单选题 3/5
What happened at the airport?
A The skeleton went missing.
B The skeleton was stolen.
C The teacher forgot his suitcase.
题目解答
答案
根据文章内容,我们可以这样进行推理:
- 定位关键信息:文章中提到,这位老师把人体骨骼(Rupert)放在了一个大的棕色手提箱里。在机场柜台附近,他因为想买报纸暂时离开,把箱子留在了那里。
- 分析发生的事件:当他买完报纸回来时,发现有人“by mistake”(错误地/无意中)拿走了他的手提箱。
- 对比选项:
- A. The skeleton went missing.(人体骨骼丢失了。):因为装有骨骼的手提箱被人错拿,导致骨骼实际上丢失了。这与文章描述的结果相符。
- B. The skeleton was stolen.(人体骨骼被偷了。):文章明确指出是有人“by mistake”(错拿),而不是故意偷窃,所以“stolen”一词不准确。
- C. The teacher forgot his suitcase.(老师忘记了他的手提箱。):老师是暂时把箱子放在柜台附近去买报纸,并非忘记带箱子。
综合以上推理,最符合文章描述的选项是 A。
正确答案:A
解析
本题考查对文章细节内容的理解和推理能力。解题的关键在于准确理解文章中在机场发生的事件经过,并对每个选项进行细致分析,判断其是否与文章描述相符。
- 首先明确文章关键信息:老师将人体骨骼(Rupert)放在大棕色手提箱里,在机场柜台附近,他为买报纸暂时离开,把手提箱留在原地。
- 接着分析事件结果:当他回来时,发现有人“by mistake”(错误地/无意中)拿走了他的手提箱。
- 然后对各选项进行分析:
- A选项:The skeleton went missing.(人体骨骼丢失了。)因为装有骨骼的手提箱被人错拿,所以骨骼实际上丢失了,这与文章描述的结果相符。
- B选项:The skeleton was stolen.(人体骨骼被偷了。)文章明确指出是有人“by mistake”(错拿),并非故意偷窃,所以“stolen”一词不准确。
- C选项:The teacher forgot his suitcase.(老师忘记了他的手提箱。)老师是暂时把箱子放在柜台附近去买报纸,并非忘记带箱子。
