阅读理解I arrived at the bus station much too early for the London bus, which was not to leave until five to twelve. I pushed through the crowds, looking for somewhere to sit down. Scores of people were standing about, or struggling along with their bags and the cases to find the right lines. There was a party of school girls. I could see teachers trying to keep them in order. But there was nowhere for me to sit. I stepped into the station buffet. I looked up at the clock there. It was only twenty to twelve. I found a seat opposite a large mirror on the wall. Just then a friend of mine called Jim came in and sat with me. What time is your bus? asked Jim. Oh, there's a plenty of time yet, I answered. Oh, I'll get some drinks then, said Jim. We talked while drinking. Then I looked at the clock again. Good heavens! It's going backward! I cried. A moment ago it was twenty to twelve and now it's half past eleven. You are looking at the clock in the mirror, said Jim. I could kick myself for being so stupid. I had not realized that the marks for one and eleven on the face of the clock were the same. The next bus was not to leave for another hour.

CBAB解析文章讲述了我在火车站等待火车的时候，因为错看了镜子里的时间而错过了火车的小故事。1.C 推理题。根据文章第一段I pushed through the crowds 和But there was nowhere for me to sit. 可知在火车站里人非常多，我找不到坐的地方，所以我才走进饮食柜台，故C正确。2.B 细节题。根据第二段第2行I found a seat opposite a large mirror on the wall.说明我坐在了镜子对面的一个位置上，是面对着镜子，故B正确。3.A 细节题。根据第二段6,7行A moment ago it was twenty to twelve and now it's half past eleven. You are looking at the clock in the mirror, said Jim.说明A正确。4.B 推理题。根据第二段6.7行A moment ago it was twenty to twelve and now it's half past eleven. You are looking at the clock in the mirror, said Jim说明镜子里现在的时间是11点30，而镜子是反射对面墙上的时钟的，时钟上的真实时间是12点30，故B正确。考点：考查推理题性小短文点评：本类短文要注意细节和推理相结合，阅读时要注意文章的中心思想和细节。
