【題目】 The man sitting opposite Robert was the Financial Controller. Everybody called him “the FC” for short. He made all the decisions about money. Robert needed some more. That was why he had to see him. The two men did not get on very well. In fact, they had always disliked each other.

“Your request is out of the question,” the FC said. Robert had difficulty in controlling himself, but he managed somehow. He explained that he wanted the money in order to make more programmes.

“And why do you want to do that?” the FC asked sharply. Again, Robert almost lost his temper. “Because more and more people are listening to my department’s programmes. There’s great demand for them,” he answered.

The FC did not seem to believe him. But Robert had a report on the numbers of listeners to all EBC programmes. The FC became less confident. Robert threw the report down on the table and told him to read it.

The FC looked at it in silence. The figures proved that he had been wrong, but he did not want to admit it. “Well,”he finally said, “I may have made a small mistake.”Robert noticed the word “may.” He got up to leave. But he had the feeling that he would get the money after all.

【1】 “Your request is out of the question.”Here “out of the question”means______.

A. without any question B. with some question.

C. impossible. D. possible.

【2】Robert decided to make more programmes because________.

A. he wanted to meet the needs of the listeners.

B. /span>“the FC”disliked him

C. the members of his department wanted him to do so.

D. he wanted to show himself off.

【3】Why were more and more people listening to Robert’s programmes?

A. Because he always lost his temper.

B. Because he disliked “the FC.”

C. Because the programmes were rich and to the taste of the listeners.

D. It isn’t mentioned directly in the text..

【4】Who do you think won the argument in the end?

A. The Financial Controller. B. Robert.

C. Nobody. D. The listeners.

【答案】

【1】C

【2】A

【3】D

【4】B

【解析】

試題分析:Robert請求財務總監(jiān)——掌握所有的金錢的人,多給他一點錢來支持他的節(jié)目,經(jīng)過一場辯論,他覺得自己能夠獲得資金。

【1】C詞義猜測題。根據(jù)短文 “Your request is out of the question,” the FC said. Robert had difficulty in controlling himself, but he managed somehow. He explained that he wanted the money in order to make more programmes.可知out of the question的意思是不可能的,故選C。

【2】A細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù) “Because more and more people are listening to my department’s programmes. There’s great demand for them,” 可知是為了為了滿足聽眾的需求,故選A。

【3】D細節(jié)理解題。通讀全文可知文中并沒有提及越來越多的聽眾想聽Robert的節(jié)目的原因,故選D。

【4】B推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文 “Well,”he finally said, “I may have made a small mistake.”Robert noticed the word “may.” He got up to leave. But he had the feeling that he would get the money after all.可知雖然他犯了一個小錯但是他還是能拿到錢,所以所他還是贏了這場爭論,故選B。
