高二英语短对话中等难度题查看答案及解析

Two weeks ago, Ray Johnstone, an elderly man living alone in South Australia, posted a classified advertisement in search of a friend. Specifically, he was on the hunt for a fishing partner, as he no longer had anyone to share his hobby with. “I’m a widowed retired man who is looking for a fishing mate,” he wrote on Gumtree, “My fishing mate is now deceased. He will never accompany me to go fishing. I am a land-based fisherman. I have all the gear for all types of fish that is required for land-based fishing.”

Like all of us, 22-year-old Mati Batsinilas was touched by the man’s advertisement, so he reached out to him and arranged an outing. Rather than simply spend the day with Johnstone somewhere local, however, he and his family offered to take him on an all-inclusive weekend fishing trip of Stradbroke Island in Queensland. And, as expected, they had a good time. “While on the island we covered four-wheel driving, site-seeing, fishing, swimming, chats with the locals and the best of all... just relaxing and chatting like mates,” Batsinilas wrote in a Facebook post. “Once you reach a level of maturity in life, age should only be a number. My respect for Johostone is obviously very high, but I treated him exactly the way I would have treated one of my 22-year-old mates.”

Fortunately, it sounds like Johnstone won't have to place more classified advertisements any time soon. In addition to finding a friend, the pensioner has become a star on the Internet, with many social media users voicing their interests in meeting the now-famous fisherman.

1.What was the aim of Ray Johnstone’s posting a classified advertisement?

A. He wanted to sell all his tools.

B. He wanted to show off his excellent fishing skills.

C. He wanted to find a friend to go fishing with.

D. He wanted to find a friend to sell all his caught fish.

2.What does the underlined word “deceased” in the first paragraph mean?

A. ill　　 B. unfriendly

C. angry　　 D. dead

3.What was Mati Batsinilas’ attitude towards Ray Johnstone?

A. He thought Johnstone was too old to go fishing with.

B. He treated Johnstone like a senior citizen and took him to travel.

C. He thought his father would make friends with Johnstone.

D. He treated the old man as a friend of the same age.

4.What will happen after Ray Johnstone posted the classified advertisement?

A. There will be no advertisements for friends-hunting on the internet.

B. More people will go online to read his latest information.

C. More people will come to make friends with Ray Johnstone.

D. Ray Johnstone will regret what he did on the Internet and move away.
