题目解答
答案
（1）B.细节理解题。根据文中第二段On Thursday，my luck changed.I got on a bus right away and arrived at the theatre in exactly twenty minutes.星期四，我的运气变了。我马上上了一辆公共汽车，到了二十分钟后就到剧院。根据第三段By Friday I realized my only hope was to make the trip by taxi.It was expensive，but I felt it would be worth it to hear the concert.The trip by taxi only took 10 minutes，but it felt like an hour to me.When I got to the theatre，星期五我意识到我唯一的希望就是出租车。它很贵，但我感觉到了值得一提的是音乐会乘出租车只花了10分钟，但对去哦来说感觉像一个小时。作者从周一到周五利用午餐时间去购票的经过，可知，他只在周四、周五两天到达了售票点。故选B.
（2）B.推理判断题。根据文中第二段最后一句I got on a bus right away and arrived at the theatre in exactly twenty minutes.我马上上了公共汽车，正好二十分钟就到了剧院。和第三段倒数第三句中的The trip by taxi only took 10 minutes，but it felt like an hour to me.乘出租车旅行只花了10分钟，但对我来说好像一个小时。可知，乘出租车至少节约10分钟。故选B.
（3）A.词义猜测题。根据该词后I was relieve to see that nobody was waiting in line.看到没人排队，我松了一口气，并推断可知，作者当时是很高兴的。A.pleased高兴的；B.sorry对不起的；C.puzzled困惑的；D.surprised吃惊的，故选A.
（4）C.主旨大意题。纵观全文可知，作者从第一段I was very disappointed not to be able to go to the jazz concert last Friday.The advertisement in the paper said that you could buy tickets at the theatre box in Richland Hills any day between 10：00 and 4：00.上次没能去听爵士音乐会，我很失望星期五报纸上的广告说，你可以在10：00到4：00之间的任何一天在里士兰山的剧院包厢买票。所以开始就介绍了自己买音乐会的票所作出的种种努力。故选C.
