Question

Mr. Smith gave his wife money every Friday evening. His wife always spent all the money before next Wednesday, so that for the next few days she had no money. One day Mr. Smith asked her, “How did you spend all that money?” She answered, “I don’t know.”

So one Friday evening, Mr. Smith gave her money together with an exercise book and a pencil. He said to his wife, “Please write down how you spend the money.”

Next Tuesday, his wife had no money again. Mr. Smith took the exercise book to see how she had spent it. “I have done what you told me,” she said gladly. She had written “Friday, I got 18 pounds from Mr. Smith” on the first page, and on the second page, she wrote, “Tuesday, I have spent it all.”

【解析】Smith夫人几天就能把她的丈夫给她的钱花完，于是Smith先生就给了她一个本和笔，让她记录钱是如何花掉的。但Smith夫人只在本上记录了周五收到钱，周二花完了钱。

1.细节理解题。根据短文的开头Mr. Smith gave his wife money every Friday evening. His wife always spent all the money before next Wednesday, so that for the next few days she had no money.可知，Smith先生每周五晚上给Smith夫人前，她在下周三之前就会把所有的钱花掉，也就是四天，故应选B。

2.细节理解题。根据短文中So one Friday evening, Mr. Smith gave her money together with an exercise book and a pencil. He said to his wife, “Please write down how you spend the money.”可知，Smith先生给她一个笔记本和一支铅笔，是想让她把怎样花钱的记下来。由此可知应选D。

3.细节理解题。根据短文中“I have done what you told me,” she said gladly.可知，Smith夫人开心地按照Smith先生吩咐的去做了。由此可知应选A。

4.细节理解题。根据短文中Mr. Smith gave his wife money every Friday evening.可知，Smith先生每周五的晚上给Smith夫人钱，所以是一周一次。故应选A。

5.推理判断题。根据短文的最后She had written “Friday, I got 18 pounds from Mr. Smith” on the first page, and on the second page, she wrote, “Tuesday, I have spent it all.”我们可以知道，Smith夫人在笔记本上只简单的写了收到了钱，花完了钱，但却没有记录她如何把钱花完的，所以她不是一个细心的人。故应选C。
