Question

On Martin's birthday, his father gives him a gift. His father says, "Son, it's a magic(有魔力的) book. But to find its magic, you'll have to read it."

Martin doesn't like reading. But he starts reading it because he likes things about magic. The next morning, his father asks him, "Have you found the magic key?" Martin looks through the book, but there is no key. A little later, his younger sister asks him for the book to try reading it. After some days, she says, "I've found the key of the magic book!"

1.细节理解题。原文“On Martin's birthday, his father gives him a gift. His father says, "Son, it's a magic(有魔力的) book." ”（在马丁的生日，他的父亲给他礼物。他父亲说：“儿子，这是一本有魔力的书。”）说明马丁的父亲在他的生日的时候给他一本书，而非在圣诞节或是在元旦，故选C。

2.细节理解题。原文“But he starts reading it because he likes things about magic.”（但他开始阅读，是因为他喜欢魔术。）说明马丁因为喜欢魔术而开始读这本书，而非因为他喜欢读书或是他喜欢和妹妹一起读书，故选B。

3.词句推测题。原文“A little later, his younger sister asks him for the book to try reading it. After some days, she says, "I've found the key of the magic book!"”（过了一会儿，他的妹妹找他要尝试读这本书。几天后，她说：“我已经找到了魔法书的钥匙！”）以及原文“That makes Martin interested in reading the book.”（那使马丁对读这本书感兴趣。）说明让马丁感兴趣的是之前和妹妹的交谈，妹妹说的话让自己感兴趣，故第三段中的“that”指的是谈话，故选A。

4.细节理解题。原文“A little later, his younger sister asks him for the book to try reading it. After some days, she says, "I've found the key of the magic book!"”（过了一会儿，他的妹妹找他要尝试读这本书。几天后，她说：“我已经找到了魔法书的钥匙！”）说明妹妹是第一个找到魔法书钥匙的人，故选B。
