分析 文章大意:两人一起上坐在飞机.他们在经历一个漫长的旅程.其中一人是商人.另一个是农民.他们坐着不说一句话.后来农民建议做些事情来打发时间.商人提出猜谜.商人认为他比农民知道得多,就决定如果他输了将付给农民100美元,如果农民输了则要付给商人50美元.

解答 53-57:DCBDD
53题答案:D 细节题.根据第一句Two men were sitting together in a plane,可知是在飞机上,故答案是D.
54题答案:C 词义猜测题.根据文中第六段的描述That's not fair (公平).You are a businessman with much knowledge.You know more things than I do.I am just a farmer可知"riddle"指的是那些很难找出答案的问题,及"谜",所以该选C.
55题答案:B细节理解题.根据文中的第六段的描述That's not fair (公平).You are a businessman with much knowledge.You know more things than I do.I am just a farmer可知如果那位商人输了愿意付给农民更多的钱,是因为他认为他比农民知道得多,所以该选B.
5题答案:D 细节题.根据最后四句He gave the farmer$100,then he said,"Tell me the answer.""I don't know,"the farmer said.Then he gave the businessman$50.可知农民挣了50元,故答案是D.
57题答案:D 细节理解题.根据文中的倒数第二段The businessman thought for a long time and said,"Mm,that's a good one.I'm afraid I don't know the answer."可知商人不知道 答案,所以D错了,所以该选D.

15.Nowadays,shopping online becomes a new way of shopping.It is getting more and more popular.Many people like doing some shopping through Internet.
Why is shopping online becoming more and more popular?First,it provides lots of advantages(优势).There are many goods(商品) on the Internet.People can find anything they want.The price (价格)on the Internet is usually cheaper than that in the store.People can save some money.Second,more and more people have their own computers and they join their computers with the Internet.So it is possible for many of them to do shopping through the Internet.People don't need to go to the shop themselves.They can save a lot of time.
