Answer 1

29．D  推理判断题．根据第一句Pat came over from Ireland to England with his wife one year ago to find work可见Pat来英格兰的目的是找工作．可以推断出来英格兰是为了赚钱，所以答案选D．
30．C 细节理解题．根据句子she went to Ireland to see her mother，她去爱尔兰是为了看她妈妈，所以答案选C．
31．B 推理判断题．根据文章最后一句 Please excuse the bad writing and spelling'请原谅糟糕的书法和拼写，可以推断他是想让他的妻子原谅他自己的书法和拼写，所以答案选B．
32．A  根据故事内容，Pat不会读也不会写，于是他找人代笔口述，最后一句请原谅糟糕的书法和拼写，可见他当是这封信是他亲笔所书了，所以对于这件是他是错误的，故答案选A．
