【解析】

本文讲述了一个聪明的商人在旅行的途中，巧妙地把钱放在小偷的包里而躲过了钱被偷的命运。故事我们做事要多动脑筋，要多想办法。

【1】B。talk谈论；learn了解；think思考；speak说；当小偷了解到这个信息以后，决定把这笔钱偷走。与“谈论、思考以及说”无关。故B正确。

【2】C。keep保持；borrow借入；steal偷；put放；当小偷了解到这个信息以后，决定把这笔钱偷走。既然文章中提到了小偷，自然是C项正确。

【3】C。new新的；common普通的；strange奇怪的；dangerous危险的；指这个商人感觉到一些奇怪的事情，有人要偷钱。在偷钱之前，小偷通常都会有一些观察行动，这让商人警觉。故C正确。

【4】D。care关心；love爱；need需要；attention注意力；动词短语pay attention to…意为“注意到……”；因为商人感觉有点奇怪，所以他就开始注意这个小偷。故D正确。

【5】A would愿意；could能够；should应该；must必须；商人问小偷是否愿意去找水。情态动词would表示个人的愿望。故A正确。

【6】B carry on继续进行；look for寻找；watch over监视；bring about带来；当小偷去找水的时候，他把钱放到小偷的包里。与前句他问小偷是否愿意去找水相一致。故B正确。

【7】C。考查上下文串联。goods货物；food食物；money钱；clothes衣服；根据文章最后一段“I didn’t know you had money on the __20__.”可知，他是把钱放在了小偷的包里。故C正确。

【8】D。how如何；what什么；where哪里；that作连接词没有实际意义。小偷去找水，回来告诉商人水在哪里。where引导一个宾语从句。故D正确。

【9】A。as soon as一……就……；as far as至于，远到；as well as和……一样；as long as只要；本句中as soon as引导时间状语从句。商人一离开去找水，他就开始搜寻钱。故A正确。

【10】B。hide藏；search寻找；explore探索；change改变；小偷就是来偷钱的，那个商人一离开去找水，他就开始搜寻钱。故B正确。

【11】D。save挽救，节省；plan计划；own拥有；want想要；因为商人把钱放在了他的包里，所以他自然没有找到他想要的东西。故D正确。

【12】C。frightened害怕的；angry生气的；surprised惊讶的；nervous紧张的；根据文章第一句A businessman, with a lot of money, was walking through a remote(偏远的) area.可知，小偷知道商人带着很多钱。所以这次虽然没有找到钱，他感觉很惊讶，但仍然没有放弃。故C正确。

【13】B。drink喝；walk步行；rest休息；discuss讨论；指他们步行了很长的时间，结果都累了。故B正确。

【14】C。sit坐；stand站；sleep睡觉；stop停止；根据上一题可知，他们都走了很长时间，都很累了，于是那个商人累了就在大树下面睡着了。故C正确。

【15】D。agree同意；wish希望；doubt怀疑；believe认为；小偷仍然没有找到钱，连续两次都没有找到，就认为这个商人没有带钱。故D正确。

【16】C。put放；get得到；reach伸出；break折断；动词短语reach in…意为“把手伸进……”，指那个商人把手伸进对方的包里把钱取了出来。故C正确。

【17】D。rightly正确地，正是；luckily幸运地；really实际上；formerly以前；之前他把钱放在小偷的包里了，现在他把以前放进包里的钱拿了出来。故D正确。

【18】A。buy购买；wear配戴；have拥有；show展示；小偷看到这个商人买了很多的珠宝。商人有钱购买，与BCD三项语义不搭配。故A正确。

【19】B。can’t help doing sth忍不住做某事。小偷忍不住问对方：“我不知道你旅行的时候还带着钱啊。”故B正确。

【20】A。trip旅行；visit参观；holiday假期；business生意；我不知道在旅行的时候，你还带着钱。根据文章第一句A businessman, with a lot of money, was walking through a remote (偏远的) area.可知，这位商人来到偏远地区，可以算是一次旅行。故A正确。
