Question

Mary picked up a pencil and a piece of paper，saying，“Now，you want to earn money for the autumn camping trip，right?” Tom，her brother，nodded．He wasn’t able to go last year because he hadn’t earned enough money during the summer．This year he came up with a plan．
He made a necklace for his mother that everyone admired．They were surprised to learn that Tom had made it for her．Why not make more necklaces and sell them?
“OK，” said Mary，“The first thing you need to do is to figure out（計(jì)算）how much you have now．’’
“I have $20.00 in the bank，and $7.25 in my room，” explained Tom．
“That gives you a total of $27.25，” said Mary，“That is called your capital．The next thing you need to know is how much it will cost you to make each necklace．”
“Well，the pet shop will give me all the feathers the birds lose．I'll have to buy the beads（小珠子）and string，” said Tom．
Mary wrote on the piece of paper：
CAPITAL      $27.25
EXPENSES     Feathers                       no cost
String for 10 necklaces        $  2.50
Beads for 10 necklaces   +    $ 15.00
Total                        $ 17.50
“How much do you think you can sell such a necklace for?” asked Mary．
“Hmm，” Tom looked thoughtful and said，“There's a shop in town that sells almost the same kind of necklace for $ 7.50．If I charge（要價(jià)）$ 6.00，people will think that's a bargain．”
“OK．If you sell each necklace for $ 6.00，you'll make a good profit（利潤）on each then，” said Mary．
“Hurray!” Tom cried，“If I sell 20 necklaces，I'll have enough from the profit for the camping trip and $10.00 left over．”

【小題1】A

解析試題分析：本文講述提湯姆想去旅行但是沒有足夠的錢，通過一次偶然給母親送項(xiàng)鏈，想到為別人做項(xiàng)鏈可以賺錢的方法。
【小題1】A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段得知There's a shop in town that sells almost the same kind of necklace for $ 7.50．If I charge（要價(jià)）$ 6.00，people will think that's a bargain．同樣的項(xiàng)鏈在商店里賣7.5美元，如果我要價(jià)6美元，人們認(rèn)為是這很便宜的。故選A項(xiàng)。
【小題2】D 推斷題。20條項(xiàng)鏈賣120美元，成本 17.5*2=35，故利潤是85美元，根據(jù)文中提到If I sell 20 necklaces，I'll have enough from the profit for the camping trip and $10.00 left over．利潤就足夠還剩下10美元，故花費(fèi)85-10=75，所以選D項(xiàng)。
【小題3】D主旨大意。本文提到湯姆沒有賺到足夠的錢去旅行，然后想到賣項(xiàng)鏈可以賺錢，如何通過賣項(xiàng)鏈來夠旅行的花費(fèi)。所以選D項(xiàng)。
