Question

    A driver stopped his car on a street side to have a rest. As he lay down in the seat and closed his eyes, a man came up and knocked at the window to ask the time. The driver opened his eyes and looked at his watch. "It's 8 a. m." he said. Then he went to sleep again.

But soon he woke up because a second person was knocking at the window. "Sir, do you have the time?" he asked. The driver looked at his watch again, and told the man it was 8: 30 a. m.

At this rate (照此下去), he could not have a good rest, so he wrote a short note (字条) and put it up on the window for all to see. It said, "I don't have the time."

Again the man lay down in the seat for his sleep. A few minutes later, a third person came along and began knocking at the window. "Hey, sir," he said. "It's a quarter to nine."

【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位停下车来去休息的司机，两次被行人打扰询问时间后，在窗户上贴了张写着“我不知道时间。”的字条。没多久第三个行人敲了他的窗户并告诉了他几点了。

1.推理判断题。由文章第一句“A driver stopped his car on a street side to have a rest.”及下文的“lay down in the seat and closed his eyes”及第三段“At this rate, he could not have a good rest...”可知，这位司机停下车是为了好好休息一下，可推理出这位司机是感觉累了所以想休息。结合选项可知，故选D项。

2.推理判断题。由第一段“It's 8 a. m.”及第二段“The driver looked at his watch again, and told the man it was 8: 30 a. m.”第一次有行人路过时，他说八点，第二次说八点半，两个时间间隔半小时，可推理得知第二个人在半小时后询问的司机几点了。结合选项，故选B项。

3.细节理解题。由最后一段“A few minutes later, a third person came along and began knocking at the window. ”可知，在司机张贴了字条之后没多久，第三个人来敲窗户。因此没多久他就又被叫醒了。结合选项，故选B项。

4.细节理解题。由文章最后一句"Hey, sir," he said. "It's a quarter to nine."可知，第三个行人敲了司机的窗户并告诉他现在是九点差一刻，故行人是误解了司机贴在车窗上的字条含义，他以为司机说他不知道时间的目的是想知道几点了。结合选项，故选C项。
