Question

A farmer had a cow. He took very good care of this cow and one day when it was ill. He was very worried. He telephoned the vet (兽医).

“What’s the problem?” The vet asked him when he arrived.

“My cow is ill.” the farmer said. “I don’t know what’s the matter with her. She’s lying down and won’t eat. She’s making a strange noise.”

The vet looked over the cow. “She’s certainly ill, ” he said, “and she needs to take some very strong medicine.”

He took a bottle out of his box, put two pills into his hand and said, “The pills should make her better.”

“How should I give them to her?” the farmer asked.

The vet gave him a tube (管子) and said,“Put this tube in her mouth, then put the pills in the tube and blow. That’ll make it.”

The next day the vet came to the farm again. The farmer was sitting outside his house and looked more worried.

“How’s your cow?” the vet asked.

“No change,” the farmer said. “and I’m feeling very strange myself.”

“Oh?” the vet said. “Why?”

“I did what you said,” the farmer answered. “I put the tube in the cow’s mouth and then put two pills down it.”

“And?” the vet asked.

试题分析：这篇令人忍俊不禁的幽默的主要内容是：一个农夫的牛病倒了。兽医给了他一些药和一根管子，并告诉他怎么样用这根管子给牛喂药。第二天，兽医再次到农场时发现那位农夫坐在家门口，一脸的焦虑不安。原来他的牛病情并没有好转。他说自己按照兽医的嘱咐做了，可当他将管子插入牛的嘴里，并放进两粒药丸，正想吹气时，牛却先吹了一口气。

4.根据one day when it was ill. 可知，但牛生病时，农夫向兽医寻求帮助。所以本题选C。

5.根据The vet gave him a tube (管子) and said,“Put this tube in her mouth, then put the pills in the tube and blow. That’ll make it.” 可知，这是兽医告诉农夫如何给牛喂药。所以本题选B。

6.通过阅读全文和最后一句The cow blew first.可知，药被农夫吃了。所以本题选A。
