句意：戴安娜開(kāi)車(chē)到她朋友家要花費(fèi)一個(gè)多小時(shí)。

推理判斷題。首段第二句說(shuō)：It was six o’clock and people were going home from work.六點(diǎn)，人們正下班回家。短文b段說(shuō)：Then the seven o’clock news started on the radio.（車(chē)上）廣播里七點(diǎn)的新聞開(kāi)始了。由此可判斷，戴安娜到達(dá)朋友家要花費(fèi)一個(gè)多小時(shí)。故選C。

【3】句意：戴安娜聽(tīng)了新聞后感到更害怕。

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。短文b段第四句說(shuō)：She began to feel a bit afraid.（她開(kāi)始感到有點(diǎn)害怕。）然后，廣播里7點(diǎn)的新聞報(bào)道有關(guān)“兇手”的新聞。她感到真的害怕了。（Now Diana was really afraid.）由此可知，“戴安娜聽(tīng)了新聞后感到更害怕�！惫蔬xD。

【4】句意：戴安娜在銀行工作。

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。短文首段第三句說(shuō)：Diana left her bank in a hurry...戴安娜匆忙離開(kāi)了銀行……由此可知，戴安娜在銀行工作。故選A。

【5】句意：為什么那個(gè)高個(gè)子男人把卡車(chē)停在戴安娜的車(chē)旁？因?yàn)樗�到家了�?/span>

推理判斷題題。短文d段最后一句說(shuō)：A tall man got out. It was Daniel’s father.一個(gè)高個(gè)子男人下車(chē)。他是丹尼爾的爸爸。由此可判斷，丹尼爾的爸爸到家了，就把車(chē)停在戴安娜的車(chē)旁。故選C。
