分析 史密斯先生是个爱喝酒的人,因为喝酒问题差点被解雇.在承诺不喝酒后,又因为喝酒用熨斗烫伤了耳朵,很能被老板推断出他又喝了酒的事实.所以他可能面临被解雇的结局.
解答 66.B 细节理解题,根据But he couldn't work when he drank too much.And once he almost fell into the river可知但是史密斯先生喝太多酒有一次他差点掉进河里.故答案为:B.
67.D 细节理解题,根据I went to watch a football match yesterday和上文One Monday morning Mr Smith came into the office可知时间是星期日,故答案为:D.
68.A 理解推断题,根据短文后半部分对史密斯两只耳朵受伤原因的表述,可知他肯定是又喝了酒,正常人是不会犯下那样的错误的,故答案为:A.
69.C 理解推断题,根据"When I put the iron down the table,the telephone rang again!"可知知道史密斯先生把烙铁当作了电话,此处指这个电熨斗,为单数,故答案为:C.
70.D 理解推断题,阅读短文我们知道前面史密斯已经承诺不再喝酒,从他耳朵烫伤这件事,布莱克先生很容易推断出他又喝了酒.从四个选项的描述上来看,他被解雇的可能性最大,故答案为:D.
