[解析]
(1)细节理解题。根据文章第一段The washer did its job,yet even after an hour,the dryer seemed to have barely warmed my clothes.I left,having decided to air﹣dry them on my car in the August heat.(洗衣机完成了它的工作,然而即使过了一个小时,干衣机似乎也没有把我的衣服加热。我离开了,决定在八月的炎热中在车上自然风干。)可知,作者之所以拿着湿衣服离开是因为烘干机没用。故选D。
(2)推理判断题。根据文章第二段A month later,I learned her name was Sandy,which she told me after I'd helped her stop a washing machine from moving across the floor.I was grading poems at a table when one of the washers broke loose and skipped an inch into the air.I jumped to the machine and held on while she unplugged it.The next week,Sandy told me dryer No.8 was the fastest.(一个月后,我才知道她的名字叫Sandy,是在我帮她阻止一台洗衣机在地板上移动后,她告诉我的。当时我正在桌子旁批改诗歌,突然一个洗衣机松开了,飞到空中一英寸。我跳到洗衣机前,抓住不放,她拔下插头。第二个星期,Sandy告诉我8号烘干机是最快的。)可知,Sandy告诉作者8号烘干机最快是因为她想对作者表达感谢。故选C。
(3)推理判断题。根据文章第三段She was fascinated that I was studying poetry.She teased(开玩笑) that it was harder making a living as a poet than as a laundry attendant.Even then I knew she was probably right.(她开玩笑说,当诗人比当洗衣工更难谋生。即使那时我也知道她可能是对的。)可知,Sandy认为诗人的待遇太差。故选C。
(4)推理判断题。根据文章第四段But Sandy was the center of my community.For nearly three years and almost every week,I'd do laundry and talk with her.We checked on each other,expecting the other to be there.We asked where the other had gone when we missed a week.(但Sandy是我生活的中心。在将近三年的时间里,几乎每个星期,我都会一边洗衣服一边和她聊天。我们互相查看对方在不在,并期望对方在那里。当我们错过一个星期的时候,我们会问对方去了哪里。)可知,作者和Sandy之间建立了亲密的友谊。故选A。
