Passage 3
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 !"

試題分析：這篇短文為我們講述的是兩個不愛動腦筋的人。李叔叔和王叔叔兩人工作都很努力，但就是仍然很窮，不像別人那樣會賺錢。文中還舉了一個例子，兩人想去城里賣蘋果，結(jié)果城里的蘋果太多了，兩人只好低價把蘋果賣了，又賠了不少錢。最終兩個人也沒有找到他們窮的原因。
小題1:細節(jié)理解題。他們兩個還住在又矮又破的房子里是因為They're both poor，他們兩個都很窮。故選B。
小題2:推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第二段的內(nèi)容可知，李叔叔在去城里買藥的時候聽說城里蘋果很貴，回來馬上告訴王叔叔。他們兩人借錢買了很多蘋果，拉到城里賣， 其目的就是想賺錢。make a profit 賺錢。故選D。
小題3:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中A lot of apples has already been carried there when they arrived，當(dāng)他們兩人到了的時候，很多蘋果已經(jīng)運到了城里。所以他們不得不低價把自己的蘋果賣掉。故選C。
小題4:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中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)。他們不高興是因為賣蘋果這件事又讓他們蒙受了很大的損失。故選A。
小題5:推理判斷題。故事中的兩個人在賣蘋果這件事上又賠錢了，但他們卻怪是拖拉機太小了，拉去的蘋果太少了，還要換成卡車運送蘋果�？梢姸瞬]有找到自己窮困的真正原因，故他們兩個都不是聰明人。所以選C。
