One day Cook’s son broke(折断) his right leg, and Cook took him to the doctor. The doctor’s sister is Smith’s wife. The farmer isn’t married(结婚). He has a lot of good hens.

答案:
(答案→)C
解析:这篇短文中作者主要这是一篇推理性文章,要求根据所给出提示,猜出各自的职业。
【小题1】细节理解题。由于警察每天除看到 Smith 外,还看到 Miller,所以 Miller 不是警察。既然他不是警察,而且Smith 是木匠,Carter 是 farmer,故选C。
【小题2】细节理解题。根据短文Miller always buys eggs from the farmer(Miller经常从农民那儿买蛋)可知Miller不是农民,那么Miller只可能是doctor;故选A。
【小题3】细节理解题。由The doctors sister is Smiths wife.(医生的姐姐是Smith的妻子=医生不是Smith)The farmer isn married.(农民没有结婚=农民不是Smith,因为Smith有妻子)The policeman sees Smith every day.(警察天天看到Smith=警察不是Smith)此三句话可以确定carpenter是Smith;故选B。
【小题4】细节理解题。根据The policeman sees Smith every day because they are neighbors(邻居).因为Cook肯定不是医生(他带儿子去看医生,自己当然不是医生啦),不是carpenter,更不会是农民(因为农民没结婚,而Cook有儿子),所以Cook是警察,由此可见史密斯的邻居是Cook;故选D。
【小题5】细节理解题。因为Cook肯定不是医生(他带儿子去看医生,自己当然不是医生啦),不是carpenter,更不会是农民(因为农民没结婚,而Cook有儿子),所以Cook是警察;故选A。
