Question

【题目】Judge the following statements True or False. Isaac Newton, the great British scientist, is often so deep in his thoughts that he will forget to eat his dinner.
One day his friend came to have dinner with him. Dinner was put on the table but Newton didn't come out of his study（书房）. His friend sat down and waited for him. After waiting for quite a long time, he decided that Newton must be so deep in some new theory that he forgot all about the dinner. So he began to eat the chicken without Newton.
When he finished, he thought he would play a joke on his friend. He put all the chicken bones（骨头）back on the dish and covered them with the dish over. Then he left Newton's house. He was quite certain that his joke would work.
Several hours later, Newton came out of his study, feeling very hungry. He saw the table was ready for dinner and so he sat down. When he lifted the cover and saw the bones of the chicken, he was greatly surprised. He turned, looked at the clock, and saw that it was long past his usual time for dinner.
"Well, well," he said to himself, "I thought I ate nothing, but I am wrong." He got up from table and went back to his study and began to work again.

【解析】本文讲述的是牛顿废寝忘食的故事。牛顿请朋友吃饭，可是自己在书房工作入了迷，朋友只好自己吃。吃完后朋友开了一个玩笑：把吃过的鸡骨头盖在桌子上。牛顿忙完后出来看了鸡骨头和时间，以为自己吃过了，又回到了书房。
（1）细节理解题。句意：牛顿来自美国。由短文第一句：Isaac Newton, the great British scientist可知牛顿是英国科学家。故本句错误。
（2）细节理解题。句意：牛顿的朋友没有和他一起吃晚餐。由第二段最后一句：So he began to eat the chicken without Newton.可知，朋友独自吃的饭。故本句正确。
（3）细节理解题。句意：牛顿的朋友把所有的鸡骨头放回了盘子。由第三段第二句：He put all the chicken bones（骨头）back on the dish and covered them with the dish over.可知他把所有骨头放回了盘子并盖上了。故本句正确。
（4）细节理解题。句意：几天过后，牛顿从书房出来。由第四段的第一句：Several hours later, Newton came out of his study可知，是几小时后不是几天后。故本句错误。
（5）推理判断题。句意：牛顿吃了那些鸡。根据短文内容，牛顿未吃鸡肉，但是忘了是否吃过了。故本句错误。
