Question

Paul and I live in the same building. His room is on the sixth floor but mine is on the fifth. He’s very careless and sometimes he gets into trouble.

 Last Friday afternoon the young man and his friends went to spend the weekend on a wild island. They could swim, fish, play the guitar and sleep in the quiet place at night. They enjoyed themselves there. On the third morning they decided to get back to the land. But their boat hit a rock and soon went down. With the villager’s help, they swam to the bank. Luckily none of them was hurt. They took a taxi and half an hour later they arrived at our town, but it was two in the night. The young man was hungry and thirsty. He wished to get home as soon as possible. Something was wrong with the lift, so he had to go up the stairs. He stopped by my door and brought out a key. Of course he could not open the door. Half an hour passed but he failed. He became angry and shouted, “I’ll cut you down with a knife!”

The noise woke me up and I opened the door. I understood at once what was happening and said, “You’re trying to open a wrong door, Paul!”

“Sorry, I can’t agree with you, Charlie!” said the young man, “It’s my room. You’ve entered it by mistake!”

试题分析: 本文讲述Paul与Charlie住在同一楼时，一个六楼一个五楼，paul经常很粗心走错，在一次游玩之后他又走错了，还不承认。

1.D 细节理解题。根据第二段提到They could swim, fish, play the guitar and sleep in the quiet place at night. They enjoyed themselves there.他们能游泳，钓鱼，玩吉他，晚上在安静睡觉，所以选D项，做他们想做的，所以感觉十分快乐。

2.A 细节理解题。根据第三段提到The noise woke me up and I opened the door. I understood at once what was happening and said, “You’re trying to open a wrong door, Paul!”这个声音吵醒了我，我打开门，明白发生了什么事，说，Paul你开错门了，所以选A项。

3.C 细节理解题。根据第三段提到The noise woke me up and I opened the door. I understood at once what was happening这个声音吵醒了我，我就明白怎么回事，所以我打开门是看看发生什么事了，故选C项。

4.B 细节理解题。根据第二段提到Something was wrong with the lift, so he had to go up the stairs. He stopped by my door and brought out a key.可见他走错是了楼层，以为到了六楼了，根据最后一句话Sorry, I can’t agree with you, Charlie!” said the young man, “It’s my room. You’ve entered it by mistake可见他不认为自己走错了，所以选B项是错误的。
