題目：
Tom arrived at the bus station quite early for the London bus. The bus for London would not leave until five to twelve. He saw a lot of people waiting in the station. Some were standing in lines, others were walking about. There was a group of school-girls. Their teacher was trying to keep them in order. Tom looked around but there was nowhere for him to sit. He walked into the station café. He looked up at the clock there. It was only twenty to twelve. He found a seat and sat down, facing a large mirror on the wall. Just then, John, one of Tom’s friends, came in and sat with Tom. 「What time is your bus?」 asked John. 「Oh, there is plenty of time yet,」 answered Tom. 「Oh, I』ll get you some more tea then,」 said John. They talked while drinking. Then Tom looked at the clock again. 「Good heavens! It’s going back-ward!」 he cried. 「A few minutes ago it was twenty to twelve and now it’s half past eleven.」 「You are looking at the clock in the mirror,」 said John. Tom wanted to kick himself for being so foolish. The next bus was not to leave for another hour. He has never liked mirror since then. 小題1:Tom went into the station café because _______.

解答：
小題1:D
小題2:A
小題3:C
小題4:A
小題1:細節題。從Tom arrived at the bus station quite early for the Paris bus, and Tom looked around but there was no place for him to sit可知他去咖啡館是爲了找個座位坐一坐，故答案選B。
小題2:推斷題。閱讀全文可知他是從鏡子中看的時間，鏡中的時針、分針與鬧鐘上的時針、分針是關於12與6的連線對稱，那麼11：40對稱到對稱軸的右邊就是12：20，同樣11：30對稱到右邊就是12：30，所以他後來看到的時間是12：30，這道題拿個表對著鏡子一看就知道了，不妨試一試。
小題3:細節題。從Oh! It’s going backward!可知選項C正確。
小題4:推斷題。從Since then Tom has never liked mirrors可知Tom從此以後再也不會從鏡子中看時間了，由此判斷Tom沒有錯過了汽車沒能按時到，故答案選A。
