三、阅读理解
A 70-year-old man thought his wife had a hearing problem. But he was not quite sure about it. So he asked his family doctor for help. The doctor told the husband (丈夫) an easy way to find out exactly how bad her hearing was.
“Here’s what you do,” said the doctor. “Stand about 6 metres away from her, and ask her a question as usual. If she cannot hear, go to 3 metres, then 2 metres, and so on until you get a response.”
That evening, the wife was in the kitchen cooking dinner, and he was in the living room. He said to himself, “I’m about 6 metres away. Let’s see what will happen.” Then, he asked, “Honey, what’s for dinner?” There was no response. So the husband moved closer to the kitchen, about 3 metres from his wife, and asked again, “Honey, what’s for dinner?” Still no response. Next he moved into the dining room, about 2 metres from his wife, and asked, “Honey, what’s for dinner?” Again, he got no response. He walked up to the kitchen door, about 1 metre away. “Honey, what’s for dinner?” Again there was no response. So he walked right up behind her. “Honey, what’s for dinner?”
“James, for the fifth time I’ve said, CHICKEN!”

答案：1-5 CBDBB
解析：
1. 词义猜测题：结合上下文，医生建议丈夫从6米远的位置向妻子提问，逐步缩短距离直到得到response，后文提到妻子说自己已经回答了五次，可推断response的含义是“回答、回应”，A选项意为观点，B选项意为邀请，D选项意为建议，均不符合语境，只有C选项Answer符合。
2. 细节理解题：根据第二段医生的表述“Stand about 6 metres away from her, and ask her a question as usual. If she cannot hear, go to 3 metres, then 2 metres, and so on”，可知医生的建议是先站在远处和妻子说话，如果对方听不到就慢慢靠近，对应B选项。A“一直站在远处低语”、C“站在妻子身边大声说话”、D“在客厅餐厅自言自语”均和原文内容不符。
3. 句意理解题：划线句的含义是“James，我已经说第五次了，晚餐是鸡肉！”，说明妻子在丈夫每次提问的时候都给出了回答，丈夫先后问了五次，妻子已经重复告知了五次晚餐的内容，对应D选项。A“妻子没听到丈夫的话”、B“妻子想让丈夫帮忙做饭”、C“妻子为没早听到丈夫的话感到抱歉”均和原文内容相悖。
4. 推理判断题：妻子明明已经回答了五次晚餐的内容，丈夫却完全没有收到回应，还误以为是妻子听力有问题，实际上听力有问题的是丈夫自己，选B。
5. 主旨大意题：整个故事的核心线索就是丈夫反复询问“晚餐吃什么”，所有情节都围绕这个问题展开，B选项最适合作为文章标题。A“五只鸡”不符合故事内容，C“爱屋及乌”和故事无关，D“一场鸡肉游戏”属于无中生有。

答案：1.B 2.A 3.D 4.F 5.C
解析：
我们可以根据上下文逻辑逐一匹配选项：
1. 空后句介绍自己家有六名家庭成员，B选项“我有一个幸福的家庭”可以自然引出下文对家庭成员的介绍，符合语境。
2. 空后句描述所有人在家都过得很愉快，紧接着分别介绍每位家人正在做的事，A选项“现在是周日下午三点”交代了场景对应的时间，契合后文现在进行时的动作描述，符合语境。
3. 空前句提到爸爸热爱阅读，空后句说明他正在读一本关于教学技巧的书，D选项“他是一所中学的老师”可以解释爸爸阅读教学类书籍的原因，前后衔接通顺。
4. 空前句提到妈妈喜欢园艺，F选项“她正在阳台上浇花”刚好对应园艺的爱好，符合语境。
5. 空前句询问“我正在做什么？”，C选项“我正在和爷爷下象棋”直接回答了自己正在进行的动作，和后文“它能帮我放松”也能衔接。
剩余的E选项不符合文中对应位置的逻辑，是多余选项。
