A
There was once a jeweler, known for many virtues. One day, the Jewish elders came to him to buy some
diamonds to decorate part of the dress of their high priest (神父，牧师), which the Bible calls an ephod.
They told him what they wanted, and offered him a fair price for the diamonds. He replied that he could not let
them see the jewels at that moment, and requested them to call again.
As they wanted them without delay, and thought that the object of the jeweler was only to increase the price of
the diamonds, the elders offered him twice, then three times, as much as they were worth. But he still refused, and
they went away angrily.
Some hours after, he went to them, and placed before them the diamonds, for which they again offered him the
last price they had named, but he said, “I will only accept the first one you offered to me this morning.”
“Why, then, did you not close with us at once?” asked they in surprise. “When you came,” replied he, “my
father had the key of the box, in which the diamonds were kept, and as he was asleep, I should have been obliged to
wake him to obtain them. At his age, a short hour of sleep does him a great deal of good, and for all the gold in the
world, I would not be wanting in respect to my father, or take from him a single comfort.”
The elders, affected by these feeling words, spread their hands upon the jeweler’s head, and said, “Thou shalt
be blessed of Him who has said: Honor thy father and thy mother, and thy children shall one day pay thee the same
respect and love thou hast shown to thy father.”
1. Why did not the jeweler give two elders the diamonds at first?
A. He wanted a higher price B. He had to get his father’s permission.
C. He didn’t have them in the shop then. D. He didn’t have the key to the container.
2. What the underlined part might mean?
A. You will get as many honors as you want. B. Your children will live a rich and respectable life.
C. You and your family are blessed by God. D. Your father will live a long and healthy life.
3. What might be the best title of the passage?
A. A devoted son B. An honest businessman
C. A reasonable price D. A luxurious dress
【答案】1. D 2. C 3. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位珠宝商为了不打扰自己的父亲睡觉，而推迟做生意的故事。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“my father had the key of the box, in which the diamonds were kept, and as he
was asleep, I should have been obliged to wake him to obtain them.(我父亲拿着放钻石的盒子的钥匙，因为他睡
着了，我不得不叫醒他去取钻石)”可知，珠宝商一开始不把钻石给两位长老是因为他没有箱子的钥匙。故
选D。
【2题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“One day, the Jewish elders came to him to buy some diamonds to decorate part of the
dress of their high priest (神父，牧师), which the Bible calls an ephod.(有一天，犹太长老来找他，想买一些钻
石来装饰他们大祭司的衣服，圣经称之为以弗得)”以及划线词上文“The elders, affected by these feeling
words”可知，这些牧师长老们被这些充满感情的话感动了，所以是祝福珠宝商和他的家人了。由此可知，
划线部分意思是“你和你的家人受到上帝的祝福”。故选 C。
【3题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The elders, affected by these feeling words, spread their hands upon the jeweler’s
head, and said, “Thou shalt be blessed of Him who has said: Honor thy father and thy mother, and thy children shall
one day pay thee the same respect and love thou hast shown to thy father.”(长老们被这些充满感情的话感动了，
他们把手放在珠宝商的头上，说：“你将受到上帝的祝福，上帝说：‘孝敬你的父母，你的孩子终有一天
会像你孝敬你的父亲一样孝敬你。’”)”可知，文章主要讲述了一位珠宝商为了不打扰自己的父亲睡觉，
而推迟做生意的故事。由此可知，A选项“孝顺的儿子”最符合文章标题。故选 A。
B
Health officials in Canada are very busy these days. They are placing chickens at fixed points all along their
border with the United States of America. That’s an enormous distance of 2,500 km.
It’s not a practical joke, nor have the Canadians gone mad. They are using these chickens to see if the deadly
West Nile virus is lurking around. The virus infects birds, so they think that the chickens have a good chance of
catching the virus. Or the virus will catch the chickens.
Countries around the world are realizing something important. That it may just be possible to stop certain
kinds of people from entering their land, but it is very difficult to try and stop viruses that travel from one end of
the earth to another. When they travel to new places, they adjust very easily to those climates and sometimes start
destroying the local plant and animal life. These biological polluters are called smart polluters.
These smart polluters can be carried across borders of countries unknowingly. Just as we humans are travelling
across the globe more often than earlier, these biological polluters have also started journeying much more. They
slide into aircraft through their wheels. They bore their way into objects that air travelers may be carrying from one
country to another.
Suddenly, a lot of things become clearer. Like why the customs officials in many foreign countries prevent you
from bringing in a small plant, or a decorative item made of wood that is in its natural form… They tell you that it’s
in the rules.
They have these rules because they know that these varieties of plants that are special to specific places have
the power to spread new diseases among native plants and animals. They are called biological polluters and they
always create problems in places where they do not belong. They could be special varieties of plants, bugs or even
animals.
4. Why did the author talk about what Canadian officials’ are doing?
A. To introduce a successful case B. To arouse readers’ curiosity
C. To describe a phenomenon D. To introduce the topic
5. Which of the following can’t be called smart polluters?
A. Tiger mosquitoes from Asia are busy biting Americans.
B. Pandas from China are wining millions of American’s hearts.
C. The small lobsters from Mexico are taking over most of lakes in America.
D. Tree snakes from New Guinea are busy eating up bird varieties in the country of Guam.
6. What might be the main reason for more and more smart polluters?
A. A lot of profit can be made from introducing foreign species.
B. People want to add more species to their surroundings.
C. People nowadays travel overseas more frequently.
D. There are more domestic flights than before.
7. What’s the purpose of writing this passage?
A. To convince B. To warn C. To inform D. To entertain
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了有关生物污染者的概况。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“It’s not a practical joke, nor have the Canadians gone mad. They are using these
chickens to see if the deadly West Nile virus is lurking around.(这不是恶作剧，加拿大人也没有发疯。他们正在
用这些鸡来观察致命的西尼罗河病毒是否潜伏在周围。)”和第三段“Countries around the world are
