Question

試題分析：短文大意：這篇短文主要講述了一個發(fā)生在火車站的故事。一個人擔(dān)心自己是否能趕上10:35的火車，但是火車在5分鐘以前已經(jīng)開走了，因此文中的老搬運工就和他開了一個小玩笑。
小題1:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第一段and waiting for travelers to ask him to help them with their luggage,描述，可知這個搬運工人的工作是幫助人們搬運行李。故選C。
小題2:推理判斷題。聯(lián)系前文“Can I catch the 10:35 train to London, porter?” 描述，可知這個人擔(dān)心的是，自己是否能趕上10:35的火車。故選B。
小題3:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)because I don’t know how fast you can run along rails. 描述，可知這個老搬運工是在給這個人開玩笑。故選A。
小題4:推理判斷題。根據(jù)“the 10:35 train to London left five minutes ago.”可知現(xiàn)在是10:40，故選A。
