Question

【題目】閱讀短文，根據(jù)語(yǔ)篇要求填空，使短文通順，意思完整。每空限填一詞。

An old man went to India. When he got there, he saw some fruit for sale, but most of it was very cheap. 【1】 cheapest thing was a basket of red fruit.

“How much per kilo? the old man asked.

“Two rupees(盧比),” the shopkeeper answered. Two rupees in India is almost nothing, so the old man bought a whole kilogram and started eating it.

However, as soon as he started eating, his mouth began to burn, his eyes began to water, and his whole face became as red 【2】 the fruit. As he coughed and struggled to breathe, he jumped up and down, screaming: “Ah! Ah! Ah!”

And yet he continued to eat the fruit. Some people 【3】 were looking at him shook their heads and said, “You are crazy! Those are chili peppers (辣椒)! You can’t just eat them by the handful!”

The old man said to 【4】, “I paid for them, so I must eat them.”

This old man seemed pretty stupid. But are we so much smarter? All of us have spent money and time on something--maybe a relationship, or a business, or a job- -and sometimes, even if we know there’s no hope that things will change, we still continue with it.

What we can learn 【5】the old man is this: if you’ve lost a lot over something that doesn’t work, let it go and move on. It’s better than continuing to lose.

本文講述了這樣一個(gè)故事，一個(gè)老人圖便宜，買了一籃子紅色水果，當(dāng)他吃的時(shí)候他感覺(jué)嘴在燃燒，眼睛開始流眼淚，別人告訴他這是辣椒，不能這樣吃，但是因?yàn)樗�花錢買了，他堅(jiān)持要吃完。這個(gè)故事告訴我們這樣一個(gè)道理，有時(shí)候我們雖然花錢了，但是那些東西如果不起作用，不如就此放手。

【1】句意：最便宜的是一籃子紅色水果。

根據(jù)本句“…cheapest thing was a basket of red fruit.”可知，最便宜的是一籃子紅色水果。cheapest最高級(jí)前面需要用定冠詞the修飾，表示特指，最便宜的，位于句首，首字母要大寫，故答案為The。

【2】句意：但是，當(dāng)他一開始吃的時(shí)候，他感覺(jué)嘴在燃燒，眼睛開始流眼淚，整個(gè)臉像水果一樣紅。

根據(jù)本句“However, as soon as he started eating, his mouth began to burn, his eyes began to water, and his whole face became as red…the fruit.”可知，但是，當(dāng)他一開始吃的時(shí)候，他感覺(jué)嘴在燃燒，眼睛開始流眼淚，整個(gè)臉像水果一樣紅。as…as…同級(jí)比較，和……一樣，臉像紅辣椒一樣紅，故答案為as。

【3】句意：正看著老人的一些人不斷地?fù)u頭并且說(shuō)，“你瘋了�。∧切┦抢苯�。你不能這樣一把一把的吃�！�

根據(jù)本句“Some people…were looking at him shook their heads and said…”可知，正看著老人的一些人不斷地?fù)u頭并且說(shuō)了一些話。這是一個(gè)定語(yǔ)從句，先行詞是people，關(guān)系詞應(yīng)該選擇who，代替people在從句中做主語(yǔ)，故答案為who。

【4】句意：這個(gè)老人對(duì)自己說(shuō)，“我花錢買它們了，我必須吃完它們�！�

根據(jù)本句“The old man said to…I paid for them, so I must eat them.”可知，這個(gè)老人對(duì)自己說(shuō)，“我花錢買它們了，我必須吃完它們。”老人對(duì)于別人的勸告不以為然，堅(jiān)持吃完，體現(xiàn)出固執(zhí)，自己對(duì)自己說(shuō)，他自己himself，故答案為himself。

【5】句意：我們能從老人那里學(xué)到的是這個(gè)：有時(shí)候我們花了一大筆錢買了沒(méi)有用的東西，不如就此放手。

根據(jù)本句“What we can learn…the old man is this…”可知，我們能從老人那里學(xué)到的是這個(gè)。learn from sb, 從某人身上學(xué)到什么，故答案為from。
