B. Choose the best answer and complete the passage.
I had a lot of fun on Christmas Day this year. A few days before Christmas Day, I sat in front of the fire and wrote a to Father Christmas, telling him about all the presents I hoped for. Then I posted it at “Father Christmas, the North Pole(北极)”.
On Christmas Eve, all the family members worked together to for the coming of New Year. Mum cooked a wonderful dinner for us. After that, we put up the Christmas tree in the middle of the living room and decorated it with balloons and lights. I tried to stay awake during the night, but I was so sleepy that I fell asleep finally.
When I woke up, it was already Christmas morning. I couldn’t wait to open the stocking at the end of my bed. It was now full presents and sweets. My brother, David, and I went out into the garden to share our new presents with each other. We took out the toys, put on the funny paper hats and played games .
Both of us enjoyed and looked forward to the next Christmas Day.

C. Answer the questions.
Today was not a good day. Everything went wrong. First, I slept in and got up too late. When I went to the kitchen for breakfast, there was no porridge. I decided to bake some toast instead, but I burned it. I had to eat it anyway because there was no more bread. There was no juice, either. I just had a glass of water.
When I was almost at the bus stop, I remembered that I had forgotten my transportation card. 3.
I was late for school and the teacher told me to catch up on(弥补) the schoolwork I had missed at lunch break.
After lunch, it was time to give the teacher my homework. I put my hand into my bag to get it but it wasn't there. I had left it at home. I was in trouble again.
When I got home, I went to my room to catch up on my homework. Mum cooked fish for dinner. She knew I didn't like fish, but she thought it was good for her son. What a bad day it was! I hope tomorrow will be fine.

5. He didn't like/hated/disliked it.
6. Yes, I have. /No, I haven't.

【分析】
这是一道英语阅读理解题，解题思路为：先通读全文把握文章主旨（作者讲述自己糟糕的一天），再针对每个问题的类型逐一处理：反义疑问句需依据事实回答，细节题要定位原文对应信息，开放题需结合前文语境给出合理内容，最后确保答案与原文或要求匹配。
【解析】
1. 反义疑问句的回答依据事实，原文第一句明确提到“Today was not a good day”，事实是否定的，故用No, it wasn't.作答；
2. 细节题：定位原文早餐相关内容，作者烤了糊面包不得不吃，还喝了一杯水，故答案为Some (burned) toast and a glass of water；
3. 开放题：前文是到公交站时忘带交通卡，结合语境可写合理情节，如回家取卡错过公交等，符合要求即可；
4. 细节题：定位原文“the teacher told me to catch up on the schoolwork I had missed at lunch break”，直接提取答案；
5. 细节题：定位原文“She knew I didn't like fish”，可知作者不喜欢妈妈做的鱼；
6. 一般疑问句：根据自身实际经历回答即可，两种合理表述都可。
【答案】
1. No, it wasn't.
