问题: 难题

At Harton College—an English boarding school(寄宿学校)for boys—there are many rules. Fifteen-year-old Bob Sanders often breaks these rules.

The boys can go into town in the afternoon after classes. But they must return to the school before six o’clock. One afternoon Bob walked to the town. He looked at the shops and then went to the cinema. After the film he looked at his watch. It was after eight o’clock. He was a little worried. He walked back to Harton College as fast as possible.

When he arrived, he ran quickly to the main entrance. It was locked. He looked up at the window of his dormitory(集体宿舍). It was on the third floor. The window was open. But it was quite dark and he went round the school building to another door. That one was locked, too. He couldn’t climb up the wall very easily. Then he saw another open window on the ground floor. It was the window of the headmaster’s study. He looked into the room——no one was there. Bob quickly climbed on to the window sill(窗台)and jumped into the room. Just then he heard a noise. Then someone turned on the light in the corridor. Bob looked around and then hid under the sofa. One minute later, Mr. Mannering, the headmaster, came in. He turned on the light on the desk, and sat down on the sofa. Then he opened a book and began to read.

Bob lay under the sofa as quietly as possible. He could not move. The floor was cold and uncomfortable, he looked at the headmaster’s shoes and socks for an hour.

“Why doesn’t he get up or go to bed?”, he thought.

Finally, the headmaster closed his book and stood up. He put the book on a shelf and walked towards the door.

“Thank heavens, he didn’t find me under the sofa!” thought Bob.

Then, Mr. Mannering stopped and spoke towards the sofa, “Would you turn off the light when you leave?” he said and left the study.

解答:

选c

a 选项,文章只说Fifteen-year-old Bob Sanders often breaks these rules。也就是说,他喜欢违规,没说他一定常去镇子。那天去镇子只是常违规的一个例子。 如果他是经常去镇子,那么 "One afternoon Bob walked to the town".这个句子里应该有as usual之类词。

b He looked at the shops 只是他看,没说他买

c 如果不是校长每天守着每个学生回校,他怎么会那么准逮到Bob?

d 文章没提哪个关门。
