Question

【題目】Martin Lynch, an American businessman, had been going on vacation to a small Mexican fishing village for a number of years. One morning while going for a walk along the beach, he saw his friend Pablo Perez, a local fisherman. Martin watched Pablo unload the fish from his boat and pack the fish in a box.

Martin noticed Pablo was smiling and looked very happy. He could also see several large fish in the boat. Martin greeted Pablo and asked how long it took to catch the fish. “Just a few hours,” replied Pablo. Martin asked, “Why didn’t you stay longer and catch more fish?” “I have enough for my family,” Pablo said. “And How do you spend the rest of your day?” asked Martin. “I take a nap, play with my children, spend time with my wife, and go into the village to see my friends and play cards, I have a full and busy life.” Martin explained that if Pablo worked longer hours and caught more fish, he could make more money. With the extra（額外的）money, Pablo could buy more boats and catch many more fish. By selling the fish, Pablo could open his own factory and sell direct to supermarkets.

“Then what?” asked Pablo. “Well you would probably have to move to Mexico City to run the business. Finally, you would be able to sell your business and make millions of dollars,” replied Martin. “How long will that take?” asked Pablo.

Martin thought for a while and said it would probably take at least 15 years.

“And then what?” asked Pablo.

“Well, that’s the best part,” Martin said. “You will be able to retire(退休), buy a house near the sea, sleep longer, play with your children, spend more time with your wife, see your friends, and play cards.”

【解析】

試題分析：本文講述了一個(gè)美國(guó)的生意人到墨西哥渡假，他以生意人的角度給當(dāng)?shù)匾粋�(gè)漁民一些建議，讓他如何可以賺更多的錢(qián)，早點(diǎn)退休過(guò)上輕松的生活。

【1】B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)漁夫說(shuō)的話(huà)“I take a nap, play with my children, spend time with my wife, and go into the village to see my friends and play cards, I have a full and busy life.”，故選B。

【2】D歸納理解題。根據(jù)商人馬丁的話(huà)可知如果漁夫多工作幾個(gè)小時(shí)，多捕些魚(yú)，然后就能賺到更多的錢(qián)，開(kāi)工廠(chǎng)等。故選D。

【3】C詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)后文把魚(yú)裝箱，可知是從船上卸下魚(yú)。故選C。

【4】A推理判斷題。漁夫和商人馬丁的對(duì)話(huà)可知生意人以自己的眼光覺(jué)得人應(yīng)該盡力工作，盡力賺更多的錢(qián)，過(guò)上更加輕松的日子。但是漁夫覺(jué)得過(guò)著忙碌充實(shí)的生活，和朋友交流，和家人聚會(huì)就覺(jué)得很滿(mǎn)足。兩人的看法不一樣，所以最后漁夫還是會(huì)堅(jiān)守自己的看法。

【5】D主旨題，本題采用排除法可以在文中直接找出答案。A選項(xiàng)讀完第一句就可以排除，這個(gè)商人和漁民已經(jīng)是朋友了。B和C在文中沒(méi)有任何提及，直接可以排除答案。故選D。
