Question

Dick lived in England. One day in January he said to his wife, "I’m going to fly to New York next week because I’ve got some work there." "Where are you going to stay there?" his wife asked. "I don’t know yet." Dick answered. "Please send me your address from there in a telegram (電報)," his wife said. "All right," Dick answered.
He flew to New York on January 31st and found a nice hotel in the center of the city. He put his things in his room and then he sent his wife a telegram. He put the address of his hotel in it.In the evening he didn’t have any work, so he went to a cinema. He came out at nine o’clock and said, "Now I’m going back to my hotel and have a nice dinner."He found a taxi (出租車) and the driver said, "Where do you want to go?" But Dick didn’t remember the name and address of his hotel.
"Which hotel are my things in?" he said, "And what am I going to do tonight?" But the driver of the taxi did not know. So Dick got out and went into a post office. There he sent his wife another telegram, and in it he wrote, "Please send me my address at this post office."

Answer 1

【小題1】B
【小題2】A
【小題3】B
【小題4】D
【小題5】C

解析【小題1】本文的第二行有一句I’m going to fly to New York next week because I’ve got some work there.意思為我要坐飛機去紐約，因為我在哪兒有一些事要去做，故本題選B。
【小題2】本文第三行有一句Please send me your address from there in a telegram (電報),意思為請在電報中把你所在的地址寄給我，所以迪克的妻子想要他的電報是想知道他工作的地方，故本題選A.
【小題3】本文第二段第一句提到他去了紐約到達城市中心的一個漂亮的旅館，故本題選B。
【小題4】根據文章意思可知，迪克晚上出去，把地址忘記在家里，所以無法回答他所在的旅館，于是又給他的妻子發了一個電報，要求他的妻子把原先發的電報發回來，所以是迪克的妻子把旅館的地址和名字寄給他，故本題選D。
【小題5】本文第二段第二行提到迪克到達旅館，就把旅館的地址通過電報發給他的妻子，故本題描述不正確的為C，故本題選C。
