Question

閱讀理解 　　We spent a day in the country and picked a lot of flowers．Our car was full of flowers inside! On the way home we had to stop at the traffic lights, and there my wife saw the bookshelf．It stood outside a furniture (家具)shop．“Buy it,” she said at once．“We'll carry it home on the roof-rack (車頂架)．I've always wanted one like that．” 　　What could I do? Ten minutes later I was twenty dollars poorer, and the bookshelf was tied onto the roof rack．It was tall and narrow, quite heavy too． 　　As it was getting darker, I drove slowly．Other drivers seemed more polite than usual that evening．The police even stopped traffic to let us through．Carrying furniture was a good idea． 　　After a time my wife said, “There's a long line of cars behind．Why don't they overtake(超車)？” 　　Just at that time a police car did overtake．The two officers (警官)inside looked at us seriously when they went past．But then, with a kind smile they asked us to follow their car through the busy traffic．The police car stopped at our Village church (教堂)．One of the officers came to me． 　　“Right, sir,” he said．“Do you need any more help now?” 　　I didn't quite understand．“Thanks, officer．” I said．“You've been very kind．I live just down the road．” 　　He was looking at our things：First at the flow-ers, then at the bookshelf．“Well, well,” he said and laughed．“It's a bookshelf you've got there! We thought it was-er, something else．” 　　My wife began to laugh．Suddenly I understood why the police drove here．I smiled at the officer, “Yes, it, s a bookshelf, but thanks again．” I drove home as fast as I could． (1) From the story we know that________． [　　] A． the writer was poor and didn't buy the book-shelf for his wife B． the writer's wife didn't like the bookshelf at all C． the writer was always glad to buy something for his wife D． the writer was not very glad to buy the book-shelf for his wife (2) What made the writer think that carrying furni-ture was “a good idea”？ [　　] A． He could drive slowly and it was safe． B． Other drivers would let him go first． C． His wife could use a new bookshelf． D． He could save a lot of money and time． (3) Why were the police and other drivers so kind to the writer?

Answer 1

答案：1．D;2．B;3．C;4．A;5．C;
解析：

(1)	文章第二段提到 What could I do? Ten minutes later I was twenty dollars poorer…從語(yǔ)氣判斷，作者并不愿意給他太太買(mǎi)這個(gè)書(shū)架，是很無(wú)奈的語(yǔ)氣。
(2)	文章第三段提到 Other drivers seemed more polite than usual that evening．The police even in stopped traffic to let us through．可知其他的司機(jī)在那個(gè)晚上似乎比平常更加有禮貌，警察甚至讓其他車輛停止前進(jìn)先讓“我們”通過(guò)，這就是攜帶家具的好處。
(3)	文章第五段提到 The police cir stopped at our village church．文章第八段又提到 It's a bookshelf you've got there! We thought it was-er, something else．所以很明顯，警察誤會(huì)了，他們把書(shū)架看成了棺材，從他們給作者領(lǐng)路領(lǐng)到 教堂可以看出警察以為作者家里有人去世了。因?yàn)樵谖鞣�，葬禮通常在教堂舉行。
(4)	在警察說(shuō)完他們以為車架上的書(shū)架是別的東西后，作者的妻子笑了，這是因?yàn)樗�的妻子明白了這一切是怎么回事，就是一個(gè)小小的誤會(huì)。警察們看錯(cuò)了。
(5)	文章的第八段提到He was looking at our things：First at the flowers, then at the bookshelf．“Well，well，” he said and laughed．“It's a bookshelf you've got there!…”在其中的一個(gè)警察看完了“我們”的花和“我們”的書(shū)架后，才意識(shí)到他們看錯(cuò)了。
