I was very disappointed not to be able to go to the jazz Wap版

试题详情及答案解析

I was very disappointed not to be able to go to the jazz concert last Friday. The advertisement 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. Unfortunately, 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 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 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 wasrelievedto see that nobody was waiting in line. The reason, however, I quickly discovered, was that they had already sold all the tickets.

试题分析：一部我非常想看的爵士音乐会在上周五举行，但我非常遗憾的没有去。原因是之前我只有中午吃饭的45分钟去哪里买票，但是我工作的地方和剧场相距甚远！我该如何努力才能买到票呢？
【小题1】细节理解题。星期一到星期三我没有足够的时间坐公交车去，星期四我去了可但排队买票的人太多，星期五我坐出租车去的，但是票已经卖完了。所以我只取了剧院两次。因此选B。
【小题2】细节理解题。坐出租车我用了10分钟，坐公交车最快我用了20分钟，因此可以至少节省10分钟。故选B。
【小题3】词义猜测题。前几次我来到剧场的时候有很多人在排队，但这次居然一个人也没有，所以我第一反应应该是很“高兴” 。pleased 高兴的；sorry遗憾的； puzzled困惑的；surprised惊讶的。D项干扰性较强，因为我一开始以为这次能买到票，又来意识到票已经卖完了，所以一开始只是空欢喜。A项更恰当。故选A。
【小题4】主旨大意题。文章主要是讲了我为了买票所做出的努力的经历。故选C。
考点：故事类短文阅读。
