Question

One sunny Sunday morning, Alex and Emma were playing football in the park. Their dad was sitting on a chair, reading a newspaper.

Then Emma stopped and walked to Alex. “It’s too hot,” she told him. “I think I need a sun hat.” “Me too!” Alex agreed.

Emma looked at her dad’s newspaper and said, “I have an idea.” She asked Dad for two sheets of newspaper and made each of them into a hat. Then she put one on Alex’s head and the other on hers. “The hat is great!” Alex said.

They sat down next to Dad and watched everyone in the park. Then the wind began to blow. Some people started flying kites. “I wish I had a kite,” Alex said. “Or a plane!” Emma said. She took off their hats and made them into two planes.

They played with their planes until they heard thunder (雷声). “Oh, it’s time to go home now,” Emma said. “Or all of us will get wet even if I make each of us a paper umbrella!”

【解析】短文介绍了在一个晴朗的星期日早晨，亚历克斯和艾玛正在公园踢足球，他们的爸爸坐在椅子上看报纸。后来他们用两张报纸做成了两顶遮阳帽，最后又把它们做成了两个纸飞机来放飞，直到听到雷声不得不回家。

1.细节理解题。根据文中句子“Alex and Emma were playing football in the park. Their dad was sitting on a chair”可知，Alex、Emma和他们的父亲在公园里玩，答案为A。

2.细节理解题。根据“Emma stopped and walked to Alex. It's too hot”可知，他们停止踢足球的原因是天气太热了，答案为C。

3.细节理解题。根据“the wind began to blow… She took off their hats and made them into two planes. They played with their planes until they heard thunder”可知，刚开始刮风的时候，他们做了两个纸飞机来玩。答案为C。

4.词义猜测题。even if前后表示让步关系，句意为“即使我给我们每个人都做一把纸伞，我们所有人还是会淋湿的”。由此可知答案为B。

5.细节推断题。根据“…Oh, it's time to go home now, Emma said. Or all of us will get wet even if I make each of us a paper umbrella!”可知，Alex和Emma两人都没带伞。文中未提及“他们不喜欢看报纸”、“他们住得离公园很近”和“他们都很擅长踢足球”这些信息。故答案为D。
