Question

【題目】Uncle Li and Uncle Wang are good friends. They live next to each other and their farms are both at the foot of the mountain. So they can help each other. But neither of them likes to use his head. They're both poor though they work hard. Most villagers have built new houses, but they still live in the low and broken houses. They never find out why.

Once Uncle Li went to town to buy some medicine for his wife. In the town he heard the apples in a city were expensive. He told Uncle Wang about it as soon as he went back. They decided to carry some apples to the city. They borrowed some money from their friends and bought nearly 1,000 kilograms of apples in the villages and carried them to the city on a tractor. Bad luck! A lot of apples has already been carried there when they arrived. A few days later they had to sell them at a low price (價格)。They felt unhappy and returned to their village.

"I can't understand why we sustained (蒙受) losses in business while others always profit (盈利)" Uncle Li asked one day.

"The tractor was too small " Uncle Wang said without thinking. "We'll carry more apples on a truck next time!"

"I agree!" said Uncle Li. "How foolish (傻的) we were !"

【解析】試題分析：短文大意：本文是篇小故事，主要介紹了王叔叔和李叔叔生活中所做的“蠢事”，這就是導(dǎo)致他們生活不濟的主要原因。

【1】B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第二行 They're both poor though they work hard.可知，他們因為貧窮住在低矮破舊的房子里。故選C。

【2】C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第四行 Bad luck! A lot of apples has already been carried there when they arrived可知，因為有大量的蘋果已經(jīng)運到了城鎮(zhèn)，所以他們自己的蘋果只能以低價出售。故選C。

【3】C細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。根據(jù)兩個人最后的對話：賠錢的原因竟然是拖拉機太小了，還要拉更多的蘋果。說明兩個人都傻。故選C。
