Question

It was just three degrees above zero. “That’s cold,” thought Jane as she got ready to deliver her morning papers. Jane has 50 customers, and on cold mornings when she couldn’t ride her bike, it took her more than an hour to make her rounds.

As she collected her papers and put them into a big canvas bag, Jane regretted that she hadn’t finished her math homework the night before. There was still time. She’d hurry with the papers and finish the math before breakfast.

Less than an hour later, Jane was nearly finished. She had only five customers to go. She could then head for home to complete her math while her mom fixed breakfast. As she rounded the corner, she saw a car in the middle of the street. It was Mr. Zimmerman, the elderly man who walked with a walking stick. His car was out of gas.

“I’d like to help Mr. Zimmerman,” thought Jane. “but if I do, I won’t have time to do my homework.” She hated to think what Mr. Roberts would say if she hadn’t completed her papers.

“It’s his own fault for running out of gas,” Jane talked to herself, “the station is only a half mile down the street. Surely Mr. Zimmerman can walk that far, even on a cold morning like this… can’t he?” As she walked down the street, Jane wondered what to do.

【解析】

試題分析：Jane在一個寒冷的早晨騎自行車去送早報，在即將送完報紙的時候，她遇到Mr. Zimmerman，他的汽車沒有汽油了，車拋錨了，她想幫助他，但自己還有數(shù)學(xué)作業(yè)和幾份報紙沒有送遞，她不知道該怎樣做。

1.文中第二段語句“here was still time. She’d hurry with the papers and finish the math before breakfast.”可知：Jane在上學(xué)前，去送報紙，故選。選A。

2.文中最后一段語句““The station is only a half mile down the street. Surely Mr. Zimmerman can walk that far, even on a cold morning like this --- can’t he? ””理解可知：Mr. Zimmerman不能走很長的路，選D。

3.】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段Jane has 50 customers, and on cold mornings when she couldn’t ride her bike, it took her more than an hour to make her rounds.得知：在寒冷天氣Jane不能騎自行車送報時，常常花費(fèi)的時間超過一小時，可以推斷出平時Jane送報要花費(fèi)大約一小時。選B。

4.】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段語句“Jane had 50 customers, and on cold mornings when she couldn’t ride her bicycle, it took her more than an hour to make her rounds.”理解可知。Jane經(jīng)常騎自行車去送報紙。選B。

5.最佳標(biāo)題。根據(jù)文章大意得知Jane在即將送完報紙的時候，她遇到Mr. Zimmerman，他的汽車沒有汽油了，車拋錨了，她想幫助他，但自己還有數(shù)學(xué)作業(yè)和幾份報紙沒有送遞，她不知道該怎樣做。

因此There’s no Easy Answer《很難有簡單的答案》這個標(biāo)題最恰當(dāng)。選B。
