Question

　　The worst tourist in the world is Nicholas Seottie of San Francisco. Once he flew from the US to his hometown in Italy to see someone at home. The plane stopped to get oil at Kennedy Airport of New York after an hour's flying. As he thought he had arrived home, Mr Scottie got off the plane. He thought he was in Rome. When nobody was there to meet him, Mr Scottie thought maybe they were held up by heavy traffic. While looking for their address, Mr Scottie found that the old “Rome” had changed a lot. Many old buildings were replaced by high modern ones. He also found that many people spoke English instead of Italian and that many streets were written in English. Mr Scottie knew very little English, so he asked a policeman the way to the bus station. He happened to meet a policeman who was also born in Italy and answered him in the same language. After twelve hour's travelling round on a bus, the driver handed him over to a second policeman. He asked the policeman why the Rome police employed so many people as policemen speaking English instead of Italian. Mr Scottie did not believe he was in New York when he was told so. To get him on a plane back to San Francisco, he was sent to the airport in a police car with sirens (警報(bào)) on. “Look,” said Scottie to his interpreter (翻譯) , “I know I'm in Italy. That's how they drive.”

Answer 1

答案：D;A;A;B;C
解析：

(1) 推理判斷題。由句子The plane stopped to get oil at Kennedy Airport of New York可知，飛機(jī)沒(méi)有離開(kāi)美國(guó)，而是在紐約Kennedy機(jī)場(chǎng)，而Mr Scottie的目的地是意大利的羅馬，因而沒(méi)有人接他。故A、B兩項(xiàng)各是一部分，應(yīng)合起來(lái)。 (2) 本題考查地理知識(shí)。因意大利在美國(guó)的東部，故選項(xiàng)B、C、D都不合適。 (3) 本題考查對(duì)短文的整體理解。由他在機(jī)場(chǎng)上找“羅馬地址”“問(wèn)路”“不懂英語(yǔ)”等可以判斷，Mr Scottie對(duì)美國(guó)了解很少，并且也不怎么會(huì)說(shuō)英語(yǔ)，因而才那么確信自己是在羅馬。故選A。 (4) 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。原文中有Mr Scottie didn't believe he was in New York when he was told so.并且在文末他還說(shuō)I know I'm in Italy. That's how they drive.據(jù)此可判斷，直到最后他仍認(rèn)為自己在羅馬，故選B。 (5) 根據(jù)一般的生活知識(shí)，應(yīng)該是很少有人犯Mr Scottie那樣的錯(cuò)誤。故選項(xiàng)C最確切。
