六、阅读短文,选择正确的答案。
A lot of people in the US are wearing the same clothes. And many of them have long hair. So sometimes you don't know who are men and who are women.
One day, an old man goes for a walk in a park. When he is tired, he sits down on a bench by a pool, with a person with long hair beside him. He sees a young person standing on the other side of the pool. "My dear!" the old man says to the person next to him, "Do you see that person in a red sweater and with long hair? Is it a boy or a girl?"
"A boy," says the person. "He's my son."
"Oh!" says the old man. "I'm sorry. I don't know you are his mother."
"I'm not," says the person. "I'm his father."

做这类阅读理解选择题,解题思路如下:
1. 先通读全文,把握核心内容:短文讲述了美国因很多人穿着相同、留长发,有时难以区分男女,以及一位老人在公园因此闹乌龙的故事。
2. 针对每个题目,回到原文定位关键信息,逐一对比选项:
第1题:找区分男女的难点对应的原文描述;
第2题:定位泳池另一边年轻人的特征;
第3题:确定老人旁边的人的性别;
第4题:分析老人认错性别的原因;
第5题:结合语境推断老人的情绪。
通过精准定位原文细节,就能排除错误选项,选出正确答案。
【解析】
1. 第1题:根据短文第一段“A lot of people in the US are wearing the same clothes. And many of them have long hair. So sometimes you don't know who are men and who are women.”可知,在美国,人们的衣服和发型相似,导致难以区分男女,因此选C。
2. 第2题:根据文中老人的话语“Do you see that person in a red sweater and with long hair?”可知,泳池另一边的人留着长发;A选项“疲惫的”文中未提及,C选项“红色夹克”与原文“red sweater”不符,因此选B。
3. 第3题:根据短文最后一句“I'm not," says the person. "I'm his father."可知,坐在老人旁边的是男性,因此选C。
4. 第4题:结合短文开头提到的美国很多人留长发的背景,老人看到旁边的人有长发,便误以为是年轻人的妈妈,因此选B。
5. 第5题:老人误把男性认成女性,得知真相后会处于尴尬的境地,happy(开心)、sad(难过)均不符合语境,因此选C。
