As Frank went downstairs his eyes fell on a large brown envelope by the door. He was overjoyed when he opened it and read the letter inside. “Bigwoods Football Pools would like to congratulate you. You have won half a million pounds.”
Frank suddenly came to life. The cigarette fell from his lips as he let out a shout that could be heard halfway down the street.
At 11:30 Frank arrived at work.“Please explain why you"re so late,”his boss said.“Go and jump in the lake,” replied Frank. “I"ve just come into a little money so this is goodbye.Find yourself someone else to shout at.”
That evening Frank was smoking a very expensive Havana cigar when a knock was heard on the door. He rushed to the door. Outside were two men,neatly dressed in grey suits. “Mr Smithson,” one of them said,“We"re from Bigwoods Football Pools. I"m afraid there’s been a terrible mistake……”

解析

试题分析:这篇短文讲述的是Frank在公司经常受老板的气,但是有一天他受到一封信说他中了50万的奖,他很高兴,终于不会再受老板的气了。当老板再次批评他的时候,他毅然决然的辞职了。但是当天晚上,两个人来到Frank的家告诉他,他们犯了一个错误......
小题1:推理判断题。根据文章中第一段的这句话a boss who shouts at me all the time.”可知,Frank的老板总是对他大声喊叫,所以我们可以推测出Frank和老板的关系不是很好。故选D。
小题2:句意猜测题。根据文意可知,因为Frank上班迟到了,所以遭到了老板的批评,但是这时的Frank以为自己中了大奖,所以不把老板当回事了,所以这里的jump in the lake意为去跳到湖里去吧,即去死吧。故选A。
小题3:推理判断题。根据文章的最后一段,当Frank听到敲门声时,他rush to the door,他冲到了门那,可见他非常的兴奋,加上他意为自己中了大奖,所以他应该是以为是他的朋友们来祝贺他来了。故选D。A意为有人来道歉;B意为他的同事来安慰他;C意为他的邻居来询问足球彩票的事。这些选项都不符合文意。
小题4:推理判断题。根据文意可知,Frank以为自己中了50万的大奖,所以当Bigwoods Football Pools的人来到家里,并且说他们犯了一个错误的时候,Frank应该是感到很紧张,他害怕是自己中奖的事有什么出错的地方。故选C。因为这里Bigwoods Football Pools的人还没有说是什么事情,故不应该是disappointed 失望或worried 担心;curious 好奇的。不符合文意。
小题5:主旨大意题。这篇文章讲了Frank以为自己中了大奖,就跟自己的老板闹掰了,但是结果他中奖的事可能出了问题。所以通过这样一个故事作者想告诉我们在事情还没有完全定下来之前,不要给自己不留后路,因为一切可能都还有变化。故B选项最符合这个意思。
