分析 兩個(gè)人同乘一架飛機(jī)，要經(jīng)歷一段漫長(zhǎng)的旅途，他們一個(gè)是商人另一個(gè)是農(nóng)民．起初他們一言不發(fā)很久了，突然一個(gè)農(nóng)民開(kāi)口說(shuō)道：讓我們做點(diǎn)兒什么來(lái)打發(fā)時(shí)間吧．
商人問(wèn)道：你想做什么？
農(nóng)民說(shuō)：我們可以玩猜謎游戲，你先來(lái)
商人說(shuō)：為了使游戲更加有趣，首先讓我們來(lái)定一下規(guī)則．我們來(lái)設(shè)定一個(gè)賭注，如果回答不上來(lái)謎底就要輸給對(duì)方一百美元．
農(nóng)民想了一會(huì)兒說(shuō)：這不公平，你是一個(gè)見(jiàn)識(shí)廣博的商人你通曉很多事情，而我只是一個(gè)農(nóng)民，一無(wú)所知．
商人說(shuō)：那倒是，你認(rèn)為我們?cè)撛趺炊ㄒ?guī)則呢？
農(nóng)民答道：如果你答不上來(lái)謎底你輸給我100美元，如果我答不上來(lái)我輸給你50美元
商人考慮了一下說(shuō)道：好吧．這個(gè)公平那我們誰(shuí)先來(lái)？
農(nóng)民說(shuō)：我先來(lái)吧．我的謎題是：什么東西當(dāng)它走著的時(shí)候有三條腿，躺著的時(shí)候只有兩條腿．
商人重復(fù)了一遍什么東西當(dāng)它走著的時(shí)候有三條腿，躺著的時(shí)候只有兩條腿：嗯這的確是個(gè)不錯(cuò)的迷．恐怕我不知道謎底，于是商人輸給農(nóng)民100美元．然后問(wèn)道：請(qǐng)告訴我答案是什么東西當(dāng)它走著的時(shí)候有三條腿，躺著的時(shí)候只有兩條腿．農(nóng)民幽默的一笑：我也不知道，于是輸給了商人50美元

解答 26．答案D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第一段提到Two men were sitting together in a plane．They were on a long journey．One of the men was a businessman．The other was a farmer．兩個(gè)人坐在飛機(jī)上，進(jìn)行一次長(zhǎng)時(shí)間的旅行，一個(gè)是商人，一個(gè)是農(nóng)民，故選D項(xiàng)．
27．答案C 推理判斷題．根據(jù)第二段提到"What do you want to do？"the businessman asked．"We can ask each other riddles．"The farmer said，"You start．"商人問(wèn)，你想做什么，我們問(wèn)彼此一個(gè)問(wèn)題，農(nóng)民說(shuō)，開(kāi)始吧，結(jié)合上下文可知，這個(gè)詞的意思是謎語(yǔ)，也就是較難回答的問(wèn)題，故選C項(xiàng)．
28．答案B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第二段提到That's not fair．You are a businessman with much knowledge．You know more things than I do．I am just a farmer這不公正，你是個(gè)知識(shí)豐富的商人，你知道的事情比我多，我只是個(gè)農(nóng)民，故選B項(xiàng)．
29．答案D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)最后一段提到He gave the farmer 100，then said，"Tell me the answer．What has three legs when it walks，but only two legs when it flies？""I don't know．"The farmer said and gave him 50．可知給了農(nóng)民100美元后來(lái)農(nóng)民不知道又給了商人50美元，所以農(nóng)民贏了50美元．故選D項(xiàng)．
30．答案D 理解判斷題 由文中 The businessman thought for a long time and said，"Mm，that's a good one．I'm afraid I don't know the answer．"He gave the farmer＄100可知 商人并不知道這個(gè)問(wèn)題的答案，給了農(nóng)民100美元，故選D

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文并不算難，大部分題目都是細(xì)節(jié)理解題，只要理解文章意思，仔細(xì)閱讀，從文中尋找答案，即可輕松解答．推理判斷題則根據(jù)句意以及自己對(duì)文章的把握來(lái)解答．

11．There are many reasons why I encourage people to travel，and I know that the experience will make one a better person．
I remember when I was traveling that I began to know the world better．The world is not just about me，my small town and home．Although you will meet different people from all over the world，you will realize that people are similar in their dreams，hopes and feelings．Enjoy exploring the different cultures，and you will also find that people are different in some of the things they do and how they live．Once you understand their ways，it need not be strange or scary．Often we read stories about other cultures in books．Only when we visit their areas，do we find that those stories are sometimes wrong．
One thing you may find out is that there are problems all over the world．We cannot just get money to send to these areas and hope that will work them out．The world should get involved（干預(yù)）and help wherever there are problems．People everywhere should be given a chance．It is so easy to ignore（忽視）this if one does not travel and explore．One can look around and see that so many people have many challenges worse than ours．One can realize that sometimes our biggest problems are not that big agter all．
On your journey you will meet lots of new friends．Talking to strangers and finding about their lives is a great way to spend your time．You will certainly be more confident after having to cope with  problems and make many decisions along the way．
When you travel，you have to be on your own in some situations．You will surprise yourself by how well you can do that．All your special experiences could make an interesting book to read．It would be filled with all your adventures and special memories．
Traveling around and seeing so much happening in the world around us is a wonderful experience．If we could all just travel a little more and share our experiences，we would all be  better people and the world would be a better place．

76．From Paragrahp 2，we can learn thatC．
A．people around the world are the same in their hopes．
B．books always tell us wrong stories about cultures．

78．The expression"cope with"in Paragrahp 4 most probably means"A"．
A．solve 
B．a(chǎn)void 
C．meet 
D．cover．
79．Which of the following would be the best title of the passage？D
A．People in the World Are Family．
B．Traveling Helps One Make More Friends．
C．People in the World Share One Dream．
D．Traveling Makes One a Better Person．
80．What's the writer's purpose of writing the passage？B．

8．One day，I took an underground to work，I saw something that made me very sad．On the tube（underground in London），a mother kept looking at her phone screen and playing a game with her daughter sitting beside her．The little girl，about 5 years old，was talking to her mother about her day，repeating the next stop's name cheerfully，praising her mother's long nails---trying to draw her mother's attention．Her mother just nodded and mumbled"Mm，hm"with her eyes glued to the screen，busy passing the levels of the game．I watched the girl give a final try to at least get her mum to look at her，but it was no use．Then the little girl turned silent．It was a shame the mother didn't notice that．
It broke my heart and got me wondering---what kind of game would make the mother forget she has the most beautiful thing in the world，the human she created，the person she loves with all her heart？What it meant when she couldn't look into her daughter's eyes and even stop to listen to the girl？
Some parents are almost like the teenagers，always on their phones with mindless games or going through Facebook．Perhaps parents have many things to deal with，but sometimes they are everything to their kids．
This is not an isolatedexample．I've seen too many such examples．I might not be a parent myself，and probably still have a long way before becoming one，but I know what I saw isn't right．
The scene used to be seen among teenagers very often when parents complained how their children were crazy about their mobile phones．Look how the situation has changed!The parents have become"technology slaves"，that is to say，they can't control themselves while using mobile phones．Now some middle-aged parents hold the best iPhones or Samsung phones，which are probably the only two brands they know．They are playing the simple games with so expensive mobile phones，I'm uncertain whether to laugh or to cry．But my hope is that this storm passes．

32．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？A
A．The girl failed to attract her mother's attention．
B．The mother felt sorry after her daughter turned silent．
C．The writer has much experience about being a parent．
D．Middle-aged parents know many brands of mobile phones．
33．The underlined word"isolated"in Paragraph 4 meansB．
A．spreading fast
B．happening once
C．increasing quickly
D．a(chǎn)ppearing suddenly
34．In the passage，the writer mainly wants to expressD．
A．the worries that children are crazy about mobile phones
B．the happiness that parents are now able to use modern technology
C．the sadness that the best smart phones cost parents too much money
D．the hope that parents use new technology like smart phones properly
35．What's the best title of the passage？C
A．Middle-aged parents
B．A scene on the tube
C．Technology slaves
D．Mindless phone games．
