Dear Sir,

Mr. Smith wrote to your newspaper to complain that his telephone was out of order for more than a week.

We received a complaint from Mr. Smith at 2:30 p.m. on May 6. The next day we sent workmen to Mr. Smith’s house to repair his telephone. The men discovered that there was something wrong with the underground cable. They dug up 15 feet of the cable and saw many white ants. These ants had attacked the cable and damaged it badly.

On May 8~10, our workmen dug up another 30 feet of the cable and found that it was also damaged. On May 11~13 the men took out the useless cable and replaced it with a new one. To do this they had to connect more than 4 000 wires and the work was not easy.

On May 14, the cable was completely repaired and Mr. Smith’s telephone was working properly. He did not have to pay for the work.

Yours faithfully,

B.Jones

Manager of Telephone Company

A. explain why his telephone did not work properly

4.The ______ to the cable were paid by the Telephone Company.

A. damage            B.damages            C.repairs            D.replacement

5.The word “discovered” means ______.

A. were learned       B.were seeing         C.find out           D.found out

 

答案:C;A;C;C;D
解析:

1、根據(jù)信的第一段可以得知答案。

2、該題為計算題。從他們接到抱怨的56日的第二天即57日到514日徹底修好,共用了八天時間,故答案為A

3、On May 11~13 the men took out the useless cable and replaced it with a new one. To do this they had to connect more than 4 000 wires and the work was not easy. 根據(jù)這兩句可知答案。

4、根據(jù)信的最后一段可知答案。

5、該題為詞義理解題。learn意為學習、獲悉see意為看見;find out“查出,查明,但其時態(tài)與discovered不符,故只有D項符合discovered的詞義和時態(tài)。
