Question

【題目】 Andrew was smart when he was young. He liked doing things in a way that he thought to be clever. But sometimes he made wrong decisions.

One day, his father gave him ten dollars and asked him to buy some goldfish（金魚）.When he got to the market, he found that the killifish(鰭魚）looked like goldfish and that they were much cheaper. So he bought some killifish and kept the rest of the money for himself.

When he got home, his father realized what Andrew did at once. He put the fish in the tank without saying anything at first. The next day he said to his son, "Andrew, do you know what you bought yesterday? Are they goldfish?” Andrew didn't know what to say. His father continued, "I'm glad that you know how to save money. I also know you are good at watching things around you. But it's not right to be dishonest." From then on, Andrew's father often asked him to do some chores, like buying daily things and helping his uncle in the store.

Several years later, Andrew became a successful businessman. When talking about the key to success, he said, "Thanks to my father, I got to know myself well and developed in a right way."

【3】C

【4】D

【5】D

【解析】

Andrew小時(shí)候是一個(gè)機(jī)靈的孩子，但偶爾會(huì)耍些小聰明，他的爸爸教育他要誠實(shí)，最后Andrew成為了一名成功的商人。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第二段 “One day, his father gave him ten dollars and asked him to buy some goldfish（金魚）…h(huán)e found that the killifish(鰭魚）looked like goldfish and that they were much cheaper.”可知，Andrew的爸爸給了他10美元，他買的鰭魚比金魚更便宜，所以10美元沒有花完。故選B。

【2】推理判斷題。A“因?yàn)樗�的爸爸教他怎樣成長得更好”；B“因?yàn)樗�的爸爸教他怎樣照顧自己”�?/span>C“因?yàn)樗�的爸爸告訴他幫助別人的重要性”；D“因?yàn)樗�的爸爸幫助他找到了一個(gè)好工作”。根據(jù)文意 “he said, "Thanks to my father, I got to know myself well and developed in a right way."”可知，Andrew感謝爸爸對(duì)他的教育，讓他了解了自己，走上了正路，最后成功了。故選A。

【3】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)文意 “One day, his father gave him ten dollars and asked him to buy some goldfish（金魚）.When he got to the market, he found that the killifish(鰭魚）looked like goldfish and that they were much cheaper. So he bought some killifish”可知，Andrew的爸爸讓他去買金魚，但是他買的是鰭魚，Andrew是不誠實(shí)的。dishonest是honest的反義詞，“不誠實(shí)的”，故選C。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文意可知，文章先講述了Andrew拿著爸爸給的10美元錢去買金魚，結(jié)果買回來鰭魚；后來Andrew經(jīng)常去商店幫助叔叔，最后成為了一名成功的商人。故選D。

【5】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段 “The next day he said to his son, "Andrew, do you know what you bought yesterday? Are they goldfish?” Andrew didn't know what to say. His father continued, "I'm glad that you know how to save money. I also know you are good at watching things around you. But it's not right to be dishonest."”可知，Andrew的父親知道了Andrew做了什么，但是他沒有斥責(zé)他，而是先肯定了Andrew的優(yōu)點(diǎn)，然后告訴他不誠實(shí)是不對(duì)的。從這里我們可以看到，Andrew的爸爸很懂得如何教育他的孩子，是一個(gè)成功的父親。故選D。
