填空题 {{B}}第三节 短文理解 2{{/B}}
阅读下列短文，从[A] 、[B] 、[C] 三个选项中选择一个正确答案。
A Frenchman went to stay at the best hotel in a small Italian town with his wife One night, he went out for a walk alone. The small street was dark and quiet. Suddenly he felt someone behind him. He turned his head and saw an Italian young man who quickly walked past him. The man was nearly out of sight when the Frenchman suddenly found that his watch was gone. He thought that it must be the Italian who had taken his watch. He decided to follow him and get back the watch.
Soon the Frenchman caught up with the Italian. Neither of them understood the other's language. The French man {{U}}frightened{{/U}} the Italian with his fist(拳头) and pointed at the Italian's watch. In the end the Italian took off his watch and gave it to the Frenchman.
When he returned to the hotel, the Frenchman told his wife what had happened. He was greatly surprised when his wife pointed to the watch on the table. Now he realized(意识到) that by mistake he had robbed(抢劫) the watch and it was the Italian's.
单选题 One night the Frenchman want out for a walk ______.
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】细节题。第一段第二句指出：One night，he went out for a walk alone(一天晚上，他独自出去散步)，其中的alone就是[A)项中的by himself。
单选题 Why did the Frenchman decide to follow the young man? [A] Because the young man walked so fast. [B] Because he wanted to catch the young man. [C] Because he wanted to frighten the young man.
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】分析推理题。第一段最后三句话指出，这位法国人发现自己的手表不见了，他认为一定是那个刚刚走过去的意大利人偷走了，于是他决定跟着那个人，拿回手表。由常识可知，他得追上并抓住那个意大利人才能拿回手表，因此本题答案是[B] 。
单选题 The underlined word "frightened" in the passage means ______.
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】词义推测题。由该词后面出现的with his fist及常识可知法国人是用拳头恐吓那名意大利人，因此frighten应当与terrify一词同义。threat指用言语“威胁”，而surprise指“使惊讶”，都不如[B] 恰当。
单选题 Why did the Italian take off his watch and give it to the Frenchman? [A] Because he had taken the watch from the Frenchman. [B] Because he had picked up the watch on his way from work. [C] Because he was afraid of the Frenchman.
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】分析推理题。第二段描述了那位法国人追上意大利人、要回手表的过程。由该段第三、第四句的意思及常识可以推知，那位意大利人是在法国人的恐吓之下才把手表拿出采，他那样做当然是害怕那位法国人，故答案是[C] 。
单选题 Who was robbed in the story?
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】细节题。答案信息对应于短文最后一句：...he had robbed the watch and it was the Italian's，即手表是意大利人的，法国人把手表当成自己的，从对方手里抢过来了，因此真正被抢的是那个意大利人。
