Question

A driver stopped his car on a street side to have a rest. When he sat in the seat and closed his eyes, a pedestrian (行人) came up and knocked at his window to ask the time. The driver opened his eyes and looked at his watch, “It is 8 o’clock.” He said. Then he went to sleep again. But soon he woke up because a second pedestrian was knocking at the window, “Sir, do you have the time?” he asked. The driver looked at his watch again and told the man it was 8:30.

If it happened again, he could not have a good rest. So he wrote a short note and put it on the window for all the people to see. It said, “I don’t have the time.”

Again the man sat in the seat and slept. A few minutes later a third pedestrian came along and began knocking at the window. “Hey, sir,” she said, “It’s 8:45.”

【解析】

试题分析：短文大意：一位司机将车停在路边想休息休息。他坐在座位上刚闭上眼睛时就有人来敲窗问世间，如果再发生一次，他不能好好休息。所以他写了一个简短的说明，把它放在窗口，让所有的人看到。它说，“我不知道时间。”

1.B细节理解题。根据短文开头句A driver stopped his car on a street side to have a rest可知司机将车停在路边是想休息休息，所以该选B。

2.C细节理解题。根据第一段中When he sat in the seat and closed his eyes, a pedestrian (行人) came up and knocked at his window to ask the time.可知当他坐在座位上闭上眼睛时，一行人走过来敲他的车窗问时间，所以该选C。

3.A词义猜测题。根据第二段中If it happened again, he could not have a good rest. So he wrote a short note and put it on the window for all the people to see可知划线句的意思是“不要问我时间”，所以该选A。

4.D细节理解题。根据第三段中A few minutes later a third pedestrian came along and began knocking at the window. “Hey, sir,” she said, “It’s 8:45.”可知第三个行人敲窗户是想告诉他时间，所以该选D。
