Question

Mr. Brown’s house was less than two miles from his office, so he could drive home every day for lunch. Every time he drove home at noon, he found many cars outside his house and there was no room for his own car. He had to drive somewhere else to park his car. Then he walked back home. This made him very angry.
He put up a board in the garden facing the road. The board said, “No Parking”. But nobody noticed it. People seemed to obey only a police notice with white letters on a blue board:
Mrs. Brown asked his husband to steal a police notice but he was afraid to do so. Then she asked him to make one just like a police notice. Mr. Brown said he was not the police and couldn’t use the word “police”. Several days later, Mr. Brown made a blue board with white letters.

PLEASE NOTICE NO PARKING

“Oh!” Mrs. Brown said. “You told me you weren’t going to use the word ‘police’, but why do you use it now?” “Really?” he asked.
“Look again,” she started to laugh. “You are really clever”.

試題分析：短文大意：這篇短文中的布朗先生為自己門前停的許多車輛趕到生氣，因此做了一塊布告牌。但是沒能引起人們的注意，后來巧妙地借用了單詞police中的字母，來提醒人們注意。
小題1:細節理解題。根據第一段Mr. Brown’s house was less than two miles from his office, so he could drive home every day for  lunch. 描述，可知布朗的辦公室離家不遠。故選B。
小題2:細節理解題。根據Every time he drove home at noon, he found many cars outside his house and there was no room for his own car. He had to drive somewhere else to park his car.描述，可知布朗先生對于沒地方停車感到很生氣。故選A。
小題3:細節理解題。閱讀短文可知，布朗先生一共做了兩塊布告牌。一塊是用藍色字母寫的，一塊是用白色字母寫得。故選A。
小題4:細節理解題。根據Several days later, Mr. Brown made a blue board with white letters.

PLEASE NOTICE NO PARKING

描述，可知布朗先生的布告牌寫著：請注意，不準停車。D
小題5:推理判斷題。在布朗先生第二次做的布告牌中，他巧妙的借用了police這個單詞中的部分字母，足以引起人們的注意。可見在他房子前停車的人會越來越少。故選C。
