Question

   It was the first day of the holidays,and Peter was on his bed,lazy,without knowing what to do. He woke up reluctantly,because it was the fifth time his mom had called him.

   Peter had breakfast and then sat down in the living room to play his games on the computer. “Peter!You are not going to stay the whole day here playing with your video games!Go out to play with your friends! ” said his mother. Peter went to the park looking for his friends,but did not find anybody.

   “ Ugh!What a bore!” Peter sat on a bench beside Mr Jordan's Kiosk,where he used to buy his candies. The old man,who realized that Peter was really bored,said ,“ Do you know what,Peter? I would like to have an assistant during holidays. Would you like to come every day to help me a while? I am old,needing a rest. ”

   Peter's eyes sparkled,and said to Mr Jordan,uDo you really want me to help you in the kiosk (售货亭) ？It would be amazing to stay here,with all the amount of candies here. “Well,you will be able to choose a different one every night. ” Mr Jordan said.

   Peter had so much fun that day,and all the days during holidays. His mom did not have to insist on waking up Peter again.

  本文讲述了主人公彼得在假期感到很无聊，于是乔丹先 生让彼得在他的糖果亭当助手，并承诺每晚彼得可以得到一 块不同的糖作为报酬。就这样,彼得度过了一个不同而有趣 的假期。

1. A词义猜测题。画线单词后面提到了“这已经是他的妈妈第五次叫他起床”，由此可猜测rehictamly的意思为 “勉强地”，故选A项，其他三项均不符合此处语境。

2. B细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Peter had breakfast and then sat down in the living room to play his games on the computer. ”可知，Peter早饭后就去卧室玩电脑游 戏。因此选B.

3. D细节理解题。由第三段中“Peter sat on a bench beside Mr Jordan's Kiosk,where he used to buy his candies.”可知，本句后半句为where引导的地点状语从句，意为 “Peter过去在乔丹先生的亭里买过糖”。又根据“The old man”可知，Mr Jordan是一位在亭里卖糖果的老人。 故选D.

4. C细节理解题。由第四段中乔丹先生说的话“...you will be able to choose a different one every night. ” 可知，Peter 在帮助他后，每晚可以得到一块不同的糖。故选C.

5. C主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了 Petei.在假期通过当乔丹先生的助手而摆脱了假期的无聊，度 过了一个愉快的假期的故事。故“Peter's different but funny summer ”为最佳题目。
