Question

Mary picked up a pencil and a piece of paper，saying，“Now，you want to earn money for the autumn camping trip，right?” Tom，her brother，nodded．He wasn’t able to go last year because he hadn’t earned enough money during the summer．This year he came up with a plan．
He made a necklace for his mother that everyone admired．They were surprised to learn that Tom had made it for her．Why not make more necklaces and sell them?
“OK，” said Mary，“The first thing you need to do is to figure out（计算）how much you have now．’’
“I have $20.00 in the bank，and $7.25 in my room，” explained Tom．
“That gives you a total of $27.25，” said Mary，“That is called your capital．The next thing you need to know is how much it will cost you to make each necklace．”
“Well，the pet shop will give me all the feathers the birds lose．I'll have to buy the beads（小珠子）and string，” said Tom．
Mary wrote on the piece of paper：
CAPITAL      $27.25
EXPENSES     Feathers                       no cost
String for 10 necklaces        $  2.50
Beads for 10 necklaces   +    $ 15.00
Total                        $ 17.50
“How much do you think you can sell such a necklace for?” asked Mary．
“Hmm，” Tom looked thoughtful and said，“There's a shop in town that sells almost the same kind of necklace for $ 7.50．If I charge（要价）$ 6.00，people will think that's a bargain．”
“OK．If you sell each necklace for $ 6.00，you'll make a good profit（利润）on each then，” said Mary．
“Hurray!” Tom cried，“If I sell 20 necklaces，I'll have enough from the profit for the camping trip and $10.00 left over．”

试题分析：本文讲述提汤姆想去旅行但是没有足够的钱，通过一次偶然给母亲送项链，想到为别人做项链可以赚钱的方法。
小题1:A 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段得知There's a shop in town that sells almost the same kind of necklace for $ 7.50．If I charge（要价）$ 6.00，people will think that's a bargain．同样的项链在商店里卖7.5美元，如果我要价6美元，人们认为是这很便宜的。故选A项。
小题2:D 推断题。20条项链卖120美元，成本 17.5*2=35，故利润是85美元，根据文中提到If I sell 20 necklaces，I'll have enough from the profit for the camping trip and $10.00 left over．利润就足够还剩下10美元，故花费85-10=75，所以选D项。
小题3:D主旨大意。本文提到汤姆没有赚到足够的钱去旅行，然后想到卖项链可以赚钱，如何通过卖项链来够旅行的花费。所以选D项。
