试题分析：本文讲述的是一位退休工人去日本旅游时，在轮船上遇到的有趣的故事。有轮船上的第一个早上，当他在早餐桌旁遇到一位英国人时，英国人对他说“早上好”，不懂英语的他以为英国人在做自我介绍，于是站起来说出自己的名字“凌冰”。后面他从一位老师处知道了英国人的意思，于是主动给英国人用英语打招呼“早上好”，而这位英国人也站起来说“凌冰”。

1.C推理判断题。题意：凌先生是做什么的？A.Sports lover.运动爱好者；B.A farmer.农民；C.A worker.工人；D.In good health.身体健康。由第二句：He worked in a factory and last year he retired.可知，他在工厂工作，是一位工人。故选C。

2.D推理判断题。题意：老人怎样呆在家里？A.with his wife和他的妻子一起；B.with his son和他的儿子一起；C.with his daughter 和他的女儿一起；D.by himself单独。由第一段里的：His wife died five years ago and his son works in Japan. 可知，他的妻子去世了，而他的儿子远在日本工作。可以推测出他独自一人生活。故选D。

4.D细节理解题。题意：老人为什么告诉英国人自己的名字？A.he hoped to make friends with him 他希望和他交朋友；B.he wanted to say hello to him,too他也想和他打招呼；C.he wanted him to teach him English 他想要他教他英语；D.he thought “Good morning” was the Englishman’s name他以为Good morning是那个英国人的名字。由第四段里的：He thought the Englishman told his name to him. So he stood up and said, “Ling Bing!”可知，他以为英国人在介绍自己的名字，所以他也作了自我介绍。故选D。

5.推理判断题。题意：哪一个是对的？A.Mr Ling began to study English on the ship.凌先生在轮船上开始学英语；B.The Englishman thought “Ling Bing” meant “Good morning” in Chinese.英国人以为在汉语里“凌冰”意思是“早上好”；C.The Englishman learned much Chinese on the ship.轮船上的英国人懂的汉语多；D.The teacher began to teach Mr Ling English.老师开始教凌先生英语。根据短文内容，每当英国人给凌先生讲“早上好”时，凌先生就回复“凌冰”，因此英国人一定认为“凌冰”和“早上好”句义相当。所以当老人用英语向他问候“早上好”时，他回复了“凌冰”。故选B。
