試題分析：這篇短文是一個(gè)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(xué)，兩個(gè)人在Colin的家里聊了很長時(shí)間。他們想知道那時(shí)有幾點(diǎn)了，但碰巧Colin的表壞了，于是Colin想到了一個(gè)能知道時(shí)間的好方法。

1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中開頭Colin is a twenty-year-old young man. Two years ago, when he finished middle school可知，Colin現(xiàn)在20歲了，兩年前從學(xué)校畢業(yè)，所以由此我們可知他畢業(yè)時(shí)是18歲，故選C。

2.推理判斷題。住在樓下的grandma 對Colin很滿意是因?yàn)樗�每天一回到家就睡覺，很安靜，不會打擾到她休息。其他選項(xiàng)均沒有在文中提到。故選C。

3.推理判斷題。根據(jù)文中they talked about the school life they spent together, their teachers, classmates and their future（未來）他們談?wù)摿怂麄円黄鸲冗^的學(xué)校生活、他們的老師、他們的同學(xué)以及他們的未來。由此我們可以判斷Colin 和Nancy是同學(xué)關(guān)系。故選A。

4.詞意猜測題。stamp 做名詞時(shí)是郵票的意思，但此處的stamp顯然是一個(gè)動詞。根據(jù)文中“Bang! Bang! Bang!”發(fā)出的聲音我們可以推斷stamp應(yīng)該是跺腳的意思，因?yàn)檫@樣發(fā)出的聲音才會吵醒在樓下的grandma。故選D。

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(xiàn)在的時(shí)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(diǎn)了，Colin，你怎么還在樓上跳啊？故選C。

考點(diǎn)：故事類短文閱讀。
