F篇

通读全文, 故事讲述的是车站搬运工John Smith有一天在火车站同一名旅客间的一段对话，故事很幽默。

第一个问题是一个细节题，第1段清楚地说明了他的工作：John Smith as an old porter。porter的意思的“(车站、码头) 的搬运工人”，如果考生不认识这个词，也可以由He orked at the station. Every day he as busy carrying heavy things for the people.这两句话了解他的工作性质。因此第一个问题的回答：John’s job as to carry heavy things for the people at station. / He as a porter.

第二个问题是一个推理题，问题:这名旅客要去哪里。由文中这句旅客的问话Can I catch the 10:35 train to London?很容易推断出他要去伦敦。

第三个问题仍要求考生推理得出答案，问题：为什么此人看上去很急的样子朝火车赶去。很显然是因为他在赶火车。对hy提问要用because进行回答，第三个问题的回答是Because he anted to catch the 10:35 train to London.

第四个问题是推理题, 问的是：这名旅客赶到火车站的时间。由下文John的回答The 10:35 train to London left five minutes ago可知火车已开走，这名旅客赶到的时间是大约10: 40，因此第四题的回答是It as about10：40 (tenty to eleven) 。第五个问题是归纳题, 考查考生对文章大意的理解。这个问题的回答实际上就是全文的中心句, 在第一自然段里已做了介绍。He as careful ith his ork. He as kind to everyone and alays ready to help others.
