试题分值：25.0

得分：[5, 5, 5, 5, 5]

提示：[1]D.细节题。本题问“这个年轻女性是如何到达广场的？”浏览

文章后，我们并没有找到相关内容，所以答案是D（文章没有告诉我们）。

[2]C.细节题。本题问“为何这名女士要拦住那辆出租车？”答案在第三

段，该段告诉我们这名女士想搭乘出租车到广场附近的一个饭店。据此可

知答案是C。

[3]A. 推断题。本题问“广场另一边的那个男青年______。”答案在最后

一段，该段大意是“女士说道：‘哦，不是的。我本来答应在中午1点钟的时候和那个男士一起吃午餐的，但是现在已经是1点45分了。如果我乘坐出租车赶到那里的话，这至少显得我在尽力避免迟到。’”据此可以推测答案是A（很可能等待很长时间了）。

[4]A.推断题。本题问“这名女青年_______。”先浏览选项。A的意思“很

善于编造理由”，B的意思“根本没有迟到”，C的意思是“早到了45

分钟”，D的意思是“迟到了15分钟”。本题答案明显是A。

[5]B.推断题。本题问“这名女青年又没有尽力不迟到？”根据第三题的

解释，我们可知这名女青年只是在假装避免迟到，所以答案是B。
