Question

【题目】 Sophie's World

Several days went by without any word from the philosophy（哲学）teacher. Tomorrow was Thursday, May 17-Nowway's National Day. School would be closed on the 18th as well. As they walked home after school, Joanna suddenly said, “Let's go camping! ”

Sophie's immediate reaction（反应）was that she couldn't be away from the house for long. But then she said, “Sure, why not?"

A couple of hours later, Joanna arrived at Sophie's door with a large backpack. Sophie had packed hers as well, and she also had a tent.

When Sophie's mother got home around five o'clock, she gave them a sermon （指导）about what they must and must not do. She also insisted on knowing where they were going to set up camp.

They told her they planned to head for Grouse Top. They might be lucky enough to hear the mating call of the grouse（松鸡）next morning.

Sophie had a secret motive（动机）for choosing that particular spot. She thought that Grouse Top must be pretty close to the major's cabin（少校的木屋）. Something was driving her to return to it, but she didn't dare to go alone. he two girls walked down the path that led from the little cul-de-sac（street open at one end only）just beyond Sophie's garden gate. They chatted about this and that, and Sophie enjoyed taking a little time off from everything having to do with philosophy.

By eight o'clock they had set up their tent in the open air by Grouse Top. They had prepared themselves for the night. When they had eaten their sandwiches, Sophie asked, “Have you ever heard of the major's cabin?"

“The major's cabin?"

“There is a but in the woods somewhere near here... by a little lake. A strange man lived there once, a major.”

“Does anyone live there now?"

“Do you want to go and see?"

Joanna was not full of interest, but in the end they set out. The sun was low in the sky.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】D

【2】C

【3】D

【解析】

本文讲述了乔安娜和苏菲去露营，苏菲的妈妈多叮咛了她们几句，告诉她们什么该做，什么不该做。她们沿着小路一直走，走到少校的小屋。最后虽然乔安娜不感兴趣，但是还是和苏菲一起去看看。

【1】细节理解题。根据“As they walked home after school, Joanna suddenly said, “Let's go camping! ””放学回家时，乔安娜突然说:“我们去野营吧！”，故选D。

【2】推理判断题。根据“When Sophie's mother got home around five o'clock, she gave them a sermon （指导）about what they must and must not do. She also insisted on knowing where they were going to set up camp.”她指导她们必须做什么和不能做什么，所以她很担心，故选C。

【3】推理判断题。选项A放假天数在文中没有提及，所以排除A；根据文章“Sophie enjoyed taking a little time off from everything having to do with philosophy.”两人并没有聊哲学，所以排除B；根据“Joanna was not full of interest, but in the end they set out.”乔安娜并不十分感兴趣，但最后他们还是出发了，所以排除C；根据““Does anyone live there now?"“Do you want to go and see?"”她们去看那个小屋，所以Sophie 之前可能去过，所以认识，故选D。

推理判断就是根据文章所提供的信息，脱离字面理解的局限，抓住关键细节，得出合乎逻辑的结论。所以我们可以根据文章中的相关细节去判断推理，得知答案。

本文第二题考查推理判断题。根据“When Sophie's mother got home around five o'clock, she gave them a sermon （指导）about what they must and must not do. She also insisted on knowing where they were going to set up camp.”她指导她们必须做什么和不能做什么，所以她很担心，故选C。
