北郵《大學英語2》第三次階段作業帶答案

一、閱讀理解（共1道小題，共25.0分）

1.      William Henry Harrison, the ninth President of the United States, was born in a small town. As a boy, he was quiet and shy. In fact, he was so quiet that everyone thought he was stupid.
     Because of that, the people of the town liked to play jokes on him.
     “Here, William,” one of them would say. “Here is a nickel(五美分硬幣), and here is a dime（十美分硬幣）. Which one do you want?”
     He always chose the nickel, and then they all laughed at him.
     Finally, his mother took him aside and said to him, “I know that you are a smart boy, but sometimes you let people think you are not so smart. Why do you always choose the nickels instead of the dime?  Don't you know that a dime is worth much more than a nickel?”
     “Certainly, I know it,” William answered slowly.  “But if I choose the dime, they won't play the trick on me any more. Then I won’t get any more nickels.”

提示：[1]D.細節題。本題問“William Henry Harrison出生於______。”中心詞是“was born”，答案在第一段的第一句，該句告訴我們William出生於一個小鎮，所以答案是D。
[2]B.細節題。本題問“人們認為他非常笨，這是因為_______。”中心詞是“thought he was stupid”，答案在第一段的最后一句，該句大意是“當他還是個孩子的時候，他不喜歡說話而且很害羞。實際上，他是如此的安靜以至於別人都認為他很笨”。據此可知答案是B。
[3]C.細節題。本題問“每當人們想和他開玩笑的時候，人們就讓他_______。”中心詞是“played tricks on him”，答案在第二段和第三段，只不過第二段中出現的是“play jokes on him”，這兩個詞組意思相近。第二段大意是“就因為這個，所以人們喜歡開他的玩笑。”第三段的大意是“有人會說：‘過來，William。這里有一個5美分硬幣和一個10美分的硬幣。你想選擇哪一個？’”根據這兩段，我們可以知道答案是C。
[4]A.細節題。本題問“他媽媽將他帶到一旁問他為什么_______。”答案在第五段，該段大意是“最后，他媽媽將他帶到一旁對他說道：‘我知道你是個聰明的孩子，但是有些時候你讓別人覺得你不是那么聰明。為什么你總是選擇5美分的硬幣而不選擇10美分的呢？難道你不知道10美分的硬幣比5美分的值錢嗎？’”據此可知答案是A。
[5]D.推斷題。本題問“從故事中我們可以推測出William Henry Harrison是______。”答案在最后一段，該段大意是“William慢慢地回答道：‘我當然知道。但是，如果我選擇了10美分的硬幣，他們就不會再和我開玩笑了。這樣的話，我就再也得不到5美分的硬幣了。’”據此可知答案是D（聰明的）。
