"What time is your bus?" asked Mike. "There's plenty of time yet," answered Tom."Well, I'll get you some more tea then," said Mike.They talked while drinking. Then Tom looked at the clock again. "Oh! It's going backward（倒行）!" he cried. "A few minutes ago it was twenty to twelve and now it's half past eleven."

文章講述了Tom看鏡子里的鐘的時間，而錯過了上車時間，從此他再也不喜歡鏡子了.

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)Tom arrived at the bus station quite early，The bus for Paris would not leave until five to twelve湯姆很早就到達(dá)了汽車站。去巴黎的公共汽車要到11：55才開�？芍�Tom打算去巴黎，故選C。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)He saw a lot of people waiting in the station.Some were standing in line， others were walking around. There was a group of schoolgirls.Their teacher was trying to keep them in line.他看見許多人在車站等著。一些人站在隊伍中，另一些人在四處走動。有一群女學(xué)生，她們的老師試圖讓她們站成一隊，故選D。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)He walked into the station café. He looked up at the clock there. It was only twenty to twelve. He found a seat and sat down before a large mirror（鏡子） on the wall.他走進了車站的咖啡館。他抬頭看了看那里的鐘。當(dāng)時只有11：40，他找到了一個座位，可知選項B敘述正確，故選B。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)He walked into the station café. He looked up at the clock there. It was only twenty to twelve. He found a seat and sat down before a large mirror（鏡子） on the wall.可知他找到一個座位，他走進了車站的咖啡館。他抬頭看了看那里的鐘。當(dāng)時只有11：40，他找到了一個座位，坐在大鏡子前，可知他只看了一次鏡子里的鐘的時間，故選D。

【5】主旨大意題，根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容，Tom看鏡子里的鐘的時間，導(dǎo)致誤了上車時間的故事，所以"鏡子里的鐘"符合文章大意，故選D。
