nearly

out

of

sight的时候这个法国人就发现他的手表不见了。据此可知答案为A。4.D。根据第2段中说The

Frenchman

frightened...我们可以推知这个意大利人是害怕这个法国人的拳头才把手表给他。5.B。谁被抢走了手表？读完全文我们可知The

Italian正是被人抢走手表的无辜受害者。(8)Mr.HarrisusedtoworkinDover,butthenhechangedhiswork,andheandhiswifemovedtoanothertown.Theydidnothavemanyfriendsthere,buttheysoonmetalotofinterestingpeople,andafterafewweeks,theyoftenwenttodinnerortopartiesatotherpeople’shouses.ThenMrs.Harrissaidtoherhusband,“We’vebeentoalotofotherpeople’shouses,andnowwemustinvitethemtoourhouse,mustn’twe?”“Yes,certainly,”answeredherhusband,“Abigpartywillbetheeasiestthing,won’tit?Thenwecanstarttoinvitepeopletodinnerinsmallnumbersnextmonth.”SoMrs.Harrissaid,“Yes,I’llinviteallourfriendsheretoabigpartyon5thDecember.”“Howmanywillthatbe?”Mr.Harrisasked.“Don’tinvitetoomany.”Mrs.Harriswasbeginningtowritetheinvitationswhenherhusbandsawthatshewaswriting,“Party:6:30to8:30p.m.”“Thatisn’tverynice,isit?”hesaid.“You’retellingourgueststhattheymustgoat8:30.”SoMrs.Harrisjustwrote“Party:6:30p.m.”Alotofguestscame,andtheyallhadagoodtime,sotheydidnotgohomeat8:30.Infacttheywerestillthereatmid-nightwhenthedoorbellrangandapolicemanarrived.Hesaid,“Youmuststopmakinganoise,becausesomeonehascomplained(抱怨).”Mr.Harrissaidhedidnotwanttoquarrelwiththepoliceman,soeveryonewenthome.Theyweresorryt
