Question

11．Mr．Black was the manager of a hotel in Atlanta．One weekend all of the hotels were full because of a large business meeting being held in the city．On Sunday night，three men came into Mr．Black's hotel and asked for rooms．Mr．Black told them that there were no more rooms available．The men didn't know what to do because they had no place to stay in．
Mr．Black wanted to help them．He remembered that there was an empty room at the far end of the first floor-Room 112．It was a very small room，and had rarely been used as a guest room before．So，he asked the three men if they would mind sharing that small room．They replied that they would be very satisfied so long as there was a room for them to stay in for the night．
Mr．Black then told them that the room would cost them 30dollars in total．On hearing this，each of the three men gave Mr．Black 10dollars before they left for their room．
However，Mr．Black soon began to think that 30dollars was really too much for that small room．He called his assistant over and said，"Here is 5dollars．Give it back to the three men in Room 112．Each of them paid me 10dollars．That's too much．"
The assistant took the money．While he was on the way to that small room，he thought，"How can three men divide 5dollars？I'll give each of them only 1 and keep the 2 left to myself．The men will be happy to get anything back，and I can also make some money that way．After all，Mr．Black will never know anything about it．"So，the assistant returned only 1 to each of the three men．
Each man had first paid 10dollars．After the assistant returned 1 to him，each man had actually paid only 9．There were three men.9×3=27．The assistant kept 27+2=29．Where is the missing dollar？

25．Why didn't Mr．Black offer Room 112 to the three men at first？B
A．The key had been lost．
B．It was too small for three men．
C．No one had stayed there before．
D．It was not bright enough．
26．How much did Mr．Black first ask each man for the room？C
A.30．
B.15．
C.10．D.9．
27．How were the manager and his assistant in behavior？A
A．The manager was honest but the assistant was not．
B．The manager worked hard，but the assistant was lazy．
C．The assistant was clever but the manager was not．
D．The manager did not know how to make money，but the assistant did．
28．Where is the missing dollar？D
A．The three men took it．
B．The manager hid it secretly．
C．The assistant kept it．
D．There is no missing dollar．

Answer 1

分析 本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了经理帮助三位客人住宿诚实的将多余的钱退还却被助手私自扣下了一部分的故事．

解答 25．B．推理判断题．根据文章第二段"It was a very small room，and had rarely been used as a guest room before"这是一个很小的房间，和很少被用作客房之前；可知布莱克先生不先给三个男人提供房间112是因为它太小了；故选B．
26．C．细节理解题．根据文章第三段"Mr．Black then told them that the room would cost them 30dollars in total"布莱克接着告诉他们，房间会花费他们30dollars总数；可知没人需付10美元；故选C．
27．A．推理判断题．通读全文，根据文章第四段第五段可知经理认为他们付的钱太多而还回去了，而助手 私自扣下来一笔钱，可知经理诚实而助手不是；故选A．
28．D．细节理解题．根据文章最后一段"After the assistant returned 1 to him，each man had actually paid only 9．There were three men.9×3=27．The assistant kept 27+2=29"可知这种算法是错误的；并没有钱丢失事实上；故选D．

点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力，做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确的选择．在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．
