Question

We have all experienced days when everything goes wrong. A day may begin well enough, but suddenly everything seems to get out of control. It seems as if a single unimportant event may cause a number of things to happen. Let us suppose that you are preparing a meal and keeping an eye on the baby at the same time. The telephone rings and this means your troubles are beginning. While you are on the phone, the baby pulls the table-cloth off the table, destroying your half prepared meal. You hang up（掛斷電話） hurriedly and attend to your baby. Meanwhile, the meal gets burnt. As if this were not enough to bring you to tears, your husband arrives, unexpectedly bringing three guests to dinner.

Things can go wrong on a number of people on the road. During the rush hour one evening two cars hit each other and both drivers began to argue. The woman driver behind the two cars happened to be a learner. She suddenly go into a panic (恐慌) and stopped her car. This made the driver following her stop suddenly. His wife was sitting beside him holding a large cake. As she was thrown forward, the cake went right through the window and landed on the road. Seeing a cake flying through the air, a truck-driver had to stop his truck all of a sudden. The truck was carrying empty beer bottles and hundreds of them slid off the back of the truck on to the road. This led to yet another angry argument. Meanwhile, the traffic piled up（排成長(zhǎng)龍） behind. It took the police nearly an hour to get the traffic on the move again. In the meanwhile, the truck-driver had to sweep up hundreds of broken bottles. Only two dogs were enjoying themselves from the accident, for they were happily having what was left of the cake. It was just one of those days!

試題分析：文章中寫了由一個(gè)電話開始的一連串糟糕事件，一個(gè)妻子因?yàn)榻恿艘粋�(gè)電話孩子把桌布扯了下來(lái)，準(zhǔn)備的晚飯也就泡湯了，而掛了電話發(fā)現(xiàn)飯焦了。更糟糕的是丈夫帶回來(lái)幾個(gè)人吃飯，這幾個(gè)人路中還遭遇了一系列糟糕的事件。

1. have all experienced days when everything goes wrong.我們都經(jīng)歷過(guò)有一天所有的事情都很糟糕�？赏评沓鰡�(wèn)題總是一連串的發(fā)生，A符合題意，故選A。

2. you are on the phone, the baby pulls the table-cloth off the table, destroying your half prepared meal.可以推理出當(dāng)電話響起以后孩子會(huì)把桌布扯下，D意為在接聽電話你最好把孩子放在離桌子一段距離的地方，可知桌布不會(huì)扯下。其他選項(xiàng)均不符合題意，故選D。

3. took the police nearly an hour to get the traffic on the move again. 可知警察花費(fèi)將近一個(gè)小時(shí)的時(shí)間才讓交通再次暢通。所以C符合題意，故選C。
