Question

Mr and Mrs Smith have just opened a small restaurant. In order to attract customers, they put a notice in front of the restaurant, which said: "Meals on the house for three days."
A foreign student who didn't know much English passed by the restaurant on the second day. It was lunchtime and he felt hungry. "Well, here is a restaurant. I'm going to have something to eat," he said.
He saw the notice when he walked towards the restaurant. "American people are really strange. They even eat dinners on the house! But how can I get onto the top of the house?" he asked himself
He looked around and found a ladder(梯子)against a tree nearby. He was very glad. But as he reached the top, he heard someone shouting at him, "Hey, what are you doing up there?" Mr Smith was looking at him angrily. Beside him was a policeman.

解析試題分析：這篇短文講述的是Smith夫婦剛剛開了一個(gè)餐館，為了吸引顧客，他們?cè)诓宛^前面貼出通知，意思應(yīng)該是免費(fèi)吃飯三天。但是那個(gè)外國(guó)人不知道太多的英語(yǔ)，他以為這里的on the house是要爬到房頂上去吃飯，最后鬧出了笑話。
【小題1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第一句話Mr and Mrs Smith have just opened a small restaurant可知，Smith夫婦剛剛開了一個(gè)小餐館。故選A。
【小題2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第一段中In order to attract customers, they put a notice in front of the restaurant,可知，為了吸引顧客，他們?cè)诓宛^的前面張貼了一個(gè)通知。故選C。
【小題3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第二段中A foreign student who didn't know much English passed by the restaurant on the second day. It was lunchtime and he felt hungry可知，第二天一個(gè)外國(guó)的學(xué)生經(jīng)過(guò)這個(gè)餐館，那是在午飯時(shí)間，他感覺(jué)餓了。由此可知選D。
【小題4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第四段中He looked around and found a ladder(梯子)against a tree nearby. He was very glad. But as he reached the top, he heard someone shouting at him可知，他找到了一個(gè)梯子，爬到了房頂上，這時(shí)他聽到有人在對(duì)他大喊。故選C。
