题目内容

I woke up late and had breakfast in a hurry. I had never been late and didn’t want my boss to be unsatisfied. However, it seemed that day wasn’t a lucky one for me from the very second I left my flat. The moment I wanted to rush downstairs one of my stiletto heels (细高跟) broke. I had to return to change my red shoes. I also had to change my purse and other little things that I had tried to match with the shoes. I was sure I would be late for work.

On my way to work I had to wait for over half an hour because of an accident. I had no choice but to wait. I phoned my boss and he told me that it was no problem, but he needed me for the meeting with the Japanese clients (客户) that morning.

Finally, I arrived at the office one hour later. I had to keep calm and be fresh for the meeting to make the clients sure that our plan was the best for their future commercial (商业的) project. However, I left the plan I had made the night before at home and was going to present (介绍) it to the clients. I was about to get angry when I realized that I had a draft (草稿) of it in my office.

At last, the presentation came to an end and it turned out to be a success. But I have to say that I had a terrible day, full of incidents.

【解析】

试题分析:作者叙述了自己糟糕的一天的经历,先是高跟鞋断了,然后换鞋子,路上遇见事故,做陈述的时候发现稿子忘记在家里。

1. On my way to work I had to wait for over half an hour because of an accident.可知路上有了一个事故,但是并不是我出了事故。根据下文描述可知我仍然可以正常上班,说明我并没有出了事故。故D项说法并不是迟到的原因。

2.I had never been late and didn’t want my boss to be unsatisfied.可知我从不迟到。故B正确。

3.C 推理题。根据文章最后一段第一句At last, the presentation came to an end and it turned out to be a success.可知我的陈述很成功,也就是说客户认为我的陈述很好,所以我才能成功。故C正确。

4.B 细节题。根据文章内容可知她先是高跟鞋段了,然后换鞋子然后找相配的衣服和包;她再打电话给老板,后来到了办公室做陈述。故C正确。
