Question

7．Peter was a carpenter（木匠）of our village．Once I asked him to make a dining table for my wife．He made it just the right size to fill the space between the two windows．When I arrived home that evening，Peter was drinking a cup of tea and writing out his bill for his work．
  My wife said to me，quietly："That's his ninth cup of tea today．"But she said loudly："It's abeautiful table，dear，isn't it？"
"Iwon'tdecideaboutthatuntilIseethatbill．"Isaid．
  Peter laughed and gave me his bill for the work．It said：

BILL One dining table                       June 10，2016 Cost of wood                             27.00 Paint （油漆）                             5.50 Work，8 hours（2 an hour）          16.00 Total （總計(jì)）                              58.50

When I was looking at the bill，Peter said："It's been a fine day，hasn't it？Quite sunny．"
"Yes，"I said．"I'm glad it is only the 10th of June．"
"Me too．"said Peter，"You wait-it'll be a bit hotter by the end of the month．"
"Yes．Hotter-and more expensive．Dining tables will be 20 more expensive on June 30th，won't they，Peter？"
Peter looked hard at me for half a minute．There was a little smile in his two blue eyes．I gave his bill back to him．
"If it isn't too much trouble，Peter，"I said，"Please add it up again．You can forget the date．"

Answer 1

分析 皮特是我們鎮(zhèn)的一名木匠．一次我讓他為我的妻子做一張飯桌．他正好做的在兩個(gè)窗戶(hù)之間那么大的桌子．當(dāng)我那天晚上回家的時(shí)候，皮特正在喝茶并寫(xiě)這張桌子的賬單．
我的妻子輕輕的和我說(shuō)："那是他今天喝的第九杯茶"但是她大聲的說(shuō)："這是一張漂亮的桌子，是嗎，親愛(ài)的？"
"直到我看到賬單我才能確定"我說(shuō)．
皮特笑著給了我他的賬單．上面寫(xiě)著
一張餐桌     2016年6月10日
木頭   27.00
油漆   5.5
工作八小時(shí)   16.00
總計(jì)58.5
當(dāng)我看著賬單，皮特說(shuō)："是一個(gè)晴天，是嗎？陽(yáng)光特別好"
"是的，我很開(kāi)心今天僅僅是6月10號(hào)"我說(shuō)．
"我也是，你等等，月末將會(huì)熱一點(diǎn)"皮特說(shuō)．
"是的，更熱也更貴，餐桌在6月30日將會(huì)貴20，是嗎？皮特？"
皮特專(zhuān)注的看著我半分鐘．他的雙眼有一絲微笑．我把賬單給他．
"如果不麻煩，就請(qǐng)?jiān)倏傆?jì)一遍，你能忘記日期"
我付了48.5他很開(kāi)心．

解答 58．答案C．推理判斷題．本文主要講述的是henry 這位木匠想方設(shè)法把日期加進(jìn)去問(wèn)人家多要錢(qián)的事，結(jié)合賬單知道他是多加了十元，故他不想讓作者看出來(lái)，所以談?wù)撎鞖廪D(zhuǎn)移他的注意力．故選C．
59．答案D．推理判斷題．結(jié)合賬單，作者是認(rèn)為Peter把日期（June 10）的"10"也加到賬單里了，所以說(shuō)到月底就會(huì)多20，故選D．
60．答案B．推理判斷題．Peter把日期（June 10）的"10"也加到賬單里了，原本只應(yīng)該要48.50元，如果是六月三十號(hào)，Peter會(huì)再加上三十元．故48.5+30=78.5，故選B．
61．答案A．推理判斷題．本文主要講述的是henry 這位木匠在賬單中將日期加進(jìn)去，想方設(shè)法問(wèn)人家多要錢(qián)的事，故選A．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文生詞不多能看懂，題目有一定的難度，都是需要結(jié)合文意，細(xì)細(xì)推敲才能得出答案．還有計(jì)算題，更不能馬虎．
