He saw one basket,a big basket of some very red,long fruit. And it was the cheapest in the shop,not expensive at all.

      So he 4  and asked,^“ How much per kilo?^ And the shop- keeper said，“ Two rupees (印度貨幣) .” Two rupees in India was 5  ; it's like dirt (塵土) . So he bought a whole kilogram of the fruit and started eating it.

You can^ just eat them by the handful like that; they’re not 10   ! ” So the silly master said ,“ No,I can't stop!I paid money for them, 11   now I'll eat them. It's my 12  !”

[語篇解讀]本文是一篇哲理小故事。一個人在印度買了辣椒當(dāng)水 果吃，結(jié)果被辣得半死，但是他仍然不愿放棄，因為辣椒是他花錢買 的。作者通過這個故事告訴我們一個道理，有些東西失去就讓它失 去，要學(xué)會放手，否則你會失去更多。

1. B根據(jù)前文內(nèi)容，由于當(dāng)時沒有現(xiàn)在的飛機等交通方式，因此他只 能步行去，故選擇on foot。

2. C根據(jù)but可知，前后應(yīng)存在轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，以及后文because they can't grow much可以推測那里的水果比較貴，故選expensive “昂貴的”。delicious美味的;cheap便宜的;fresh新鮮的。

3. A印度不能出產(chǎn)很多的水果是由于水文條件，故此處選擇because

of“由于，因為”。with the help of在 的幫助下；in need of需要;as a result 因此。

4. B他走上前去問道：“多少錢一公斤?”go up走上前去，符合題意。get up起身;turn up調(diào)高音量，出現(xiàn);look up抬頭看，查閱。

5. B根據(jù)后文內(nèi)容it's like dirt (塵土) ，跟塵土一樣，說明是不值錢， 故選擇nothing。

6. A 由于他吃了很多的辣椒，因此會流眼淚，所以選擇eyeS,eyeS water眼睛流眼淚。

7. C由于辣椒非常辣，因此他的臉變紅，再結(jié)合上文提到的burning , 故選C項。

8. D由于他吃了很多的辣椒，非常辣,再結(jié)合up and down,可知是他 一邊咳嗽一邊跳，故選D項。

9. A人們把辣椒作為作料，use...as...把……作為……，符合題意，故 選A項。

10. C the master把辣椒當(dāng)作水果吃了，旁人在告訴他這不是水果，故選C項。

11. B我是付錢買下的，現(xiàn)在我要把它們吃掉。前后存在順承關(guān)系，

故選B項。

12. A前文提到I paid money for them,此處the master在強調(diào)這錢是他 的，故選A項。

13. D結(jié)合后文的into it,可以排除B和C項，spend與on搭配，pay與 for 搭配。join 加入，不符合題意。put money,time,effort and love into it投人了金錢、時間、努力和愛在這里，故選D項。

14. C即使你失去了某些東西，就讓它去吧，然后繼續(xù)。even if即使， 雖然;as if好像;ever since自從;so that結(jié)果是，目的是。句子前后 有讓步關(guān)系，故選C項。

15. D這比繼續(xù)失去好，continue to lose繼續(xù)失去。作者的意思是失 去的東西就讓它失去吧，如果你繼續(xù)糾纏，那么就會失去更多，也 就是會繼續(xù)失去，故選D項。
