「答案与解析」

1.选A.因为在第4段有这样一句Ifapersoncannotfindachairtositon,hedrops

out.那么肯定是椅子比人数少1,这样才会有人没得坐，故选A.

2.选D.在第1段中提到了A、B、C三种可以播放音乐的器具，而D项没有，因为一般来说

电话是不能播放音乐的，所以选D.

3.选D.第2段的Putthechairsinarow就是"把椅子排成一排”这意。选D.

4.选C.由第3段中的句子Whenthemusicstarts,theplayerswalkroundthechairs.

可知答案为C.

5.选B.本题可用排除法，由第1段第2句Itiseasytoplay可知道A项正确；由最后一句

Theonewhositsonthechairwhenthemusicstopsisthewinner.可知C项是正确的；

由第4段的句子Thepersonplayingmusiccannotseethepeopleinthegame可知D项也

是正确的。故答案选区

D.Somethingwaswrongwiththecar

「答案与解析」

1.选D.由句子Hedrivescarefullyandcankeepcalmintimeofdanger.Andheesc

apedfromseveralaccidents.可知，MrKingdrivesverywell,因此老板付给了他更多的薪

水。答案选D.

2.选A.MrBaker因为交通拥挤而经常迟到，受到老板的责骂，所以Hehopestobuyac

ar.但是他没有足够的钱，所以Hedecidedtobuyanoldone,可见他去跳蚤市场是buya

second-handcar（想买一辆二手车），因此答案选A.

3.选C.MrKing试车到了一个十字路口时,Thelightturnedred,所以Hetriedtostopi

t,因此答案选C.

4.选D.MrKing在交警的警告下也没有停住车，最后撞到了树上，他的解释是：Itdoesn't

listentome（车不听我的话），可见车有问题，所以答案选D.
