John Smith was an old porter. He worked at the station. Every day he was busy carrying heavy things for the people. He was careful with his work. He was kind to everyone. He was always ready to help others.
One morning he stood in the station. He was waiting for the train. Just then he saw a man running towards the trains with a big bag in his hand.
“No train is starting. Why is he in such a hurry?” the old man thought to himself.
He went up to the man and asked, “May I help you?”
As soon as the man saw the porter, he stopped running.
“Can I catch the 10:35 train to London?” the man asked. He looked worried.
The old porter looked at him for a few seconds and said, “Well, sir. I’d like to help you, but I can’t answer your question because I don’t know how fast you can run.” Then he explained to the man, “The 10:35 train toLondonleft five minutes ago. Can you run fast enough to catch it?”

通讀全文, 故事講述的是車(chē)站搬運(yùn)工John Smith有一天在火車(chē)站同一名旅客間的一段對(duì)話,故事很幽默。
第一個(gè)問(wèn)題是一個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)題,第1段清楚地說(shuō)明了他的工作:John Smith was an old porter。porter的意思的“(車(chē)站、碼頭) 的搬運(yùn)工人”,如果考生不認(rèn)識(shí)這個(gè)詞,也可以由He worked at the station. Every day he was busy carrying heavy things for the people.這兩句話了解他的工作性質(zhì)。因此第一個(gè)問(wèn)題的回答:John’s job was to carry heavy things for the people at station. / He was a porter.
第二個(gè)問(wèn)題是一個(gè)推理題,問(wèn)題:這名旅客要去哪里。由文中這句旅客的問(wèn)話Can I catch the 10:35 train to London?很容易推斷出他要去倫敦。
第三個(gè)問(wèn)題仍要求考生推理得出答案,問(wèn)題:為什么此人看上去很急的樣子朝火車(chē)趕去。很顯然是因?yàn)樗谮s火車(chē)。對(duì)why提問(wèn)要用because進(jìn)行回答,第三個(gè)問(wèn)題的回答是Because he wanted to catch the 10:35 train to London.
第四個(gè)問(wèn)題是推理題, 問(wèn)的是:這名旅客趕到火車(chē)站的時(shí)間。由下文John的回答The 10:35 train to London left five minutes ago可知火車(chē)已開(kāi)走,這名旅客趕到的時(shí)間是大約10: 40,因此第四題的回答是It was about10:40 (twenty to eleven) 。第五個(gè)問(wèn)題是歸納題, 考查考生對(duì)文章大意的理解。這個(gè)問(wèn)題的回答實(shí)際上就是全文的中心句, 在第一自然段里已做了介紹。He was careful with his work. He was kind to everyone and always ready to help others.
