Take care of your things during the trip.” He went to the station, bought a ticket and go on the train with it. About half an hour later, the conductor began to see the tickets. He came to the old man and said. “Will you please show me your ticket ?” the old man looked for his ticket in all his pockets, but he could not find it. He was very worried. “I can’t find my ticket, I really bought a ticket before I got on the train” said the old man.
“I believe you bought a ticket. All right , you don’t have buy another one” said the conductor kindly. “But how can I know where I’m going? I can’t remember my station!” the old man said sadly
小题1:The old man in the story was very ______.| A．kind | B．poor | C．forgetful | D．sad |
小题2:The old man bought the ticket ______ he got on the train.| A．after | B．before | C．until | D．when. |

|
小题1:C
小题2:B
小题3:C
小题4:D |
试题分析：
小题1:根据本文的第二句He always forgot a lot of things.，意思为他总是忘记许多事情，所以说文中的老人应该是一个健忘的人，forgetful表示此意，故本题选C。
小题2:根据第二段第三行这一句He went to the station, bought a ticket and go on the train with it. 可知老人是买了火车票之后才上了火车，也就是说老人在上了火车之前买了火车票，before表示在……之前的意思，故本题选B。
小题3:老人在火车上找不到火车票，根据本文倒数第二句“I believe you bought a ticket. All right , you don’t have buy another one” said the conductor kindly. 可知售票员是相信老人买了票，故本题选C。
小题4:根据本文的最后一句可知老人难过的愿因是老人不知道去哪里，是想不起来火车站的名称，也就是说他不知道到哪里下火车站，故本题更符合文章含义的是D项，故选D。
点评：本文主要介绍了一个非常健忘的老人，买了火车票，上了火车，却不知道火车票到哪里去了，最后找不到火车票，也不知道自己应该在哪里下车。阅读本文应根据上下文仔细推敲老人忘记火车票的原因以及最后难过的真正原因。尤其注意的是老人最终难过的原因不是没有火车票，而是不知道自己在哪里下车。 |
