Question

根據短文內容回答下面的問題。
As you’re using e-mails, remember that sending and getting letters can sometimes bring about serious trouble.
When Jim left the snow-covered streets of London for a holiday in New York, his wife was on a business trip and was planning to meet him there the next day. When he reached his hotel in New York, he decided to send his wife a quick e-mail. But he couldn’t find the piece of paper on which he had written her e-mail address. He tried his best to remember where he had put it, but failed. Unluckily, he made a mistake and sent it to an old woman. Her husband had died a few years ago. When she saw the e-mail, she gave a terrible shout and fell on the floor. Her family rushed into the room and saw the message on the computer.
“Dearest wife, everything is ready for your arrival tomorrow.
Love, Jim.
P.S. it’s hot here.”
【小題1】Where was Jim for his holiday?
【小題2】Why couldn’t Jim write his wife’s e-mail address correctly?
【小題3】Was it hot in London?

Answer 1

【小題1】He is in New York for his holiday.
【小題2】Because he couldn’t find the piece of paper on which he had written her e-mail address.
【小題3】No, it wasn’t.

解析【小題1】根據for a holiday in New York,可知是去倫敦旅行，故答：He is in New York for his holiday.
【小題2】根據But he couldn’t find the piece of paper on which he had written her e-mail address. 可知答：Because he couldn’t find the piece of paper on which he had written her e-mail address.
【小題3】it’s hot here.不但可以表示這里很熱，而且可以表示這里的人很熱情的意思。聯系上文the snow-covered streets of London倫敦是冬季，紐約同樣處于北半球也應該是冬季，不應該很熱。以及下文把這個老婦人嚇昏過去的事實，也證明了這句話是這里的人們很熱情的意思。故答;No, it wasn’t.
