试题详情及答案解析

Once there was an old man in a town. He always forgot a lot of things. So his wife always had to say to him, “Don’t forget this!”
One day he went on a long trip alone. Before he left home, his wife said, “Now you have all these things. They are what you need for your trip. Take care of your things during the trip.” He went to the station, bought a ticket and got on the train with it.
About half an hour later, the conductor began to see the tickets. He came to the old man and said, “Will you please show me your ticket?” The old man looked for his ticket in all his pockets, but he could not find it. He was very worried. “I can’t find my ticket. I really bought a ticket before I got on the train.” said the old man.
“I believe you bought a ticket. All right, you don’t have to buy another one,” said the conductor kindly. “But how can I know where I’m going? – I can’t remember my station!” the old man said sadly.

试题分析：本文主要介绍了一个非常健忘的老人，买了火车票，上了火车，却不知道火车票到哪里去了，最后找不到火车票，也不知道自己应该在哪里下车。
【小题1】细节理解题。根据短文的第二句“He always forgot a lot of things.”的描述可知，这里指的是他总是忘记许多事情，所以说文中的老人应该是一个健忘的人，forgetful表示此意，故选C。
【小题2】细节理解题。根据短文的描述可知，老人是买了车票的，乘务员也相信老人买了车票，但是老人记不起把车票放哪里了。结合选项可知应选B。
【小题3】细节理解题。根据第二段第三行这一句“He went to the station, bought a ticket and go on the train with it.”的描述可知，老人是买了火车票之后才上了火车，也就是说老人在上了火车之前买了火车票，before表示在……之前的意思，故选B。
【小题4】细节理解题。老人在火车上找不到火车票，根据本文倒数第二句“I believe you bought a ticket. All right , you don’t have buy another one” said the conductor kindly.的描述可知，售票员是相信老人买了票的，故选C。
【小题5】细节理解题。根据本文的最后一句可知老人难过的愿因是老人不知道去哪里，是想不起来火车站的名称，也就是说他不知道到哪里下火车站，故本题更符合文章含义的是D项，故选D。
