Question

4．Three days ago，the boss of a gold shop received a letter．As he was very busy，the letter was on his desk till dinner time．When he opened it，a 1000 dollars note fell out onto the desk．With the note was a short letter：
Dear sir，
I got married forty years ago．Unfortunately，at that time there was a lot of unemployment and I got no job．I was out of work for about six months before I got another one．Of course I was very short of money．
I came to your shop to buy a wedding ring one day．The assistant brought some rings for me to have a look，later she was called away for a moment，and then I put one of the rings into my pocket．When she came back，I said I did not know the size of my girlfriend's finger．So I left the shop with the ring but I didn't pay for it．My wife died a month ago，and the fact that I never paid for her ring has been on my conscience（让我良心不安）all these years．I always feel guilty about that．At that time the ring cost 100 dollars，and I think that is about ten times at today's price．
Now，I am sending you that amount．
                                                        Yours truly，
                                                         A customer

Answer 1

分析 三天前，金店的老板收到一封信．当时他很忙，直到晚饭的时候才看到桌上的这封信．当他撕开信封，一张1000美元的钞票掉落在桌上，里面还有一封简短的信：
先生，你好
我40年前结的婚，不幸的是，当时社会上有大量人员失业，我也没有工作．这种状态持续了6个月后我终于找到了一份工作，当然收入很少．
一天我到你店里买结婚戒指．营业员拿来很多戒指给我挑选，后来她去接了个电话，我就把一枚戒指揣在了口袋里．当她回来后，我说不太清楚我女友手指的尺寸，于是我带着没付钱的戒指离开了．我妻子一个月前去世了，这枚送给她的没有付钱的戒指，在这些年里一直让我良心不安，使我总有一种罪恶感．当时这枚戒指只值100美元，现在我想它的价值应该10倍于原来的价格．所以我给你这个数目．
你的一位真诚的顾客．

解答 58．答案：B．细节理解题．根据第一句Three days ago，the boss of a gold shop received a letter可知是三天前收到的信，故选B．
59．答案：B．词意判断题．划线单词的下文got no job"没有找到工作"和out of work"失业"，都在提示上文的划线单词意义为"失业"．正是因为失业的窘境才导致写信者偷了店里的戒指．故选B．
60．答案：C．细节理解题．根据最后At that time the ring cost 100 dollars，and I think that is about ten times at today's price．可知四十年前是100美元，故选C．
61．答案：A． 细节理解题．根据最后I am sending you that amount．可知写信的人是偿还自己四十年前所拿戒指的钱，故选A．
62．答案：A．细节理解题．通过短文开始When he opened it，可知是老板亲自打开了信件．故选A．
