中考英语阅读理解：一件价值低廉的毛衣

Mr. Ford saw a nice sweater in the shop window. It was very cheap. So he bought one.
When he went back home he put the sweater on, It was all right and he was pleased with it.
In the afternoon he went out to work in his garden. It soon began to rain, and Mr. Ford had to run into his house. He ran quickly, but he still got wet.
Then his sweater started to shrink. It got smaller and smaller. Mr. Ford tried to take it off, but he couldn’t.
In the end, with the help of his wife, he got out of the sweater. Mrs. Ford laughed, “ You see, you bought a cheap thing, but…”
阅读短文，然后根据文章内容判断下列各句是否正确，对的用“T”、错误的用“F”表示。
1. Mr. Ford bought the sweater because it was very nice and cheap.
2. “Shrink” here means “become smaller”。
3. Mr. Ford was not good at buying things.
4. Mr. Ford put the sweater on as soon as he bought it.
5. Mr. Ford took off the sweater by himself.
【答案与解的】
1. T. 第1小题的句意与文章的第1自然段意思相同，所以符合短文内容。
2. T. 从文章的第四自然段可知shrink的意思就是become smaller。所以符合短文内容。
3. T. Ford先生上午买的衣服下午穿在身上被雨水打湿后就缩小变形了，由此可知Ford先生不擅长买东西。
4. F. 从文章中的When he went back home he put the sweater on.可知， 他是买了带回家才穿的。所以第四小题与短文内容不相符合。
5. F. 从文章的最后一段可知他是在妻子的帮助下才把衣服给脱下来的。所以与短文内容不相符合。
