Question

Frank Smithson woke up and leaned over to turn off the alarm clock. "Oh no!" he thought to himself. " Another day at that office; a boss who shouts at me all the time."

As Frank went downstairs his eyes fell on a large brown envelope by the door. He was overjoyed when he opened it and read the letter inside. "Bigwoods Football Pools(足球赌博公司)would like to congratulate you. You have won half a million pounds."

Frank suddenly came to life. The cigarette fell from his lips as he let out a shout that could be heard halfway down the street.

At 11:30 Frank arrived at work. "Please explain why you're so late," his boss said. "Go and jump in the lake," replied Frank. "I've just come into a little money so this is good-bye. Find yourself someone else to shout at."

That evening Frank was smoking a very expensive Havana cigar(雪茄) when a knock was heard on the door. He rushed to the door. Outside were two men, neatly(整洁) dressed in grey suits. "Mr. Smithson," one of them said, "we're from Bigwoods Football Pools. I'm afraid there's been a terrible mistake…"

【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文讲述的是Frank在公司经常受老板的气，但是有一天他受到一封信说他中了50万的奖，他很高兴，终于不会再受老板的气了。当老板再次批评他的时候，他毅然决然的辞职了。但是当天晚上，两个人来到Frank的家告诉他，他们犯了一个错误......

1.C推理判断题。根据文章中第一段的这句话“a boss who shouts at me all the time.”可知，Frank的老板总是对他大声喊叫，所以我们可以推测出Frank和老板的关系不是很好。故选C。

2.B推理判断题。根据文章的最后一段，当Frank听到敲门声时，他rush to the door,他冲到了门那，可见他非常的兴奋，加上他以为自己中了大奖，所以他应该是以为是他的朋友们来祝贺他来了。A意为有人来道歉；B意为他的同事来安慰他；C意为他的邻居来询问足球彩票的事。这些选项都不符合文意。故选D。

3.C推理判断题。根据文意可知，Frank以为自己中了50万的大奖，所以当Bigwoods Football Pools的人来到家里，并且说他们犯了一个错误的时候，Frank应该是感到很紧张，他害怕是自己中奖的事有什么出错的地方。因为这里Bigwoods Football Pools的人还没有说是什么事情，故不应该是disappointed 失望或worried 担心；curious 好奇的。不符合文意。故选C。

考点：考查故事阅读类短文阅读

【名师点睛】

阅读理解推理判断题的解题技巧：

推理判断题要求考生根据文章提供的事实和线索进行逻辑推理，推断出作者没有提到的或者没有明说的事实或者可能发生的事实。这类旨在考查考生透过词语的字面意义去理解作者的言外之意或弦外之音的能力，属深层理解题。此类试题的设计常常包括infer, imply, suggest, conclude等词。

1. 运用文段所叙述或描绘的事件背景提供的信息进行推理判断

2. 运用已有的经验、经历或常识进行推理判断。比如第21题，题目是问我们Frank相关的，因此要结合全文来回答此题，由四个选项A. He was a lazy man.他是一个懒惰的人；B. He made a lot of money.他赚了很多钱；C. He didn't get on well with his boss.他和他的老板关系不好。D. He was a lucky person.他是一个幸运的人。以及文章内容讲的是Frank和老板还有中奖的事，然后根据文章中第一段的这句话“a boss who shouts at me all the time.”可知，Frank的老板总是对他大声喊叫，所以根据常识，老板经常对着员工大喊大叫，可以推测出员工和老板的关系不是很好。故选C。

3. 紧扣主题或话题，避免掉入细节事实的陷阱

有些题目要求读者根据文段的相关信息对文中人物的性格、心理状况、心智或品质作出判断，这时一定要扣紧文段的主题或话题，不要受一些细节事实的干扰。比如第23题，前文Frank因为中了大奖并且受够了老板对他经常大喊大叫，就辞职了，现在当他中奖的主办方Bigwoods Football Pools的人来到家里，并且说他们犯了一个错误的时候，Frank应该是感到很紧张，他害怕是自己中奖的事有什么出错的地方。而且这里Bigwoods Football Pools的人还没有说是什么事情，所以也不会是其余几个选项。故选C。
