【参考答案及解析】

1.C推断题。

atatimeoflifewhenmostofusonlywantedtorelax和Hehadbeenalong-servingsailor这两点说明他已上了年纪。

2.D推断题。

第二段开头说他6点开门，报纸在这之前已送到，而且还可以catchtheearlytrade。

3.A推断题。

Bill通常4点会重新开店，而那天作者的表已过4点，Bill还没有离开的意思，所以他非常惊讶。

4.C细节题。

A项中gooff是爆发，产生很大声音；B项中dropofftosleep是不知不觉入睡；文章中倒数第二段最后一句话thisisdeadright中dead是“非常，完全”的意思，可见，Bill的clock没错。
