【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者海军退伍之后受母校校长邀请参加情人节舞会，遇到一位女孩并与其交往的故事。
【难句分析】Then one rainy afternoon in March as I was driving home after basketball practice，I saw Marilyn，walking with no umbrella，no raincoat and no hat.
分析：本句含有as引导的时间状语从句；现在分词短语 hat 作谓语动词saw的伴随状语。
译文：接着，在三月一个雨天的下午，在我篮球训练完开车回家的途中，我看见了Marilyn，她走在雨中，没有带雨伞，没有穿雨衣，也没有戴帽子。
1．C 考查细节理解。根据第一段的“The thought of eing my former teaches was exciting.So I agreed”可以看出，由于在校园舞会上可以见到原来的老师，所以作者决定参加舞会。所以选C项。
2．B 考查推理判断。根据第二段首句“When Friday came，I cleaned up，dresd up and drove to the high school gym”的描述可以看出，作者对这次舞会的态度是很正式的(formal)。所以选B项。
3．A 考查推理判断。根据第一段的“Back home from the Navy，I started school at Greenville College in my hometown of Illinois.I'd been out of high school for four years”可以推断，作者在高中毕业后去海军服役4年，退役后就读于家乡的大学。所以选A项。
