Question

What Should We Do about That?

　　I found a job at the Baskin-Robbin's ice-cream shop a week ago. One day when I came in to work, the manager(经理) said that something had happened after I left the day before. A woman wanted to have a half-gallon(半加仑) of ice-cream. The manager asked her to pay $ 5.40 for the cream.

　　The woman questioned the price. She said last time she had bought a half gallon, “Denise” had wanted only $ 2.70. That is right price of a quarter(四分之一加仑).

　　Then the manager looked straight at me and said, “Well, Denise, what do you think we should do about that?”

　　I answered, “I think we should stop wearing cards.”

Answer 1

答案：B;C;D;D;D
解析：

剖析：1．这是一道细节题，短文第一段中One day when I came in to work, the manager said that something had happened after I left the day before.说明了作者到商店来上班时，经理告诉她商店里所发生的事情． 　　2．该题考查对文章细节的理解及综合判断能力，短文前两段中The manager asked her to pay 5.40 for the cream和“Denise” had wanted only $ 2.70两次价格进行比较，说明此次比上一次要多． 　　3．这是一道推理判断题．根据短文最后一段作者的答话“I think we should stop wearing cards.”可以推断出，这个商店的营业员胸前都有一个牌子，上面写着每个人的名字，所以买冰淇淋的女士能叫得出她的名字． 　　4．本题为深层理解题．由短文第三段中Then the manager looked straight at me可以看出，经理有点不高兴，才会直视Denise，说明她曾以错误的价格卖给了这位妇女半加仑冰淇淋． 　　5．本题为推理判断题．回答此题，要综合短文第一段中The manager asked her to pay $ 5.40 for the cream和短文第一段中“Denise” had wanted $ 2.70. That is right price of a quarter这两处信息，由此可以推算出，一加仑冰淇淋的价格是$ 2.70×4=$10.80．
