16.Andy never wanted to go to bed on time.His parents had explained to him how important it was to go to bed early and get a good rest.But Andy paid no attention to them,and they didn't know what to do until one weekend when they were visiting Andy's grandparents.Grandpa Peter heard all about it and said,"This sounds like a job for Tubby."So Andy's parents loaded the cat onto the car and returned home.
That night,at bedtime,the same problem happened.Andy didn't want to go to bed,and even though his parents waited a while to see if Tubby would solve the problem,nothing happened.
Hours later,Andy finally decided to go to bed.But what a surprise when he entered his bedroom!Tubby was in his bed,totally sprawling out,pot-belly in the air,and snoring like an express train.
Andy tried to move the cat,but there was no way of moving him an inch.That night he hardly slept,lying on one tiny corner of his bed.
The next day the same thing happened,even though Andy was much more tired from not having slept well.When the third day arrived,he had understood that if he wanted to sleep in his bed,he would have to get into it before Tubby did.That night,when his parents only started to mention the topic of bedtime,Andy rushed upstairs and dived into bed.His parents could not believe it.They knew nothing about Tubby in the bed,nor did they understand why Andy went to bed on time without complaint.They were so happy about this that they stayed up quite late,celebrating.

5 C 推理判断题.这句话的本意是"这听起来像是Tubby的一个工作".根据下文"to see if Tubby would solve the problem,"以及短文最后一段描述,可知奶奶说的是,Tubby能帮助解决安迪的睡觉问题.故选C.
6 B 词义猜测题.根据前文"Tubby was in his bed,totally sprawling out,pot-belly in the air"及下文"like an express train"像一辆特快列车.可知此处指的是Tubby的鼾声就像是一列特快列车.故此处指的是发出噪音的意思,选B.
7 A 细节理解题.根据短文最后一段"When the third day arrived,he had understood that if he wanted to sleep in his bed,he would have to get into it before Tubby did."及前文二三四段描述,可知如果安迪不抢在Tubby之前占据这张床的话,他又将度过一个不眠之夜,故选A.
