1.1.What do we know about Jimmy Grewal?
A He is a computer maker.
B He is a phone seller.
C He is an Apple fan.
D He is a school teacher.
解析:选C。C 细节理解题。文章第一段明确说 Jimmy “loves Apple computers”,并且“collects Apple computers and devices”,所以他是一个 Apple 迷,选 C。A“电脑制造者”文章没有说他制造电脑;B“手机卖家”文章没有提到他卖手机,他卖部分电脑是为了筹钱办展览;D“学校教师”文章完全没有提到,因此不选。故选C。
2.2. What does the underlined word “exhibition” mean?
A A shop for computers.
B A trip to Dubai.
C A public show of things.
D A game for children.
解析:选C。C 词义猜测题。文章紧接着对 exhibition 作了解释:“An exhibition is a public event where people show things.” 也就是说 exhibition 是“公开展示物品的活动/展览”,与 C“A public show of things”一致。A“电脑商店”是售卖电脑的地方,不是文中定义;B“去迪拜的旅行”与词义无关;D“儿童游戏”也没有依据,因此不选。故选C。
3.3. Why will Jimmy sell some computers?
A To buy more old computers.
B To help his old school.
C To give them to children.
D To get money for his show.
解析:选D。D 细节理解题。文章第二段说:“He needs money, so he will sell some of the computers.” 这里的 it 指前一句的 “hold an exhibition”,也就是举办展览。因此他卖一些电脑是为了给自己的展览筹钱,选 D。A“买更多旧电脑”虽然文章提到他会买旧电脑,但这不是他卖电脑的原因;B“帮助他的老学校”和 C“送给孩子们”文中都没有依据,因此不选。故选D。
4.4. What can we infer (推断) about Grewal?
A He works hard for what he loves.
B He will stop buying computers.
C He wishes to teach students.
D He plans to join Apple.
解析:选A。A 推理判断题。文章说一些电脑当年不流行、现在很难找到,但 Grewal 努力工作去得到它们,并且他相信“hard work brings success”。同时,他热爱 Apple 电脑、长期收藏并想办展览,可以推断他愿意为自己热爱的事情努力,选 A。B“他将停止购买电脑”文中没有依据,也和他的收藏爱好矛盾;C“他希望教学生”和 D“他计划加入 Apple”文中均未提及,因此不选。故选A。
