Passage 3
Uncle Li and Uncle Wang are good friends. They live next to each other and their farms are both at the foot of the mountain. So they can help each other. But neither of them likes to use his head. They're both poor though they work hard. Most villagers have built new houses, but they still live in the low and broken houses. They never find out why.
Once Uncle Li went to town to buy some medicine for his wife. In the town he heard the apples in a city were expensive. He told Uncle Wang about it as soon as he went back. They decided to carry some apples to the city. They borrowed some money from their friends and bought nearly 1,000 kilograms of apples in the villages and carried them to the city on a tractor. Bad luck! A lot of apples has already been carried there when they arrived. A few days later they had to sell them at a low price (價(jià)格)。They felt unhappy and returned to their village.
"I can't understand why we sustained (蒙受) losses in business while others always profit (盈利)" Uncle Li asked one day.
"The tractor was too small " Uncle Wang said without thinking. "We'll carry more apples on a truck next time!"
"I agree!" said Uncle Li. "How foolish (傻的) we were !"

試題分析：這篇短文為我們講述的是兩個(gè)不愛(ài)動(dòng)腦筋的人。李叔叔和王叔叔兩人工作都很努力，但就是仍然很窮，不像別人那樣會(huì)賺錢(qián)。文中還舉了一個(gè)例子，兩人想去城里賣(mài)蘋(píng)果，結(jié)果城里的蘋(píng)果太多了，兩人只好低價(jià)把蘋(píng)果賣(mài)了，又賠了不少錢(qián)。最終兩個(gè)人也沒(méi)有找到他們窮的原因。
小題1:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。他們兩個(gè)還住在又矮又破的房子里是因?yàn)門(mén)hey're both poor，他們兩個(gè)都很窮。故選B。
小題2:推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第二段的內(nèi)容可知，李叔叔在去城里買(mǎi)藥的時(shí)候聽(tīng)說(shuō)城里蘋(píng)果很貴，回來(lái)馬上告訴王叔叔。他們兩人借錢(qián)買(mǎi)了很多蘋(píng)果，拉到城里賣(mài)， 其目的就是想賺錢(qián)。make a profit 賺錢(qián)。故選D。
小題3:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中A lot of apples has already been carried there when they arrived，當(dāng)他們兩人到了的時(shí)候，很多蘋(píng)果已經(jīng)運(yùn)到了城里。所以他們不得不低價(jià)把自己的蘋(píng)果賣(mài)掉。故選C。
小題4:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中They felt unhappy and returned to their village."I can't understand why we sustained (蒙受) losses in business while others always profit (盈利)。他們不高興是因?yàn)橘u(mài)蘋(píng)果這件事又讓他們蒙受了很大的損失。故選A。
小題5:推理判斷題。故事中的兩個(gè)人在賣(mài)蘋(píng)果這件事上又賠錢(qián)了，但他們卻怪是拖拉機(jī)太小了，拉去的蘋(píng)果太少了，還要換成卡車(chē)運(yùn)送蘋(píng)果。可見(jiàn)二人并沒(méi)有找到自己窮困的真正原因，故他們兩個(gè)都不是聰明人。所以選C。
