Question

Mr. Knight was the manager of a hotel. One weekend all of the hotels in the city were full because there was a large meeting. On Friday, three men came into the hotel and asked for rooms. Mr. Knight said there were no rooms ready because of the meeting. The men were unhappy.

Mr. Knight wanted to help them. He remembered that Room 418, a small room, was empty. He asked them if they could share a room. The three men said they would. Mr. Knight said the room would be thirty dollars; ten dollars for each person. Each man gave him the money and then went up to the room.

Mr. Knight soon began to feel sorry. “Thirty dollars is a lot to ask as a price for that small room.” he thought. He called his assistant over and said, “Here is five dollars. Take it to the men in Room 418. I asked too much for their room.”

The assistant took the money. While he was on the way there, he started to think, “How can three men divide five dollars? I’ll give them each only one dollar and keep the two dollars for myself. The men will be happy to get something back. And Mr. Knight will never know.” So the assistant returned one dollar to each man.

Each man had at first paid ten dollars. After the assistant returned them one dollar each, each had actually(in fact) paid nine. There were three men. $9´3="$27." The assistant kept$2. $27+$2="$29." Where is the missing dollar?

試題分析：本文是一篇簡(jiǎn)單的思維訓(xùn)練方面的小短文。

1.C 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第二段1,2行Mr. Knight wanted to help them. He remembered that Room 418, a small room, was empty. He asked them if they could share a room. The three men said they would.說(shuō)明最后這三個(gè)人一起住在一個(gè)小房間里，故C正確。

2.D 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第二段Mr. Knight said the room would be thirty dollars; ten dollars for each person. Each man gave him the money and then went up to the room.說(shuō)明每個(gè)人付了10美元，故Ｄ項(xiàng)正確。

3.B 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)最后一段5,6,7行I’ll give them each only one dollar and keep the two dollars for myself. The men will be happy to get something back. And Mr. Knight will never know.” So the assistant returned one dollar to each man.說(shuō)明這個(gè)人自己扣留了2美元。故B正確。

4.D 推理題。實(shí)際上Mr. Knight得了25美元，那三個(gè)人每個(gè)人付了9美元一共是27美元，

the assistant扣了2美元，根本沒(méi)有所謂的多余的一美元，故D項(xiàng)正確。
