Question

“If it rings one more time, I’ll hang up,” Amy thought hopefully, as she waited for someone to answer. Apologizing wasn’t an easy thing to do. 

“Hello,” a woman’s voice said. There was no backing out now. 

“May I speak to Missy, please?”

“Just a minute.”

In much less than a minute, Missy was on the phone. “Hi, who’s calling?” asked the cheerful voice. 

“It’s Amy. I just wanted to tell you that I’m sorry about what I said to you. I didn’t really mean it.” Amy paused, trying to think of what to say next. 

“Thank you, Amy. No hard feelings.”

“Missy, you’re a very nice person. You’re a lot nicer than I am!”

Missy laughed. “You’re not so bad, Amy. By the way, I’ve got some great news. Mr. Grumbell said that you were the only candidate for class president. He talked me into being a candidate too. Isn’t that cool?”

Amy didn’t think the news was cool. Missy was very popular; she’d get a lot of votes. Fortunately, Amy was in a gracious mood. “You’ll be a tough opponent, Missy,” she said. “May the best woman win.” “Thanks, Amy,” Missy replied. “But you might even win.”

Amy had to laugh. “Hey, I’m the one who’s supposed to make comments like that!”

Answer 1

【小题1】C

【小题2】B

【小题3】B

【小题4】D

【小题5】D

解析:

 Amy想向Missy道歉，但难以启口，最后打通电话。顺便说了班长候选的问题。

【小题1】C。推理判断题。根据第1段中Apologizing wasn’t an easy thing to do 和May I speak to Missy, please? 和It’s Amy. I just wanted to tell you that I’m sorry about what I said to you可推断Amy给Missy打电话是想向她道歉，因为Amy说的话伤害了她。因此可推断答案为C。

【小题2】B。推理判断题。根据文章开头 If it rings one more time, I’ll hang up, Amy thought hopefully, as she waited for someone to answer. Apologizing wasn’t an easy thing to do 可推断Amy希望没有人接电话的原因是他觉得道歉不是一件舒服的事。故答案为B。

【小题3】B。推理判断题。根据“Hello,” a woman’s voice said 由“一个女人的声音”可推知Amy不是一个人在家；不是她的妹妹，更不是她的爸爸接的电话。因此可推断是她的妈妈接的电话。故答案为B。

【小题4】D。推理判断题。根据Thank you, Amy. No hard feelings和Missy laughed. You’re not so bad, Amy 推知Missy很友好；根据“Missy, you’re a very nice person. You’re a lot nicer than I am!”可推知Amy也很友好。故答案为D。

【小题5】D。推理判断题。根据Missy laughed. You were the only candidate for class president(你是惟一的班长候选人)和He talked me into being a candidate too(他说服我也当候选人)。可推知Missy告诉Amy她想要的也是当班长。故答案为D。
