热考素材 名著选读 It was dark and windy and cold. After ten minutes we arrived at a big white house. The lights were on downstairs, and the house looked warm. I had no home because my mother and father died a long time ago and I had no brothers or sisters. This was my first job and I wanted to be happy in this house.

A man opened the door. He looked tired and there was no smile on his face.
"Hello, I'm Cathy Wilson," I began. "I'm very late, I know. It's because the weather is so bad."
"There's a tree down across the road," Nick said. "So Cathy left her car at the farm and we walked here."
Duncan Harvey looked at Nick. "You always want to help," he said coldly. "And you're always there at the right time, ready to help." His face was angry and I didn't understand why.
"The wind is very strong ..." I began.
"It doesn't matter," Nick said. He smiled at me and his eyes were very blue. "Goodbye, Cathy. Come and get your car tomorrow."
Duncan said nothing. I went into the house and he took me through into the kitchen.
"Mother, here's Cathy," he said.
Mrs Harvey sat near the window. "Hello, my dear," she said warmly.
"What a wind! Come and have something to eat." She stood up and walked slowly across the room. Her hair was white, and she had a stick because of her bad legs.
I sat down and began to eat.

凯茜驾车去邓肯家做她的第一份工作，有棵树挡住了路，后来在尼克的帮助下终于到了邓肯家，但是邓肯对尼克的态度不友好。凯茜跟尼克道别后进了厨房跟哈维太太见面。友善的老太太起身迎接凯茜并给她一些食物吃。
1. C 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“It was dark and windy and cold... The lights were on downstairs”可知，天已经黑了，有风而且寒冷，楼下的灯亮着，并且后文中还提到哈维太太坐在窗旁，没有睡觉。由此推断，该故事最有可能发生在晚上。
2. D 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“This was my first job and I wanted to be happy in this house.”可知，凯茜来到邓肯的家是因为她将在这里为这个家庭工作。
3. B 推理判断题。根据第五段中的 he said coldly 和His face was angry可知，邓肯对尼克说话的语气冷淡，后来又面露愠色，说明邓肯很不喜欢尼克。
4. A 推理判断题。根据倒数第二、三段中哈维太太所说的话和表现可知，哈维太太对凯茜很友善，给她提供一些食物，欢迎她的到来，充分说明她没有对凯茜的迟到生气。
5. D 信息排序题。通读全文内容可知，凯茜在去邓肯家的路上被一棵树挡住去路，因此她不得不把车停在农场里，然后和尼克一起步行去邓肯家。邓肯开门后，对尼克态度冷淡。尼克跟凯茜道别后，凯茜就进了房子，去厨房见哈维太太。最后凯茜吃了一些食物。
