Passage 2
Colin is a twenty-year-old young man. Two years ago, when he finished middle school, he got a job in a store. Usually he works until ten o’clock in the evening. He is very tired when he gets home. After a quick supper he goes to bed and soon falls asleep. His grandma who lives downstairs is satisfied（满意） with him.
One day, on his way home, he met Nancy. They were both happy. He asked the girl to his house. She agreed happily. He bought some fruit and drinks for her. And they talked about the school life they spent together, their teachers, classmates and their future（未来）. They talked for a long time.
“Have a look at your watch, please,” said the girl. “What time is it now?”
“Sorry, something is wrong with my watch,” said Colin. “Where’s yours?”
“I left it at home.”
Colin thought for a moment and found a way. He began to stamp his foot on the floor, “Bang! Bang! Bang!”
The sound woke his grandma up. The old woman shouted downstairs, “It’s twelve o’clock in the night, Colin. Why are you still jumping upstairs?”

(答案→)C 解析：这篇短文是一个小故事。说的是Colin每天工作到很晚回家睡觉，住在楼下的grandma对他很满意。但有一次Colin遇到了他的老同学，两个人在Colin的家里聊了很长时间。他们想知道那时有几点了，但碰巧Colin的表坏了，于是Colin想到了一个能知道时间的好方法。【小题1】细节理解题。根据文中开头Colin is a twenty-year-old young man. Two years ago, when he finished middle school可知，Colin现在20岁了，两年前从学校毕业，所以由此我们可知他毕业时是18岁，故选C。【小题2】推理判断题。住在楼下的grandma 对Colin很满意是因为他每天一回到家就睡觉，很安静，不会打扰到她休息。其他选项均没有在文中提到。故选C。【小题3】推理判断题。根据文中they talked about the school life they spent together, their teachers, classmates and their future（未来）他们谈论了他们一起度过的学校生活、他们的老师、他们的同学以及他们的未来。由此我们可以判断Colin 和Nancy是同学关系。故选A。【小题4】词意猜测题。stamp 做名词时是邮票的意思，但此处的stamp显然是一个动词。根据文中“Bang! Bang! Bang!”发出的声音我们可以推断stamp应该是跺脚的意思，因为这样发出的声音才会吵醒在楼下的grandma。故选D。【小题5】推理判断题。Colin故意大声的跺脚，吵醒在楼下睡觉的grandma，他的目的就是让grandma 生气，告诉他们现在的时间。Grandma 最后说“It’s twelve o’clock in the night, Colin. Why are you still jumping upstairs?”都晚上12点了，Colin，你怎么还在楼上跳啊？故选C。
