通過閱讀短文我們可以知道史密斯先生是個(gè)愛喝酒的人，因?yàn)楹染茊栴}差點(diǎn)被解雇。在承諾不喝酒后，又因?yàn)楹染茽C傷了耳朵，很能被老板推斷出他又喝了酒的事實(shí)。所以他可能面臨被解雇的結(jié)局。
1.根據(jù)But he couldn’t work when he drank too much.And once he almost fell into the river可知選B。
2.根據(jù)I went to watch a football match yesterday和上文One Monday morning Mr Smith came into the office可知時(shí)間是星期日，故選D。
3.通過短文后半部分對(duì)史密斯兩只耳朵受傷原因的表述，可知他肯定是又喝了酒，正常人是不會(huì)犯下那樣的錯(cuò)誤的，故選A。
4.通過閱讀短文我們可以知道史密斯先生把烙鐵當(dāng)作了電話，雖然燙傷了兩只耳朵，但是只有一個(gè)烙鐵，故選C。
5.通過閱讀短文我們知道前面史密斯已經(jīng)承諾不再喝酒，從他耳朵燙傷這件事，布萊克先生很容易推斷出他又喝了酒。從四個(gè)選項(xiàng)的描述上來看，他被解雇的可能性最大，故選D。
考點(diǎn)：關(guān)于記述文的閱讀理解能力
點(diǎn)評(píng)：本文各小題出的很有針對(duì)性，答案需要根據(jù)相關(guān)信息推斷出來，故需要認(rèn)真閱讀短文，在讀懂全文后在著手回答問題。
