阅读理解

For Jason, the youngest of the three Hardman children, Ellsinore was wonderful, but it wasn’t perfect. Something very important was missing—books. There had been libraries at his father’s last duty station, and Jason had used them all regularly. But the library nearest to Ellsinore was in Monoroe, six miles away, and it had a rule that limited him to borrowing three books a week.

Jason was then ten years old, and he mentioned the problem to his mother, Linda Hardman. She knew of several boxes of books kept in Ellsinore’s last library, which had closed several years before for short of money.“Why don’t you look through those old books and see if there are any you can use?” she suggested.

As Jason began sorting through the books, he became excited. The books were old but in good condition. And suddenly an idea hit him. There were enough books to start a library.

So he went to his father.“ I want to start a library and I need your help,” he said.

About a week later, Jason’s father led him to the Mayor of the town. The Mayor listened to Jason very carefully and promised to consider his plan before making a decision.

A month went by. Jason heard nothing about his plan from the Mayor. He soon found the Mayor’s phone number and each night after supper he would pick up the phone and call the Mayor. After weeks of nightly calls, the Mayor began to think that building a library was not just a passing idea for the boy. He then agreed to offer help.

Answer 1

答案：C;A;D;D;C
解析：

1、该题为计算题。根据文章第一句“For Jason, the youngest of the three Hardman children…”，可以知道Hardman一家有三个孩子；再根据下文中提到Jason有父亲和母亲，这样可以推断出他家有5口人。 2、该题为推理判断题。根据第一段中“There had been libraries at his father’s last duty station…”一句话，特别是“There”一词，可以判断出这是个地方的名称。 3、该题为细节判断题。根据文章第一段的说明可以知道该城镇没有图书馆，最近的城镇有图书馆，但是每周只能借三本书。以上信息说明他没有足够的书籍来阅读。 4、该题为细节题。阅读文章最后两段相关的信息句，没有发现他找到电话号码的途径。 5、该题为词义猜测题。passing的意思是“短暂的，一时的”。
