九、阅读理解。(每小题2分,共20分)
(一)
Mrs Green is ill. She is in the People's Hospital. Mary's mother asks Mary to take a basket of apples to Mrs Green. But Mary doesn't know the way.
On the way, Mary sees an old man. The old man walks in front of her. She goes up and says, "Hi, old fellow ..." But the old man doesn't answer her and walks on. Mary gets puzzled (迷惑的). Suddenly she understands why. It is not polite(有礼貌的) to say "old fellow" to an old man. Then she goes to the old man again and asks, "Excuse me，Grandpa. Would you please tell me the way to the People's Hospital?" This time the old man answers, "Well, go along this street. Then，turn left. It's just behind the library."
Mary thanks the old man and walks on. Soon she finds the hospital.

【分析】
这是一篇记叙文类阅读理解，解题思路如下：首先通读短文，了解故事大意；然后针对每一道小题，提取题目中的关键信息，带着关键信息回到原文定位对应的句子，通过对比原文内容和选项，选出正确答案。比如第1题，抓住“Mrs Green”“hospital”这两个关键词，在原文开头就能找到对应信息；第5题，通过对比玛丽两次对老人的称呼及老人的反应，就能判断出礼貌的表达。
【解析】
1. 定位原文第一句“Mrs Green is ill. She is in the People's Hospital.”，可知格林夫人因为生病住院，所以选B。
2. 根据原文“Mary's mother asks Mary to take a basket of apples to Mrs Green.”，可知玛丽的妈妈想让玛丽给格林夫人送一篮苹果，所以选C。
3. 从玛丽对老人说的话“Would you please tell me the way to the People's Hospital?”可知，玛丽是向老人询问去医院的路，所以选B。
4. 原文提到医院“It's just behind the library.”（就在图书馆后面），由此可推知图书馆在医院的前面，所以选C。
5. 文中提到说“old fellow”不礼貌，而玛丽用“Excuse me，Grandpa.”称呼老人时，老人给出了回应，说明这个表达是礼貌的，所以选C。
