阅读短文, 判断正误。正确的写T,错误的写F。

James wrote a play for television about a family who came to England from India, and the play was very interesting. It was bought by an American TV company.

James was then invited to go to New York to help them. He lived in Washington, which is an hour away from New York by air. The plane was going to take off at 8:30 in the morning. So he had to be at the airport at about 7:30. He ordered a taxi for 6:30 and went to sleep. He forgot to wind the clock, and it stopped after midnight. Also the driver of the taxi had to work very late that night and he got up very late the next morning.

James woke with the feeling that something was wrong. He looked at his clock. It stood there silently with the hands pointing to ten past twelve. He turned on the radio and knew it was ten. He was late for the plane. He was just preparing his coffee when the radio sent out another news, “Reports are coming in of a plane crash(飞机坠落)near Washington airport. A Boeing 707 fly to New York crashed shortly after taking off this morning. Plane number 2234...”  James suddenly turned pale(苍白).”

“My plane,” he said aloud. “If I haven't been late, I'd have been on the plane!”

【解析】

试题分析：短文大意：詹姆斯写了一个关于一个家人从印度来到英国的剧本， 这出戏很有意思，被一个美国电视公司买去。 詹姆斯后来被邀请去纽约帮助他们，他住在华盛顿，需要乘飞机去纽约。詹姆士由于睡过头，错过了飞机航班，这本是件坏事，但是那班航班却失事坠毁。可见：糟糕的事，有时会变成好事。

1.F细节理解题。根据第一段可知，詹姆斯写了一个剧本，是关于一个家庭从印度来到英国的故事。并没有说明他是英国人。所以该写F。

2.T细节理解题。根据短文第二段第三行He ordered a taxi for 6:30 and went to sleep可知，詹姆斯想在6:30乘出租车。所以该选T。

3.F细节理解题。根据第三段He turned on the radio and knew it was ten.可知， 詹姆斯打开收音机知道了当时的时间和飞机失事的消息。所以该写F。

4.F细节理解题。根据第三段倒数第二行A Boeing 707 fly to New York crashed shortly after taking off this morning可知，一架波音707飞往纽约，今天早上起飞后不久就坠毁了，而不是飞往伦敦。所以该选F。
