【2】C

【3】C

【4】A

【5】D

【解析】

暴风雪过后，Smith先生的院子里全是雪，他想把车从车库开出来，因此雇佣了一个人帮他清雪。Smith先生不想让雪破坏灌木和围栏，也不希望雪倾倒在路上。最后“聪明的”男人把雪全放到了车库了。

【1】细节理解题。根据“... in the morning Mr. Smith's garden was full of snow.”可知暴风雪过后的早晨Smith发现花园里全是雪。故选A。

【2】细节理解题。根据“Mr. Smith wanted to take his car out, so he asked a man to clean the road from his garage to his gate…”可知Smith先生想要把车开出去，所以他让一个男人帮他清雪。故选C。

【3】推理判断题。根据“Don’t throw any snow on that side, because it will damage（破坏）the shrubs in my garden and don’t throw any on the other side, because it will break my fence: and don't throw any into the street or the police will not be pleased.”可知Smith先生想清理车库到门口的雪，却不想破坏路两边的围栏和灌木，又不想倾倒到街上，那么这个男人不知道倾倒到哪里，只能放到车库了。故选C。

【4】推理判断题。根据“Mr. Smith was pleased until he opened the garage to get his car out.”可知Smith先生在打开车库门之前是开心的，因此可推测看到花园里没有雪，路上也没有雪，他很开心。故选A。

【5】推理判断题。A选项意为“这个男人得到了钱”；B选项意为“Smith先生给了这个男人钱”；C选项意为“Smith先生将自己清理雪”；D选项意为“这个男人为了拿到钱不得不重新干活”。这个男人干的活确实是听Smith先生的话了，但是Smith先生清雪的目的是为了开车，他把车埋了，这个工作没有完成好，因此想要拿到钱，他肯定要重新把雪移出去的，才能拿到应有的报酬。故选D。

针对推理判断题，考生要透过表面信息来揣测作者的意图、态度或文章的出处，对文章细节的发展做出正确的推理和判断。具体解题技巧如下：

（1）在理解原文细节的基础上向外推一步，从而得出结果，但是必须“适度”。考生在推理时，需遵循“推理要适度”的原则。

（2）立足于原文的细节，答案必须能够在原文中找到依据，即推理要遵循“忠实于原文”的原则。

（3）根据选项的特点确定答案。

本文后三个小题均是推理判断题，首先第三题需要考生运用自己的想象力，Smith先生想将车库门口到大门口的雪清理干净，左右一面是围栏，一面是灌木，大门外是街上，那四个方向，清雪的男人只能倒在车库了；第四题是可以找到原文的，只是需要对进车库前后的心情进行判断；第五题就需要“适度”的推测，雇佣人干活，如果没有达到标准，是不会付钱的，所以一定要把活干好才能拿到钱。
