题目内容
Mr. Knight was the manager of a hotel. One weekend all of the hotels in the city were full because there was a large meeting. On Friday, three men came into the hotel and asked for rooms. Mr. Knight said there were no rooms ready because of the meeting. The men were unhappy.
Mr. Knight wanted to help them. He remembered that Room 418, a small room, was empty. He asked them if they could share a room. The three men said they would. Mr. Knight said the room would be thirty dollars; ten dollars for each person. Each man gave him the money and then went up to the room.
Mr. Knight soon began to feel sorry. “Thirty dollars is a lot to ask as a price for that small room.” he thought. He called his assistant over and said, “Here is five dollars. Take it to the men in Room 418. I asked too much for their room.”
The assistant took the money. While he was on the way there, he started to think, “How can three men divide five dollars? I’ll give them each only one dollar and keep the two dollars for myself. The men will be happy to get something back. And Mr. Knight will never know.” So the assistant returned one dollar to each man.
Each man had at first paid ten dollars. After the assistant returned them one dollar each, each had actually(in fact) paid nine. There were three men. $9´3="$27." The assistant kept$2. $27+$2="$29." Where is the missing dollar?

解析试题分析：这是一篇有趣的文章，有点象脑筋急转弯，三个人住一个房间，一人付10美元，Mr. Knight退还5美元，还有2美元被助手扣留了，钱是正好的。
【小题1】C 细节题。根据第二段The three men said they would. Mr. Knight said the room would be thirty dollars; ten dollars for each person. Each man gave him the money and then went up to the room.说明这三个人住在了一个小房间里，故C正确。
【小题2】D 细节题。根据第二段第三行ten dollars for each person.说明每个人都付了10美元。故D正确。
【小题3】B 细节题。根据第四段后三行I’ll give them each only one dollar and keep the two dollars for myself. The men will be happy to get something back. And Mr. Knight will never know.” So the assistant returned one dollar to each man.说明他并没有把五美元都分给这三个人，而是自己留了2美元。故B正确。
【小题4】D 计算题。本题是一个计算题，实际上每个客人付了9美元，一共是27美元。Mr. Knight收了25美元，还有2美元被助手扣留了，并没有所谓的丢失的一美元。故D说法正确。
