A well-dressed man entered a famous jewelry shop. He explained that he wished to buy a pearl for his wife’s birthday and the price did not matter, since business had been very good for him that year. After examining a number of beautiful expensive pearls, he chose a nice black one that cost $ 5,000. He paid for the pearl in cash, shook hands with the jeweler, and left. A few days later the man returned and said that his wife liked the pearl so much that she wanted another one just like it. He had to buy one of exactly the same size and quality, as she wanted to have a pair of earrings made. “Can you give me any advice on how to get such a pearl?” said the man. The jeweler regretfully replied, “I would say it’s nearly impossible to find an exact one like that pearl.” The rich man insisted that the jeweler advertise in the newspapers, offered $ 25,000 for the matching pearl. Many people answered the ad but nobody had a pearl that was just right. Just when the jeweler had given up, a little old lady came in to his shop. To his great surprise, she pulled the perfect pearl from her purse. “I don’t like to part with it,” she said sadly, “I inherited it from my mother, and my mother inherited it from hers. But I really need money.” The jeweler was quick to pay her before she changed her mind. Then he called the rich man’s hotel to tell him the good news. The man, however, was nowhere to be found.
Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
33. Why did the man pay $ 5,000 for the black pearl without bargaining?
34. What’s the requirement of another pearl the man wanted?
35. How much money does the man cheat the jeweler of?
选项
A、It must be a little bigger than the black one.
B、It must be exactly as big and good as the black one.
C、It must have exactly the same quality as the black one.
D、It must be worth no more than $ 25,000.
答案
B
解析
细节题。浏览选项可知,选项讲述的是对“it”的要求,考查细节。文中提到,这个“富商”要求第二颗珍珠跟第一颗珍珠exactly the same size and quality(大小和质地相同),因为他的妻子想做一对耳坠。选项B的意思与原文相同,故选之。
