题目内容
15.Our plan was to drive into Cambridge,catch the 7:34 train to Liverpool Street Station,then to separate and meet again for lunch.We should have arrived at Liverpool at 9:19,but due to a typical London fog,the train had to move along so slowly that it was not until 10:30 that it got there.In spite of our late arrival,Joan,my wife's sister,decided that she would go to see the Crown Jewels in the Tower of London while we went shopping.It was only after her sister had disappeared into the fog that my wife realized that we hadn't made clear where we should meet for lunch.Since I had our three tickets for the concert in my pocket,this was indeed a problem.There seemed to be nothing we could do other than taking a taxi to the Tower of London,and try to find her there.Needless to say,what we did was nothing but fruitless.It was then one o'clock,and the concert began at 2:30."Perhaps she will think of waiting outside the concert hall,"suggested my wife hopefully.By this time the fog was so thick that road traffic had to stop,and the only way to get there was by underground railway.Hand in hand we felt our way along the road to where we thought the nearest station should be.An hour later we were still trying to find it.Just as I was about to lose my temper completely when we met a blind man tapping his way confidently through the fog.With his help we found Tower Hill tube station just fifty yards down the road.
By now it was far too late even to try to get to the concert hall before the performance began at 2:30,so we decided to return to Cambridge.It took seven long hours instead of the usual two to make that journey.Nor were we able to get any food and drink on the train.Tired and hungry,we finally reached home at ten,opening the door to the sound of the telephone bell.It was Joan; she had seen the Crown Jewels,had managed to get another ticket for concert,and had had a wonderful dinner at a restaurant near the hotel where she decided to stay for the night.Now she was ringing to discover whether we had had an equally fulfilling day.

A.Because they arrived late at Liverpool.

分析 我们的计划是开车去剑桥,赶上7:34去利物浦街车站的火车,然后分开,再见面吃午饭.我们本该在九点十九分到达利物浦,但是由于伦敦典型的大雾,火车不得不慢慢地走,直到10:30才到达那里.尽管我们很晚才到达,但我妻子的姐姐,琼,在我们去购物的时候,她决定去看看伦敦塔上的王冠.直到她姐姐消失在雾中,我的妻子才意识到我们还没有弄清楚我们应该在哪里见面吃午饭.因为在我的口袋里我有三张我们音乐会的票,这确实是一个问题,我们除了乘出租车去伦敦塔外,然后试着在伦敦的塔上找到她,好像没有别的办法,毋庸置疑,我们所做的一切都是徒劳的.
当时是一点钟,音乐会在两点半开始,"也许她会想到在音乐厅外等候",我的妻子说,这时,雾太浓了,路上的交通不得不停下,而唯一的到达那儿办法就是用地铁,手拉着手,沿着路我们摸索着到我们认为的最近的车站该在的地方.就在我快要发脾气的时候,我们遇到了一个盲人,他自信地在雾中穿行.在他的帮助下,我们在路的前方五十码处发现了塔希尔地铁站.
现在已经太迟了,在两点半的演出开始前,我们已经来不及去音乐厅了,所以我们决定回到剑桥,这次行程要花上7个小时的时间,而不是通常的2个小时,我们也没能在火车上吃到喝到,又累又饿,我们十点的时候终于回到家,听着电话铃声打开门,那是琼,她看到了皇冠上的珠宝,设法弄到了另一张音乐会的票,在旅馆附近的一家餐馆吃了一顿美妙的晚餐,她决定在那里过夜.现在她打电话来,想知道我们是否有同样充实的一天.
