Question

【题目】A smuggler(走私犯) drove to the border. When a soldier looked in the truck， he was surprised to find six big bags.

“What’s in them?” the soldier asked.

“Dirt，” the smuggler answered.

“Take them out，” the soldier said. “I want to check them.”

The smuggler opened the bags， and sure enough， each one of them was filled with dirt. So the soldier let him go.

A week later， the smuggler came back， and once again， the soldier looked in the truck.

“What’s in the bags this time?” he asked.

“Dirt， more dirt，” said the smuggler.

Not believing him， the soldier checked the bags and， once again， he found nothing but dirt.

The same thing happened every week for six months， and the soldier finally became so frustrated(沮丧的) that he left and worked as a waiter in a restaurant. Then one night， the smuggler went to the restaurant and had a drink. The waiter saw him and said， “Listen! Drinks are free tonight if you tell me what you were smuggling all that time.”

Slowly， the smuggler got close to the waiter and said， “Trucks.”

【解析】

试题分析：一个走私犯开车来到边境，哨兵迎了上去。哨兵在检查汽车行李箱时，惊奇地发现了六个大口袋。“里面装的是什么？”他问道。“土。”司机回答。“把袋子拿出来”，哨兵命令道：“我要检查。” 那人顺从地把口袋搬了出来。确实，口袋里除了土以外，别无他特。哨兵很不情愿地让他通过了。同样的事情每周重演一次，一共持续了六个月。最后，哨兵被弄得灰心丧气，干脆辞职去当了酒吧侍者。有天夜里，那个形迹可疑的人碰巧途经酒吧，下车喝酒。那位从前的哨兵急忙迎上前去对他说，“我说，老兄，你要是能帮我一个忙，今晚的酒就归我请客。你能不能告诉我，那段时间你到底在走私什么东西？” 那人俯身过来，凑近侍者的耳朵，裂开嘴笑嘻嘻地说：“汽车。”

【1】C考查细节理解题。根据文中第一段第二句When a soldier looked in the truck， he was surprised to find six big bags.可知第一次士兵发现了走私者的卡车上有六个袋子。故选C。

【2】C考查细节理解题。根据文中第十一行Not believing him， the soldier checked the bags and， once again， he found nothing but dirt.可知士兵检查了，除了土什么没发现。故选C。

【3】A考查细节理解题。根据十二三行The same thing happened every week for six months， and the soldier finally became so frustrated(沮丧的) that he left and worked as a waiter in a restaurant.可知六个月每周相同情况发生，除了土什么没发现。可知这个士兵不能找到走私犯走私的什么，故沮丧。所以选A。

【4】C考查细节理解题。根据文中“Listen! Drinks are free tonight if you tell me what you were smuggling all that ti me.”（ 我说，老兄，你要是能帮我一个忙，今晚的酒就归我请客。你能不能告诉我，那段时间你到底走私什么？）和最后一句Slowly， the smuggler got close to the waiter and said， “Trucks.”（ 那人俯身过来，凑近侍者的耳朵，裂开嘴笑嘻嘻地说：“汽车。”）可知选C。

【5】D考查细节理解题。A. An advertising book. 一本广告的书；B. A poster. 一张海报；C. A fashion magazine. 一本时尚杂志。D. A joke book. 一本笑话书。根据主要内容可知是个笑话。故选D。
