阅读下列短文,回答题目.
we found that bar at last.I didn’t have to ask again，for there it was in big red neon letters over the window—Star Bar.There were some iron tables outside with plastic chairs around them.
A few people sat arOund，looking at a portable television set that someone had brought out of the bar.Thev were all in thin summer dresses or short shirts;even at that late hour it was stifling.Two thin dogs lay under one of the tables with their tongues out，and some of the women were fannlng themselves unenthusiastically(无精打采地)with magazines.
“He，s not here，”I said，after a quick look around.The television was speaking out an advertisement for a detergent(洗衣粉)，and the people sitting round had their eyes glued to the Picture of a woman proudly showing how white her husband’s underwear was after having been washed.They took no notice of US at all.
“Well.what did you expect?”replied Fergus，yawning(打呵欠).“It’s only half past nine,and he said he would be here at nine.You ought to know Graig by this time.He’11 turn up sometime after ten.”
1.The writer and his friend__________.
A.had never been to that bar before
B.did not know if they had come to the right place
C.asked somebody the name of the bar
D.had little difficulty in finding the bar
参考答案：A
答案及解析：
A【解析】推理判断题。文章第一句中的at last暗示我们，作者和他的朋友找了好长时间才找到了这个地方，故选项D是错误的;通过窗户上方的霓虹灯，他们知道已经到了和Graig会见的地方。所以，选项B、C也是错误的;第二句提到“我不用再问路了”，所以可以推测出作者和他的朋友以前没有到过那个酒吧。
2.What does the underlined word“stifling”(Paragraph l)probably mean?
A.Disappearing gradually.
B.Giving out into the air.
C.Hot and breathless.
D.Pleasing and comfortable.
参考答案：C
参考解析：C【解析】词语释义题。从文章第一段可知，从酒吧口人们的着装和精神状态，几位女子用杂志无精打采地扇着风，很瘦的两条狗伸出舌头趴在桌子下面，可推测出虽然已是晚上9：30了，但天气仍然很闷热。
3.The people outside the bar__________.
A.were verv interested in the television program
B.were chatting with a saleswoman
C.had no particular interest in anything
D.were very uncomfortable
参考答案：C
参考解析：C【解析】事实细节题。从文章第一自然段当时人们的动作和表情可以看出，他们没有什么特别感兴趣的事情可做。
