Question

【题目】阅读下列短文，回答问题

One Saturday afternoon, Tom and his sister, Viv, were having tea in a café. Tom was telling Viv about his history project. “On Monday I am giving a speech in front of the class. It will be about famous inventions,” Tom told Viv. “Let’s go to the public library and find a book on inventions,” suggested Viv. “We’ll call the library first to see what time it closes.”

They walked over to an old telephone box and went inside. Just as Viv was about to ring ‘1888’, the number for Directory Enquiries（电话号查询台）, there was a loud crash outside the phone box. A woman had dropped her shopping bags.

Viv dialed the number. When she had finished, the telephone box started shaking, and a loud noise filled their ears. The shopping centre disappeared, and everything went dark. Suddenly there was a big bump. The telephone box stopped shaking and everything was quiet. Tom and Viv looked out of the window. They couldn’t believe their eyes! They were in the middle of a large field. Tom pushed the door and stepped outside.

“This is amazing!” he said. “I think we’ve travelled through time.” Suddenly some men on horses appeared. They were wearing strange clothes. They saw the children and started riding towards them, shouting.

“Let’s get out of here!” Tom shouted. They ran back inside and closed the door behind them.

“Those men look like people from the past,” Tom said. “You dialed the number ‘1888’ for Directory Enquiries. If we dial ‘2018’, perhaps we’ll return home.”

Tom dialed the number. He was nervous, however, and dialed ‘3010’ by mistake. The telephone box started shaking again, and the field disappeared. There was another large bump. Looking outside, the children saw strange buildings and cars. A face suddenly appeared outside the window. The person had three eyes! Viv shouted with fear.

“I don’t want to be in the future. I want to go home,” said Viv. Tom quickly dialed ‘2018’. Soon they were back in the shopping centre. Outside, a woman was picking up some shopping bags that she had dropped. Tom recognized the woman. “We’re back! Let’s help that woman with her shopping bags,” he said.

“Thank you. You’re very kind,” the woman replied to Tom’s offer of help.

She turned to look at the children. Tom and Viv jumped in horror. The woman had three eyes…

They walked over to an old telephone box and went inside. Just as Viv was about to ring‘1888'，the number for Directory Enquiries， there was a loud crash outside the phone box.（“我们去公共图书馆找一本关于发明的书，”维夫建议道。“我们先给图书馆打电话，看看什么时候关门。”他们走到一个旧电话亭前，走了进去。就在维夫要打电话到1888的时候，这个电话号码是电话号查询台，电话亭外有一声巨响。）可知他们不知道图书馆的电话，故答案为：No．/No，they didn't．

【3】题意：他们是如何穿越时间到达过去的？考查细节理解。根据Just as Viv was about to ring‘1888'，the number for Directory Enquiries（电话号查询台），there was a loud crash outside the phone box．（就在维夫要打电话到1888的时候，这个电话号码是电话号查询台，电话亭外有一声巨响。）和下文Viv dialed the number. When she had finished, the telephone box started shaking, and a loud noise filled their ears.（维夫拨了号码。当她拨完电话后，电话亭开始摇晃，他们的耳朵里充满了巨大的噪音。）可知他们是通过拨打1888穿越的，故答案为：By dialing 1888。

【4】题意：哪一个号码可以让他们回家？考查细节理解。根据第5段最后一句If we dial ‘2018’, perhaps we’ll return home.”（如果我们拨“2018”，也许我们会回家。）可知答案是2018。

【5】题意：那个女人可能是哪里人？考查细节理解。根据第5段第2句He was nervous, however, and dialed ‘3010’ by mistake. The telephone box started shaking again, and the field disappeared. There was another large bump. Looking outside, the children saw strange buildings and cars. A face suddenly appeared outside the window. The person had three eyes! Viv shouted with fear.（但他很紧张，误拨了“3010”。电话亭又开始摇晃，田野消失了。又一个震动。看着外面，孩子们看到了奇怪的建筑物和汽车。一张脸突然出现在窗外。那个人有三只眼睛！维夫害怕地喊道。）和最后一段She turned to look at the children．Tom and Viv jumped in horror．The woman had three eyes…The person had three eyes! Viv shouted with fear（她转身看着孩子们。汤姆和维夫吓得跳了起来。那个女人有三只眼睛……那个人有三只眼睛！维夫害怕地喊道）可以推测出这个妇女来自未来．故答案为：The future．/The year 3010．。
