Question

根据短文内容回答下面的问题。
As you’re using e-mails, remember that sending and getting letters can sometimes bring about serious trouble.
When Jim left the snow-covered streets of London for a holiday in New York, his wife was on a business trip and was planning to meet him there the next day. When he reached his hotel in New York, he decided to send his wife a quick e-mail. But he couldn’t find the piece of paper on which he had written her e-mail address. He tried his best to remember where he had put it, but failed. Unluckily, he made a mistake and sent it to an old woman. Her husband had died a few years ago. When she saw the e-mail, she gave a terrible shout and fell on the floor. Her family rushed into the room and saw the message on the computer.
“Dearest wife, everything is ready for your arrival tomorrow.
Love, Jim.
P.S. it’s hot here.”
【小题1】Where was Jim for his holiday?
【小题2】Why couldn’t Jim write his wife’s e-mail address correctly?
【小题3】Was it hot in London?

Answer 1

【小题1】He is in New York for his holiday.
【小题2】Because he couldn’t find the piece of paper on which he had written her e-mail address.
【小题3】No, it wasn’t.

解析【小题1】根据for a holiday in New York,可知是去伦敦旅行，故答：He is in New York for his holiday.
【小题2】根据But he couldn’t find the piece of paper on which he had written her e-mail address. 可知答：Because he couldn’t find the piece of paper on which he had written her e-mail address.
【小题3】it’s hot here.不但可以表示这里很热，而且可以表示这里的人很热情的意思。联系上文the snow-covered streets of London伦敦是冬季，纽约同样处于北半球也应该是冬季，不应该很热。以及下文把这个老妇人吓昏过去的事实，也证明了这句话是这里的人们很热情的意思。故答;No, it wasn’t.
