參考答案Ⅰ.[主旨大意]本文是一篇記敘文,文章通過一位大師為了不奢侈金錢,吃掉全部辣椒,使自己辣得全身冒火的故事,告知我們要學會適時舍棄的道理。1.B依據上文“Inthosetimes,wedidn’thaveairplanesormanykindsoftransportationthatwedonow.”可知,當時沒有什么交通工具,所以他“步行”去印度。2.C依據本段最終一句“Anditwasthecheapestintheshop,notexpensiveatall.”可知,這里表示水果很“貴”。3.A考查短語辨析。becauseof意為“因為”,表示緣由;withthehelpof意為“在……的幫助下”;inneedof意為“須要”;asaresult意為“結果”。由句意可知選A。4.B結合上下文可知,此處表示“走上前去詢問”。goup表示“走上前”,符合文意。5.B依據下文“it’slikedirt(塵土)”可知,兩盧比不算什么。nothing意為“沒有什么”,符合文意。6.A7.C聯系前后句可知,吃了辣椒整個頭部像著火了一樣,面紅耳赤。8.D當他咳嗽得厲害時,他跳上跳下。jumpupanddown意為“跳上跳下”。9.A句意:人們把它們作為一種作料用,但是為了調味僅僅在食物里放一點。10.C依據上文“Buthestillcontinuedtoeatthefruit!”可知,這位大師認為這是一種“水果”。11.B“Ipaidmoneyforthem”和“nowI’lleatthem”之間是順承關系。and表示順承關系,符合文章的邏輯。12.A依據前句可知,這位大師花錢買了這些辣椒,他認為這就是他的“錢”。13.D句意:我們仍舊接著(做傻事)僅僅是因為我們已經把錢、時間、
