Question

We have all experienced days when everything goes wrong．A day may begin well enough，but suddenly everything seems to get out of control．It seems as if a single unimportant event may cause a number of things to happen．Let us suppose that you are preparing a meal and keeping an eye on the baby at the same time．The telephone rings and this means your troubles are beginning．While you are on the phone，the baby pulls the table-cloth off the table，destroying your half-prepared meal．You hang up hurriedly and attend to your baby．Meanwhile，the meal gets burnt．As if this were not enough to bring you to tears，your husband arrives,unexpectedly bringing three guests to dinner．

Things can go wrong on a number of people on the road. During the rush hour one evening two cars hit each other and both drivers began to argue．The woman driver behind the two cars happened to be a learner．She suddenly got into a panic(恐慌)and stopped her car．This made the driver following her stop suddenly．His wife was sitting beside him holding a large cake．As she was thrown forward，the cake went right through the window and landed on the road．Seeing a cake flying through the air，a truck-driver had to stop his truck all of a sudden．The truck was carrying empty beer bottles and hundreds of them slid off the back of the truck on the road．This led to yet another angry argument．Meanwhile，the traffic piled up behind．It took the police nearly an hour to get the traffic on the move again．In the meanwhile，the truck-driver had to sweep up hundreds of broken bottles.Only two dogs were enjoying themselves from the accident，for they were happily having what was left of the cake．It was just one of those days!

試題分析：本文講述的是我們都會經歷不順心的一天，開始時，可能還不錯，但突然間似乎一切都失去了控制，許許多多的事情都趕在了同一時刻出現，好像是一件無關緊要的小事引起了一連串的連鎖反應，文章列舉了兩個實例場景詳細的說明。

1.推斷題。由第二句A day may begin well enough，but suddenly everything seems to get out of control．It seems as if a single unimportant event may cause a number of things to happen。一天開始時，可能還不錯，但突然間似乎一切都失去了控制，好像是一件無關緊要的小事引起了一連串的連鎖反應。可知，B正確，即禍不單行。C選項比較有干擾，文章主要講連鎖反應這種情況，而并非一件小事會引起巨大的麻煩。

2.細節推斷題。由第二自然段It took the police nearly an hour to get the traffic on the move again．警察花費了將近一個小時才使交通恢復過來。由此可知，當發生了交通事故之后，警察要使交通保持通暢，讓司機們繼續前行。故選B.

3.細節題。由While you are on the phone，the baby pulls the table-cloth off the table，destroying your half-prepared meal．就在你接電話的時候，還在把桌布從桌子上扯了下來，毀壞了你準備了一半的飯菜。可知，在你做飯過程中電話鈴響起，你最好先把孩子放在遠離飯桌的地方，再去接電話。故選A。

4.推斷題。排除法，文章第一段就點明主旨，一件事情會引起一連串的反應，我們所有人都經歷過這樣的事情，故可從這則故事中，我們看到了像這樣的事故其實是很普遍的。考點：記敘文
