Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
Some time ago, I discovered a whole lot of antique(古董) shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the char that had a broken leg. I didn't think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception. I was quite wrong. The man wouldn't even look at my chair.
The second shop, although slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth — so I thought that my approach must be wrong.
I went into the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, “Would you like to buy a chair?” He looked it over carefully and said, “Yes. How much do you want do it, sir?” “Twenty pounds,” I said. “Ok,” he said, “I'll give you twenty pounds.” “It has a slightly broken leg,” I said. “Yes, I saw that; it's nothing.”
Everything was going according to the plan and I was getting excited. “What will you do with it?” I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done.” “I'll buy it,” I said. “What do you mean? You've just sold it to me.” he said. “Yes, I know but I've changed my mind. I'm sorry. I'll give you twenty-seven pounds for it.” “You must be crazy,” he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair.” “You're right.” I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, ‘Would you mend this chair for me?'” “I wouldn't have agreed to do it,” he said. “We don't do repairs, not enough in it and too much trouble. But I'll mend this for you, shall we say for five pounds?” He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.

Answer 1

【答案】
（1）D
（2）C
（3）C
（4）A
【解析】這是一篇記敘文，講述作者發(fā)現(xiàn)椅子壞了，于是準備請人修理，但接連問了四家店都不肯給作者修。于是作者想到了先賣椅子，接著再買回修好的椅子的計策。雖然第五家店的老板識破了作者的意圖，但答應幫作者修椅子，因為他覺得作者很聰明。

⑴ 推理判斷�？捎门懦�法，根據(jù)文意，B、C項很容易被排除，而A“作者很無禮”，文中并沒有這樣的提示，所以答案是D。

⑵ 推理判斷。根據(jù)第三、四段的描述可知，他心里想著如何把椅子修好。所以答案是C。

⑶ 詞義猜測。根據(jù)“the penny dropped. "前面店主所說的“You must be crazy, ”店主認為作者給他27磅買自己的椅子是不可理喻的，但是很快他又說“I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair”，表明他明白了作者的目的是希望他能幫他修理椅子。"the penny dropped"意為“終于聽明白了，目的達到了”。所以答案是C。

⑷ 細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段中“We don't do repairs, not enough in it and too much trouble. But I'll mend this for you, shall we say for five pounds?”可知，作者需付五英鎊的勞務費。所以答案是A。
