Question

A man came back home from work late, tired, to find his six-year-old son waiting for him at the door.
“Daddy, how much money do you make an hour?”
“If you want to know, I make $20 an hour.”
“Oh,” the little boy replied, with his head down. He thought for a moment, looked up and said, “Daddy, could you lend me $10?”
The father was furious, “If you asked for money to buy a toy or some other rubbish, then go straight to your room and think why you are being so selfish!”
The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. After about an hour or so, the father calmed down, and started to think, “Maybe he really needs to buy something and he didn’t ask for money very often.” So he went to the little boy’s room.
“Sorry! Maybe I was too hard on you just now,” said the man. “Here’s $10.”
“Oh, thank you, Daddy!” the boy said gladly. Then, the boy took out some coins. When the father found that the boy already had some money, he got angry again.
“Why do you want more money since you already have some?” the father shouted angrily.
“Because I didn’t have enough, but now I do,” the little boy replied, “Daddy, I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.”

試題分析：這篇短文中作者主要通過兒子欲向父親借10美元買父親1小時(shí)的對(duì)話矛盾沖突，表達(dá)了兒子對(duì)缺少父親關(guān)愛的不滿。
小題1:歸納演繹題。根據(jù)短文第一段I make $20 an hour（我每小時(shí)掙20美元），可計(jì)算出工作10小時(shí)可掙200美元。故選D。
小題2:句義猜測(cè)題。聯(lián)系下文，If you asked for money to buy a toy or some other rubbish, then go straight to your room and think why you are being so selfish!（如果你要錢去買玩具或其他垃圾，那么回到你的房間想想你為什么那么自私）可知父親生氣了。故選A。
小題3:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)下文Can I buy an hour of your time? （我能買你1小時(shí)嗎？）可知答案是D。
小題4:判斷推理題。根據(jù)短文 Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.(明天早點(diǎn)回家，我想和你共進(jìn)晚餐）可知，父親早出晚歸，和孩子在一起的時(shí)間很少。故選C。
