It was Mary's birthday. She received a letter from her uncle. “Dear Mary,” he wrote in the letter, “Happy birthday. I'm sending you some chickens. They will arrive tomorrow. I hope you'll like them. Uncle Toby.”
Mary was very pleased. She liked eating eggs and chicken. “I can keep the chickens for their eggs or eat them,” she thought.
When the chickens arrived the next day, they were put in a box. Mary was very happy. She took the box off the truck and began to carry it into her garden, but the box of chickens was so heavy that she dropped it.
The box fell on the ground and broke. The chickens all ran out. They ran here and there. Mary spent hours in trying to find them.
A few hours later her uncle came. He asked, “Did the chickens arrive safely?” “Yes, but I dropped the box. It broke open and the chickens ran everywhere. It took me the whole morning to look for them,” Mary said.
“Did you find them all?” asked her uncle. “I hope so,” Mary answered. “but I only caught eleven of them.”
“That's very interesting. I only sent you six,” Her uncle said with a smile.

Mary was very please D.可知玛丽收到叔叔的礼物是非常“高兴的”,故本题正确答案为A。 (3) 由第三段最后一句...but the box of chickens was so heavy that she dropped it. 可知玛丽把盒子弄掉了是因为盒子太重了。故本题正确答案为B。 (4) 由第五段最后一句It took me the whole morning to look for them. 可知玛丽用了“整整一个早上”去找小鸡。故本题正确答案为D。 (5) 由文章倒数第二段最后一句 ...but I only caught eleven of them. 可知玛丽抓住了11只鸡,而最后一段玛丽的叔叔说I only sent you six.可知叔叔给玛丽寄了六只,由此可知玛丽并不知道叔叔给她寄了多少只。故应选D。 |
