4.Tom was a shopkeeper.He had a small corner shop.It was open from seven in the morning until eleven at night and sold many different things.Though Tom worked hard in his shop for too long,he had a good business and he felt happy every day.
Then a supermarket opened across the street.The supermarket was ten times the size of Tom's shop.
The manager of the supermarket wanted to take Tom's customers away from him.He found out what Tom's prices were and then made his prices lower than Tom's.
People quickly stopped buying things from Tom's shop.They bought everything from the supermarket instead.Soon Tom's business was very bad and he was angry.
"It's not fair,"Tom thought,"I must do something to teach that supermarket manager a lesson."
The price of steak in the supermarket was﹩5.00 a pound.Tom put a sign in his window,"Steak--﹩4.50 a pound."The next day the price of steak in the supermarket was﹩4.25 a pound.Tom changed the sign in his window."Steak--﹩4.00 a pound."
An hour later,the sign in the supermarket said,"Steak--﹩3.75a pound."Ten minutes later the sign in Tom's window said,"Steak--﹩3.5a pound."
Five minutes later the sign in the supermarket said,"Steak--﹩2.5a pound."Twenty seconds later the sign in Tom's window said,"Steak--﹩1.00a pound."
The manager of the supermarket ran across the road into Tom's shop."This price cutting must be stopped,"he said,"Steak is costing me﹩4.00apound.I'm sellingitat﹩2.50a pound.I'm losing money every minute!"
"I'll stop cutting all my prices,"Tom said,"If you stop cutting all yours."
The supermarket manager agreed,and the two men shook hands.Tom smiled.He had not lost any money on the steak.He did not sell steak.

分析 全文大意:
Tom是個老板.他有家街角商店.這家商店早上7點營業(yè)直到晚上11點關門,出售各種不同的東西.盡管Tom在店里長時間工作很辛苦,但是他的生意很好他每天感到很幸福.后來在街對面新開了一家超市.這個超市的規(guī)模是Tom商店的十倍.這家超市的經(jīng)理想把Tom的顧客都吸引到他店里來.他得知了Tom貨物的價格然后使他的價格比Tom的低.人們很快就不從Tom店里買東西了,而是從超市里買東西
很快Tom的生意不行了,他非常氣憤.Tom認為這不公平,必須采取措施給超市經(jīng)理一個教訓.超市牛排的價格是每磅5美元,Tom在櫥窗里放了一個牌子上面寫道"牛排每磅4.50美元".第二天超市的牛排價格成了每磅4.25美元.就這樣兩人不停地降價,最后超市的經(jīng)理來到Tom的店里,他說這個價格大戰(zhàn)必須停止了,牛排進價每磅4美元,他按每磅2.50美元出售.每分鐘都在賠錢.Tom說"如果你停止降價,我就停止降價."超市經(jīng)理同意了,兩人握手言和.Tom笑了.他沒有在牛排上損失錢,他根本不賣牛排.

90、細節(jié)理解題         根據(jù)第三段He found out what Tom's prices were and then made his prices lower than Tom's.可知他得知了Tom貨物的價格然后使他的價格比Tom的低,根據(jù)空格前為介詞by后接動詞時接動名詞,故回答為making his/the prices lower than Tom's.
91、細節(jié)理解題         根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段超市經(jīng)理的一番話"This price cutting must be stopped,"he said,"Steak is costing me﹩4.00apound.I'm sellingitat﹩2.50a pound.I'm losing money every minute!"可知他說"必須停止降價了,牛排進價每磅4美元,我按每磅2.50美元出售.每分鐘都在賠錢"可知因為他在賠錢.故回答B(yǎng)ecause he was losing money./Because he lost money.
92、細節(jié)理解題          根據(jù)最后兩段"I'll stop cutting all my prices,"Tom said,"If you stop cutting all yours."The supermarket manager agreed,and the two men shook hands.可知Tom說"如果你停止降價,我就停止降價."超市經(jīng)理同意了,兩人握手言和.可知他們兩個人都同意停止降價,故回答They agreed (that) they both/both of them stopped cutting the prices.
93、推理判斷題         根據(jù)最后一段Tom smiled.He had not lost any money on the steak.He did not sell steak.可知Tom笑了.他沒有在牛排上損失錢,他根本不賣牛排.可推知Tom很聰明.故回答我認為Tom很聰明,我們應該機智地處理生活中的遇到的麻煩,故可回答為I think Tom is (was) smart/clever.We should be smart (clever) in dealing with trouble.
