Question

【題目】 Joe wanted a computer. He asked his parents for the money and they said he must get it himself. But how did he get it? He thought about this when he walked home. Not many people wanted to asked children to work for them. Maybe he could take away snow for the neighbors. But this was not winter. He had to wait a long time for that. Maybe he could cut grass for their gardens. But he had no tools to do the work with. He needed some other money to buy tools. He thought over and over again, but he got no result.

Then he saw one of his classmates, Dick, delivering newspapers. “I could do that, too.” He thought. “Maybe I could even get the computer right away. I could pay for it a little each week.” He ran to catch up with Dick and asked him a lot of questions. He learned that it was possible to get twenty-five dollars each week and that the job took him about three hours each night. Then Dick gave him the phone number of the newspaper manager.

Joe almost flew home. After he told his mother what he thought, she smiled. “I think it is a great idea.” She said, 'I'll call the newspaper manager.”

“Wait, Mum,” Joe said, “I’ll call. After that, I’m going to be a businessman now.”

Joe’s mother smiled happily.

【解析】

文章大意：本文講Joe想要一臺(tái)電腦，他的父母說他必須自己賺錢買電腦，他想了很多能賺錢的方法卻都行不通，后來看到Dick在送報(bào)紙，咨詢后決定靠送報(bào)紙來賺錢買電腦。

【1】詞句猜測題。根據(jù)畫線詞所在語境“He asked his parents for the money and they said he must get it himself. But how did he get it? He thought about this when he walked home.”可知父母說他必須自己賺錢，他在路上是在想“But how did he get it?”，由此可知this指代賺錢，即getting money。故選B。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第2段中“Then he saw one of his classmates, Dick, delivering newspapers. ‘I could do that, too.’ He thought.”可知Joe看到Dick送報(bào)紙后覺得自己也能做那個(gè)。故選A。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第1、2段中“Maybe he could take away snow for the neighbors. …Maybe he could cut grass for their gardens. … Then he saw one of his classmates, Dick, delivering newspapers.”可知文中提到了為鄰居鏟雪、給花園割草和送報(bào)三種工作。故選B。

【4】標(biāo)題歸納題。根據(jù)“Joe wanted a computer.”及全文內(nèi)容可知文章主要講Joe為買一臺(tái)電腦而計(jì)劃去工作，最后選擇作一名送報(bào)員去賺錢買電腦，這一切都是為了買電腦而做的計(jì)劃，用“Joe’s plan to get a computer”做標(biāo)題最合適。故選D。
