Question

An English traveler found himself in Norway with only enough money to buy the ticket for him to go back home. As he knew that it would take him only two days to get to England, he decided that he could easily spend the time without food. So he bought a ticket and got on the ship. The man closed his ears to the sound of the lunch bell. When dinnertime came, he didn't go to dinning room, saying that he was not feeling very well.

     The next morning he still didn't have breakfast and at lunchtime he again stayed in his room. But at dinnertime he was so hungry that he went to the dinning room and ate everything the waiter put in front of him. He got ready for the quarrel (争执).

【解析】

试题分析：文章大意：一位英国旅行者，由于所剩无几，打算在在返乡的轮船上省吃节用，然而却意外发现，其实不需要这么苦自己的胃。

1.An English traveler found himself in Norway with only enough money to buy the ticket for him to go back home. ”“So he bought a ticket and got on the ship.”和文章最后，那个服务员所说的话"There isn't any bill. On our ship meals are included (包括) in the money for the ticket," said the waiter. 可以明确地推断出这个故事发生在从Norway到England的轮船上。

2.“An English traveler found himself in Norway with only enough money to buy the ticket for him to go back home. As he knew that it would take him only two days to get to England, he decided that he could easily spend the time without food. ”我们可以知道，主人公在开始时不去餐厅，并不是身体不舒服，而是没钱。

3.But at dinnertime he was so hungry that he went to the dinning room and ate everything the waiter put in front of him. ”（so…that…“如此…以至于…”）可知，他太饿了以至于不管不顾地先吃了再说。
