5.B 孩子一直在玩,而“我”一直在吼他。

15.D 孩子正在玩,没说什么,只是咯咯地笑。

Ⅲ.阅读理解
There's a man in the habit of hitting me on the head with an umbrella.At first I couldn't stand it;now I'm used to it.
I don't know his name.I know he's average in appearance,wears a gray suit,and has a common face.One hot morning,when I was sitting on a tree shaded bench in Palermo Park,reading the paper,suddenly I felt something touch my head.It was the very same man who now,as I'm writing,keeps striking me with an umbrella.
On that occasion I turned around filled with anger.He just kept on hitting me.I asked him if he was crazy.He didn't even seem to hear me.Then I threatened to call a policeman.Calmly,cool as a cucumber,he stuck with his task.After a few moments of hesitation,and seeing that he was not about to change his attitude,I stood up and hit him on the nose.The man fell down.But he immediately got back on his feet,obviously with great effort,and without a word again began hitting me on the head with the umbrella.His nose was bleeding and,at that moment,I felt sorry for him.I felt regret for having hit him so hard.After all,the man wasn't exactly hitting me;he was merely tapping me lightly with his umbrella,not causing any pain at all.Of course,those taps were extremely bothersome.As we all know,when a fly lands on your forehead,you don't feel any pain;what you feel is annoyance.Well then,that umbrella was one huge fly that kept landing on my head time after time.
Convinced that I was dealing with a madman,I tried to escape.But the man followed me,wordlessly continuing to hit me.So I began to run(I should point out many people run as fast as I do).He took off after me,trying to land a blow.The man was out of breath so that I thought,if I continued to force him to run at that speed,he would drop dead right then and there.
1.When the man began to strike the author with an umbrella,the author________.
A.became angry
B.called the police
C.turned around and escaped
D.turned around and fought back
答案与解析:A 文章第三段开始时提到有人用伞打我,我很生气地转身。
2.The author would most probably agree that the man was
________.
A.deaf B.blind
C.dead D.mad
答案与解析:D 文章最后一段第一句话可知:“因为证实我在和一个疯子打交道,因此我开始逃”。文章没有提到聋、瞎、死等词。
3.The author felt sorry for the man because________.
A.the man formed a bad habit of beating others
B.he hit the man so hard that his nose bled
C.the man couldn't catch up with him
D.there was a fly on the man's head
答案与解析:B 作者感到内疚是在第三段出现的,作者起身打那人的鼻子,他跌倒后也不说话,站起来接着打作者,作者看到他鼻子流血而感到抱歉,后悔自己太用劲了。
4.It can be learned from the passage that the man ________.
A.shouted loudly while hitting the author
B.wanted to tell the author something
C.ran after the anthor breathlessly
D.acted as if he were a fly
答案与解析:C 本题可用排除法。从第二段和最后一段的wordlessly都可看出打人时没有出声,故A项排项。第三段可看出无论作者怎么问那人,那人没有任何反应,只是不断地用伞击作者的头,故排除B项。作者在第三段拿苍蝇比喻“招人烦”,而没说那人的行为像苍蝇。C项的答案在最后一句话可找到,那人跑的上气不接下气,以至于作者担心他会突然倒地而死。
