分析 John Brown 是一个店主,他在他的小店里出售并修理手表.有一天,他的表弟,Mike,来到了他的商店,对他说:"我没了工作,你介意我在你的店里工作吗?""当然不介意,我会教你我所知道的有关手表的一切事情"John告诉Mike.在最初的几个星期,Mike工作很努力.他对顾客很有礼貌并且乐于助人顾客.他打扫架子并了解店里的每件东西的位置.John对他很满意.当迈克在照看前面的店的时候,约翰能在后面工作和干维修的事情.过了一个半月,Mike问"还有你要教给我的其他事情吗?""是的,迈克,"约翰说."到了我教给你我们成功的秘密的时间了.""我想我知道,"Mike说"你以一个价格把手表买来,再以更高的价格出售他们.买价和卖价的不同就是我们的利润."
"这是真的,但它不是我们的大部分利润,"John说到.他从柜台上拿起一块表,"你觉得这块表是一块好的表吗?"他问Mike."不,我不这么认为,它是一块便宜的手表,"年轻人回答说."我们不能从卖那些手表中得到太多的利润,也许只有几美元的利润."
"你这样说就不对了,孩子."John说:"那些手表比商店里的任何一块手表都赚的更多."
"你能告诉我为什么便宜的表能产生更多的利润?"Mike问道.
"他们真的很便宜,但他们经常坏,"John告诉他说:"我们能从修理他们得到丰厚的利润."
解答 15.B.考查动词与语境理解.根据Do you--if I work in your shop?可知句意为:我没了工作,你介意我在你的店里工作吗?John Brown 的表弟失去了工作,所以问他是否介意让他在他店里工作,故选B.
16.C.考查动词与语境理解.根据He cleaned the shelves and--where everything was in the shop.可知句意为:他打扫架子并了解店里的每件东西的位置.因为他在这个店里工作,所以需要了解店里东西的位置,以便能迅速的给顾客找到他们需要的东西.故选C.
17.A.考查介词与语境理解.根据While Mike looked--the front of the shop,John was able to work and build up the repair business in the back room.可知句意为:当迈克在照看前面的店的时候,约翰能在后面工作和干维修的事情.句子考查了固定短语"照看"look after,故选A.
18.D.考查动词与语境理解.根据Is there anything else you want to--me.可知句意为:还有你要教给我的其他事情吗?根据前文I'll teach you everything I know about watches,可知刚开始来的时候,John告诉Mike说他会教Mike有关手表的事情,所以过了一个半月后,Mike问还有什么要教的吗,teach教,故选D.
19.C.考查名词与语境理解.根据."It's time I taught you the secret of our--."可知句意为:到了我教给你我们成功的秘密的时间了."这里表示的应该是成功赚钱的秘密",故选C.
20.C.考查名词与语境理解.根据The--in price is our profit (利润)."可知句意为:价格的不同就是我们的利润.从You buy watches at one price and sell them at a higher price,可以看出手表的进价和卖价是不一样的,而买价和卖价的不同就是他们得到的利润,故选C.
21.B.考查动词词组与语境理解.根据He--a watch from the counter (柜台)."可知句意为:他从柜台上拿起一块表.picked up拿起,故选B.
22.D.考查形容词与语境理解.根据That's where you are--,my boy.可知句意为:那就是你不对的地方.从下文We make our profit from repairing them,可知他们得到的利润并不是它们的差价,而是挣的修理费,所以John说Mike说错了.故选D.
23.A.考查疑问词与语境理解.根据"Could you tell me--those cheap watches make more profit?"Mike asked.可知句意为:你能告诉我为什么便宜的表能产生更多的利润?从Those watches make more profit than any other watch in the shop,可以看出这些便宜的手表也能挣好多的钱,对此Mike感到不可思议,所以他想问一下原因.故选A.
24.D.考查动词与语境理解.根据They are really cheap,but they are always--,可知句意为:他们真的很便宜,但他们经常坏,从We make our profit from repairing them,可以看出这些表经常被修,所以可以判断它们应该经常坏,故选D.
