Question

【題目】 閱讀短文，回答問題。（共5小題，每小題2分，計10分）

I might have been full of smart jokes, but I was pretty bad at everything else. What use would I be on the newspaper?

Working on the newspaper meant working with Tilly Turner.

Tilly was the editor and reporter and, unlike me, she was good at everything.

“Well, Magee, what sort of stories do you think we should be working on, for next week?” Tilly asked me, as we walked over to the newspaper room.

I shrugged. I never read the newspaper.

“So far we have stories on pets, and the new teacher, and something on Ms Cramble’s cuckoo clock collection,” she went on.

“Really?” I said.

It was no wonder I never read the newspaper.

Just then I saw something out of the corner of my eye. It looked like Brad Biggens sneaking into the office.

“Did you see that?” I hissed at Tilly.

She looked blank.

【解析】

試題分析：作者是很幽默的人，但其他任何事都做不好，而他的同事媞麗是一名出色編輯。本篇文章是作者與同事媞麗的一段對話。

【1】 細節(jié)理解題。本題問Tilly Turner是干什么的，從短文第四行“Tilly was the editor and reporter”可知她既是編輯(editor)也是記者(reporter)。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文中“Well, Magee”和“Tilly asked me”可知，作者的名字是“Magee”，又根據(jù)文章開頭“I was pretty bad at everything else”可知，作者除了幽默其他的都不擅長，故應作否定回答。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文中“I never read the newspaper.”可知，作者從不看報紙。

【4】推理判斷題。從短文中可知作者在和同事對話時用余暉看到了一件事，即“It looked like Brad Biggens sneaking into the office.”。作者的名字是“Magee”。

【5】 細節(jié)信息題。根據(jù)媞麗說的話“So far we have stories on pets, and the new teacher, and something on Ms Cramble’s cuckoo clock collection.”可知，迄今為止，他們的報導了有關“Pets, the new teacher and something on Ms Cramble’s cuckoo clock collection.”的內(nèi)容。
