Question

Our neighbour’s son was getting married at an out-of-town church, and my husband and I were invited. We immediately rushed out to a store, and I bought a nice pink dress with a jacket. The dress was a little tight, but I had a month to go before the June 30 wedding and I would lose a few pounds.

June 29 came and, of course, I hadn’t lost a single pound; in fact I had gained two. But I figured a nice new girdle (紧身内衣)would cure everything. So on our way out of the city we stopped once again at the store. I ran in and told the clerk I needed a large-size girdle. The shop assistant found the box with the described girdle marked "LG", and asked if I would like to try it on. “Oh, no, a large will fit just right. I needn’t try it on.”

The next morning was rather hot, so I waited to get dressed until about 45 minutes before time to go. I opened the box only to find a new girdle in a small size. Since it was too late to find another one and the dress wouldn’t fit right without a girdle, a fight broke out in the hotel room between me and the girdle. Have you ever tried to shake 20 pounds of potatoes into a five-pound bag? That’s it. Finally my husband, laughing like crazy, got hold of each side and shook me down into it. At once I put on the pink dress, which didn’t match my red face well, and was ready to go.

Finally we got to the church. I heard one of the people say that they were having a High Mass. I turned to my husband and asked, "What is a High Mass?" He shrugged his shoulders.Unfortunately, I learned that this particular mass would last one hour, twenty-two minutes and eight and one half seconds—the priest (神父) was going to bless everything except my girdle.

【解析】试题分析：本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者一次滑稽可笑的经历。作者为了参加一次婚礼仪式买了一套小一点的套装准备减肥后穿，但是结果没能减肥，不得已买了紧身衣，但是紧身衣又买小了，导致作者费了很大劲才穿上，不幸的是婚礼持续的时间还很长。

1.细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句The dress was a little tight, but I had a month to go before the June 30 wedding and I would lose a few pounds.可知，作者大约提前了四周买了这套衣服。故选B。

2.推理判断题。根据第一段提到的I would lose a few pounds和第二段第一句June 29 came and, of course, I hadn’t lost a single pound; in fact I had gained two.可知，衣服有点紧，作者原本想减肥后穿它。故选A。

3.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段倒数第二句Finally my husband, laughing like crazy, got hold of each side and shook me down into it.可推断，最终在丈夫的帮助下，作者成功穿上了紧身衣。故选D。

4.标题判断题。纵观全文可知，文章讲述了作者为了参加一次婚礼仪式买了一套小一点的套装准备减肥后穿，但是结果没能减肥，不得已买了紧身衣，但是紧身衣又买小了，导致作者费了很大劲才穿上，不幸的是婚礼持续的时间还很长。因此推断C项“窘迫的处境”最能概况作者的情况。故选C。
