Ⅴ.阅读理解
I have a horror of what they call the “London particular〞．I feel miserable and muggy all through a dirty day，and it is quite a relief to pull one’s clothes off and get into bed，out of the way of it all.Everything goes wrong in wet weather.And then，too，somehow I always find myself carrying more things in wet weather than in dry；and when you have a bag，and three parcels and a newspaper，and it suddenly comes on to rain，you can’t open your umbrella.
They don’t give you time to open or shut your umbrella in an English April，especially if it is an “automation〞．
I bought an “automation〞 in April，and I did have a time with it！I wanted an umbrella，and I went into a shop in the Strand and told them so，and they said，“Yes，sir.What sort of an umbrella would you like？〞
I said I should like one that would keep the rain off，and that would not allow itself to be left behind in a railway carriage.
“Try an ‘automation’，〞said the shopman.
“What’s an ‘automation’？〞 said I.
“Oh，it’s a beautiful arrangement，〞 replied the man，with a touch of enthusiasm.“It opens and shuts itself.〞
I bought one and found that he was quite correct.It did open and shut itself.I had no control over it whatever.When it began to rain，which it did that season every five minutes，I used to try and get the machine to open，but it would not move；and then I used to stand and struggle with the wretched thing，and shake it，and swear at it，while the rain poured down in torrents (激流)．Then the moment the rain stopped the silly thing would go up suddenly and would not come down again；and I had to walk about under a bright blue sky，with an umbrella over my head，wishing that it would come on to rain again，so that it might not seem that I was a fool.
When it did shut it did so unexpectedly and knocked one’s hat off.
1．What is the main idea of the first paragraph?
A．Being tired of a life in London.
B．To go to bed is the best way to avoid the bad weather in London.
C．Complaining about the bad weather in London.
D．It rains suddenly and often in London.
2．The underlined word “it〞 in the second paragraph refers to________.
A．April B．umbrella
C．time D．rain
3．Why did the writer think he appeared to be a fool?
A．Because he didn’t use an umb rella properly.
B．Because he didn’t open or shut an umbrella.
C．Because he held an umbrella on a sunny day just after rain.
D．Because he was cheated by the shopman.
4．What did the writer intend to tell readers in this passage?
A．Telling them his funny expe rience with an “automation〞 in London.
B．Describing the bad weather in London.
C．Criticizing modern technology.
D．The quality of umbrellas should be improved.
5．Why did the umbrella knocked one’s hat off when it closed?
A．It already went wrong before.
B．It should have closed earlier.
C．It closed too quickly.
D．No one had thought it would close.
This(That) is because...这是(那是)因为……
1．He came late.This was because he got up late.
他来晚了，这是因为他起晚了。

2．He did not come.That was because he was ill.
他没来。

那是因为他病了。
