Question

    There was a very self-sufficient (自负的) blind man,who did a lot of traveling alone. He was making his first trip to Texas and happened to be seated next to a Texan on the flight. The Texan spent a lot of time telling him how everything is bigger and better in Texas. By the time the blind man had reached his destination (目的地) ，a large hotel,he was very excited about being in Texas.

    The long trip had worn him out a little so he decided to stop at the bar for a small drink and a light snack before going up to his room to change his clothes. When the waitress set down his drink,it was in a huge cup. ‘‘Wow,I had heard everything in Texas is bigger,” he told her.

    “That's right”，she answered. The blind man ate his snack and finished his drink. After drinking so much,it was only natural his next stop was going to the restroom. He asked the waitress where it was. She told him to turn left at the register (登 i己处) and it would be the second door on the right.

   He reached the first door and continued down the hall. A few steps later he stumbled (缂脚) and missed the second door altogether and ended up going through the third door instead. Not knowing he had entered the swimming area he walked forward and fell into the swimming pool.

    Remembering everything he had heard about things being bigger in Texas,as soon as he had his head above water he started shouting, “Don’t flush (7中 洗) ！

   Don’t flush!”

导读这是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了一个肓人去德克萨斯州旅 游的故事。

详析

1. B细节理解题。从第二段的“The long trip had worn him out a little so he decided to stop at the bar for a small drink and a light snack before going up to his room to change his clothes. ” 可得出答案。

2. C词义猜测题。由waiter是男服务员和下面的人称用的是she,可推断出waitress是女服务员。

3. D细节理解题。从第一段的讲述中可知他第一次去德克萨斯州，对德州一无所知，只是从旁边的一个德州人那 儿了解到那里的东西又大又好。

4. C细节理解题。从对他去厕所的描述中可知他错过了厕所，而是进了第三个门，特别是从“Not knowing he had entered the swimming area he walked forward and fell into the swimming pool. ”可知他错进了游泳池。

5. A推理判断题。从最后一段肓人所想“德州的任何东西 都更大”和所说“不要冲(抽水马桶) ”可知，他以为自 己掉进了马桶。

有一个很自负的盲人，经常独自旅行。他第一次去德克萨斯州旅行时，在飞机上他碰巧坐在了一个德克萨斯人身 边。德克萨斯人花了很多时间告诉他德克萨斯州的一切南

是如何大如何好。当盲人到达他的目的地 个大旅赛时，他对于能够居住在德克萨斯州感到兴奋不已。

长途旅行使他感到有点累了，所以在去他的房间换衣朋 之前，他决定停下来到一个小酒吧喝点酒吃点零食。女服劣 员将他要的酒放入了一个巨大的杯子里。“哇，我早听说相 克萨斯州的一切都比较大，”他告诉女服务员。

“你说对了，”她回答到。盲人吃了零食，喝完了酒。相 喝了这么多，自然下一站是去洗手间。他问服务员洗手间名那里，她告诉他在登记处向左转，右边第二个门便是，

他达到了第一个门，又继续沿着大厅走走了几步之后 他的脚被綷了一下，他错过了整个第二个门而进入了第三个 门。由于不知道自己已经进入了游泳区，他继续向前走，掉 进了游泳池。

想起他所听到的德克萨斯州的一切都比其他地方的大， 一浮出水面他就大喊，“不要冲水！不要冲水！”
