He saw one basket,a big basket of some very red,long fruit. And it was the cheapest in the shop,not expensive at all.

      So he 4  and asked,^“ How much per kilo?^ And the shop- keeper said，“ Two rupees (印度货币) .” Two rupees in India was 5  ; it's like dirt (尘土) . So he bought a whole kilogram of the fruit and started eating it. But after he ate some of it ： Oh,my God!His 6  watered,his mouth watered and burned,his eyes were burning,his head was burning and his face became 7 .

You can^ just eat them by the handful like that; they’re not 10   ! ” So the silly master said ,“ No,I can't stop!I paid money for them, 11   now I'll eat them. It's my 12  !”

[语篇解读]本文是一篇哲理小故事。一个人在印度买了辣椒当水 果吃，结果被辣得半死，但是他仍然不愿放弃，因为辣椒是他花钱买 的。作者通过这个故事告诉我们一个道理，有些东西失去就让它失 去，要学会放手，否则你会失去更多。

1. B根据前文内容，由于当时没有现在的飞机等交通方式，因此他只 能步行去，故选择on foot。

2. C根据but可知，前后应存在转折关系，以及后文because they can't grow much可以推测那里的水果比较贵，故选expensive “昂贵的”。delicious美味的;cheap便宜的;fresh新鲜的。

3. A印度不能出产很多的水果是由于水文条件，故此处选择because

of“由于，因为”。with the help of在 的帮助下；in need of需要;as a result 因此。

4. B他走上前去问道：“多少钱一公斤?”go up走上前去，符合题意。get up起身;turn up调高音量，出现;look up抬头看，查阅。

5. B根据后文内容it's like dirt (尘土) ，跟尘土一样，说明是不值钱， 故选择nothing。

6. A 由于他吃了很多的辣椒，因此会流眼泪，所以选择eyeS,eyeS water眼睛流眼泪。

7. C由于辣椒非常辣，因此他的脸变红，再结合上文提到的burning , 故选C项。

8. D由于他吃了很多的辣椒，非常辣,再结合up and down,可知是他 一边咳嗽一边跳，故选D项。

9. A人们把辣椒作为作料，use...as...把……作为……，符合题意，故 选A项。

10. C the master把辣椒当作水果吃了，旁人在告诉他这不是水果，故选C项。

11. B我是付钱买下的，现在我要把它们吃掉。前后存在顺承关系，

故选B项。

12. A前文提到I paid money for them,此处the master在强调这钱是他 的，故选A项。

13. D结合后文的into it,可以排除B和C项，spend与on搭配，pay与 for 搭配。join 加入，不符合题意。put money,time,effort and love into it投人了金钱、时间、努力和爱在这里，故选D项。

14. C即使你失去了某些东西，就让它去吧，然后继续。even if即使， 虽然;as if好像;ever since自从;so that结果是，目的是。句子前后 有让步关系，故选C项。

15. D这比继续失去好，continue to lose继续失去。作者的意思是失 去的东西就让它失去吧，如果你继续纠缠，那么就会失去更多，也 就是会继续失去，故选D项。
