填空题

Mr. Baker liked shooting very much but he was never good at it. A month ago some of his friends visited him in his house and saw a new target (靶子) which Baker had put several days before in his garden.
His friends went nearer and looked at this beautiful target. There was a hole right in the middle of the target. When they asked who had shot the target, Baker said he had. They all laughed and said, "How far away were you, Baker? Two feet?" But Baker said he was fifty yards (码) away.
Then Mr. Baker's wife explained about the hole in the middle. She said, "Baker went to a shop and bought a very big piece of wood. He brought it home in a car, put it in the garden and shot at it from fifty yards away. Then he drew a target round the hole and cut the wood."

单选题 One day some of Baker's friends saw ______ in his garden.

单选题 Why did Baker's friends laugh? Because ______ . [A] they didn't believe that Baker could shoot the target in the middle [B] Baker shot the target only two feet away [C] Baker shot the target right in the middle

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[解析] 短文开头已提到Baker不善射击，当他的朋友们听说是他射的后问：“你在哪里射的，Baker?两英尺外吗?”显然是不相信他。

单选题 What did Baker do after he shot at the wood from fifty yards away?

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[解析] 第三段Baker的妻子已经说明，他在木板上射了一个洞之后，绕着洞做了一个靶子。

单选题 Baker was ______ .

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[解析] Baker不善射击短文开头就有交待，因此B正确；A说Baker善于射击，与原文矛盾；C说Baker对画画感兴趣显然不对。
