A.allowsapassengertotraveltoaplace

B.onebuyswhenonereturns

C.mustbereturnedifonewantstogethismoney

back

D.allowsapassengertotraveltoaplaceand

returnlater

答案為D。此題是詞匯理解題。文章第二段的第一句中“return

ticket〞的意思為“往返車票〞，選項(xiàng)D是對(duì)該詞語(yǔ)的正確解釋。

第2題

2.

Themaninthebookingofficementionedthe

child’sticketinorderto__________.

A.sendthewomanaway

B.getback￡15.50

C.saysorrytothewoman

D.makecleartheimportanceofthelaw

答案為A。此題是分析推理題。售票員誤售了車票，而女乘客沒(méi)有買車票，于是該售票員有了打發(fā)該乘客的借口，選項(xiàng)A中的“send…

away〞的意思為“打發(fā)、驅(qū)逐〞。

第3題

3.

A.musthaveaticketjustlikeagrown-up

B.cannottravelwithoutaticket

C.belowtheageoffourcantravelwithouta

ticket

D.cantravelwithgrown-upswithoutaticket

答案為C。此題是事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。文章第九段中售票員解釋說(shuō)，根據(jù)該國(guó)火車乘坐規(guī)那么，4歲以下的兒童無(wú)需買票。

第4題

4.

Atlastthewomangot__________fromtherailway

bookingoffice.

A.￡15.50

B.￡1.50

C.￡14

D.nothing

答案為D。此題是分析推理題。從文章第九段第二句得知：售票員說(shuō)該乘客要想得到14英鎊的房費(fèi)，那么須先補(bǔ)交15.5英鎊的車票錢。又可根據(jù)售票員的話推斷，由于他錯(cuò)售了車票，他不會(huì)追究補(bǔ)票錢，而乘客也拿不到房費(fèi)。

第5題

5.

Accordingtothepassage,whichofthefollowing

statementsisTRUE?

A.AftercheckingthetimetableTonyfoundthere

wasashipfromJerseyonJune26th.

B.Tonysaidsorrytothewomanandpaidher￡14.

C.ThewomandidnottravelatalltoJerseywith

herdaughtertospendherholiday.

D.Itwasclearthatthewomanwasnothonest.

答案為D。此題是是非判斷題。選項(xiàng)A、B、C中都存在細(xì)節(jié)與文章不符合的地方。選項(xiàng)D那么是對(duì)全章的推理判斷，該乘客沒(méi)有主動(dòng)自覺(jué)買兒童票，從而推導(dǎo)出她不是一個(gè)老實(shí)的人。
