A.allowsapassengertotraveltoaplace

B.onebuyswhenonereturns

C.mustbereturnedifonewantstogethismoneyback

D.allowsapassengertotraveltoaplaceandreturnlater

答案為Do本題是詞匯理解題。文章第二段的第一句中“returnticket”的意思為“往返車票。

選項D是對該詞語的正確解釋。

2.Themaninthebookingofficementionedthechild'sticketinorderto.

A.sendthewomanaway

B.getback￡15.50

C.saysorrytothewoman

D.makecleartheimportanceofthelaw

答案為A。本題是分析推理題。售票員誤售了車票，而女乘客沒有買車票，于是該售票員有

了打發(fā)該乘客的借口，選項A中的“send…away”的意思為“打發(fā)、驅逐”。

3.Accordingtotherailwaylaw,achild.

A.musthaveaticketjustlikeagrown-up

B.cannottravelwithoutaticket

C.belowtheageoffourcantravelwithoutaticket

D.cantravelwithgrown-upswithoutaticket

答案為C。本題是事實細節(jié)題。文章第九段中售票員解釋說，根據該國火車乘坐規(guī)則，4歲

以下的兒童無需買票。

4.Atlastthewomangotfromtherailwaybookingoffice.

A.￡15.50

B.￡1.50

C.￡14

D.nothing

答案為Do本題是分析推理題。從文章第九段第二句得知：售票員說該乘客要想得到14英

鎊的房費，則須先補交15.5英鎊的車票錢。又可根據售票員的話推斷，由于他錯售了車票,

他不會追究補票錢，而乘客也拿不到房費。

5.Accordingtothepassage,whichofthefollowingstatementsisTRUE?

A.AftercheckingthetimetableTonyfoundtherewasashipfromJerseyonJune26th.

B.Tonysaidsorrytothewomanandpaidher￡14.

C.ThewomandidnottravelatalltoJerseywithherdaughtertospendherholiday.

D.Itwasclearthatthewomanwasnothonest.

答案為Do本題是是非判斷題。選項A、B、C中都存在細節(jié)與文章不符合的地方。選項D

則是對全章的推理判斷，該乘客沒有主動自覺買兒童票，從而推導出她不是一個誠實的人。
