Answer 1

小題1:C
小題2:B
小題3:C
小題4:D

試題分析：
小題1:根據本文的第二句He always forgot a lot of things.，意思為他總是忘記許多事情，所以說文中的老人應該是一個健忘的人，forgetful表示此意，故本題選C。
小題2:根據第二段第三行這一句He went to the station, bought a ticket and go on the train with it. 可知老人是買了火車票之后才上了火車，也就是說老人在上了火車之前買了火車票，before表示在……之前的意思，故本題選B。
小題3:老人在火車上找不到火車票，根據本文倒數第二句“I believe you bought a ticket. All right  , you don’t have buy another one” said the conductor kindly. 可知售票員是相信老人買了票，故本題選C。
小題4:根據本文的最后一句可知老人難過的愿因是老人不知道去哪里，是想不起來火車站的名稱，也就是說他不知道到哪里下火車站，故本題更符合文章含義的是D項，故選D。
點評：本文主要介紹了一個非常健忘的老人，買了火車票，上了火車，卻不知道火車票到哪里去了，最后找不到火車票，也不知道自己應該在哪里下車。閱讀本文應根據上下文仔細推敲老人忘記火車票的原因以及最后難過的真正原因。尤其注意的是老人最終難過的原因不是沒有火車票，而是不知道自己在哪里下車。
