- 试题详情及答案解析
- 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(项链) 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 work out 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（本金）. 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(要价）$6. 00, people will think that’s abargain.”
“OK. If you sell each necklace for $6, you’ll make a good profit(利润)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.”

【小题4】D- 试题分析：本文叙述了汤姆想要自己挣钱去参加秋季野营旅行。因为他做的项链非常漂亮，于是他想通过卖项链来赚钱。他的姐姐玛丽帮助他计算的做项链所需的成本和利润，他得知自己卖20条项链就有足够的钱去参加秋季野营旅行。
【小题1】推理判断题。根据Mary wrote on the piece of paper:可知玛丽帮助汤姆写下制作项链所需要的成本，因此她这是在帮忙，故选C。
【小题2】词义猜测题。根据here’s a shop in town that sells almost the same kind of necklace for $7.50. If I charge(要价）$6. 00,可知商店里同样的项链卖7.50美元，如果他的项链出价6美元，应是便宜的，故此处指的是便宜货，故选A。
【小题3】推理判断题。根据 “If I sell 20 necklaces, I’ll have enough from the profit for the camping trip and $10. 00 left over.”可知汤姆卖20条项链所挣的钱足够去参加秋天野营旅行，并且还多10美元。根据玛丽列下的内容可知，10条项链的成本是17.5美元，那么20条项链的成本是35美元。每条项链卖6美元，20条项链共120美元。因此20条项链的利润是120-35=85美元。因此去参加秋天野营旅行的费用是85-10=75美元。故选B。
【小题4】标题归纳题。根据“Now, you want to earn money for the autumn camping trip, right?”可知此文是讲汤姆将如何挣钱去参加秋天野营旅行的故事，故选D。
