阅读理解 Some time ago, I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended , as there are a whole lot of antique (古董) shops near my home . So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception. I was quite wrong. The man wouldn’t even look at my chair.
The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and, the fourth-so I decided that my approach must be wrong.
I went into the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, “Would you like to buy a chair?” He looked it over carefully and said, “Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?” “Twenty pounds,” I said. “OK,” he said, “I’ll give you twenty pounds.” “It’s got a slightly broken leg,” I said. “Yes I saw that, it’s nothing.”
Everything was going according to plan and I was getting excited. “What will you do with it?” I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done.” “I’ll buy it,” I said. “What do you mean? You’ve just sold it to me,” he said. “Yes, I know but I’ve changed my mind. I’m sorry. I’ll give you twenty-seven pounds for it.” “You must be crazy,” he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair.” “You’re right,” I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, ‘Would you mend this chair for me’?” “I wouldn’t have agreed to do it,” he said. “We don’t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I’ll mend this for you, shall we say for a five?” He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing1.We can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer A.was rather impoliteB.was warmly receivedC.asked the shopkeeper to buy his chairD.asked the shopkeeper to repair his chair2.The expression “the penny dropped” in the last paragraph means the shopkeeper A.changed his mindB.saw the writer’s purposeC.accepted the offerD.decided to help the writer3.How much did the writer pay?A.£5B.£7C.£20D.£274.From the text, we can learn that the writer was A.smartB.carefulC.honestD.funny

DBAA解析试题分析：
1.细节题。由第一段及第三段：不久前，作者发现他的一个椅子有一条腿坏掉了，因为在他家附近有很多古董店，作者认为修好这个椅子并不困难，因此，一天早上，作者带着这个椅子去修理，他进入第一家店子的时候，希望得到一个友好的接待，但是，他错了，店主根本都没看一下的椅子，最后一段作者改变了方法，询问店主是否购买它的椅子。可知，作者进入第一个店子是叫店主修理他的椅子。故选D
2.推断题。第四段Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair.”。根据上下文，第五个店主知道了作者的目的是想让他去修理这个坏椅子。可知，suddenly the penny dropped的意思是店主知道了作者的意图。故选B
3.细节题。第三段I’ll give you twenty pounds。可知，店主花了20英镑买下了这个坏椅子。最后一段， I’ll mend this for you, shall we say for a five?知，店主将会为作者修理这个椅子，并且收费5英镑。故
