Question

It was a dark and stormy night. I was about to go to bed when I heard a tapping sound on my window.

“Who's there?” I shouted. Suddenly there was a flash of lightning; I saw a face at the window. It looked like an alien（外星人）--- an alien that I had seen on the television show, “the X files”.

I felt very scared. I ran to my bed and pulled my blanket over my head. I started to shout for my parents but there was no reply. Then I remembered that they were at a fancy dress party.

I looked out of my blanket but it was too dark to see anything. Then I heard footsteps. They were getting louder and louder. I ran to my drawer to take out my camera and started to take pictures in the direction of the window. Soon the footsteps died off.

The grandfather clock struck. It was 12 midnight. I went back to my bed and tried to sleep. But I could not sleep. I felt too frightened. I sat up, and my mind was full of thoughts. Time passed --- finally, I fell asleep.

I woke up only after eight and decided to find out what it had been. I found some footprints outside my bedroom window. I measured them with a ruler and found them to be exactly the same size as my father's shoes. I then went to town to get the film developed. I didn't realize that I did not use the flash until I saw the black photos.

When I reached home, I told my father the whole incident and he started to laugh. I started laughing too when he told me that he had dressed up as an alien for the party. Today, I am still amused to think I was so afraid of my own father.

【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文，作者独自一人在家睡觉，被窗外的声音惊醒，他拿起相机拍摄了一些照片，因为没有打开闪光灯，洗出来的照片都是黑的。后来他才发现窗外的人原来是他的父亲。

1.推理判断题。根据第四段第三句“I ran to my drawer to take out my camera and started to take pictures in the direction of the window.”可知我到抽屉里拿了相机朝窗户的方向拍摄，然后再去吧相片洗出来，就是想知道就是谁在窗户外面。故A项正确。

2.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段最后一句“I didn't realize that I did not use the flash until I saw the black photos.”可知因为没有打开闪光灯，什么也没有拍到，洗出来的照片都是黑的。故C项正确。

3.细节理解题。根据第三段后两句“I started to shout for my parents but there was no reply. Then I remembered that they were at a fancy dress party.”可知父母亲出去参加化妆舞会了，我肚子一人在家，所以我喊父母亲的时候没有人回应。故B项正确。
