Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
Pat O'Burke was a poor Irishman with a large family, and one morning, waking up very early from cold and hunger, he decided to go shooting in a wood near his cottage. The wood belonged to Lord Northwood, a rich gentleman. Pat had no right to go there, but in it there were swarms of rabbits and flocks of birds that were good to eat, and Pat determined to take the risk. Suddenly he saw the owner, with a group of friends, coming towards him in the wood. There was a look of anger on Lord Northwood's face as he caught sight of the gun in Pat's hands.
Pat's heart sank with fear, but he saw there was no hope of escape, so he walked boldly(大膽) up to the group and said to Lord Northwood, “Good morning, sir, and what has brought you out so early this morning?”
Lord Northwood, rather surprised, said he and his friends were taking a little exercise to get an appetite(食欲) for their breakfast. Then, looking at Pat with suspicion(懷疑), he said, “but why are you out so early in the morning?”
“Well, sir” said Pat, “I just came out to see if I could get a breakfast for my appetite.”
The whole crowd burst into laughter at Pat's ready wit, and with a smile Lord Northwood walked on, leaving Pat to try his luck with the rabbits.

（1）C 主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段第一句Pat O'Burke was a poor Irishman with a large family, and one morning, waking up very early from cold and hunger和最后一段第一句The whole crowd burst into laughter at Pat's ready wit, and with a smile Lord Northwood walked on可知Pat O'Burke非常機(jī)智，他只是想找一些吃的東西。故C項(xiàng)正確。

（2）B 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段最后一句There was a look of anger on Lord Northwood's face as he caught sight of the gun in Pat's hands.可知他看見(jiàn)Pat手里拿著槍在這片森林里打獵，很生氣。因?yàn)檫@片森林是他的土地，Pat是無(wú)權(quán)來(lái)這里打獵的。故B正確。

（3）A 推理判斷題。Lord Northwood原以為Pat會(huì)很害怕地逃走，他并沒(méi)有想到Pat敢熱情地走過(guò)來(lái)和他打招呼，這讓他很驚訝。故A項(xiàng)正確。

（4）C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章最后一段第一句The whole crowd burst into laughter at Pat's ready wit, and with a smile Lord Northwood walked on...可知大家都認(rèn)為Pat的反應(yīng)很機(jī)智故C正確。
