Question

【题目】根据短文理解，选择正确答案。
John is five years old now. He is a good boy. He is very clever and can read very well. But he can't tell the right time by clock. He doesn't say eight o'clock in the morning, twelve o'clock or four o'clock in the afternoon. He always says "breakfast time" for eight o'clock, "lunch time" for twelve o'clock and "tea-time" for four o'clock in the afternoon. His mother wants to teach him to know the time by clock.
"Can you count, John?" his mother asks him. "Yes. Let me count for you. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, and twelve..." "That's good, John. Now let me tell you to say the time. Now, look! I put the long hand on twelve and the short hand on one. That is one o'clock. If I put the short on two, that's two o'clock. Do you know?"
"Yes, I do." John tells his mother. "Good. If I put the short hand on four, what's that?" his mother asks and really puts the short one on four. "Tea-time, Mum. And I am hungry."

【解析】本文主要讲述了约翰不会看钟表上的时间，他妈妈教他如何说出时间。当他妈妈把长针放在数字十二，把短针放在数字四的位置时，询问约翰是几点钟，他回答是下午茶时间。

（1）B 细节理解题。根据第一段的He is a good boy.可知约翰是一个好男孩，故选B。

（2）A 细节理解题。根据第一段的But he can't tell the right time by clock.可知约翰无法正确的说出钟表上的时间，故选A。

（3）D 推理判断题。根据最后一段的 "Yes, I do." John tells his mother.可知最后约翰能说出钟表上的时间，故选D。

（4）C推理判断题。根据最后一段的"Tea-time, Mum. And I am hungry."可知约翰在妈妈的教导下，仍然把四点钟说成是下午茶时间，故推断很难让他说出正确的时间，故选C。
