8.There was one thing that I found rather strange on my first day as housekeeper at Monk'S House.The floors in the house were very thin.The bathroom was right above the kitchen,and when Mrs.Woolf was having her bath before breakfast,I could hear her talking to herself.on and on she went,talk,talk,and talk,asking questions and giving herself the answers.I thought there must be two or three people there with her.When Mr.Woolf saw that I looked surprised,he told me that Mrs.Woolf always said out loud the sentences that she had written during the night.She needed to know if they sounded fight and the bath was a good place for trying them out.I was not allowed to make coffee at Monk'S House-Mr.and Mrs.Woolf were very particular
(特别的)about coffee and always made it themselves-so Mr.Woolf came into the kitchen at eight o'clock every morning to make it.When we carried the breakfast to Mrs.Woolf's room,I noticed that she had always been working during the night.There were pencil and paper beside her bed so that when she woke up,she could work,and sometimes it seemed as though she had had very little sleep.
Mrs.Woolf's bedroom was outside the house in the garden.I used to think how inconvenient(不方便的)it must be to have to go out in the rain to go to bed.Her bedroom had been connected to the back of the house:the door faced the garden and a window at the side opened out on to a field.Because the writing-room was small,Mr.Woolf had built a large one for her at the end of the garden against the church wall.
I can always remember her coming to the house each day from the writing-room when I rang the bell for lunch at One O'clock.She used to come in,smoking one of her favourite cigarettes,which were bought by Mr.Woolf for her in London.She was tall and thin and very pretty.She had large eyes and a wide mouth.She wore long skirts-usually blue or brown-in the fashion of the day,and silk jackets of the same colour Mrs.Woolf wore clothes that suited for her well.I ironed them for her and did any sewing that was necessary-She was not able to sew,although sometimes she liked to try.There was one thing in the kitchen that Mrs.Woolf was very good at doing:she could make beautiful bread.

分析 第一次去蒙克之屋时,我就发现一件很奇怪的事.屋里的地板很薄.因为洗手间就在厨房的正上方,所以当伍尔夫夫人在早餐前洗澡时,我能听到她在和自己讲话.她不断地说着,提问着,然后自己回答.我以为上面一定有两三个人和她在一起.之后伍尔夫先生介绍说夫人总是大声地把昨晚写的东西说出来.她要看看她写的东西听起来是否合适,而浴缸正是适合做这件事的地方.
伍尔夫夫妇不允许我在蒙克之家里煮咖啡,每天早晨八点他们会来厨房自己煮咖啡.我们把早餐盘端到伍尔夫夫人房间时,我注意到她床边放着钢笔和纸,她醒来时就可以用.有时她似乎睡得时间很少.伍尔夫夫人的卧室在屋外的花园里.我曾想,下雨天去睡觉的话,要到外面去该有多不方便啊.她的卧室是加在屋子后面的,卧室门朝着花园,窗外是一片田地.因为写作的房间很小,伍尔夫先生在花园尽头对着教堂的围墙的地方为她建了间大的.
我一直记得,每天她只有吃午饭时才从她的写作房间里出来.她常常穿过花园,抽一根她最爱的香烟.她高高瘦瘦的,很优雅,深陷的眼睛很大.她穿着当时流行的长裙和同色的丝质夹克.伍尔夫夫人穿的衣服适合她.她不会熨烫缝,我帮她,虽然有时她喜欢尝试.在厨房里,伍尔夫太太做的非常好,有一件事:她能做漂亮的面包.
解答 37.D.细节理解题.根据短文第一段The floors in the house were very thin.The bathroom was right above the kitchen可知,关于Monk的房子不寻常的是浴室在厨房的上面.故选D.
38.C.细节理解题.根据She wore long skirts-usually blue or brown-in the fashion of the day,and silk jackets of the same colour Mrs.Woolf wore clothes that suited for her well.可知,Woolf夫人穿相匹配颜色的衣服,故应该选C.
39.D.判断推理题.根据Because the writing-room was small,Mr.Woolf had built a large one for her at the end of the garden against the church wall.和which were bought by Mr.Woolf for her in London.等可知,Woolf先生好像为她做他所能做的事情,故选D.
40.D.推理判断题.根据第二段There were pencil and paper beside her bed so that when she woke up,she could work,and sometimes it seemed as though she had had very little sleep.可知Woolf夫人擅长写作,最后一段Mrs.Woolf was very good at doing:she could make beautiful bread.可知她还擅长做漂亮额面包,故可知会做两件事情,故答案是D.
点评 在做英语阅读时,首先通读全文,不要被某个或某些自己不熟悉的单词所困扰,了解大概意思.然后看问题,带着问题精读全文,同时选择答案,必要时用排除法,注意,文章中一般都会有答案,有的可以直接找到,英美人并不愿意把问题弄得太深奥,不必想得太复杂,很多都是直接了当的,千万别自己发挥想象.但不得不说,平时多积累词汇量的话,答题可能就会主动一些,有把握一些.
