Question

A beautiful and very successful actress was the star of a new musical show. Her home was in the country, but she didn’t want to have to go back there every night. So she rented an expensive flat in the centre of the city, bought some beautiful furniture and hired a man to paint the rooms in new colours.
It was very difficult to get tickets for her show, because everybody wanted to see it, so she decided to give the painter two of the best seats. She hoped that this would make him work better and more willingly for her. He took the tickets without saying anything, and she heard no more about them until the end of the month, when she got the painter’s bill. At the bottom of it were the words: “Four hours watching Miss Ball sing and dance: $3,” with this note: “After 5 p.m., I get fifteen shillings an hour instead of ten shillings.”

試題分析：本文介紹一個非常成功漂亮的女演員。她的家離市區(qū)很遠，于是她租了一棟昂貴的公寓，并請來一個粉刷工為她粉刷墻壁，為了讓粉刷工認真工作，她送給他去看演唱會的門票。演唱會結(jié)束后，這名粉刷匠給她一張紙條寫著：“觀看你的演唱會四小時價值3美元，但是我在下午五點以后一小時收費15先令�！�
小題1:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)粉刷工紙條上的內(nèi)容：Four hours watching Miss Ball sing and dance: $3“觀看Ball小姐唱歌跳舞四小時價值3美元�！笨芍狹iss Ball是這個女演員。
小題2:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)She hoped that this would make him work better and more willingly for her.“她希望這樣能使他更好的工作并更愿意為她工作。”可知，是為了是他更高興。故選A。
小題3:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)He took the tickets without saying anything, and she heard no more about them until the end of the month“他拿著票什么也沒說，并且直到月末什么也沒說。”可知，他拿到票就去看演唱會了。故選B。
