In return, he gave them a coffee mill (磨粉機) and said, “Say, Mill, please grind (磨粉),” and itll make whatever you

But the young couple next door were never satisfied. When they saw the old couple wearing good clothes and buying good food, they burnt with en

44、vy (羨慕). So one day, the young husband went to the old couples house secretly and heard, “Mill, please grind hot chocolate!” He was surprised to see it coming out.Then the young couple stole the mill from the old couple. With it, they rode a horse and set off down the coast, where no one would know

45、them. Along the way, the husband showed proudly and asked, “What do you want it to make?” “Oh. I dont know. Why not salt?” the wife said. “Mill, please grind salt!” he said. “It works!” the wife shouted. But then they noticed the salt went everywhere. “Make it stop,” the wife said. But the husband d

46、idnt know how. “Mill, please stop grinding! Please, no more!” His words didnt work. The mill kept grinding. Finally, the young husband threw the mill into the sea as far as he could.And there its been, for hundreds of years, endlessly grinding salt. Thats why the sea is salt.38. The passage is proba

Then

50、 the young couple stole the mill from the old couple. . But then they noticed the salt went everywhere. . Finally, the young husband threw the mill into the sea as far as he could.”可知正確的順序是一對老夫妻得到了它，然后年輕夫妻偷了它并讓它產鹽，最后年輕的丈夫扔了它（d-c-a-b）。故選D?！?0題詳解】代詞指代題。根據(jù)“ Mill, please grind salt! he said. It works! t

51、he wife shouted. But then they noticed the salt went everywhere. Make it stop, the wife said.”可知是想要磨粉機停下來，it指代“the mill”。故選C?！?1題詳解】推理判斷題。根據(jù)“When they saw the old couple wearing good clothes and buying good food, they burnt with envy.”可知年輕的丈夫一開始是嫉妒的，不滿足于現(xiàn)狀，渴望過上想老夫妻一樣的生活；再由“Along the way, the husband

52、 showed proudly”可知偷到磨粉機之后他是激動的；再由“Finally, the young husband threw the mill into the sea as far as he could.”可知磨粉機一直產鹽，讓他很害怕，把磨粉機扔進了海里。感情變化是“thirsty excited afraid”。故選B?！?2題詳解】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)“Soon the old couple had a much better life. Theyd been happy people, and they didnt need much more. But the young c

53、ouple next door were never satisfied.”可知故事中老夫妻知足，所以生活幸福，而年輕夫妻不知足偷了磨粉機后也沒能如愿，由此推出truth暗指文中的哲理，“要知足”。故選C。CIndonesians love to celebrate.
