Question

【题目】 It was 18：15. Rob waited outside the cinema impatiently. His friend, Steve, was supposed to meet him in five minutes.

Both of them really liked movies and tried to see one almost every week, but lately Steve had been arriving later and later. If he didn't arrive soon, they wouldn't have time to get popcorn and drinks before the movie started. They might even miss the previews（预告）！Rob grumbled（发牢骚）while he waited.

He watched cars arriving at the parking lot, trying to find Steve's blue car. However, watching cars made him more irritated（恼怒的）.He was almost sure Steve would be late.

Rob checked his watch one more time. There was only one minute left…Then he heard a voice. "Rob, I made it!”

Rob turned around and saw his friend Steve. He looked at his watch again. Steve was on time.

"Well, let's go then,”Rob suggested. He reached for his wallet then, so he could buy a ticket. Where was his wallet? He looked around worriedly.

"What's wrong?" Steve asked.

"I don't have my wallet.”

"Go and check in your car.”

Rob ran across the parking lot. By the time he got his wallet from his car and bought a ticket, he'd already missed the previews and he didn't have time to get popcorn or a drink. Steve shared his popcorn, but Rob could hardly eat it.

When the movie was over, Rob said to Steve, "I'm sorry, Steve. I was grumbling about you being late, but then I was the one who was late.”

"Don' t worry. It happens to all of us.”

"I see now. Thanks for understanding.”

"That's what friends are for,”Steve said.

【4】A

【解析】

罗布和史蒂夫都非常喜欢看电影，并且几乎每周都尝试看电影，但是最近，史蒂夫经常迟到。罗布在门口等了他很久，结果史蒂夫来了要一起进去时罗布却发现自己钱包落在了车里，最后反而是罗布错过了预告片。

【1】考查推理判断。原文第一段“It was 18：15. Rob waited outside the cinema impatiently. His friend, Steve, was supposed to meet him in five minutes.”（现在是18：15。罗布不耐烦地在电影院外面等着。 他的朋友史蒂夫应该在五分钟后来见他。）可以推测出史蒂夫应该在18：20和罗布见面，故选D。

【2】考查细节理解。原文第一段“It was 18：15. Rob waited outside the cinema impatiently.”（现在是18：15。罗布不耐烦地在电影院外面等着）说明这是第一次看表；原文“Rob checked his watch one more time.”（罗布又看了一次表）说明这是第二次看表；原文“He looked at his watch again.”（他再次看了看表）说明这是第三次看表，总共看了三次，故选C。

【3】考查细节理解。原文“Rob ran across the parking lot. By the time he got his wallet from his car and bought a ticket, he'd already missed the previews and he didn't have time to get popcorn or a drink.”（罗布跑过停车场。等到他从汽车上拿出钱包并且买票时，他已经错过了预告片，也没有时间去买爆米花或饮料。）说明罗布跑到停车场去找钱包，故选C。

【4】考查细节理解。原文“I'm sorry, Steve. I was grumbling about you being late, but then I was the one who was late.”（对不起，史蒂夫。我抱怨你迟到了，但后来我才迟到了。）说明罗布是为他迟到了而感到抱歉，故选A。
