Question

【题目】On August 16, 1977, Elvis Presley saved me.

The previous afternoon, I played with my six-year-old peers in Heather Peters’ backyard. I was enjoying my cake, when Heather asked me where my sleeping bag was. Only then did I know this party was a sleepover. The word “sleep-over” to a six-year-old bed-wetter is like what “cancer” means to an adult. But what if I told them I was a bed-wetter? At least with cancer, people gather at your bedside instead of running from it.

I thought of a way to escape. I would explain that I needed my mother's permission to spend the nights. But as I called my Mom, Heather stood beside me to listen. She granted permission! Then I would be sleeping in the same living room as the other girls. I didn't bring my own pajamas (睡衣)，so Mrs. Peters offered me Heather's pajamas.

As the other girls drifted into their sweet dreams, I tried to stay awake. “Do I need to go again? I'll stay up to go one more time...”.Of course, I finally fell asleep.

The next morning, I was the first to wake up. I was warm! I lay in panic for what seemed like hours before the other girls started to wake up. I did the only thing I could do — I pretended that the bed-wetting didn't happen. I got up, took off Heather's pajamas and changed into my clothes like the other girls.

Mrs. Peters walked into the room, and before she could say anything, she stepped right onto the pile of my wet pajamas. My heart stopped as I watched her face burn red. “WHO DID THIS?” She screamed, with a look so frightening. Should I answer? And that was when it happened — Mr. Peters came in and grabbed his wife , ‘‘Elvis Presley died!”

The news of the King's death overtook Mrs. Peters, and I, was spared. I got home without the other girls knowing what had happened.

试题分析:本文讲述作者在参加一个“在朋友家过夜”的晚会时，晚上睡觉第二天发现尿床了，差点被彼得斯夫人及其他小朋友发现，因为她被猫王去世的消息吸引住了。

【1】 细节理解题。从文章第二段，Only then did I know this party was a sleepover.只有那时我猜知道这是个在朋友家过夜的晚会。因此可知作者必须在朋友家过夜了。故选C。

【2】细节分析题。从本文倒数第二段，she stepped right onto the pile of my wet pajamas. 她走到那堆我湿湿的睡衣那里。My heart stopped as I watched her face burn red.当我看到她的脸变得烧红，我的心跳都停止了。故选D。

【3】细节推断题。从文中倒数第二段和最后一段：Mr. Peters came in and grabbed his wife , ‘‘Elvis Presley died!” 彼得斯先生走了进来,抓住了他的妻子,说“猫王死了!”以及The news of the King's death overtook Mrs. Peters, 猫王去世的消息彼得斯夫人,由此可推测，彼得斯夫人是猫王的粉丝，一听说猫王去世的消息，立马就忘了湿睡衣的事情。故选B。

【4】主旨理解题。结合全文来看，作者对于在朋友家过夜的晚会有点恐惧，因为她是一个尿床的人，不得已留下过夜，她试图一直保持清醒，可是一觉醒来发现睡衣湿了，还是尿床了，她很害怕被彼得斯夫人和其他女孩子知道这个尴尬的事，最后虽然没有人知道是她尿床，但是这仍是一个令人尴尬的事情。可知选B。
