Question

19．Here comes a story that many years ago a man arrived at a village in India to catch monkeys so he could sell them to zoos．The monkeys，however，were very clever and every sort of trap he set failed．A young boy watched the man's pathetic efforts and laughed．
The man said，"If you can catch me a monkey，I'll give you﹩2．That was a huge amount of money then．The boy went to his home and took a clay pot with a narrow neck．He placed a few nuts around the pot and put lots of nuts inside．He then tied the pot to a tree and told the man，"We should have a rest in a few hours．Let's wait in the village．The monkey will call us when he is ready．"Certainly enough，a band of monkeys soon discovered the nuts and the pot．One slipped his hand in the pot and grabbed a handful of nuts，but he couldn't pull his hand out of the narrow opening of the pot because his fist（拳頭） was clenched．The monkey feared and started making loud noises．Some of the other monkeys tried unsuccessfully to pull the pot off his hand．The boy and the man heard the noises and the boy got a big strong bag．As they approached the monkeys they all ran away except the one with its hand in the pot．The boy grabbed the monkey and the pot．The man was amazed and asked the boy the secret of his monkey trap，"Why was it so easy for the monkey to get his hand in but so hard to get it out？"The boy laughed and said，"The monkey could have easily got his hand back out and escaped，but he would have had to let go of the nuts in the pot and he just wasn't willing to let go．They never are．"What lessons can be learned from this story？Do people sometimes trap themselves by holding onto things that they should let go？Do you？

分析 本文通過一個(gè)捉猴子的故事，告訴我們有時(shí)候，我們不放棄某種東西反而會(huì)使我們受困．

解答 25．D，詞義猜測(cè)題，根據(jù)后文句子The monkey could have easily got his hand back out and escaped，but he would have had to let go of the nuts in the pot and he just wasn't willing to let go可知，猴子只要把手里的堅(jiān)果放開就能很容易地把手拿出來，可以推測(cè)clenched的意思就是"拳頭緊握著"，故答案為D．
26．B，細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)句子The monkey could have easily got his hand back out and escaped，but he would have had to let go of the nuts in the pot and he just wasn't willing to let go可見，猴子的手拿不出來是因?yàn)槲罩鴪?jiān)果，故答案為B．
27．A，推理判斷題，男孩是答應(yīng)抓一只猴子，那個(gè)男人就支付2美元，因此男孩開始設(shè)計(jì)方法抓猴子，而不是戲弄那個(gè)男人，因此答案為A．
28．C，主旨大意題，本文通過一個(gè)罐子捉猴子的故事，告訴我們有時(shí)候，我們不放棄某種東西反而會(huì)使我們受困，因此主要是關(guān)于猴子和罐子，故答案為C．
