老師點評

本文講述了一個聰明的小男孩的故事。他要求加入一位富人的旅行，在得到同意后 選擇擔子時，看似愚蠢地選擇了最大、最重的擔子。而這恰恰就是他的聰明之處，因為他所挑的面包在途中是被邊走邊吃的，到達目的地時已所剩無幾。閱讀這故選foolish。篇文章時要注意句子的整體理解，如第8、9、10這三題。

答案簡析

1. B。這位富人不僅帶了東西去賣，而且帶錢去“買”東西。解這道題時要注意將句中and前后的內容進行比較。

2. A。根據他的想法，他“決定”要帶十個仆人。這件事完全可以由他自己決定，所以沒有必要“希望帶……”或“努力帶……”，故C、D不合題意。

3. C。carry在句中意為“攜帶、運送”;take意為“帶走”;bring意為“帶來”。本句意為“他們將運送要賣的東西和在路上要吃的食物”。下文的第10、11兩題所在的句子也有提示。

4. B。參照第3題。

5. D。一個小男孩來找這位富人，要求和他們一起走，故選 the rich man。

6. C。參照第5題。

7. A。富人同意小男孩隨行。

8. D。此句和上文是轉折關系,意為“但是你是我的仆人中最小的、最瘦的、最弱的一個，你不能挑重擔”，故選but。

9. C。參照第8題。

10. A。參照第8題。

11. B。此句意為“你要選擇挑最輕的擔子”，“pick up”意為“撿起”，不合文意，故選choose。

12. D。主人看到這個小仆人選擇了最重的擔子，感到他很“愚蠢”，故選foolish。。

13. B。聽了主人的話，小男孩“什么也沒說”，而是高興地挑起了擔

子。

14. C。由于小男孩的聰明，“除了”他自己，其他仆人都累壞了。

15. D。Do you know why? 用在文章最后用來引出原因，告訴讀者其中的奧妙。
