Question

Mrs. Baker’s sister was ill. She had someone to look after her from Monday to Friday, but not at the weekend, so every Friday evening Mrs. Baker used to go off to spend the weekend with her at her home in a neighbouring town. But as Mr. Baker could not cook, she had arranged (安排) for his sister to come over and spend the weekend looking after him at their home. This meant that Mr. Baker had busy time when he came home from work on Friday evenings. First he had to drive home from the railway station. Then he had to drive his wife to the station to catch her train. And then he had to wait until his sister’s train arrived, so as to take her to his house.
Of course, on Sunday evening he had to drive his sister to the station to catch her train back home, and then wait for his wife’s train, so as to bring her home.
One Sunday evening, he had seen his sister off on her train and was waiting for his wife’s arrival when a porter ( 搬運(yùn)工 ), who had often seen him at the station, came over and spoke to him, “You are having a lot of fun,” he said, “ But one day one of those women is going to catch you with the other, and then you will be in real trouble!”

解析試題分析：
【小題1】根據(jù)Mrs. Baker’s sister was ill.可知選D。
【小題2】根據(jù)so every Friday evening Mrs. Baker used to go off to spend the weekend with her at her home in a neighbouring town.可知在周末貝克太太親自照顧自己的妹妹，故選C。
【小題3】根據(jù)he had to drive his wife to the station to catch her train. And then he had to wait until his sister’s train arrived, so as to take her to his house.可知選A，因?yàn)樗�得送他的妻子和妹妹，接他們回家�?br />【小題4】通過(guò)閱讀短文可知貝克先生不會(huì)做飯，在周末由自己的妹妹來(lái)家里為自己做飯，故可知他在自己家，選A。

考點(diǎn)：考查記述文閱讀
點(diǎn)評(píng)：本文描述了妻子貝克太太的妹妹生病了，自己在周末去照顧她。丈夫不會(huì)做飯，妻子就安排丈夫的妹妹來(lái)給丈夫做飯。由于每周都重復(fù)這樣的故事，結(jié)果在車站被搬運(yùn)工誤會(huì)為這兩個(gè)人都是貝克先生的女朋友。本文邏輯性很強(qiáng)，閱讀中注意從關(guān)鍵詞理解句意，如：Mrs. Baker’s sister和for his sister to come over可知這是兩個(gè)妹妹，一個(gè)是妻子的，一個(gè)是丈夫的。還要注意進(jìn)行合理的分析推理，理解句意隱含的意義。
