Jay, an American, wanted to write a book about famous churches (教堂)around the world. Firstly, Jay bought a plane ticket and took a trip to Columbus, Ohio, USA, thinking that he would start by working his way across the USA from East to West.

On his first day he was inside a church taking photos when he noticed a golden telephone on the wall with a sign that read "$10,000 per call".

Jay was intrigued so he asked a priest (牧師) what the telephone was used for.

The priest told him that it was a direct (直接的) line to heaven(天堂) and that for $10,000 you could talk to God. Jay thanked the priest and went along his way.

Next stop was in Des Moines, and there at a very large church, he saw the same looking golden telephone with the same sign under it. A nearby nun(修女)told him that it was a direct line to heaven and that for $10,000 he could talk to God.

Jay decided to travel to Australia to see if they had a similar phone. He arrived at Western Australia, and again, in the church he entered, there was the same looking golden telephone, but this time the sign under it read "40 cents per call."

Somewhat surprised, Jay asked the priest about the sign. 'Father Brian, I travelled all over the world and I saw this same golden telephone in many churches. I know it is a direct line to Heaven, but in all of them price was $10,000 per call. Why is it so cheap here?'

Father(神父)Brian smiled and answered, 'My son, you're in Australia now - this is Heaven, so it's only a local call.'

1.How many churches did Jay go to in the passage?

A. Three B. Four C. Five D. Six

2.The underlined word ‘intrigued’ in Paragraph 3 may mean ‘ ’.

A. 恐懼的 B.欣喜的 C.猶豫的 D. 好奇的

3.Which is TURE according to the passage?

A. Jay was a singer.

B. In all of churches, the price was $10,000 per call

C. All the telephones look the same.

D. Jay travelled in America by car.

4.We can infer (推斷) from the Father Brian’s words in the last Paragraph?

A. Jay was from Australia.

B. Jay would spend less money in Australia because everything was cheaper there.

C. Australia is as beautiful as Heaven.

D. Father Brian found his real son at last.

試題分析:Jay是個美國人,他想要寫一本關(guān)于全世界著名教堂的書,首先他去了哥倫比亞,并且要從那開始穿越東西部。第一天他走進(jìn)一座教堂看到一部金電話上面寫著“撥打一次一萬美元”,牧師告訴他這三家哦天堂專線。第二站是Des Moines,他又發(fā)現(xiàn)了同樣電話和同樣的字,修女也告訴他是天堂專線。當(dāng)他到達(dá)澳大利亞的一座教堂時也發(fā)現(xiàn)了金電話,但是上面寫著“撥打一次40分”他問神父為什么這么便宜,神父說:你在澳大利亞,這就是天堂,因此只是一個本地通話。

1.Des Moines已經(jīng)澳大利亞的教堂,共三個。故選A

2.

3.Jay bought a plane ticket and took a trip to Columbus, Ohio, USA坐飛機(jī)。故選,C。
