Question

(A) Have you ever had an embarrassing（尷尬的）experience?
Tony: I had just started teaching in a Liverpool secondary school. One morning my alarm clock didn't ring. I woke up at half past eight and school began at nine. I quickly washed, dressed, jumped into my car and rushed to school. When I arrived, the students had already gone into class. I went straight into class. After two or three minutes the students began laughing and laughing! Why? Suddenly I looked down and understood. I had put on one black shoe and one brown shoe!
Henry: After seeing a film, we decided to walk along the street. The street was very busy and we started holding hands. Suddenly my wife saw a dress that she liked in a shop window, and stopped. I started looking at some watches in the next window. After a minute or two I reached for my wife's hand. There was a loud scream(尖叫), and a girl slapped(摑) my face！I hadn't taken my wife's hand. I'd taken the hand of a girl!
James: I had decided to buy a new house, and I'd made an appointment (約定)to see our bank manager. I'd never met him before. I was lucky enough to find a parking space outside the bank. I'd just started reversing(倒車) into the space when another car made its way into it. I was so angry! I shouted at the man in the car. He ignored(不理) me and walked away. It took me twenty minutes to find another place. I was ten minutes late for my appointment. I went to the manager's office, knocked and walked in. The manager was sitting behind his desk. He was the man who had taken my parking space!

解析試題分析：這篇短文中三個(gè)人Tom、Henry和James，給我們講述了他們的生活中發(fā)生過的讓他們感到尷尬的事情。我們可以根據(jù)題目的問題去相應(yīng)的段落中尋找有用信息。
【小題1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第一段中Tom講述的內(nèi)容中I had just started teaching in a Liverpool secondary school可知，他是剛剛開始在利物浦的一個(gè)中學(xué)里教書。由此我們可以知道，他是一個(gè)年輕的老師，故選D。
【小題2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第一段中Tom講述的內(nèi)容中After two or three minutes the students began laughing and laughing! Why? Suddenly I looked down and understood. I had put on one black shoe and one brown shoe!可知，Tom來到教室后，過了兩、三分鐘，學(xué)生們開始笑了起來，原來是Tom穿錯(cuò)了鞋。故選A。
【小題3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第二段Henry講述的內(nèi)容中After a minute or two I reached for my wife's hand. There was a loud scream(尖叫), and a girl slapped(摑) my face！I hadn't taken my wife's hand. I'd taken the hand of a girl! 可知，令他感到尷尬的事情是他錯(cuò)牽了其他女孩的手。故選C。
【小題4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第三段中James講述的內(nèi)容中I had decided to buy a new house, and I'd made an appointment (約定)to see our bank manager.可知，他決定買一座新房子，約好了去見銀行的經(jīng)理。故他去鎮(zhèn)里是去見銀行經(jīng)理的，故選B。
【小題5】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第三段中James講述的內(nèi)容中可知，James約好了去鎮(zhèn)里見銀行的經(jīng)理，但是他在停車的時(shí)候被另外一個(gè)人先占了位子，最后導(dǎo)致他遲到了十分鐘。等他見了那個(gè)經(jīng)理時(shí)，他發(fā)現(xiàn)那個(gè)人就是和他搶停車位的人。最后James沒有告訴我們結(jié)果怎樣了，故應(yīng)該選D。
考點(diǎn)：日常生活類短文閱讀。
