　　It was almost two. A cold wind had come up over the lake. As a black cloud moved across the sun, Walt, a small boy, looked up. “I smell a storm(暴风雨),” he thought.

　　Shortly, a man of forty, had gone into town. He had said he would be back before two. He had told Walt to watch the boats and the shop. There were no people around. They had all gone out on the lake to fish.

　　So Walt went to work on one of the boats. From there he could hear the telephone if it rang. And he could watch the door.

　　It was after two when the stranger came. Walt saw him stop by the shop. The stranger looked in for a minute. Then he went down to the boats. He was a big man in a coat.

　　Walt called to him, “Do you want something, sir?”

　　The stranger looked at Walt and said, “No, thanks.” Then the stranger moved slowly away. As he went on, he looked at the boats one by one.

　　Walt sat there with his eyes on the back of the stranger's coat. He thought, “I can smell something as I smell that storm. I hope Shortly comes back soon.”

Answer 1

答案：B;D;C;D;C
解析：

1．依据短文第一段前三句中的two, the lake和the sun确定． 　　2．由二段中He had told Walt to watch the boats and the shop.推断出Walt留下来的原因． 　　3．从Walt看见陌生人到Walt对他的观察以及向陌生人提出问题等，可以断定Walt was careful. 　　4．从Walt和stranger的谈话可知选A是不对的；再由短文最后一句话可判断出选项B也是错的；由短文第三段看出C选项也不正确． 　　5．从I can smell something as I smell that storm. I hope Shortly comes back soon.可推断其隐含意义，即：这儿要出麻烦了．
