Question

【题目】One day Kavya and I were playing tennis and the ball went into a man’s house. Then we went to his house and asked if he could give us our ball. He said, “No”. We felt helpless. But suddenly we came up with an idea. There was a water tank (水箱) behind the man’s house. I told Kavya, “We can climb onto the water tank and jump over the gate.” Kavya agreed, but we were both wearing skirts. We couldn’t climb in those. “We can get it back tomorrow，” said Kavya.

The next day we went there with Kavya’s brother Vijay. He said, “Shout loudly if you need me.” Kavya climbed onto the water tank first and then she climbed down into the man’s house. I followed her. We were looking under a bed for the ball when we heard a noise. It was Vijay. “Mother is calling you，” he said in a low voice.

We hurried out taking the lost ball with us. Along with the ball was a surprise! But we had to leave the house quickly. When we reached Kavya’s house, the TV was on. It was news time. I couldn’t believe my ears when it said that 20 gold bars were stolen from a gold shop. They showed a picture of the gold bars, which were exactly like the one we had seen in the man’s house.

We told the story to Kavya’s mother right away, and she called the police. Soon the police caught the man. They found all the gold bars in his house. A few days later a policeman came to us and said, “Thank you for helping us catch the guy. Here is a bag for all of you.” When we opened it, it was full of storybooks and lovely toys. Standing beside us, Kavya’s mother was all smiles.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】A

【2】C

【3】D

【4】B

【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文，Kavya和作者无意中把网球打进了别人的家里，对方拒绝让我们进去找球。我们偷偷从水箱上爬进了他的家里，发现他家里有金店失窃的黄金，报警以后对方被警察抓捕。正应了那句老话：要想人不知除非己莫为。

【1】细节理解题。根据第一段3-7句He said, “No”. We felt helpless. But suddenly we came up with an idea. There was a water tank (水箱) behind the man’s house. I told Kavya, “We can climb onto the water tank and jump over the gate.”可知在被对方拒绝以后，他们决定从对方房子后面的水箱爬进去把球拿回来。故A项正确。

【2】细节理解题。根据文章第三段第二句Along with the ball was a surprise!和最后一句 They showed a picture of the gold bars, which were exactly like the one we had seen in the man’s house.

可知他们在对方的院子里发现的惊喜就是一块与电视上报道的失窃的金块一样的金块。故C项正确。

【3】推理判断题。根据文章最后一句Standing beside us, Kavya’s mother was all smiles.可知当警察把奖品颁发给我们的时候Kavya的mother面带笑容，这说明她非常开心孩子可以得到这样的荣誉，她应该感觉很自豪。故D项正确。

【4】推理判断题。本文是一篇记叙文，Kavya和作者无意中把网球打进了别人的家里，对方拒绝让我们进去找球。我们偷偷从水箱上爬进了他的家里，发现他家里有金店失窃的黄金，报警以后对方被警察抓捕。正应了那句老话：要想人不知除非己莫为。故B项正确。
