Question

閱讀理解 　　There was one thing that I found rather strange on my first day to work at Monk’s House．The floors in the house were very thin．The bathroom was directly above the kitchen, and when Mrs．Wolf was having her bath before breakfast, I could hear her talking to herself．On and on she went, talked, talked, talked, asking questions and giving herself the answers．I thought there must have been two or three people up there with her．Later Mrs．Woolf explained that Mrs．Woolf always said the sentences out loud what she had written during the night．She needed to know if they sounded right and the bath was a place for trying them out． 　　I was not allowed to make coffee at Monk’s House－Mr．and Mrs．Woolf came into the kitchen at eight o’clock every morning to make it．When we carried the breakfast trays to Mrs．Woolf’s room I noticed that there were pencils and paper beside her bed so that when she woke up she could work, and sometimes it seemed as though she had had very little sleep． 　　Mrs．Woolf’s bedroom was outside the house in the garden．I used to think how inconvenient it must be to have to go out in the rain to go to bed．Her bedroom had been added on to the back of the house; the door faced the garden and a window at the side opened out on to a field．Because the writing room was small．Mr．Woolf had had a large one built for her at the end of the garden against the church wall． 　　I can always remember her coming out of her writing room only for lunch each day．She used to walk down through the thin and very graceful, with large, deep set eyes．She wore long skirts in the fashion of the day, any silk jackets of the same color, which suited her well．I pressed her clothes and did any sewing that was necessary． 　　Her cigarettes were made from a special tobacco called My Mixture．Mr．Woolf bought it for her in London, and in the evenings, they used to sit by the fire and make these cigarettes themselves． (1) At the time of this passage, the writer might have been ________． [　　] A． a friend of Mrs．Woolf B． the assistant of Mr．Woolf C． a reporter who was writing about Mrs．Woolf’s life D． the housekeeper at Monk’s House (2) What was particularly unusual about Monk’s House?

解析：

(1)	本題是細節理解推斷題目。從文章第二段的“I was not allowed to make coffee at Monk's House”和“When we carried the breakfast trays to Mrs．Woolf's room…”和第四段的“I pressed her clothes and did any sewing that was necessary．”等可以看出“我”在這里是一個servant，所以D為正確答案。
(2)	本題是細節推斷題目。從第三段的“Mrs．Woolf's bedroom was outside the house in the garden．I used to think how inconvenient it must be to have…”可以推出Mrs．Woolf's臥室在房子外，這是我感到非常奇特的地方。
(3)	本題是綜合判斷題目。由第三段的“Mr．Woolf had had a larger one built for her at the end of the garden…”和最后一段“Mr．Woolf bought it for her in London,…they used to sit by the fire…”。可以知道，Woolf先生總是努力滿足Woolf婦人的要求。
