解答 45 D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章:One day the three ladies quarreled( 爭 吵 ).One of them said,"Look,how white and beautiful my hands are!"Another one said,"My hands are more beautiful."The third one said,"Mine are the most beautiful ones."可知三位富有的婦女有天為了誰的手是漂亮的而爭吵,故選D.
46 B 詞義猜測題.根據(jù)文章:A female farmer was also sitting by the river.可知此處劃線的she指代那位女農(nóng)民.故選B.
47 A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章可知,先描寫三位富有的婦女有天為了誰的手是漂亮的而爭吵,然后一位乞丐來向她們要吃的東西,然后農(nóng)民給了乞丐半個蛋糕,接下來乞丐吃了食物還喝了些水,最后乞丐讓其他女士看那位農(nóng)民的手.故選A.
48 C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章:The hands of the poor farmer are rough because of work,but they give us food.可知農(nóng)民的手因為工作而粗糙,但他們給我們食物,所以他們的手更美麗.故選C.
