Question

Sam and Joe were astronauts. There was once a very dangerous trip and the more experienced(有經驗的) astronauts knew there was only a small chance of coming back alive. Sam and Joe, however, thought it would be exciting though a little dangerous. “We’re the best men for the job,” they said to the boss. “There may be problems, but we can find the answers.” “They’re the last people I’d trust(信任),” thought the boss. “But all the other astronauts have refused(拒絕) to go.”

Once they were in space, Joe had to go outside to make some repairs(維修). When the repairs were done, he tried to get back inside the spaceship. But the door was locked. He knocked but there was no answer. He knocked again, louder this time, and again no answer came. Then he hit the door as hard as he could and finally a voice said, “Who’s there?” “It’s me! Who else could it be?” shouted Joe. Sam let him in all right but you can imagine that Joe never asked to go on a trip with Sam again!

【解析】

試題分析：這篇短文主要介紹了山姆和喬在別人認為任務非常危險的時候，爭取了這個飛行的任務，在飛行中喬到艙外維修，回來時敲門山姆還問他你是誰。

1.推理判斷題。根據短文第一段There was once a very dangerous trip and the more experienced(有經驗的) astronauts knew there was only a small chance of coming back alive描述，有經驗的宇航員知道這次的飛行生還的機會非常小，所以大部分人不想去，故選C.

2.一段We’re the best men for the job,” they said to the boss. “There may be problems, but we can find the answers.”和“But all the other astronauts have refused(拒絕) to go.”描述，山姆和喬向老板請求任務，其他的人都拒絕飛行，故選D

3.二段描述可知，喬敲門山姆還問你是誰，可知作者想表現宇航員的有趣的一面，故選B

4.是非判斷題。根據第一段“They’re the last people I’d trust(信任),” thought the boss. “But all the other astronauts have refused(拒絕) to go.”可知他們在老板的眼中不一定是最好的，因為其他人都拒絕了這個任務。

考點：故事類短文閱讀。
