Question

The sun had gone behind a cloud. I was very tired and wanted nothing in the world so much as to be at home. At last I got to the gate of Hide Park. But this was worse than ever; there were buses there—high and terribly red cars, taxis and still more buses in an endless line. Everywhere there were people hurrying past or waiting to get into the buses, while I stood lost in the middle of them.

I was ready to cry. In despair, I crossed the street on to an “island”, where I found a policeman. I took my last bit of courage in both hands and said, “Please, sir, where is Addison Road?” He began to explain, but when he saw that I couldn’t understand he became helpless, too. “Are you French at school?” A few minutes later, he smiled and raised his hand. How wonderful! The traffic stopped. Even the red buses stood still and waited until I had crossed the road.

【解析】

試題分析:作者在海德公園游玩了一天后，精疲力竭，打算回家。但是當他到了公園門口時發(fā)現(xiàn)到處是川流不息的車輛，匆匆行路的人們，作者迷路了。他絕望之中找到了一名警察，盡管語言不通，最后警察還是幫助了他，指揮車輛停下來讓作者穿過了馬路。

1.At last I got to the gate of Hide Park.可以推測作者去逛公園了，所以感覺非常疲憊，故答案選D。

2.。細節(jié)理解題。從文章第一段中I was very tired and wanted nothing in the world so much as to be at home.可以判斷作者如此的疲憊以至于希望一直在家里呆著，而沒出來游玩，故答案選B。

3.。詞義猜測題。根據(jù)對當時情景的描述可知作者處在了川流不息的車流中，由此判斷作者是到了一個能避開車輛的地方，去找警察問路，故答案選B。

4.。細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段he smiled and raised his hand. How wonderful! The traffic stopped.可以判斷警察讓車輛停止了下來，以便讓作者通過，故答案選D。

5.。推理判斷題。根據(jù)文中出現(xiàn)的Hide Park（英國最大的皇家公園），可知作者在英國求學，故答案選C。
