Question

【题目】 Mr. Dawson was an old grouch（不高兴的人）, Kids knew not to go into his yard to pick a delicious apple, even off the ground, because old Dawson, they said, would come after you with his ball bullet gun.

One Friday, 12-year-old Janet was going to stay all night with her friend Amy. They had to walk by Dawson’s house , but as they got close ,Janet saw him sitting on his front porch(门廊) and suggested they cross over to the other side of the street.

Amy said not to worry, Mr. Dawson wouldn’t hurt anyone. When they got close enough, Dawson looked up with his usual frown, but when he saw it was Amy, a smile changed his face as he said, “Hello Miss Amy. I see you’ve got a little friend with you today.”

Amy smiled back and told him Janet was staying overnight. Dawson told them that sounded fun, and offered them each a fresh picked apple off his tree. They gladly accepted. Dawson had the best apples in town.

When they got out of Dawson’s, Janet asked Amy, “Everyone says he’s the meanest(刻薄的) man in town. How come was he so nice to us?”

Amy explained that when she first started walking past his house he wasn’t very friendly and she was afraid of him, but she pretended he was wearing an invisible（无形的） smile and so she always smiled back at him. It took a while, but one day he half-smiled back at her.

After some more time, he started smiling real smiles and then started talking to her. Just a "hello" at first, then more. She said he always offers her an apple now, and is always very kind.

"An invisible smile?" questioned Janet.

"Yes," answered Amy, "my grandma told me that if I pretended I wasn’t afraid and pretended he was smiling an invisible smile at me and I smiled back at him, that sooner or later he would really smile. "

【1】细节理解题。根据第9大段“my grandma told me that if I pretended I wasn’t afraid and pretended he was smiling an invisible smile at me and I smiled back at him, that sooner or later he would really smile.”我的奶奶告诉我，如果我假装我不害怕，假装他对我微笑看不见的微笑，我微笑回他，他迟早会真正的微笑。可知，对别人微笑，别人也会回报微笑。故选B。

【2】词义猜测题。根据第3大段“Amy said not to worry, Mr. Dawson wouldn’t hurt anyone. When they got close enough, Dawson looked up with his usual frown,” Amy告诉我不要担心，道森先生不会伤害任何人。当我们走进的时候，道森先生像往常一样皱眉抬头。可知，这个词是为了显示道森先生的严肃，生气的表情。故选A。

【3】推理判断题。根据第1大段“because old Dawson, they said, would come after you with his ball bullet gun.”他们说，道森先生总会拿他的枪追着你。可知，是他们说的，而不是事实上，故A错误；根据第6大段“Amy explained that when she first started walking past his house he wasn’t very friendly and she was afraid of him,”艾米解释说，当她第一次经过他的房子时，他不是很友好，她很怕他。可知，道森先生并不认识艾米的奶奶。故B错误；根据第7大段“She said he always offers her an apple now, and is always very kind.”她说他现在总是给她一个苹果，而且总是很友好。可知，道森先生实际上是个友好的人，故C正确；根据第6大段“Amy explained that when she first started walking past his house he wasn’t very friendly and she was afraid of him,”艾米解释说，当她第一次经过他的房子时，他不是很友好，她很怕他。可知，道森先生并不是喜欢女孩子和他笑。故D错误。故选C。
