【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。
