Having returned from her round trip (往返旅程), the angry woman stood outside the ticket office of the station. “The railway owes (應給予) me£12,” she said to Harry Jenks, the young man working at the office, “you sold me a ticket for May 22nd, but there was no ship from Jersey that night. So my daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It cost me £12.”

Harry was worried. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. “Come into the office, madam,” he said politely, “I’ll just check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd.”

The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered. There was no sailing on May 22nd. How could he have made such a careless mistake? He shouldn’t have sold her a ticket for that day. Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child. “You look sunburnt,” he said to her. “Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey?”

“Yes,” She answered, shyly. “The beach was lovely. And I can swim too!”

“That’s fine,” said Harry. “My little girl can’t swim a bit yet. Of course, she’s only three…”

“I’m four,” the child said proudly. “I’ll be four and a half.” Harry turned to the mother. “I remember your ticket, madam,” he said. “But you didn’t get one for your daughter, did you?”

“Err, well…” the woman looked at the child. “I mean… she hasn’t started school yet. She’s only four.”

“A four-year-old child must have a ticket, madam. A child’s return ticket to Jersey costs… let me see…£13.50. So if the railway pays your hotel, you will owe £1.50. The law is the law, but since the fault was mine…”

The woman stood up, took the child’s hand and left the office.

1.The woman was angry because__________.

A.she couldn’t use the ticket for her round trip

B.she had to return home a day earlier than she had planned

B.because he had a little girl about the same age as this girl

C.because he wanted to be friendly to the little girl who looked so nice

D.when he suddenly realized that he could find a way out from the little girl

3.The woman left the office without saying anything because__________.

A.she wanted to go home and get money for the child’s ticket

【解析】

試題分析:這篇短文中的女士因為售票員給錯了她票而指責售票員,結果在售票員與小女孩的對話中得知小女孩沒有買票就做了火車,從而改變了自己被動的局面,讓這個女人知難而退。

1.根據短文第一段描述,可知這個女人生氣的原因是住旅館多花了錢,故選C。

2.根據How could he have made such a careless mistake? He shouldn’t have sold her a ticket for that day. Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child. “You look sunburnt,” he said to her. “Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey?”描述,可知他此時不知道該如何做。故選A。

3.通過短文后半部分描述,可知這個小女孩沒有買票就做了火車,所以如果這女人如果在堅持的話,她就得給小女孩補票。故選D。

考點:關于一個售票員和乘客的記述文閱讀

點評:本文淺顯易懂,層次分明,學生很容易把握文中中心內容。答題中注意帶著問題閱讀短文,一般就能順利找出答題依據。對于不能直接找到根據的問題注意聯(lián)系上下文,根據短文中心總結出正確答案。
