1.B 2.A 3.D 4.B 【解析】 这是一篇记叙文。一位商人和一位农民同坐一架飞机,为了消磨时间,他们相互猜谜语,商人自以为聪明,结果输掉50元。 1.细节理解题。根据第一段Two men were sitting together in a plane. They were on a long journey. One of the men was a businessman. The other was a farmer.可知,两个人坐在飞机上,进行一次长时间的旅行,一个是商人,一个是农民。可知故事就发生在两个乘客之间。故选B项。 2.词义猜测题。根据第三段中对话内容" That's not fair. You are a businessman with much knowledge. You know more things than I do.I am just a farmer."“这不公平。你是一个知识渊博的商人。你知道的比我多。我只是一个农民。”;和最后一段中"I don't know." The farmer said and gave him ﹩50.“我不知道。”农夫说道并给了他50美元。可知,riddles的意思是“很难找到答案的问题”。故选A项。 3.细节理解题。根据最后一段中的He gave the farmer $100, then said, "Tell me the answer. What has three legs when it walks, but only two legs when it flies?" "I don't know," the farmer said and gave him $50.可知,两个人都不知道答案,根据约定商人付100美元给农民,农民付50美元给商人,所以农民玩谜语游戏赢了50美元。故选D项。 4.细节理解题。根据最后一段I'm afraid I don't know the answer." He gave the farmer $100, then said, "Tell me the answer.“恐怕我不知道答案。”他给了农民100美元,然后说:“告诉我答案。”可知,商人不知道答案。故选B项。
