单选题 Henry finds a job on a farm. He is the strongest and youngest. He eats more, sleeps more, but works less. He doesn't like to use his head, so he knows little. He has to do some unskilled(无需技能的) work. He always says he is tired and hopes to have a good rest. So he gets less money than others.
Winter is coming. The workers are getting ready for the next year. Only Henry does nothing. The farmer tells him to cut down some trees in the forest. The young man has to go there with a chair. He feels lonely in the forest and is afraid of the animals. So he looks around and shags loudly. Nobody knows what he's singing
After three days, Henry doesn't cut down any trees. The farmer feels strange. He wants to find out how the young man is working there. To his anger, Henry is sitting on the chair, cutting the tree.
"Why are you sitting here to cut the trees?" asks the farmer.
"Because I can't work if lying, sir?

单选题 Henry doesn't like to use his head, so ______.
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】细节题。答案信息对应于第一段第四句:He doesn't like to use his head, so he knows little(他不爱动脑,因此没有知识),其中的knows little就是[A]中的has little knowledge。
单选题 Henry gets less money because ______.
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】细节题。文章第一段第五、六两句交代了Henry工资不高的原因:He has to do some unskilled work. He always... have a good rest。四个选项中只有[B]与前一句一致,因而是正确答案。注意[A]、[D]在文中虽然都出现了,但它们不是他工资不高的直接原因。
单选题 Henry has to cut down the trees because ______.
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】推理判断题。文章第二段第三、四两句交代了Henry去砍树的起因:Only Henry does nothing.The farmer tells... in the forest。虽然文章没有直接说明Henry必须去砍树的原因,但由“他什么也不干”及前文对他的工作情况的说明可以推知是他干不了别的复杂工作,因此农场主才安排他去砍树,选[A]。
单选题 Henry is ______ to stay in the forest.
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】细节题。第二段第六句指出;He feels lonely in the forest and is afraid of the animals,即他在森林里很孤单、很害怕野兽,因此答案是[D]。
单选题 Henry hopes to ______.
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】推理判断题。文章最后两段对话指出Henry是坐在椅子上砍树,而他这样做的原因是因为躺着砍不了树。结合前文对Henry性格的描写完全可以推断出,如果躺着能砍树的话,他肯定会躺下的,也就是说,他希望躺着干活,故选[C]其余三项都无法由文意推知。
