Answer 1

答案：B;D;C;B;D
解析：

1．B（推理判断题．根据短文第四段中Sometimes when Bill was ill，his elder brother had to send the newspapers．Once Bill's father had to help him．可以判断出，比尔生了重病就不能做兼职工作了．） 　　2．D（综合分析判断题．短文第四段叙述了比尔送报每月可收入70美元，他正在为上大学攒钱，他用其余的钱买磁带和衣服．短文尾段还叙述了他希望当一个优秀送报员得到奖赏去欧洲旅行等．因此可判断出，比尔的兼职工作使他能够得到当时所需要的许多东西．） 　　3．C（细节题．短文第三段中His customers thought he did a good job．Sometimes they gave him tips．说明，订户之所以给他小费是因为他工作得非常出色．） 　　4．B（推理判断题．短文第三段详细描述了比尔的兼职工作情况，当他起床时天依然很黑，在各种各样的天气组他都把报纸送到订户手里，订户认为他工作很出色并给他小费．因此，可推断出，订户喜欢为他们勤奋工作的人．） 　　5．D（细节题．根据短文最后一段中Perhaps Bill could win a prize for being a very good newspaper boy，he wanted to win a visit to Europe，but he would be happy if he won a new bike．可以看出，作为一个送报员，工作干得很出色就会得到参观某地或一辆自行车的奖赏．）
