试题详情及答案解析
Everybody has one of those days when everything goes wrong. This is what happened to Harry.
He got up one morning very late because he had forgotten to wind up his alarm clock(闹钟). He tried to shave(刮脸) quickly and cut himself. When he got dressed, he got blood all over his clean shirt, so he had to find another one. The only other shirt that was clean needed ironing(熨), so he ironed it. While he was ironing it, there was a knock at the door. It was the man to read the electricity meter(表). He showed him where the meter was, said good-bye and found that the iron had burnt a hole in his shirt. So he had to wear the one with the blood on it after all. By this time it was very late, so he decided he couldn’t go to work by bus. He telephoned for a taxi to take him to work. The taxi arrived and Harry got in and began to read the newspaper.
In another part of the town, a man had killed a woman with a knife and was seen to run away in a taxi. When Harry’s taxi stopped outside his office, a policeman happened to be standing there. He saw the blood on Harry’s shirt, and took him to the police station. He was kept till 3 o’clock in the afternoon before the police were sure that he was not the man they wanted. When he finally arrived at the office at about four, his boss took a look at him and told him to go away and find another job.

【小题1】细节理解题。根据第一段“Everybody has one of those days when everything goes wrong. This is what happened to Harry.”可知,每个人都有不顺利的时候,亨利也不例外,说明亨利经历了不幸的一天,故选B。
【小题2】推理判断题。根据第二段“...cut himself. When he got dressed, he got blood all over his clean shirt, ...The only other shirt that was clean needed ironing(熨), so he ironed it.”可知,亨利刮脸时划伤了自己,衣服上沾满了血渍,他不得不换一件新的,然而,那件新的衬衫需要熨烫,根据“While he was ironing it, there was a knock at the door.”可知,正在熨衣服时,有人敲门,因此,顺序是c, b, d,由此可知答案,故选D。

【小题4】推理判断题。根据第二段“So he had to wear the one with the blood on it after all. ...He telephoned for a taxi to take him to work.”和第三段“a man had killed a woman with a knife and was seen to run away in a taxi”可知,一个杀人犯乘坐出租车逃跑,而亨利身上有血渍,巧合的是他也是乘坐的出租车,说明警察误把亨利当成了杀人犯,故选B。
【小题5】推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句“When he finally arrived at the office at about four, his boss took a look at him and told him to go away and find another job.”可知,亨利下午大概四点才到达公司,因为迟到太长时间,老板让他再重新找一份工作,说明老板把亨利解雇了,故选C。
