Question

He made a necklace（項鏈） for his mother that everyone admired（羨慕）. 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（資金）. 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（總計） $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 $7.50. If I charge（要價）$ 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.

【解析】

本文敘述了湯姆想要自己掙錢去參加秋季野營旅行。因為他做的項鏈非常漂亮，于是他想通過賣項鏈來賺錢。他的姐姐瑪麗幫助他計算的做項鏈所需的成本和利潤，他得知自己賣20條項鏈就有足夠的錢去參加秋季野營旅行。

【1】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)Marywroteonthepieceofpaper:可知瑪麗幫助湯姆寫下制作項鏈所需要的成本，因此她這是在幫忙，由此可以推斷出，她是樂于助人的，故選C。

【2】

詞義猜測題。根據(jù)here’sashopintownthatsellsalmostthesamekindofnecklacefor$7.50.IfIcharge(要價）$6.00,可知商店里同樣的項鏈賣7.50美元，如果他的項鏈出價6美元，應(yīng)是便宜的，故此處指的是“便宜貨”，故選A。

【3】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)“IfIsell20necklaces,I’llhaveenoughfromtheprofitforthecampingtripand$10.00leftover.”可知湯姆賣20條項鏈所掙的錢足夠去參加秋天野營旅行，并且還多10美元。根據(jù)瑪麗列下的內(nèi)容可知，10條項鏈的成本是17.5美元，那么20條項鏈的成本是35美元。每條項鏈賣6美元，20條項鏈共120美元。因此20條項鏈的利潤是120-35=85美元。因此去參加秋天野營旅行的費用是85-10=75美元。故選B。

【4】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中“Wonderful!”Tomcried,“IfIsell20necklaces,I’llhaveenoughfromtheprofitforthecampingtripand$10.00leftover.”可知，他從賣的20條項鏈的利潤中扣除了旅行的費用，然后還剩下10美元，故選B。

【5】

最佳標題題。根據(jù)文中“Now,youwanttoearnmoneyfortheautumncampingtrip,right?”可知此文是講湯姆將如何掙錢去參加秋天野營旅行的故事，故選D。
