Question

【题目】阅读理解
Mr. King was the manager of a hotel. One weekend all the hotels in the city were full because there was a large meeting. On Friday night, three men came into the hotel and asked for rooms. Mr. King said there were no rooms ready because of the meeting. The men were unhappy.
Mr. King wanted to help them. He remembered that Room 418, a very small room, was empty. He asked them if they would share a room. The three men said they would. Mr. King said the room would be thirty dollars: ten for each one. Each man gave him the money and then went up to the room.
Mr. King soon began to feel sorry. "Thirty dollars is a lot to ask as price for that small room. " he thought. He called his assistant over and said, "Here is five dollars. Take it to the men in Room 418. I asked too much for their room."
The assistant took the money. While he was on the way there, he started to think, "How can three men divide five dollars? I'll give them each only one dollar and keep the two dollars for myself. The men will be happy to get something back, and Mr. King will never know. " So the assistant returned one dollar to each man.
Each man had at first paid ten dollars. After the assistant returned them one dollar each, each had paid nine. There were three men, $ 9 ×3 = $ 27. The assistant kept $ 2. $ 27 + $ 2 = $ 29

【解析】文章大意：这是一篇趣味故事类阅读，有点像我们见过的脑筋急转弯。三个人住一个房间，一人付10美元，Mr. King 因为房间小退还三人5美元，店员认为5美元三个人不好分，只退还他们每人1美元，还有2美元被自己扣留了。最后提出三人共付27美元，加上被扣留的2美元，共计29美元，问那1美元到哪里去了？
（1）细节理解题。根据第一段句子“On Friday night，three men came into the hotel and asked for rooms. Mr. King said there were no rooms ready because of the meeting. The men were unhappy.”(星期五晚上，三个人走进旅馆，询问房间，金先生说因为会议没有准备好房间，男人们很不开心。)可知因为他们没有地方住。故答案选D。
（2）细节理解题。根据第二段句子“Mr. King wanted to help them. He remembered that Room 418，a small room, was empty. He asked them if they could share a room. The three men said they would.”(金先生想要帮助他们，他记得418房间，房间很小，是空的。他问他们是否愿意分享一个房间，三个人说他们愿意。)可知说明最后这三个人一起住在一个小房间里，故选C。
（3）细节理解题。根据第二段句子Mr. King said the room would be thirty dollars； ten dollars for each person．Each man gave him the money and then went up to the room. (金先生说这个房间三十美元，每人10美元，每个人都给了他钱，然后走进房间。)可知说明每个人付了10美元，故选D．
（4）细节理解题。根据倒数第二段句子“I'll give them each only one dollar and keep the two dollars for myself. The men will be happy to get something back. And Mr. King will never know. So the assistant returned one dollar to each man.”(我将给他们每人一美元，并把这两美元留给自己男人会很高兴得到回报，Mr. King永远不会知道，于是助手把一美元还给了每个人)，可知这个人自己扣留了2美元，故答案选B。
（5）细节推理题。根据这篇文章内容可知实际上Mr. King得了25美元，那三个人每个人付了9美元，一共是27美元，the assistant扣了2美元，根本没有所谓的多余的一美元，故选A。
