James got up at five to seven. His parents and his little twin(双胞胎) sisters went travelling to France, and he had to look after himself at home. He opened the fridge, but he found only two hamburgers in it. He decided（决定）to have breakfast in the restaurant on the other side of the street. He sat at a table and the waiter came up and said, “Can I take your order, James?”

Bread $1.30	Sandwich $1.80

【解析】

本文主要讲述了James自己在家，出去吃早餐的故事，短文列举了菜单中一些食品的价格。

【1】细节理解题。根据文中His parents and his little twin(双胞胎) sisters went travelling to France, and he had to look after himself at home.他的父母和他的双胞胎妹妹去法国旅行，他不得不在家照顾自己。可知他家一共是五个人，故选C。

【2】细节理解题。根据文中He opened the fridge, but he found only two hamburgers in it. He decided（决定）to have breakfast in the restaurant on the other side of the street.他打开冰箱，但发现里面只有两个汉堡包。他决定在街对面的餐馆吃早餐。可知因为家里没有什么吃的，故选B。

【3】细节理解题。根据文中He sat at a table and the waiter came up and said, “Can I take your order, James?” “But you don’t show your menu to me, Mr Hunt,” said the boy.“Oh, sorry! I forget it. Here it is.” James looked at the menu carefully. James与服务员的对话可知，并不是服务员一看到James就给他拿菜单，而是忘记给他了，故选D。

【4】细节理解题。根据菜单的显示Hamburger $2.40和Pizza $2.40可知，这两样是最贵的，故选D。

【5】细节理解题。根据文中James brought out his wallet and found there was only 6.50 dollars in it.及“I’ll buy a picture book this afternoon. It’s 1.50 dollars.”可知，James一共有6.5美元，他还要计划买一本图画书要1.5美元，所以早餐最多只有5美元，故选A。

细节理解题属直接解答性问题，是阅读理解题中最简单的一种，多数属中低难度的送分题。但由于考试所占的比例很大，应特别引起注意。比如第五小题James hoped to pay at most _______ dollars for his breakfast. 根据文中James brought out his wallet and found there was only 6.50 dollars in it.及“I’ll buy a picture book this afternoon. It’s 1.50 dollars.”就可以得出答案。
