试题详情及答案解析

Some time ago I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended, as there are a whole lot of antique(古董) shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception (接待). I was quite wrong. The man wouldn’t even look at my chair. The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth－so I decided that my approach must be wrong.
I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, "Would you like to buy a chair?" He looked it over carefully and said, "Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?" "Twenty pounds," I said. "OK," he said, "I’ll give you twenty pounds." "It’s got a slightly broken leg," I said. "Yes, I saw that, it’s nothing."
Everything was going according to plan and I was getting excited. "What will you do with it?" I asked. "Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done." "I’ll buy it," I said. "What do you mean? You’ve just sold it to me," he said. "Yes, I know but I’ve changed my mind. I am sorry. I’ll give you twenty-seven pounds for it." "You must be crazy," he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. "I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair." "You’re right," I said. "And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, “ Would you mend this chair for me?”. “I wouldn’t have agreed to do it," he said. "We don’t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I’ll mend this for you, shall we say for a fiver (five pounds)?" He was a very nice man and was greatly amused (感到有趣) by the whole thing.

试题分析：本文主要讲了一天我发现我的桌子的一只腿坏掉了，因为我家附近很有多古董店，所以我认为把桌子修好，应该没有很大的问题。但是当我扛着桌子到第一家店的时候，店员几乎没有看我的桌子，第二家虽然比第一家礼貌一点，但是也一样没看，直到第三家、第四家都一样。到第五家的时候，我首先问店主，是否买桌子，在谈好20英镑成交后，我又提出23英镑买回修好的桌子，店员明白我是想把桌子修好之后，提出28英镑修好这张桌子。
【小题1】推断题题。由第一自然段可知作者的桌子的一只腿坏掉了，准备拿到附近的古董店去修理，因此他去第一家店是想让别人帮他修桌子。故选D。
【小题2】细节题。由第一自然段so I decided that my approach must be wrong.。Approach方法；途径；接近。意思是：我决定，我的方法肯定有问题。故选D。
【小题3】推断题。根据最后一自然段，可知：我改变之前的方法，进入古董店，先说自己买桌子，后来跟老板商量，再买回老师修理好的桌子。而在我说出自己要买会修理好的桌子的时候，老板发现了我的真实意图。故选C。
【小题4】细节题。由最后一自然段But I’ll mend this for you, shall we say for a fiver (five pounds)?意思是：但是我会为你修理好这张桌子，我们可以再多5英镑吗？故选D。
【小题5】推断题。文章前面讲到我开始跟老板讲要修桌子，第一家、第二家，甚至第三家、第四家，都没有人愿意帮我修理，后来，我改变方式，先跟古董店老板说要买桌子，再买回修理好的桌子，这样就可以把桌子修好，故表现了作者的聪明。故选C。
