Question

    Once, there was a man living in a small village on the hill. He has a statue (雕像), but he put it at his door, facing downwards, because he didn’t like it at all.

One day, a man from the city passed by his house. This man was full of knowledge (知识). He asked the owner if he could sell the statue as soon as he saw it. He owner laughed and said, “Who will like this dirty stone?” The man from the city said,” I will give you five dollars for it.” The owner was surprised and agreed, so the man took the statue to the city.

A few months later, the man from the village went to visit the city. When he walked around the street, he saw many stone statues standing in front of a shop, and a man shouted in a loud voice (声音), “Come in and enjoy the most wonderful statue in the world. Only ten dollars to enjoy this most excellent statue.”

The man from the village paid ten dollars and entered the shop. He was very surprised when he saw the statue in the shop, because it was the statue that he himself had sold for only five dollars.

【解析】

一个生活在村子里的男人拥有一个石像，他不喜欢它，把它放在门口。一个从城里来的人看到了这个石像，用5美元买下了它。后来偶尔有一次生活在村子里的那个人去了城里，看到了他的石像，才知道这个石像非常的有价值。

1.根据短文第二段The man from the city said,” I will give you five dollars for it.” The owner was surprised and agreed, so the man took the statue to the city.可知，城里来的那个人出价5美元，买下了那个石像。故回答Five dollars。

2.根据文意The man from the village paid ten dollars and entered the shop. He was very surprised when he saw the statue in the shop, because it was the statue that he himself had sold for only five dollars.可知，这个石像非常值钱，而从村子里来的那个男人只卖了5美元，所以他不如城里的那个人聪明，故这句话是错误的。

3.根据短文第二段最后一句话The owner was surprised and agreed, so the man took the statue to the city.可知，城里人出价5美元要买这个雕像，主人非常的吃惊，同意了。由此可知这里填surprised吃惊的；agreed过去式，同意。

4.it是一个代词，代指前面提到的事物，根据He asked the owner if he could sell the statue as soon as he saw it.可知，it代指的是the statue“雕像”。

5.这是一个祈使句，句中有两个并列的谓语动词come in“进来”和enjoy“欣赏”；the most wonderful statue最精美的雕像，是形容词最高级；in the world世界上。
