Question

A beautiful woman took a plane on business. She found her seat and sat down next to a young man. The man was just thinking of making a few dollars on the plane. When he saw the woman, he got an idea.

“Hey! Would you like to play a game?” he asked the woman. “No, thank you. I just want to take a nap (打盹),” the woman answered.

“It’s really easy. All you have to do is to answer the questions that I ask you. If you don’t know the answer, you give me five dollars. If I don’t know the answer to your question, then I’ll give you five dollars.”

“No,” the woman still refused.

“OK. If I don’t know the answer to your question, I’ll give you five hundred dollars. How about that?” the man said. Then the woman became interested and decided to join in the game.

“OK. How many moons does Jupiter (木星) have?” asked the young man. The woman reached into her purse and took out a five-dollar bill.

“What goes up the mountain with three legs and comes back with four?” the woman asked. Then the young man took out his computer and searched the Internet for an answer. Minutes later, the young man handed five hundred dollars to the woman.

After a few hours, the young man really wanted to know the answer to the question. So he asked the woman, “What is the answer to your question?” The woman reached into her purse and handed the young man a five-dollar bill.

試題分析：

【文章大意】本文是一篇故事。文章講述了一位年輕人想趁坐飛機(jī)的時(shí)間賺些錢(qián)，于是，他就和一位婦女玩起了問(wèn)問(wèn)題的游戲，結(jié)果，自己卻輸了490美元。你想知道為什么嗎？請(qǐng)看這個(gè)故事。

1.C考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文章第一段中的The man was just thinking of making a few dollars on the plane.可知，那個(gè)人想在飛機(jī)上掙錢(qián)。故選C。

2.D考查推理判斷。從文章的內(nèi)容可知，那位婦女贏了500美元，她有2個(gè)問(wèn)題沒(méi)有答出來(lái)，所以，她要付給那位男人10美元。即500—10=490美元。故選D。

3.D考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文章最后一段中的So he asked the woman, “What is the answer to your question?” The woman reached into her purse and handed the young man a five-dollar bill.可知，那位婦女給了那個(gè)男人5美元，證明她也不知道答案。故選D。

4.A考查推理判斷。根據(jù)文章的內(nèi)容可知，那位婦女問(wèn)了一些連自己都不知道的題，從網(wǎng)站上都無(wú)法查到，當(dāng)然她會(huì)賺錢(qián)，因?yàn)槟莻�(gè)男人無(wú)法回答她的問(wèn)題。所以，由此推知那位婦女很聰明。故選A。

考點(diǎn)：考查故事類(lèi)閱讀理解。
