Question

Then he sat down to think, “I must do something about the noise,” he said. He thought and thought. At last he had an idea. “Ah, I’ll put some cotton in my ears.

I’ll teach you a lesson(教訓(xùn)),”the angry man shouted. And he hit the thief on the nose.

【解析】

試題分析：這篇文章主要講了，著名的諺語(yǔ)故事---掩耳盜鈴的故事，講述了自以為聰明的賊，去偷鄰家的玲，但是當(dāng)他摸的時(shí)候響了，所以想了自以為聰明的方法，把耳朵堵上，最后在大家捉住了。

1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)When he wanted to steal (偷) the bell on his neighbor’s door可知他想頭鄰居的門(mén)鈴，故選B。

2.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)分別表示安全的，困難的，危險(xiǎn)地和簡(jiǎn)單的，這是掩耳盜鈴的故事，這個(gè)賊自以為安全了，故選A.

3.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文最后一句話(huà)，那個(gè)時(shí)候他為什么出來(lái)了，說(shuō)明這個(gè)賊仍認(rèn)為鄰居聽(tīng)不到鈴聲，故選C。

考點(diǎn)：故事類(lèi)短文閱讀。
