Question

Frank Smithson woke up and got up to turn off the alarm clock(鬧鐘). “Oh no!” he thought to himself. “Another day at that office; a boss (老板) who shouts at me all the time.”

As Frank went downstairs, his eyes fell on a large brown envelope (信封) by the door. He was very happy when he opened it and read the letter inside. “Bigwoods Football Pools (足球賭博公司) would like to congratulate you. You have won half a million pounds（英鎊）.”

Frank suddenly came to life. The cigarette fell from his lips (唇) as he let out a shout that could be heard halfway down the street.

At 11:30 Frank arrived at work. “Please explain why you're so late,” his boss said. “Go and jump in the lake,” said Frank. “I've just come into a little money so this is good-bye. Find yourself someone else to shout at.”

That evening Frank was smoking a very expensive Havana cigar (雪茄) when a knock was heard on the door. He rushed to the door. Outside were two men, neatly dressed in grey suits. “Mr. Smithson,” one of them said, “we're from Bigwoods Pools. I'm afraid there's been a terrible mistake…”

試題分析：這篇短文為我們講述了一個關于Frank的故事。Frank在公司里總是挨老板的罵。有一天他收到了一個足球賭博公司的信，信上說他中了很多錢。Frank很高興，在老板又要責罵他的時候，他毫不猶豫的進行了反擊。但是那天晚上兩個人來找Frank，說那個足球賭博公司可能寄錯了信。

1.推理判讀題。根據(jù)文章的第一句話Frank Smithson woke up and got up to turn off the alarm clock，F(xiàn)rank醒來關掉鬧鐘，由此我們可以推斷Frank是一個比較懶惰的人。B選項說他是一個幸運的人，由故事的結(jié)尾我們可以知道他并不幸運；C選項說他賺了很多錢，由故事的結(jié)尾我們也可以知道這不是真的；D選項說他和老板相處的好，由文章的意思我們知道這是不對的。故選A。

2.推理判讀題。根據(jù)文章的最后when a knock was heard on the door. He rushed to the door.當Frank聽到敲門聲的時候他沖到了門邊，我們可以推斷出Frank心情很激動，所以他一定是認為他中了很多錢，現(xiàn)在是送錢的人來了。故選B。

3.推理判讀題。當聽到…there's been a terrible mistake…,有一個可怕的錯誤的時候，F(xiàn)rank感覺怎樣。我們首先推斷一下這個錯誤是什么，之前我們知道Frank以為自己中了獎，但現(xiàn)在這個足球賭博公司的人卻說他們犯了一個錯誤，那么這個錯誤肯定跟他的中獎有關，既然錯了，那么也就是說其實Frank并沒有中獎，所以這個時候Frank應該是感到很失望，故選A。

考點：故事類短文閱讀。
