Question

【題目】One day Kavya and I were playing tennis and the ball went into a man’s house. Then we went to his house and asked if he could give us our ball. He said, “No”. We felt helpless. But suddenly we came up with an idea. There was a water tank (水箱) behind the man’s house. I told Kavya, “We can climb onto the water tank and jump over the gate.” Kavya agreed, but we were both wearing skirts. We couldn’t climb in those. “We can get it back tomorrow，” said Kavya.

The next day we went there with Kavya’s brother Vijay. He said, “Shout loudly if you need me.” Kavya climbed onto the water tank first and then she climbed down into the man’s house. I followed her. We were looking under a bed for the ball when we heard a noise. It was Vijay. “Mother is calling you，” he said in a low voice.

We hurried out taking the lost ball with us. Along with the ball was a surprise! But we had to leave the house quickly. When we reached Kavya’s house, the TV was on. It was news time. I couldn’t believe my ears when it said that 20 gold bars were stolen from a gold shop. They showed a picture of the gold bars, which were exactly like the one we had seen in the man’s house.

We told the story to Kavya’s mother right away, and she called the police. Soon the police caught the man. They found all the gold bars in his house. A few days later a policeman came to us and said, “Thank you for helping us catch the guy. Here is a bag for all of you.” When we opened it, it was full of storybooks and lovely toys. Standing beside us, Kavya’s mother was all smiles.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】A

【2】C

【3】D

【4】B

【解析】

本文是一篇記敘文，Kavya和作者無意中把網(wǎng)球打進了別人的家里，對方拒絕讓我們進去找球。我們偷偷從水箱上爬進了他的家里，發(fā)現(xiàn)他家里有金店失竊的黃金，報警以后對方被警察抓捕。正應了那句老話：要想人不知除非己莫為。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段3-7句He said, “No”. We felt helpless. But suddenly we came up with an idea. There was a water tank (水箱) behind the man’s house. I told Kavya, “We can climb onto the water tank and jump over the gate.”可知在被對方拒絕以后，他們決定從對方房子后面的水箱爬進去把球拿回來。故A項正確。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段第二句Along with the ball was a surprise!和最后一句 They showed a picture of the gold bars, which were exactly like the one we had seen in the man’s house.

可知他們在對方的院子里發(fā)現(xiàn)的驚喜就是一塊與電視上報道的失竊的金塊一樣的金塊。故C項正確。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一句Standing beside us, Kavya’s mother was all smiles.可知當警察把獎品頒發(fā)給我們的時候Kavya的mother面帶笑容，這說明她非常開心孩子可以得到這樣的榮譽，她應該感覺很自豪。故D項正確。

【4】推理判斷題。本文是一篇記敘文，Kavya和作者無意中把網(wǎng)球打進了別人的家里，對方拒絕讓我們進去找球。我們偷偷從水箱上爬進了他的家里，發(fā)現(xiàn)他家里有金店失竊的黃金，報警以后對方被警察抓捕。正應了那句老話：要想人不知除非己莫為。故B項正確。
