Ben

When I left school five years ago, I said to myself, “That’s that! No more learning for me．Now I can enjoy myself in the evening．” But about a year ago the boss said, “We’re going to get a computer in the near future．” What does he mean? I simply don’t know．Anyway, I decided to go to evening classes．I’m quite an expert(專家) on computers now and you know, I actually enjoy studying．

Eve

I haven’t much interest in studying．To be honest, I don’t like reading very much, except for magazines and that sort of thing．Just reading, that is, to kill the time．But I do enjoy watching TV．Not that I watch everything．In fact, I choose my programmes very carefully．I’m particularly interested in current affairs(時(shí)事)．In some ways I think I learn more in this way than I did at school．

Ted

I’m a very different sort of person－I simply love doing things．That’s why I enjoy sports so much．I mean, actually playing．I hardly ever watch it on TV, but I do read quite a bit about it．I’m even interested in the history of sports．I don’t have much time for anything else, except that I quite like dancing．Some people say I’m not very good at it, though．

Joan

I should say I have great interest in studying．I’d rather do this than anything else．Since I left school．I’ve taken courses in all sorts of things．I go to the city library once a week, but I much prefer evening classes because it’s more fun that way．My latest “craze（狂熱）”－if you can call it that －is foreign languages．I’m learning two, not one!

試題分析：這篇短文中作者主要講述了四個(gè)不同的人在對(duì)待時(shí)間上的不同觀念和態(tài)度，有的喜歡讀書，有的喜歡看電視、進(jìn)行運(yùn)動(dòng)、上夜班課等。

1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段No more learning for me．Now I can enjoy myself in the evening．可知A項(xiàng)正確；由第二段開頭的描述和Just reading, that is, to kill the time．一句可知，他在閱讀上花費(fèi)的時(shí)間是不多的，所以B項(xiàng)正確；第三段I hardly ever watch it on TV可知事實(shí)與C項(xiàng)的觀點(diǎn)正好相反；由最后一段可知Joan及其喜歡夜班課，而且最近在學(xué)兩門語言，所以D項(xiàng)正確；故選C。

2.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段可知Ben后來上了夜班課并且精通電腦而且喜歡上了學(xué)習(xí)，說明他充分利用了時(shí)間，而最后一段說明Joan是個(gè)學(xué)習(xí)狂，及其熱愛上夜班課，所以他們二人充分利用了時(shí)間；故選D。

3.推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段說Joan上了夜班課學(xué)習(xí)兩門語言，而且很著迷，說明將來他可能會(huì)說好一門外語；文中沒有信息說明Eve將來會(huì)學(xué)電腦；對(duì)時(shí)事感興趣的是Eve而不是Ben；最后一段說Joan一周去一次市區(qū)圖書館，更喜歡的是上夜班課；故選A。

4.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段No more learning for me．Now I can enjoy myself in the evening．可知他意為自己終于擺脫學(xué)習(xí)生活了，所以A項(xiàng)內(nèi)容描述最準(zhǔn)確；故選A。

考點(diǎn)：日常生活類短文閱讀。

Ben Jones was walking home from school one day when he saw a black cat. It was walking across the street in front of him. Ben stopped, turned around, and walked down a different street to go home. Why did he do that?
“It’s unlucky when a black cat crosses the street in front of you,” says Ben, “I did not want to walk down that street!”

Saturday morning was bright and fresh. There was a song in every heart, cheer on every face, and a spring in every step.
Tom appeared with a bucket（桶）of white paint in one hand and a brush in the other. His Aunt Polly told him to paint the fence（籬笆）around the garden. It was ninety feet long and nine feet high. He felt very blue.
Then he had a wonderful idea. He picked up his brush and started to work.
Soon Ben came along the road. He was happily eating an apple. He stopped to look at Tom. Tom went on painting and pretended（假裝）not to see Ben.
“I’m going swimming,” said Ben. “Do you want to go swimming, Tom? But I guess you can’t. You have to stay and work, don’t you?”       
“Work?” Tom said. “This isn’t work. I’m enjoying myself. Does a boy get a chance to paint a fence like this every day?”

“Well, all right, Ben,” said Tom. “You must be very careful.”
He gave Ben his brush with worry on his face but joy in his heart. He sat down under the tree, and started to eat Ben’s apple. All day, boys came to make fun of Tom, but they ended up staying to paint. When Ben got tired, Billy was waiting. He gave Tom a kite for a chance to paint. Then Johnny offered him a basketball, and so on.
