试题
　　One day Mrs Wison went shopping with Tracy and Ben. They went to the supermarket in the new shopping center.

　　“Why do you buy things here?” Tracy wanted to know. “Because they are cheaper here than at the corner store near our home,” Mrs. Wilson said. “Help me check the prices, please.”

　　The Wilsons were not rich and Mrs. Wilson was always careful with her money. She looked carefully at the prices of things. She bought lots of things in the supermarket. When they got home, the children said, “We don't think you saved money by going to the supermarket.” “Of course I did,” Mrs. Wilson said “Everything was cheaper there.”

　　“We know,” the children said, “but we came home by taxi because we had too much to carry. The taxi fare was more than the money that you saved !”

　　Mrs Wilson added everything up. Her children were right.

　　“Well done,” she said. “Next time we'll do the shopping nearby.”

　　①The things at the corner store were ____ than those in the supermarket.

　　A. cheaper B. nicer C. more expensive D. Better

　　② Mrs. Wilson _________ in the end.

　　A. spent more money B. paid less money

　　C. lost some money D. saved a little money

答案

　　这两个问题都是细节性问题，但又不能直接从文章中得出答案，要经过分析和计算间接地获得事实细节。

①选C。由 Mrs. Wilson 的话“Because they are cheaper here than at the corner store near our home. ”分析可知the things at the corner store were more expensive.

②选A。 Mrs. Wilson 在超级市场买的东西是便宜的，但返回时由于东西多结果打的士回家将打的士的费用摊进去就高于节省的费用了，因此可以知道：Mrs. Wilson spent more money in the end.
