閱讀理解

　　It was almost two. A cold wind had come up over the lake. As a black cloud moved across the sun, Walt, a small boy, looked up. “I smell a storm(暴風雨),” he thought.

　　Shortly, a man of forty, had gone into town. He had said he would be back before two. He had told Walt to watch the boats and the shop. There were no people around. They had all gone out on the lake to fish.

　　So Walt went to work on one of the boats. From there he could hear the telephone if it rang. And he could watch the door.

　　It was after two when the stranger came. Walt saw him stop by the shop. The stranger looked in for a minute. Then he went down to the boats. He was a big man in a coat.

　　Walt called to him, “Do you want something, sir?”

　　The stranger looked at Walt and said, “No, thanks.” Then the stranger moved slowly away. As he went on, he looked at the boats one by one.

　　Walt sat there with his eyes on the back of the stranger's coat. He thought, “I can smell something as I smell that storm. I hope Shortly comes back soon.”

Answer 1

答案：B;D;C;D;C
解析：

1．依據短文第一段前三句中的two, the lake和the sun確定． 　　2．由二段中He had told Walt to watch the boats and the shop.推斷出Walt留下來的原因． 　　3．從Walt看見陌生人到Walt對他的觀察以及向陌生人提出問題等，可以斷定Walt was careful. 　　4．從Walt和stranger的談話可知選A是不對的；再由短文最后一句話可判斷出選項B也是錯的；由短文第三段看出C選項也不正確． 　　5．從I can smell something as I smell that storm. I hope Shortly comes back soon.可推斷其隱含意義，即：這兒要出麻煩了．
