Question

One day a farmer went out for a walk with his daughter. The farmer put on a pair of wrong shoes－one with a thick sole(鞋底) and the other with a thin one. So as he began to walk, he felt very uncomfortable. When he was just out of the house, he turned to his daughter and said, “Why should one of my legs be longer than the other today?”

The daughter looked at his father’s legs carefully as he was walking, and then laughed, “Oh, no, Daddy, your legs are all right. You have put on the wrong shoes.”

The farmer was very happy to hear that and said to himself, “What a clever daughter I have got!” Then he asked his daughter to go back and get the other pair of shoes for him.

The farmer had only two pairs of shoes. When the daughter ran back to the house, she found that the other pair was also a pair of wrong shoes. She had to return to his father with nothing in her hands and said out of breath, “It’s no use changing them, Daddy! The shoes at home were not a pair, either!”

【解析】

試題分析：本文是一則笑話。一個農(nóng)民穿了兩只底子厚度不同的鞋出門，他感覺自己的腿不一樣長，就讓女兒看是怎么回事，女兒發(fā)現(xiàn)了鞋的問題。農(nóng)民讓女兒回家拿鞋，可是因為他只有兩雙鞋，所以這雙是錯的，那么剩下的兩只也不一樣，因此女兒沒有拿來。

1.The farmer put on a pair of wrong shoes－one with a thick sole(鞋底) and the other with a thin one.可知A pair of wrong shoes指的是一只鞋底厚，一只鞋底薄，兩只不是一雙。故選C。

2.One day a farmer went out for a walk with his daughter. The farmer put on a pair of wrong shoes－one with a thick sole(鞋底) and the other with a thin one.可知他走路不舒服是因為穿的鞋不對，不是一雙。故選C。

3.“Oh, no, Daddy, your legs are all right. You have put on the wrong shoes.”可知他覺得女兒聰明是因為女兒發(fā)現(xiàn)他穿錯了鞋。作者過了40年，才在電話桑聽到琳達(dá)的聲音，她很高興。故選B。

4.When the daughter ran back to the house, she found that the other pair was also a pair of wrong shoes.可知女兒沒有拿鞋來，她知道家里的那一雙也不一樣。故選C。
