北邮《大学英语2》第三次阶段作业带答案

一、阅读理解（共1道小题，共25.0分）

1.      William Henry Harrison, the ninth President of the United States, was born in a small town. As a boy, he was quiet and shy. In fact, he was so quiet that everyone thought he was stupid.
     Because of that, the people of the town liked to play jokes on him.
     “Here, William,” one of them would say. “Here is a nickel(五美分硬币), and here is a dime（十美分硬币）. Which one do you want?”
     He always chose the nickel, and then they all laughed at him.
     Finally, his mother took him aside and said to him, “I know that you are a smart boy, but sometimes you let people think you are not so smart. Why do you always choose the nickels instead of the dime?  Don't you know that a dime is worth much more than a nickel?”
     “Certainly, I know it,” William answered slowly.  “But if I choose the dime, they won't play the trick on me any more. Then I won’t get any more nickels.”

[2]B.细节题。本题问“人们认为他非常笨，这是因为_______。”中心词是“thought he was stupid”，答案在第一段的最后一句，该句大意是“当他还是个孩子的时候，他不喜欢说话而且很害羞。实际上，他是如此的安静以至于别人都认为他很笨”。据此可知答案是B。
[3]C.细节题。本题问“每当人们想和他开玩笑的时候，人们就让他_______。”中心词是“played tricks on him”，答案在第二段和第三段，只不过第二段中出现的是“play jokes on him”，这两个词组意思相近。第二段大意是“就因为这个，所以人们喜欢开他的玩笑。”第三段的大意是“有人会说：‘过来，William。这里有一个5美分硬币和一个10美分的硬币。你想选择哪一个？’”根据这两段，我们可以知道答案是C。

[5]D.推断题。本题问“从故事中我们可以推测出William Henry Harrison是______。”答案在最后一段，该段大意是“William慢慢地回答道：‘我当然知道。但是，如果我选择了10美分的硬币，他们就不会再和我开玩笑了。这样的话，我就再也得不到5美分的硬币了。’”据此可知答案是D（聪明的）。
