Question

【題目】There was once a young man called Paul in a village in the USA. Paul was very lazy because his father was a rich farmer and he didn’t have to work. Mr Smith, a neighbour of his, was a blacksmith (鐵匠). He used to work in his shop all day. Paul spent hours and hours watching how the blacksmith worked every day. “Young man, why don’t you try your hand to make a shoe tack (鐵釘), even it is only to pass the time?” said the blacksmith one day, “ Maybe it will be useful to you some day.” Finally, the lazy boy began to have a try. After practicing some times, he became skilled and could make very nice tacks.

Years later, Paul’s father died and he lost all the things because of a war (戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)). He had to move to another country and live by himself. It happened that there were many shoemakers paying high prices to buy tacks for the shoes, because in that part of the country there was a great need of tacks for soldiers’ shoes. Paul went to talk with them. He told them that he would make the tacks if they could help him find a workshop in the village. The shoemakers agreed. Then Paul made a lot of money by making tacks. “How funny it is!” he said to himself, “Even by making shoe tacks, one can become rich.”

試題分析：短文大意：保羅跟鄰居學(xué)會(huì)了制作鞋釘，多年以后，因?yàn)閼?zhàn)爭(zhēng)失去了一切的保羅搬到了另一個(gè)國(guó)家，一個(gè)意外的機(jī)會(huì)，他靠制作鞋釘這個(gè)手藝擺脫了貧窮，致了富。可知此文主要是說你學(xué)的每件事情都可能有用

【1】A此意猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)句意（經(jīng)過一段時(shí)間練習(xí)，他變得非常熟練并且能做很好的鞋釘）可知skilled的意思是熟練的，故選A。

【2】B推理判斷題。根據(jù)全文描述文中除了Paul還出現(xiàn)了his father、Mr. Smith、shoe makers、soldiers，所以又出現(xiàn)了四種人，故選B。

【3】D主旨大意題。從文中描述可知此文主要是說的是你學(xué)的每件事情都可能有用，故選D。
