分析 本文講述了一個(gè)美國(guó)的生意人到墨西哥渡假，他以生意人的角度給當(dāng)?shù)匾粋�(gè)漁民一些建議，讓他如何可以賺更多的錢，早點(diǎn)退休過上輕松的生活．
解答 51．D．主旨題，由全文文意可知，一個(gè)美國(guó)的生意人到墨西哥渡假，以生意人的角度給當(dāng)?shù)匾粋�(gè)漁民一些建議，故選D．
52．B．細(xì)節(jié)題，由第二段I have a full and busy life可知，漁民喜充實(shí)繁忙的生活，故選B．
53．D．細(xì)節(jié)題，由第二段．"Martin explained that if Pablo worked longer hours and caught more fish，he could make more money可知生意人建議漁夫多工作一會(huì)，抓到更多的魚，然后賣更多的魚，賺更多的錢．故選D．
54．B．猜詞題，讓學(xué)生猜測(cè)的單詞是unload，load的意思是裝載，負(fù)擔(dān)．對(duì)于學(xué)生來說不是很難，加上否定前綴再結(jié)合下文中將魚打包說明是要把船收好，所以正確選項(xiàng)是B．
55．A．推斷題，本文是個(gè)很有寓意的小故事，生意人以自己的眼光覺得人應(yīng)該盡力工作，盡力賺更多的錢，過上更加輕松的日子．但是漁夫覺得過著忙碌充實(shí)的生活，和朋友交流，和家人聚會(huì)就覺得很滿足．兩人的看法不一樣，所以最后漁夫還是會(huì)堅(jiān)守自己的看法．故選A．
