【语篇解读】人们有时候也将美元叫做buck,但许多人并不知道关于这种用法在历史上是有许多理论依据的。

4.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“intuitive”inthefirstparagraphprobablymean?

A.Clear.B.Major.

C.Cheap.D.Meaningful.

答案　A

解析　词义猜测题。

由前面句中的While和obvious可知,此处应表示虽然一些术语背后的意义很明显,但其他的术语却没有这么“清楚的”意思。

5.Accordingtothetext,ConradWeiserwasthefirstto　　　. 

A.workasaninterpreter

B.berobbedofbucks

C.writeajournalentry

D.refertobucksascurrency

答案　D

解析　细节理解题。

由第二段第三句可知,ConradWeiser是第一个把buck作为货币的人。

6.WhendidofficialU.S.dollarscomeintouse?

A.Intheyear1748.

B.Decadesafter1748.

C.BeforeWeiserwrotehisjournalentry.

D.AssoonasWeiserwrotehisjournalentry.

答案　B

解析　细节理解题。

由第三段最后一句中的“untilseveraldecadesafterWeiser’sjournalentries”可知,美元是在Weiser完成日记账之后几十年才被制造出来。

A.Anyonewhoplayedthegame.

B.Anyonewhopassedthebuckon.

C.Thepersonwhogotthebuckhornknife.

D.Thepersonwhowonthegameatlast.

答案　C

解析　细节理解题。

由最后一段中的第二句可知,在19世纪,人们在玩纸牌游戏时拿到鹿角柄的就是发牌员。

此题易误选B项。

当时人们在玩纸牌时,带有鹿角柄的刀子会在人们之间传递,当刀子传递给一个人时也就意味着把责任传递给他,因此拿到这把刀子的人才是发牌员。
