【解析】這篇文章介紹了瑞克第一次去波士頓參加會議。由于他不認識路，他在路邊問了一對友好的老夫婦，但老夫婦聽錯了，故而指錯了方向。后來警察把他帶到正確的地方。

【1】B細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Rick went to Boston for a meeting可知瑞克是去開會。故選B。

【2】C細節(jié)理解題。由it was Rick’s first time to visit the city, so he didn’t know the way可知瑞克對這個城市不了解。故選C。

【3】A細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)The couple told Rick to take the underground and get off at Prince Station. Rick followed their advice, got off at Prince Station and walked east. An hour later, he was disappointed to find that

he was on 41st Street, not 44th Street可知Prince Station在第41大街。故選A。

【4】D詞義猜測題。從文中當瑞克看到不是第44大街，他應該感到失望。故選D。

【5】C計算題。從文中Another hour later, when a policeman took him back, he saw the couple again可知，瑞克找到正確的地方用了2個小時。故選C。

點晴：對細節(jié)理解題的答案一般在文中能找到，做題時帶著問題快速閱讀，找出能解決問題的有關信息；如第1題通過Rick went to Boston for a meeting可知瑞克是去開會。詞義猜測題要通過上下文的聯(lián)系結合已有的知識來猜測單詞在具體語境中含義。計算題要以原文為依據(jù)，結合數(shù)學知識去推算。
