分析 有个人一直在寻找古代的东西.一天,他来到一个村庄,发现了一个蓝色的碗.这个碗看起来很旧了.这个碗地上放着,一只猫正在喝碗里的牛奶.猫的主人是个农夫,他正坐在碗的旁边.那个人不想让农夫知道自己对这个碗感兴趣.所以他对农夫说:"这是一只多么可爱的猫啊!你能把它卖给我吗?"
农夫回答说:"你能支付多少钱呢?"
那个人说:"30美元,足够了吧?"
过了一会,这个农夫同意了.当那人把钱付给了农夫,他对农夫说,"这只猫习惯于用这碗吃东西了,我能把这碗和猫一起带走吗?"
但是农夫说:"抱歉,我不能把碗给你.多亏了这个碗,我已经用它卖了30只猫!"

解答 66.C.句意理解题.根据A man was looking for things of the old times,可知这里的意思是有个人一直在寻找古代的东西,从这里可以看出他喜欢收藏古代的东西.故选C.
67.C.细节理解题.根据The man did not want the farmer to know that he was interested in the bowl.可知那个人不想让农夫知道自己对这个碗感兴趣.所以他对农夫说想买猫,那样的话就会很简单的拿走那只碗.故选C.
68.答案:B.细节理解题.根据This cat is used to eating with his bowl.May I take this bowl with the cat可知这里那个人对农夫说我可以把这个碗也带走让猫用它吃饭吗,从那个人的话中可以推测出他认为农夫不知道碗的价值.故选B.
69.B.推理判断题.根据Thanks to the bowl,I have sold thirty cats可知这里的意思是多亏了这个碗,我已经用它卖30只猫了,从这里看出他留着那碗是为了卖更多只猫,故选B.
70.C.主旨大意题.根据文意可知这个人想用买下猫的方法间接地得到那只碗,但这个农民早已知道这碗的价值,看穿了这个男人的心机,他要留着这碗继续用它来卖猫赚钱,从这里可以看出农夫更聪明.故选C.

点评 本文的意思比较简单明确,在阅读时应注意商人的策略以及农民的睿智.解答时,掌握全文的大意之后,细细阅材料后的问题,弄清每题要求后,带着问题,再回到原文中去寻找、捕获有关信息.
