Question

【题目】Peter wondered why he didn’t have many friends. The reason was that he was always taking, never giving.

One day Peter told Bill, “I’d like to give a party on Saturday. I’d like you to come and bring Martha, too. ” “Thanks, Peter. We’d be happy to come. ”“Perhaps you’d like to bring your violin. You and Martha sing well together. I’m sure everyone will want you to sing for us. ”That was how Peter began to plan his party. Next he asked another friend, Betty, to bring a cake. “You make the best cake in the world, Betty, and I like to eat your cake better than have one from the bakery(面包店). ”Peter invited a few other friends to come to his party. He didn’t forget to ask for something from each of them. He even asked Jim Jackson and Mary Jackson to let him give the party at their house! They agreed.

The party was a big success. However, as the guests were leaving, they said “Thank you! ”to Bill and Martha for the music, Betty for the cake, the Jacksons for the use of the house and to others for their hard work. To Peter they just said, “Thanks for the invitation. ”

【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文讲述的是Peter没有太多的朋友，原因是他只知道索取，而不知道奉献。Peter想举行一个聚会，他向Bill借了小提琴，让Bill和Martha一起唱歌、向Betty借了蛋糕，甚至还向Jim和Mary借了房子来举行聚会。从每个人那里他都借了点东西，但是他却什么都不做。所以当最后聚会结束，大家离开的时候，客人们向每个人都表示了感谢，而对Peter只感谢了他的邀请。

【1】C细节理解题。根据短文“He even asked Jim and Mary Jackson to let him give the party at their house! They agreed.”的描述可知，Peter请求Jim和Mary Jackson同意，让他在他们的家里举行聚会，他们同意了。由此我们可以知道，聚会是在Peter的朋友家里举行的。故选C。

【2】B细节理解题。根据短文“Next he asked another friend, Betty, to bring a cake.”的描述可知，Peter请求Betty带蛋糕来，故我们可以知道A是正确的，Betty做的蛋糕；根据文中“Perhaps you'd like to bring your violin”的描述可知，Peter让Bill带小提琴来，故C是正确的；根据短文“He even asked Jim and Mary Jackson to let him give the party at their house!”的描述可知，the Jacksons 为聚会做了努力的工作，因为聚会是在他们家里举行的，而且很成功，故D也是正确的。根据短文“You and Martha sing well ”的描述可知，唱歌好的不是Mary，而是Martha，故B选项表述不对。故选B。

【3】C细节理解题。根据短文最后一段以及“To Peter they just said, “Thanks for the invitation.”的描述可知，Peter只是邀请朋友来参加聚会。结合选项可知应选C。

【4】C推理判断题。根据短文描述可知，Peter只想着能从别人那里得到什么，自己从不奉献，所以他的朋友很少。为了举行聚会，他向每个人都借了一些东西，甚至还跟朋友借房子举行聚会，因此Peter是一个很自私的人。聚会选项可知应选C。
