Question

Tom was taken to the police station and put in a room with another thief, an older man.

    The man looked at Tom and said, “Why have they brought you here, boy?” “I stole a small radio one day after lessons,” Tom said.

【解析】

試題分析：

1.C 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第二段1,2行“I stole a small radio one day after lessons,說明他偷了收音機(jī)，而被當(dāng)成小偷抓了起來，故C正確。

2.C  細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第二段2,3行The man laughed rudely at him, “you should steal something which is worth a lot if you want to be a thief. You ought to steal something really expensive,說明他認(rèn)為Tom偷的東西太不值錢了。故C正確。

3.A 推理題。根據(jù)最后一段說明Tom還是想去偷東西，但是他偷不了銀行，因?yàn)殂y行在他下課之前就關(guān)門了，我們可知在下課以后他還是有可能出去偷東西的。故A正確。

4.D 推理題。根據(jù)最后一段第一句Tom thought for a few seconds and then said, “I can’t do that!”說明他在仔細(xì)考慮偷銀行的可能性的，故D正確。

5.B 推理題。根據(jù)最后一段“I’m not afraid at all, but the banks are all closed at three o’clock, and my lessons don’t finish until four.”說明銀行在他下課之前就關(guān)門了，這是他不能偷銀行的主要原因。故B正確。
