Question

Mr. Robinson had to travel somewhere on business and as he was in a hurry, he decided to go by air. He liked to sit beside a window when he was flying. So, when he got on to the plane, he looked for a window seat. He found all of them had already been taken except one. There was a soldier sitting in the seat beside this one and Mr. Robinson was happy that he had not taken the one by the window; but, anyhow, he at once went towards it. When he reached it, however, he saw there was a notice on it. It was written in ink and said “This seat is reserved for proper load balance. Thank you.” Mr. Robinson had never seen such a notice in a plane before, but he thought that the plane must be carrying something heavy in its baggage room which made it necessary to have the passengers properly balanced, so he walked on and found another empty seat, not beside a window, to sit in. Then, when the plane was quite full, a very beautiful girl stepped into the plane. The soldier quickly took the notice off the seat beside him and in this way succeeded in having the girl beside him during the whole trip.

试题分析：文章大意：通过Mr.Robinson一次乘坐飞机所经历的一件事，讲述一位士兵成功的与美女坐在一起的故事。

1.C 细节理解题：根据He liked to sit beside a window when he was flying. So, when he got on to the plane, he looked for a window seat. He found all of them had already been taken except one. 当他乘坐飞机时他喜欢坐在窗户边。因此，当他上了飞机，他就找靠窗的座位。他发现只有一个靠窗的座位了，其他的都已经有人坐了。所以，选C。有个他想要的座位。

2.B 推理判断题：根据When he reached it, however, he saw there was a notice on it. 但是当他到哪儿的时候，看见座位上有个通知。（没料到）和Mr. Robinson had never seen such a notice in a plane before,他以前在飞机上从来没见过这样的通知。

3.A 推理判断题：根据when the plane was quite full, a very beautiful girl stepped into the plane. The soldier quickly took the notice off the seat beside him and in this way succeeded in having the girl beside him during the whole trip. 飞机快满员了，一位非常漂亮的姑娘走了进来。那位士兵迅速把旁边座位上的通知取了下来，这样他就成功的一路有这位美女坐在身旁。没有提到他跟美女是情侣关系，所以排除B.

4.D 推理判断题：这是一个小故事，所以既不是长篇小说 novel, 也不是新闻报道news report，更不是科幻小说 science fiction.
