Question

【题目】 Saturday morning meant one thing for Susan — doing the laundry.

She hated doing the laundry. Unenthusiastically, she took the pillow cases off all the pillows. Then she removed the fitted sheet from the mattress(床垫). She took the towel off the towel bar in the bathroom. She grabbed a couple of dirty dish towels out of the kitchen, and looked all around her apartment for anything else that needed washing. In the corner of her living room, a can of coins sat on top of the file cabinet. She fished out seven quarters. She opened the cabinet under her kitchen sink and grabbed a plastic bottle of liquid detergent(洗涤剂). Finally, she set her electronic timer for 35 minutes. The timer would remind her that the washing was done, and that it was time to go back downstairs and put the clothes into the dryer for 40 minutes. Without the timer, Susan would completely forget to check her clothes.

Susan carried the laundry basket downstairs. How happy she would be when her laundry was done for this week.

As she came close to the laundry room, she heard a familiar sound. The sound was the washer washing and the dryer drying. One of her neighbors had got there before her.

Muttering(低声抱怨), Susan took her basket back upstairs.

本文是一篇记叙文，叙述了苏珊一个并不走运的洗衣日。原本就不怎么愿意洗衣服的苏珊，好不容易收集好要洗的东西，拿到楼下洗衣房，却发现洗衣机和烘干机已经被邻居占用，只能无功而返。

【1】题意：苏珊多久洗一次衣服？

推理判断题。根据原文Saturday morning meant one thing for Susan — doing the laundry可知，每个星期六早晨，苏珊都要洗衣服，由此可推断她一周洗一次衣服。B选项Once a week“一周一次”符合题意，故选B。

【2】题意：根据本文内容，画线单词“unenthusiastically”的意思是？

词句猜测题。根据原文She hated doing the laundry. Unenthusiastically, she took the pillow cases off all the pillows可知，她讨厌洗衣服，她毫无热情地把所有枕头的枕套都取了下来，故“unenthusiastically”意为“毫无热情地”，故选D。

【3】题意：下列哪个事物没有被苏珊拿到洗衣房？

推理判断题。根据原文The timer would remind her that the washing was done, and that it was time to go back downstairs and put the clothes into the dryer for 40 minutes可知，计时器会提醒她洗完衣服，该下楼把衣服放进烘干机40分钟了。由此可推断，苏珊将计时器留在了楼上以便提醒自己，而没有拿到楼下洗衣房。D选项The electronic timer“电子计时器”符合题意，故选D。

【4】题意：我们能从本文中推断出什么？

推理判断题。根据原文As she came close to the laundry room, she heard a familiar sound. The sound was the washer washing and the dryer drying. One of her neighbors had got there before her可知，苏珊下楼准备拿衣服去洗时，却发现邻居抢先一步占用了洗衣机和烘干机，所以她没能洗衣服，只能又上楼去了。C选项Susan didn’t do the laundry and went back upstairs“苏珊没洗衣服就上楼去了”符合题意，故选C。
