【題目】

There lived two twin brothers called Sam and Tom. They were twins, but they were different in some ways. Sam loved sweets and Tom loved to eat spicy food. Sam was mommy's pet and Tom was daddy's pet. While Sam was generous, Tom was greedy!

As they grew up, their father wanted to give his money to his two sons. He wanted to share his money equally. However, Tom did not agree. He wanted more money.

Their father had an idea. He decided to organize a competition between the two brothers. And he ordered the two sons to walk as long as they could. They should return home before sunset. Whoever covered the longer distance and returned home before sunset would get more money. They didn't carry watches to calculate time.

Both started to walk a long way during a sunny day. Sam walked slowly and steadily(穩(wěn)定地). Tom wanted to win over Sam, so he started to run faster.

It was noon and Sam decided to return so that he could reach home on time. However, Tom wanted to earn more money. He did not turn his way back home even in the afternoon. He kept walking on. Unfortunately, he could not get home before sunset. He lost the competition.

【答案】

【4】D

【5】B

【解析】

本文介紹了兄弟倆的不同性格，在下文的比賽中更具體的說(shuō)明了不同的性格特征之所在。湯姆貪婪的一面和山姆慷慨的一面。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。第一段的內(nèi)容介紹了他們雖是雙胞胎，但在某些方面他們是不同的。山姆喜歡甜食，湯姆喜歡吃辛辣的食物。山姆是媽媽的寵兒，湯姆是爸爸的寵兒。雖然山姆很慷慨，湯姆卻貪婪！說(shuō)明了他們具有不同的性格。故選D。

【2】詞意猜測(cè)題。由句子While Sam was generous山姆很慷慨，可知generous是慷慨的意思，那么Tom was greedy!與上句有轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，因此greedy的意思應(yīng)該是與generous的意思相反。因此只有選項(xiàng)B符合文意。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)句子Their father had an idea. He decided to organize a competition between the two brothers. 他們的父親有一個(gè)主意。他決定組織兩兄弟之間的比賽�？芍�，是他們的父親組織的比賽。故選A。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由句子Whoever covered the longer distance and returned home before sunset would get more money. 在日落之前能回家，誰(shuí)走的距離越遠(yuǎn)，誰(shuí)就能得到更多的錢(qián)。而且他們還不能用手表計(jì)算時(shí)間。結(jié)合選項(xiàng)可知，只有D正確。

【5】推理判斷題。本文的第一段就介紹了兄弟倆的不同性格，在下文的比賽中更具體的說(shuō)明了不同的性格特征。因此本文的題目是兩個(gè)孿生兄弟。故選B。
