Question

【題目】Dear Sir or Madam，

Last Thursday， I traveled on the 8:00 a.m. train from Glasgow to London King’s Cross and I was quite angry with the service of your company.

The train didn’t come on time and it was forty minutes late when it left Glasgow. A man at the station said sorry to us， but he didn’t give us any reasons for the delay (誤點(diǎn)) . We then had further delays on the way and had to wait another thirty minutes. As a result， I missed my plane from London to Frankfurt and had to wait for several hours.

What’s more， the service on the train was also very poor. The trip took more than five hours. Unluckily， we could buy nothing but some soft drinks on the train. Worst of all， something was wrong with the air conditioning (空調(diào)系統(tǒng)) and it got hotter and hotter in the train. Before we reached King’s Cross， the temperature was over 40°C.

Because of your poor service， I feel you should pay me compensation (賠償).

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully

David Roberson

試題分析：短文大意：這是一篇投訴信，原因是由于火車晚點(diǎn)40分鐘使作者耽誤了自己的飛機(jī)，而且火車上的服務(wù)非常差，作者希望得到賠償。

【1】B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章The train didn’t come on time and it was forty minutes late when it left Glasgow.可知火車離開格拉斯哥的時(shí)候是40分鐘之后，就是8點(diǎn)40.故選B。

【2】A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章I missed my plane from London to Frankfurt and had to wait for several hours.可知作者是乘坐飛機(jī)從倫敦到法蘭克福市。故選A。

【3】D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章The trip took more than five hours.可知作者在火車上度過(guò)了5個(gè)小時(shí)。故選D。

【4】C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章we could buy nothing but some soft drinks on the train.可知作者在火車上只能買軟飲料。故選C。

【5】B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章可知，這是一封投訴信，不是一封感謝信。故A正確。作者的旅途很不高興。故B錯(cuò)誤 火車上的服務(wù)非常差。故C正確。故本題選B。
