Question

　　Mr Hill is a young man of twenty-two. He joined the police as soon as he graduated from a famous university. He likes his job and tries his best to be an able officer. Once his colleague (同事) Mr Scott was ill and he was told to take his place---to train several new policemen who had hardly touched guns by then. None of them was good at shooting. A week passed but few of them could hit the targets (靶子). Mr Scott was worried about it, so did Mr Hill.

　　One day, when he was passing a school, he found there were a lot of small circles on the wall, which had been drawn with chalk. In every circle there was a bullet (子弹) hole. He was surprised at such a good marksmanship (枪法). He was eager to see the crack shot (神枪手). He hoped the crack shot would teach the new policemen to shoot.

　　From then on Mr Hill walked by the school every day. One afternoon he saw a boy shooting at the wall, holding an air gun. He was even more surprised and came up to him.

　　 "How old are you, my little friend?" asked Mr Hill.

　　 "Eight," answered the boy.

　　 "Eight?" Mr Hill couldn't help calling out. "I couldn't believe that all this had been done by you unless I saw it with my own eyes! How do you shoot at the circles?"

　　 "That's easy, sir," the boy said with a smile. "I always shoot at the wall first!"

Answer 1

答案：C;A;A;C
解析：

(1) 推理判断题。由首段第四句及A week passed可知，Mr Hill是在Mr Scott请假以后接替他训练新警察的，这说明Mr Scott在请假之前训练过这些警察。 (2) 推理判断题。由第一段第二句可知，Mr Hill刚从大学毕业，无训练警察的经验，故深感焦虑。 (3) 细节理解题。由第二段最后两句可知，他以为遇到了一个神枪手，可以教新警察学射击。 (4) 细节理解题。由文章末句孩子所说的"I always shoot at the wall first"可知，他是先射击，后在枪眼周围画圈的。
