　　名师点评

　　本文讲述了一个聪明的小男孩的故事。他要求加入一位富人的旅行，在得到同意后 选择担子时，看似愚蠢地选择了最大、最重的担子。而这恰恰就是他的聪明之处，因为他所挑的面包在途中是被边走边吃的，到达目的地时已所剩无几。阅读这故选foolish。篇文章时要注意句子的整体理解，如第8、9、10这三题。

　　答案简析

　　1. B。这位富人不仅带了东西去卖，而且带钱去“买”东西。解这道题时要注意将句中and前后的内容进行比较。

　　2. A。根据他的想法，他“决定”要带十个仆人。这件事完全可以由他自己决定，所以没有必要“希望带……”或“努力带……”，故C、D不合题意。

　　3. C。carry在句中意为“携带、运送”；take 意为“带走”；bring意为“带来”。本句意为“他们将运送要卖的东西和在路上要吃的食物”。下文的第10、11两题所在的句子也有提示。

　　4. B。参照第3题。

　　5. D。一个小男孩来找这位富人，要求和他们一起走，故选 the rich man。

　　6. C。参照第5题。

　　7. A。富人同意小男孩随行。

　　8. D。此句和上文是转折关系,意为“但是你是我的仆人中最小的、最瘦的、最弱的一个，你不能挑重担”，故选but。

　　9. C。参照第8题。

　　10. A。参照第8题。

　　11. B。此句意为“你要选择挑最轻的担子”，“pick up”意为“捡起”，不合文意，故选choose。

　　12. D。主人看到这个小仆人选择了最重的担子，感到他很“愚蠢”，故选foolish。。

　　13. B。听了主人的话，小男孩“什么也没说”，而是高兴地挑起了担

　　子。

　　14. C。由于小男孩的聪明，“除了”他自己，其他仆人都累坏了。

　　15. D。Do you know why? 用在文章最后用来引出原因，告诉读者其中的奥妙。

　　What is eBay? The simple answer is that it is a global trading platform where nearly anyone can trade practically anything. People can sell and buy all kinds of products and goods，including cars, movies and DVDs, sporting goods, travel tickets, musical instruments, clothes and shoes — the list goes on and on.

　　The idea came from Pierre Omidyar, who was born in Paris and moved to Washington when he was still a child. At high school, he became very interested in computer programming and after graduating from Tufts University in 1988, he worked for the next few years as a computer engineer. In his free time he started eBay as a kind of hobby, at first offering the service free by word of mouth. By 1996 there was so much traffic on the website that he had to upgrade(升级) and he began charging a fee to members. Joined by a friend, Peter Skoll, and in 1998 by his capable CEO, Meg Whitman, he_has_never_looked_back. Even in the great.com crashes of the late 1990s, eBay has gone from strength to strength. It is now one of the ten most visited online shopping websites on the Internet.

　　eBay sells connections, not goods, putting buyer and seller into contact with each other. All you have to do is take an ephoto, write a description, fill out a sales form and you are in business; the world is your market place. Of course for each item (商品)sold eBay gets a percentage and that is a great deal of money. Every day there are more than sixteen million items listed on eBay and eighty percent of the items are sold.

　　[语篇解读]　文章向我们介绍了eBay网的一些情况。

　　1．We learn from the text that eBay provides people with ________.

　　A. a way of buying and selling goods

　　B. a website for them to upgrade

　　C. a place to exhibit their own photos

　　D. a chance to buy things at low prices

　　[解析]　根据第一段内容可知。

　　[答案]　A

　　2．Why did Pierre create eBay after graduating from university?

　　A. For fun.

　　B. To make money.

　　C. For gathering the engineers.

　　D. To fulfill a task of his company.

　　[解析]　由第二段第三句话可知。

　　[答案]　A

　　3．From “he has never looked back ”in Paragraph 2 we learn that Pierre________.

　　A. did not feel lonely

　　B. was always hopeful

　　C. did not think about the past

　　D. became more and more successful

　　[解析]　Peter由原来的业余爱好开始，逐步走向成功，创建了世界知名网站。

　　[答案]　D

　　4．How does eBay make money from its website?

　　A. By bringing sellers together.

　　B. By charging for each sale.

　　C. By listing items online.

　　D. By making ephotos.

　　[解析]　由最后一段第一句话可知，这个网站通过提供交易平台，然后收取适当的服务费。因此B项正确。

　　[答案]　B

　　认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。

　　注意：每空格1个单词。

　　A long story about people is usually called a novel. It can be about any kind of man, woman, or child. It can be about kings, or Chicago newsboys, or housewives. The French writer, Victor Hugo, wrote his novel Les Miserables about a poor man who stole a loaf of bread. The American writer, Ernest Hemingway, wrote A Farewell to Arms about a young American with the Italian Army in World War One.

　　A novel can tell the story of any kind of action, over any period of time. The modern Irish writer, James, Joyce, covers less than twenty- four hours in Ulysses. Yet, Joyce takes a thousand pages to tell all that happens from the time one man gets up in the morning until he goes to bed early the next morning. A German writer, Herman Hesse, uses only one hundred and fifty pages in his novel Demian to cover a boy’s life from the age of ten until he becomes a young man.

　　A novel does not just tell the things that people do. It also tells why they do them. The Badge of Courage, by the American novelist, Stephen Crane, tells about a young soldier in the War between the states who runs away the first time he is in battle. The book shows why he acted as he did. It describes his mental suffering until he overcomes his fears.

　　People buy novels because they enjoy reading about other people. The novel satisfies the human desire to know and understand our fellow creatures.
