Question

Ben and his wife Susan were on their way to have dinner with their friends. It was a dark，windy night, and they did not know the way very well. They drove through a town until they found what they thought was the road to Dorling，where their friends lived. But it soon became clear that they were not on the road to Dorling at all. The road that they were on was getting narrower，and there were no other cars on it. The wind was blowing harder with every minute that passed.
They came to a small village .They drove past a church and then two houses without lights on. There was nobody about to tell them where they were，or where the road went. Just then，Ben saw a telephone box，twenty meters or so further on. While he walked back along the road to see if there was a name outside the church，Susan telephoned their friends and told them that they were still on their way.
Their friends were just saying that the dinner was already getting rather cold，when Ben came back to the telephone box，his head down against the wind. He said that there was a tree lying across the road，and that the telephone lines were down. Susan heard nothing more from their friends about the dinner.

解析试题分析：本和他的妻子苏珊一起去朋友家里吃晚饭。但是不太认识路，而且路上很黑又刮着大风，更加麻烦的是没有碰到认识路的人，公用电话的线又断了，结果可想而知：他们迷路了。
【小题1】细节理解题。由“The road that they were on was getting narrower，and there were no other cars on it.”可知道路变得越来越窄而且也没有其他车辆在路上。故选B。
【小题2】推理判断题。由“While he walked back along the road to see if there was a name outside the church，Susan telephoned their friends and told them that they were still on their way.”可知本是想看看有没有名字可以告诉朋友他们现在在什么地方。故选C。
【小题3】细节理解题。由“He said that there was a tree lying across the road，and that the telephone lines were down. ”可知倒掉的一棵树压坏了电话线。选A最佳。
【小题4】推理判断题。由“It was a dark，windy night, and they did not know the way very well. ”可知他们不太认识路，因为他们很少去都灵。故选D。
