解析:
内容概要:本文讲述了Tom第一次到英格兰,不听朋友的建议,独自外出,结果把火车的方向弄反了,以致到错了地方。
答案简析:
【小题1】against one’s advice意为“违背别人的建议”。
【小题2】通过下文得知他是一人出来,故用alone。
【小题3】下面街道人多为患,所以用“bad”。
【小题4】for表原因,用以解释 bad time。
【小题5】要排长队购票是不以他的意志为转移的,他是“不得不”排队。
【小题6】turn表示“轮次”。
【小题7】售票员听不懂他的话,他却把票买成了,前后句显然有“转折”关系。
【小题8】问路一般用ask the “way”。
【小题9】be packed with be crowded with。正因为人拥挤,才没上得了第一趟火车。
【小题10】manage to do表示“设法得以做成某事”,没做成当然用not manage了。
【小题11】因为是在拥挤的站台上,显然获得的是一个稍好些的站的“位置”。
【小题12】从from behind 来看,他是被人推向前的。sweep在此意思是“猛推”。
【小题13】push与sweep同义。
【小题14】看不清的应是“站名”。signs应注意排除,毕竟他首次到英国,即使各个站有其独特的符号、标记,他也不可能知道。
【小题15】站就是火车“停”靠的地方。
【小题16】这里的stop与station同义。
【小题17】觉得旅行如此轻松,心情当然是“高兴的”。
【小题18】选项D应注意排除,因为他不是英国人,所以没到过这个车站是明摆着的,故这一答案是正确,但与hear of 相比,不能算是最佳答案。
【小题19】这里的difficulty指他当时的一种迷茫。究竟是怎么一回事,他还未知道,所以谈不上什么错误,故选项B,不能确定为答案。
【小题20】听说Tom乘车的方向完全反了,那人的第一反应应当是觉得好笑,即答案应在A、B之间。joke不可能出现在脸上,故答案只能为B。
