Question

    There was a very self-sufficient (自負的) blind man,who did a lot of traveling alone. He was making his first trip to Texas and happened to be seated next to a Texan on the flight. The Texan spent a lot of time telling him how everything is bigger and better in Texas. By the time the blind man had reached his destination (目的地) ，a large hotel,he was very excited about being in Texas.

    The long trip had worn him out a little so he decided to stop at the bar for a small drink and a light snack before going up to his room to change his clothes. When the waitress set down his drink,it was in a huge cup. ‘‘Wow,I had heard everything in Texas is bigger,” he told her.

    “That's right”，she answered. The blind man ate his snack and finished his drink. After drinking so much,it was only natural his next stop was going to the restroom. He asked the waitress where it was. She told him to turn left at the register (登 i己處) and it would be the second door on the right.

   He reached the first door and continued down the hall. A few steps later he stumbled (緙腳) and missed the second door altogether and ended up going through the third door instead. Not knowing he had entered the swimming area he walked forward and fell into the swimming pool.

    Remembering everything he had heard about things being bigger in Texas,as soon as he had his head above water he started shouting, “Don’t flush (7中 洗) ！

   Don’t flush!”

導讀這是一篇記敘文，主要講述了一個肓人去德克薩斯州旅 游的故事。

詳析

1. B細節(jié)理解題。從第二段的“The long trip had worn him out a little so he decided to stop at the bar for a small drink and a light snack before going up to his room to change his clothes. ” 可得出答案。

2. C詞義猜測題。由waiter是男服務員和下面的人稱用的是she,可推斷出waitress是女服務員。

3. D細節(jié)理解題。從第一段的講述中可知他第一次去德克薩斯州，對德州一無所知，只是從旁邊的一個德州人那 兒了解到那里的東西又大又好。

4. C細節(jié)理解題。從對他去廁所的描述中可知他錯過了廁所，而是進了第三個門，特別是從“Not knowing he had entered the swimming area he walked forward and fell into the swimming pool. ”可知他錯進了游泳池。

5. A推理判斷題。從最后一段肓人所想“德州的任何東西 都更大”和所說“不要沖(抽水馬桶) ”可知，他以為自 己掉進了馬桶。

有一個很自負的盲人，經常獨自旅行。他第一次去德克薩斯州旅行時，在飛機上他碰巧坐在了一個德克薩斯人身 邊。德克薩斯人花了很多時間告訴他德克薩斯州的一切南

是如何大如何好。當盲人到達他的目的地 個大旅賽時，他對于能夠居住在德克薩斯州感到興奮不已。

長途旅行使他感到有點累了，所以在去他的房間換衣朋 之前，他決定停下來到一個小酒吧喝點酒吃點零食。女服劣 員將他要的酒放入了一個巨大的杯子里�！巴郏�我早聽說相 克薩斯州的一切都比較大，”他告訴女服務員。

“你說對了，”她回答到。盲人吃了零食，喝完了酒。相 喝了這么多，自然下一站是去洗手間。他問服務員洗手間名那里，她告訴他在登記處向左轉，右邊第二個門便是，

他達到了第一個門，又繼續(xù)沿著大廳走走了幾步之后 他的腳被綷了一下，他錯過了整個第二個門而進入了第三個 門。由于不知道自己已經進入了游泳區(qū)，他繼續(xù)向前走，掉 進了游泳池。

想起他所聽到的德克薩斯州的一切都比其他地方的大， 一浮出水面他就大喊，“不要沖水！不要沖水！”
