Question

The woman heard what the old woman said and began to cry. She cried and cried and no one could stop her.

When the bus came to a stop, a young man got on the bus with some bananas and sat at the back of the bus. He saw the woman crying, so he went over and said to her,” Oh, come, please don’t cry any more. You look very ugly when you are crying.”

The woman didn’t stop crying. Instead, she cried even harder. The young man didn’t know what he could do. Suddenly he noticed the bananas in his hand and had a good idea. So he said again to the woman, ”Well, if you stop crying, I will give your monkey some bananas to eat.”

【解析】

试题分析：

这是一篇小故事，内容比较幽默，引人入胜，文中没有很难的词汇，关键点是男人最后一句话。

1.1】试题分析：推断题，根据下文有old woman以及her husband可以断定这一一对老夫妇，couple 夫妇，夫妻。

2.2】试题分析：根据Look at the child. He’s so ugly(丑陋的).”可知那个男孩长得很丑，不好看， good-looking好看的。

3.3】试题分析：细节推理题，老夫妇说她的孩子长的很丑，所以女人伤心的哭了起来。

4.4】试题分析：细节考察题，根据Oh, come, please don’t cry any more. You look very ugly when you are crying.”

The woman didn’t stop crying. Instead, she cried even harder可知男士劝她“别哭了，当你哭的时候很丑。”女人听到这些话时就哭得更厉害了。因此可以推断出女人哭的更厉害是因为男人说他哭的时候很丑。

5.试题分析：细节考察题，根据最后一句“Well, if you stop crying, I will give your monkey some bananas to eat.”男人对女人说“如果你不哭，我就给你的猴子吃香蕉”，男人认为女人怀里的孩子是猴子，由此推断出那个孩子确实很丑，所以那个男人说的话说明那个男孩很丑。

【考点】记叙文。
