Answer 1

小题1:A 小题1:C 小题1:B 小题1:A 小题1:C

小题1:根据文中第一句话“A young man was walking through a supermarket to pick up a few things…”可知这位年轻人去买东西。故选A。 小题1:从第二段的第一句话“Finally, he went to the check-out line, but the old lady got in front of him.”可得知选C。 小题1:根据倒数第二段的内容，那位女士在收银台让这个年轻人给她叫母亲，离开的时候没有付款，而是让年轻人替他付款，让收银员误认为她真是他的母亲。所以这位女士不是一个诚实的人，故选B。 小题1:通过倒数第二段中“he saw that his total was $127. 50. "How can that be?" he asked, "I only buy a few things!"”可知这个年轻人很惊讶，超出了他的预料。故选A。 小题1:通过文中最后一句话“The clerk replied, "Your mother said that you would pay for her. "”可知这位年轻人也要为那位女士付钱，那位女士什么都没付。故选C。
