It’s Pigs’ Hometown
The story happened during the Second World War. An old man lived in a small town of Germany. He had three sons and they all worked in the same factory where he had worked. After the war had begun, his sons were all made to join the army one after another and they all died in the fights. The old man was very sad. He didn’t have enough food and was often hungry. And nobody helped him and he didn’t know how to go on living.
It was a very cold winter night. The old man couldn’t go to sleep. He had been hungry for two days and it was so cold in his room that ice could be seen. He had to get up and began to run in the room until he lay down on the floor. The next morning he had to beg from door to door. He had been to a lot of cities and knew a lot.
Once he came to a village, but the villagers were all poor and couldn’t give him anything. He was too hungry to go to another village. He thought hard and found a way. He came to a police station and called out, “Hitler is a foolish pig!”
Out came an old policeman at once. He took the old man into a room, gave him some bread and a cup of tea. Then he said, “Don’t say so in our village, sir!”
“I’m sorry, sir,” said the old man. “I don’t know it’s Hitler’s home town.” “No, no, sir,” the policeman said in a hurry. “It’s pigs’ hometown!”

Liverpool came back with a fine attack.
Unfortunately Tarleston, their center forward, left the field in the 35th minute. He had hurt his ankle badly earlier, but had been playing in spite of his injury.
Bobby Good scored for Liverpool in the 40th minute. He had taken a pass from Biles, had run 40 yards and had beaten at least 3 Valencia defenders when Tores almost brought him down with a hard tackle(拥抱), Good got past him somehow, shot over the head of the goal-keeper and scored. Thus the match was over and the final result was one to one.

【答案与解析】本文继记叙了 Valencia 队与Livepool 队之间的一场精彩的足球比赛。
1. A。细节题。根据第1段 When Gomez scored the first goal 及最后一段 Good got past him somehow, shot over the head of the goal-keeper and scored. Thus the match was over… 可知此题答案为 A。
2. A。细节判断题。根据第3段 …left the field in the 35th minute. He had hurt his ankle badly earlier… 可判断出 Tarleston 在比赛进行不到35分钟时就受了伤，比较 A、B、C、D 四项可知答案只能是 A。
3. B。细节题。根据 …had beaten at least 3 Valencia defenders when Tores almost bought him down with a hard tackle, Good got past him somehow, shot… 可知 B 项说法是正确的；文章第1段第3句是说 Jimernez 差点就射了门，所以 A 项说法不正确；根据原文可知 Gomez 是 Valencia 队的，而 Bobby Good 是Livepool 队的，所以 C、D 两项说法是错误的。因此此题答案为 B。
4. B。细节判断题。根据…Gomez scored the first goal, and Jimernez had almost scored a minute before. Livepool came back with a fine attack. Unfortunately Tarleston…可知Gomez 和Jimernez 都不属于Livepool 队，即他们属于Volencia 队。而Tarleston 属于Livepool 队。再根据最后一段 Bobby Good scored for Livepool in the 40th minute. He had taken a pass from Biles 可知 Bobby Good 和 Biles 属于 Livepool 队；再根据 …when Tores almost brought him down with a hard tackle, Good got past him somehow… 可知 Tores 属于 Volencia 队，由此可知答案为 B。(做此题时若能一边看文章一边画个草图，一定会有意想不到的效果。)
