Answer 1

分析 本文寫了少年比利從十四歲就開始兼職送報紙，除了生活之外，還給自己上大學攢錢．

解答 27．D 推理判斷題．Billy is 14 years old and in the ninth grade．He has a part-time job which gets him up every morning at 5 o'clock．BIlly是九年級的學生才十四歲，就開始每天早上五點起床做兼職工作，可以推斷出他是一個獨立的而自信的孩子，所以答案選D．
28．A 細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)句子 His customers think he does a good job．Sometimes they give him tips．他的顧客認為他干得很好，有時給他小費．所以答案選A．
29．B 猜測詞義題．根據(jù)句子：Billy must deliver the newspapers to the houses of people on his route in all kinds of weather．比利必須在各種天氣情況下把報紙送到他路線上的人們的家里，deliver the newspaper的意思應該是送報紙，所以答案選B． 
30．A 細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)句子Billy earns about＄70 per month，and he is saving some of the money to go to college．每個月掙得70美元，節(jié)省出一部分錢上大學，所以答案選A．
31．D 細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)句子Billy might win a prize for being an outstanding newspaper boy．He wants to win a trip to Europe，but he will still be happy if he wins a new bicycle．比利可能因為成為一名優(yōu)秀的報童而獲獎，他想贏得一次去歐洲的旅行，但如果他贏得一輛新自行車，他仍然會很高興．所以答案選D．
