12.I met the old man at a cafe."Did you hear the radio news yesterday?"he asked me."No,"I replied."Anything exciting?""Exciting?NO!Something very sad.A group of hungry dogs killed and ate my best friend!""Oh,dear!"I cried."How did it happen?""He was working on the hillside when the dogs attacked him.When he didn't return,I went to the hillside and found…""His body?"I asked.The old fellow drank half of his coffee."No.I told you they were hungry dogs,didn't I?The big bones were lying every where.But they found this,"He pushed open a match box he was holding in his hand.In it was a man's thumb,lying on some white bloody material.
"This is my friend's right thumb.The dogs ate the rest of him".The old man began to cry.He finished his coffee quickly and left the cafe.I drank mine and called the waiter."I'll pay the gentleman's bill.His poor friend--how terrible!""You've heard the news?"The waiter laughed."Sure.There's a hole in the bottom of the match box.He puts his own thumb through the hole.The blood is red ink,I believe.Is the story worth a cup of coffee,sir?""But he held the box in his right hand.""Yes,but listeners look into the box.They just can't take their sight off that terrible thing.""And when he tells the story,he gets free cups of coffee!"I said,laughing."Yes,sir,but only from strangers who come to this town,and,of course,he does us no harm!"

分析 我在一家咖啡馆遇到那个老人,"你昨天听收音机了吗?"他问我,"没有,有什么激动人心的事情发生吗?"我回答说,"激动人心?没有!是非常糟糕的事情!一群饥饿的恶狗吃了我最好的朋友"
"哦,亲爱的!怎么会发生这样的事情?"我哭了."当狗攻击他时,他在山坡上工作,我见他没有回来,便去山坡找他,结果发现…",我问道"他的身体?"老人喝了一半他的咖啡,"不是,我不是告诉你它们是饥饿的狗吗?大骨头到处都是.但他们找到了这个,"他推开一个火柴盒并将它拿在手上,里边装的是一个人的拇指,看上去血粼粼的"
"这是我朋友的右拇指,狗吃了他的其余部分."老人开始哭泣,他很快完的喝完咖啡,离开了咖啡馆.我喝完酒叫服务员."我会支付刚才那位绅士的帐单,他那个可怜的朋友-太可怕了!"."你听到这个消息了?"服务员笑着说."在火柴盒子底部有一个洞.他把自己的拇指穿过洞.血是红色的墨汁,我相信这个故事值一杯咖啡的钱,是吧先生?,""但他把盒子放在他的右手.""是的,但你看着盒子时,不会把视线从那个可怕的盒子上移开"."当他讲这个故事的时候,他得到了免费的咖啡!"我笑着说,"是的,先生,但只有来自这个城镇的陌生人才会上当,当然,他对我们没有伤害!".
解答 28.A.细节理解题.根据文末Yes,sir,but only from strangers who come to this town,and,of course,he does us no harm!"可知,这个老年人只给第一次来这个地方的人讲这个故事,因此可知这个作者是第一次来这个地方,因此答案为 the writer came to the cafe for the first time.根据文章的内容,老人讲了一个可怕的故事,并且作者相信了这个故事,最终的结果就是老人喝到了免费的咖啡,因此B、C、D错误;
29.D.细节理解题.题目问的是服务员为什么没有提早说出这个老人所讲故事的真相,从文中可以看出,服务员在不说的情况下,仍然有人愿意为老人的咖啡买单,这对服务员来说是什么坏处的,相反还会卖掉自己的咖啡因此答案为the old man helped the cafe in some way,老人能够通过某种方法帮助服务员卖咖啡;
30.C.细节理解题.根据"Yes,sir,but only from strangers who come to this town,and,of course,he does us no harm!"可知,只有来自这个城镇的陌生人才会上当,当然,他对我们没有伤害!,说明老人只对新来这个地方的人讲这个故事,且听故事的人愿意为其付咖啡钱,因此对当地的来说没有弊端,还有好处,因此当地的人也不会阻止,因此More strangers would hear the old man's story.会有更多的人听到老人的故事.
点评 这是一篇记叙文,只在说明作者的亲身经历.做题时要在理解好文意的基础上,与题目有机的结合,从文章中找到相关细节性的句子与选项细细比对,进行选择或推理判断,选出符合文章内容的正确选项.做题注意灵活,有时可采用排除法或直选法确定出最终答案.
