法，是對過去情況的假設推理，不代表實際情況；固定詞組befitin意思是“適

合”。另外，還應注意與他同齡的男生的比較，即than這一比較詞。據(jù)上述分析，

將各選項代人，只有B項符合題意，因此本題選擇B。

50、Whydidhewanttotalktoher?

標準答案：A

知識點解析：綜合全文來看，首先說到有人敲門。迎進來那個老頭，他帶著一條

狗，說“打擾了”，沒有說具體的事情。進門后，就開始抽煙，咳嗽，最后竟然還是

廢話：M-lltellyouwhyTvecome.I...Ihopeyouwon'tbeoffendedbut,well...'he

beganandthenstopped.最后一句話只是善套和擺脫尷尬，老頭并沒有意圖。文章

也沒告訴我們。
