Question

【題目】Peter wondered why he didn’t have many friends. The reason was that he was always taking, never giving.

One day Peter told Bill, “I’d like to give a party on Saturday. I’d like you to come and bring Martha, too. ” “Thanks, Peter. We’d be happy to come. ”“Perhaps you’d like to bring your violin. You and Martha sing well together. I’m sure everyone will want you to sing for us. ”That was how Peter began to plan his party. Next he asked another friend, Betty, to bring a cake. “You make the best cake in the world, Betty, and I like to eat your cake better than have one from the bakery(面包店). ”Peter invited a few other friends to come to his party. He didn’t forget to ask for something from each of them. He even asked Jim Jackson and Mary Jackson to let him give the party at their house! They agreed.

The party was a big success. However, as the guests were leaving, they said “Thank you! ”to Bill and Martha for the music, Betty for the cake, the Jacksons for the use of the house and to others for their hard work. To Peter they just said, “Thanks for the invitation. ”

【解析】

試題分析：這篇短文講述的是Peter沒有太多的朋友，原因是他只知道索取，而不知道奉獻(xiàn)。Peter想舉行一個聚會，他向Bill借了小提琴，讓Bill和Martha一起唱歌、向Betty借了蛋糕，甚至還向Jim和Mary借了房子來舉行聚會。從每個人那里他都借了點東西，但是他卻什么都不做。所以當(dāng)最后聚會結(jié)束，大家離開的時候，客人們向每個人都表示了感謝，而對Peter只感謝了他的邀請。

【1】C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文“He even asked Jim and Mary Jackson to let him give the party at their house! They agreed.”的描述可知，Peter請求Jim和Mary Jackson同意，讓他在他們的家里舉行聚會，他們同意了。由此我們可以知道，聚會是在Peter的朋友家里舉行的。故選C。

【2】B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文“Next he asked another friend, Betty, to bring a cake.”的描述可知，Peter請求Betty帶蛋糕來，故我們可以知道A是正確的，Betty做的蛋糕；根據(jù)文中“Perhaps you'd like to bring your violin”的描述可知，Peter讓Bill帶小提琴來，故C是正確的；根據(jù)短文“He even asked Jim and Mary Jackson to let him give the party at their house!”的描述可知，the Jacksons 為聚會做了努力的工作，因為聚會是在他們家里舉行的，而且很成功，故D也是正確的。根據(jù)短文“You and Martha sing well ”的描述可知，唱歌好的不是Mary，而是Martha，故B選項表述不對。故選B。

【3】C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文最后一段以及“To Peter they just said, “Thanks for the invitation.”的描述可知，Peter只是邀請朋友來參加聚會。結(jié)合選項可知應(yīng)選C。

【4】C推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文描述可知，Peter只想著能從別人那里得到什么，自己從不奉獻(xiàn)，所以他的朋友很少。為了舉行聚會，他向每個人都借了一些東西，甚至還跟朋友借房子舉行聚會，因此Peter是一個很自私的人。聚會選項可知應(yīng)選C。
