Question

Everybody has one of those days when everything goes wrong. This is what happened to Harry.

He got up one morning very late because he had forgotten to wind up his alarm clock(鬧鐘). He tried to shave(刮臉) quickly and cut himself. When he got dressed, he got blood all over his clean shirt, so he had to find another one. The only other shirt that was clean needed ironing(熨), so he ironed it. While he was ironing it, there was a knock at the door. It was the man to read the electricity meter(表). He showed him where the meter was, said good-bye and found that the iron had burnt a hole in his shirt. So he had to wear the one with the blood on it after all. By this time it was very late, so he decided he couldn’t go to work by bus. He telephoned for a taxi to take him to work. The taxi arrived and Harry got in and began to read the newspaper.

In another part of the town, a man had killed a woman with a knife and was seen to run away in a taxi. When Harry’s taxi stopped outside his office, a policeman happened to be standing there. He saw the blood on Harry’s shirt, and took him to the police station. He was kept till 3 o’clock in the afternoon before the police were sure that he was not the man they wanted. When he finally arrived at the office at about four, his boss took a look at him and told him to go away and find another job.

試題分析：生活中，每個(gè)人都會(huì)遇到不順利的時(shí)候。有一天，亨利起晚了，他在刮臉時(shí)不小心傷到了自己。結(jié)果，他的襯衫上沾滿了血漬。僅有的一件可以更換的襯衫也被亨利燙壞了，他只好穿著帶血漬的襯衫去上班。不幸的是，警察把亨利當(dāng)成了殺人犯帶回了警局。最后，亨利因?yàn)檫t到時(shí)間太長(zhǎng)而丟掉了工作。

1.Everybody has one of those days when everything goes wrong. This is what happened to Harry.”可知，每個(gè)人都有不順利的時(shí)候，亨利也不例外，說明亨利經(jīng)歷了不幸的一天，故選B。

2.cut himself. When he got dressed, he got blood all over his clean shirt, ...The only other shirt that was clean needed ironing(熨), so he ironed it.”可知，亨利刮臉時(shí)劃傷了自己，衣服上沾滿了血漬，他不得不換一件新的，然而，那件新的襯衫需要熨燙，根據(jù)“While he was ironing it, there was a knock at the door.”可知，正在熨衣服時(shí)，有人敲門，因此，順序是c, b, d，由此可知答案，故選D。

3.He showed him where the meter was, said good-bye and found that the iron had burnt a hole in his shirt.”可知，亨利帶工作人員抄電表，在此期間，他的襯衫被燙了一個(gè)洞，他只好穿著帶有血漬的那件襯衫去上班，故選A。

4.So he had to wear the one with the blood on it after all. ...He telephoned for a taxi to take him to work.”和第三段“a man had killed a woman with a knife and was seen to run away in a taxi”可知，一個(gè)殺人犯乘坐出租車逃跑，而亨利身上有血漬，巧合的是他也是乘坐的出租車，說明警察誤把亨利當(dāng)成了殺人犯，故選B。

5.When he finally arrived at the office at about four, his boss took a look at him and told him to go away and find another job.”可知，亨利下午大概四點(diǎn)才到達(dá)公司，因?yàn)檫t到太長(zhǎng)時(shí)間，老板讓他再重新找一份工作，說明老板把亨利解雇了，故選C。
