Question

4．Three days ago，the boss of a gold shop received a letter．As he was very busy，the letter was on his desk till dinner time．When he opened it，a 1000 dollars note fell out onto the desk．With the note was a short letter：
Dear sir，
I got married forty years ago．Unfortunately，at that time there was a lot of unemployment and I got no job．I was out of work for about six months before I got another one．Of course I was very short of money．
I came to your shop to buy a wedding ring one day．The assistant brought some rings for me to have a look，later she was called away for a moment，and then I put one of the rings into my pocket．When she came back，I said I did not know the size of my girlfriend's finger．So I left the shop with the ring but I didn't pay for it．My wife died a month ago，and the fact that I never paid for her ring has been on my conscience（讓我良心不安）all these years．I always feel guilty about that．At that time the ring cost 100 dollars，and I think that is about ten times at today's price．
Now，I am sending you that amount．
                                                        Yours truly，
                                                         A customer

Answer 1

分析 三天前，金店的老板收到一封信．當時他很忙，直到晚飯的時候才看到桌上的這封信．當他撕開信封，一張1000美元的鈔票掉落在桌上，里面還有一封簡短的信：
先生，你好
我40年前結(jié)的婚，不幸的是，當時社會上有大量人員失業(yè)，我也沒有工作．這種狀態(tài)持續(xù)了6個月后我終于找到了一份工作，當然收入很少．
一天我到你店里買結(jié)婚戒指．營業(yè)員拿來很多戒指給我挑選，后來她去接了個電話，我就把一枚戒指揣在了口袋里．當她回來后，我說不太清楚我女友手指的尺寸，于是我?guī)е鴽]付錢的戒指離開了．我妻子一個月前去世了，這枚送給她的沒有付錢的戒指，在這些年里一直讓我良心不安，使我總有一種罪惡感．當時這枚戒指只值100美元，現(xiàn)在我想它的價值應(yīng)該10倍于原來的價格．所以我給你這個數(shù)目．
你的一位真誠的顧客．

解答 58．答案：B．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第一句Three days ago，the boss of a gold shop received a letter可知是三天前收到的信，故選B．
59．答案：B．詞意判斷題．劃線單詞的下文got no job"沒有找到工作"和out of work"失業(yè)"，都在提示上文的劃線單詞意義為"失業(yè)"．正是因為失業(yè)的窘境才導(dǎo)致寫信者偷了店里的戒指．故選B．
60．答案：C．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)最后At that time the ring cost 100 dollars，and I think that is about ten times at today's price．可知四十年前是100美元，故選C．
61．答案：A． 細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)最后I am sending you that amount．可知寫信的人是償還自己四十年前所拿戒指的錢，故選A．
62．答案：A．細節(jié)理解題．通過短文開始When he opened it，可知是老板親自打開了信件．故選A．
