Question

Late one afternoon, when a professor was walking along a country road, he saw a farmer eating his supper alone on the road before his house.

The professor walked up to the farmer and asked, “Why are you eating here alone?”

“Well, sir,” answered the farmer after a short pause, “the chimney(煙囪) smokes”

“That’s too bad,” said the professor. “But it shouldn’t be too difficult to fix. Let me have a look at it.”

And before the farmer could say a word, the professor was at the door. A broom(掃帚) fell on his shoulder and a woman’s voice shouted, “Go away, you old rascal（無賴）, or I’ll kill you…”

【解析】

試題分析：這篇短文講述的是一個教授在鄉(xiāng)間的小路上散步，看見一個獨自在路上吃飯的農(nóng)民。農(nóng)民說他家的煙囪冒煙了，教授以為是他家的煙囪出了什么毛病，所以想幫助他修理一下。其實農(nóng)民所說的煙囪冒煙了，意思是他的老婆生氣了。

1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文中“That’s too bad,” said the professor. “But it shouldn’t be too difficult to fix. Let me have a look at it.”的內(nèi)容可知，當(dāng)教授知道這個農(nóng)民家里的煙囪出了問題的時候，他想幫助他修理一下。故選A。

2.推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文中的內(nèi)容可知，當(dāng)教授剛剛走到門口，農(nóng)民的妻子就拿著掃帚打他，顯然她把教授誤以為是他的丈夫了。故選C。

3.推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文的開頭可知，當(dāng)教授看到一個農(nóng)民在路上吃飯的時候，他感到很好奇，所以才去問那個農(nóng)民是怎么回事。故D選項是正確的。根據(jù)短文中的內(nèi)容可知，當(dāng)教授想幫農(nóng)民修煙囪的時候，文中并沒有說農(nóng)民很高興，故A不對；根據(jù)短文的內(nèi)容可知，是農(nóng)民的妻子拿掃帚打那個教授，故B不對；文中也沒有說明農(nóng)民高興在路上吃飯，故C也不符合文意。

4.主旨大意題。根據(jù)這個故事的主要內(nèi)容可知，農(nóng)民所說的煙囪冒煙了，指的是老婆生氣了，并不是煙囪真的有什么毛病了。故應(yīng)該選B。

考點：故事類短文閱讀。
