Question

Dear Earthmen(地球人)，
I enjoy my stay on your interesting planet(星球).
I think I know the life on Earth now and I would like to tell you my ideas.
First of all you live in boxes. Every morning you leave your boxes and get into smaller boxes on wheels(輪子). All these small boxes run around and around, and finally stop to rest. You leave these boxes on wheels and go to very large tall boxes.
After resting all day, you get back in your little boxes. There you sit and look at very small glowing boxes with moving pictures in them.
There is only one thing I don’t know. Some angry boys fought for a little round (圓的) ball. Everyone shouted(大聲喊) but they kept fighting. They were angry, because they had to stay in boxes all day, I think.
Thank you for this chance(機會) to get to know you.
Yours,
The man from Mars(火星)

Answer 1

【小題1】C
【小題2】C
【小題3】A
【小題4】B

解析【小題1】本文提到4種boxes，分別為人們住的地方，人們工作的高樓大廈，人們所做的交通工具，人們所看的電視，這些事物在外星人看來都好像盒子一樣，故本題選C。
【小題2】在上班的過程中坐帶有輪子的盒子指的應該是我們坐的車子，故本題選C。
【小題3】看到帶有會動的圖片，是電視的盒子，電視應該是能發光的，故glowing是發光的意思更符合文意，故本題選A。
【小題4】本文主要是介紹4中盒子，這四種盒子恰好是地球人通常的生活習性，所以本文的主要內容是外星人告訴地球人地球是怎樣的生活，故本題選B。
