Question

I was very disappointed not to be able to go to the jazz（爵士音樂(lè)） concert last Friday. The advertisement（廣告） in the paper said that you could buy tickets at the theatre box in Richland Hills any day between 10:00 and 4:00.Since I work from 9:00 to 5:30, the only time I could go to the theatre was during my 45-minute lunch break. Unluckily, the theatre is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky, you can make the round（往返的） trip in 45 minutes. Last Monday, I stood at the bus stop for fifteen minutes waiting for the bus. By the time I saw one come around the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip. So I gave up and went back to the office. The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again the next day. On Thursday, my luck changed. I got on a bus right away and arrived at the theatre in exactly twenty minutes. When I got there, however, I found a long line of people at the office. I heard one man say he had been waiting in line for over an hour. Realizing I would not have enough time to wait in line, I caught the next bus and headed back（奔回） across the town. By Friday I realized my only hope was to make the trip by taxi. It was expensive, but I felt it would be worth it to hear the concert. The trip by taxi only took 10 minutes, but it felt like an hour to me. When I got to the theatre, I was relieved to see that nobody was waiting in line. The reason, however, I quickly discovered, was that they had already sold all the tickets.

1.The man learned that there would be a concert last Friday ________.

A. from his friends                                                   B. from one of his workmates

C. over the radio                                                          D. from the newspaper 

2.One day the man took________ to get to the theatre by bus.

A. forty-five minutes                                      B. fifteen minutes 

C. just twenty minutes                                 D. over an hour      

3.The underlined word “relieved” may best be replaced by“________”.

A. worried                            B. pleased                           C. puzzled                   D. sorry   

4.The writer mainly shows us his________.

A. enjoyment of the concert                                 B. anger for buying the ticket

C. efforts to buy the ticket                                     D. disappointment at the concert

試題分析：

【文章大意】本文是一篇記敘文。文章講述了我為買(mǎi)一張音樂(lè)會(huì)的票所付出的努力。由于上班的原因我只能在午飯的時(shí)間去買(mǎi)票，可去那個(gè)城市的班車(chē)很不及時(shí)，我等了好幾天都沒(méi)有趕上合適的班車(chē)；有一次趕上了，到達(dá)那里的時(shí)候，排隊(duì)等候的人很多，無(wú)奈我只好返回。最后，我打車(chē)去那里，到達(dá)那里我發(fā)現(xiàn)沒(méi)有人排隊(duì)，我很高興。但后來(lái)我發(fā)現(xiàn)票已經(jīng)賣(mài)完了。

1.D考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文章第一段中的The advertisement（廣告） in the paper said that you could buy tickets at the theatre box in Richland Hills any day between 10:00 and 4:00.可知，那人是通過(guò)報(bào)紙上的廣告得知的音樂(lè)會(huì)買(mǎi)票的信息的。故選D。 

2.C考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文章中的On Thursday, my luck changed. I got on a bus right away and arrived at the theatre in exactly twenty minutes. 可知，我正好用了20分鐘到達(dá)劇院。故選C。         

3.B考查猜測(cè)詞義。根據(jù)文章最后一段中的When I got to the theatre, I was relieved to see that nobody was waiting in line.可知，當(dāng)我到達(dá)劇院的時(shí)候，我看到?jīng)]人排隊(duì)，所以我感到高興、輕松。故選B。

4.C考查作者的寫(xiě)作意圖。根據(jù)文章的整體內(nèi)容可知，由于上班的原因我只能在午飯的時(shí)間去買(mǎi)票，可去那個(gè)城市的班車(chē)很不及時(shí)，我等了好幾天都沒(méi)有趕上合適的班車(chē)；有一次趕上了，到達(dá)那里的時(shí)候，排隊(duì)等候的人很多，無(wú)奈我只好返回。最后，我打車(chē)去那里，到達(dá)那里我發(fā)現(xiàn)沒(méi)有人排隊(duì)，我很高興。但后來(lái)我發(fā)現(xiàn)票已經(jīng)賣(mài)完了。所以作者寫(xiě)這篇文章是為了告訴讀者他買(mǎi)票所付出的努力。故選C。
