  After returning from her round trip, the angry woman stood outside the ticket office of the station.“The railway owes me 12 pounds,” she said to Harry Jenks, the young man working at the office.” You sold me a ticket for May 22nd, but there was no ship from Jersey that night.So my daughter and I had to stay in a hotel.It cost me 12 pounds.”

  Harry was worried.He remembered selling the woman a return ticket.“Come into the office, Madam,” he said politely.“I’ll just check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd.”

  The woman and her little girl followed him inside.She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered.There was no sailing on May 22nd.How could he have made such a careless mistake? He shouldn’t have sold her a ticket for that day.Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child.“You look sun burnt,” he said to her.“Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey?”

  “Yes,” she answered, shyly.“The beach was lovely.And I can swim too!”

  “That’s fine,” said Harry.“My little girl can’t swim a bit yet.Of course, she’s only three…”

  “I’m four,” the child said proudly.“I’ll be four and a half.”

  Harry turned to the mother.“I remember your ticket, Madam,” he said.“But you didn’t get one for your daughter, did you?”

  “Er, well…” the woman looked at the child.“I mean…she hasn’t started school yet, she’s only four.”

  “A four-year-old child must have a ticket, Madam.A child’s return ticket to Jersey costs …let me see… 13.50 pounds.The law is the law, but since the mistake is mine….”

  The woman stood up, took the child’s hand and left the office.

答案:1.C;2.B;3.A;4.D;5.D;
解析:

(1)

这是一道辨认事实细节题.粗看D似乎应该是此题的答案,但仔细辨认一下就不难发现短文中确定指出五月二十二日那天没有去Jersey的轮船,可是当读完the women所说的话后,你就会清楚地知道她生气的主要原因是她多花了一宿住旅店的钱.

(2)

仔细阅读短文的二、三段就可以知道是因为Harry没做好工作,5月22日晚上在Jersey无船的.

(3)

短文中的这句“Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child.”是解答该题的依据.

(4)

根据上下文对事情和年轻的售票员思想过程的叙述,可知这句话的意思是:按规定那妇女要付小孩的票钱,但售票员也有错.因此,他希望互相不追究,所以正确答案为D.

(5)

  从最后年轻人的那段话,及那位妇女一句话都没说,站起来,牵起小女孩的手就离开了票房这一事实,可以推理出那妇女的思想过程,即如果她要坚持让票房赔她一晚住宿营费的话,那么车站也可以按规定要她补买小女孩的票,这样她就会多付1.5英镑,因此,她也就不再坚持了.

  这篇短文的大致情节是:一位妇女向车站售票员索要12英镑,原因是:由于售票员工作的疏忽,买给这位妇女的票是5月22日的,那天并没有轮船出航.这位妇女和自己的女儿只好在旅馆住了一宿,花去了12英镑.可是当售票员和这位妇女攀谈时,得知她四岁的女儿没有买票,而儿童票价是13.5英镑.结果,这位妇女非但没有得到12英镑的补偿,反而欠车站1.5英镑.
