Question

I think the most terrible thing in life for my little brother is getting up in the morning. He is almost sick when my mother calls, "Herbert! It's seven o'clock! Get up!" Herbert answers, "I'm coming!" and goes right back to sleep. I'm not at all like my brother. I don't like to go to bed at night but I don't mind getting up in the morning. I usually wake up before my mother calls me. I jump out of bed and go into the bathroom to take a shower. I get dressed, brush my teeth, comb my hair, and get ready to go downstairs for breakfast as soon as my mother calls. But not Herbert. He just sleeps. A military band (軍樂隊) in our bedroom could not wake him up. I call him and say, "Get up! Mum will be up here to pull you out of bed if you don't get up immediately!" But he just sleeps. After calling a few more times my mother has to come upstairs and pull Herbert out of bed. It's that way every day with my little brother. Perhaps some day he'll learn to get up on time, but I really don't think so.

解析試題分析：這篇短文中作者通過對比的方式，主要講述了自己和弟弟兩人截然不同的作息習慣：我習慣早起，而弟弟即使媽媽再三催促也還是賴床不起。
【小題1】細節理解題。根據短文 the most terrible thing in life for my little brother is getting up in the morning.描述，可知對弟弟來說時候中最麻煩的是早上起床，而非上學。故填B。
【小題2】細節理解題。根據下文 I don't like to go to bed at night but I don't mind getting up in the morning. 描述，可知作者晚上不喜歡睡覺，但不介意早起。而沒有提及喜歡早睡的問題，故填B。
【小題3】細節理解題根據下文，I usually wake up before my mother calls me. I jump out of bed and go into the bathroom to take a shower.可知作者經常在媽媽叫之前就下床走進浴室洗澡。故填A。
【小題4】細節理解題。根據短文Herbert answers, "I'm coming!" and goes right back to sleep.描述，可知弟弟回答之后依然繼續睡覺。故填B。
【小題5】細節理解題。根據短文After calling a few more times my mother has to come upstairs and pull Herbert out of bed. It's that way every day with my little brother. （媽媽多次叫了之后，不得不上樓掀弟弟的被子。這是每天對付弟弟的方式）故選A。
