After a quick supper he goes to bed and soon falls asleep. His grandma who lives downstairs is satisfied（滿意） with him.

“Have a look at your watch, please,” said the girl. “What time is it now?”

試題分析：這篇短文是一個小故事。說的是Colin每天工作到很晚回家睡覺，住在樓下的grandma對他很滿意。但有一次Colin遇到了他的老同學，兩個人在Colin的家里聊了很長時間。他們想知道那時有幾點了，但碰巧Colin的表壞了，于是Colin想到了一個能知道時間的好方法。
小題1:細節理解題。根據文中開頭Colin is a twenty-year-old young man. Two years ago, when he finished middle school可知，Colin現在20歲了，兩年前從學校畢業，所以由此我們可知他畢業時是18歲，故選C。
小題2:推理判斷題。住在樓下的grandma 對Colin很滿意是因為他每天一回到家就睡覺，很安靜，不會打擾到她休息。其他選項均沒有在文中提到。故選C。
小題3:推理判斷題。根據文中they talked about the school life they spent together, their teachers, classmates and their future（未來）他們談論了他們一起度過的學校生活、他們的老師、他們的同學以及他們的未來。由此我們可以判斷Colin 和Nancy是同學關系。故選A。
小題4:詞意猜測題。stamp 做名詞時是郵票的意思，但此處的stamp顯然是一個動詞。根據文中“Bang! Bang! Bang!”發出的聲音我們可以推斷stamp應該是跺腳的意思，因為這樣發出的聲音才會吵醒在樓下的grandma。故選D。
小題5:推理判斷題。Colin故意大聲的跺腳，吵醒在樓下睡覺的grandma，他的目的就是讓grandma 生氣，告訴他們現在的時間。Grandma 最后說“It’s twelve o’clock in the night, Colin. Why are you still jumping upstairs?”都晚上12點了，Colin，你怎么還在樓上跳啊？故選C。
