问题     I have a vegetable garden and every summer I enjoy eating my own vegetables. One day last summer 1 picked a dozen carrots. Usually, as soon as I have picked the carrots, I clean the dirt off them by washing them in a bucket of water. But this day, as I was getting up from the ground with my twelve carrots, I tripped(绊)and fell over the bucket. The water spilled out of the bucket, so I decided to wash the carrots quickly in the kitchen sink. I put the carrots in the sink, washed them with water, and watched all the dirt washed away down the drain.
    The next day, when I was washing dishes, I noticed that the water drained out of the sink much more slowly than usual. It drained so slowly that I called a plumber(水管工)to come and fix my drain. The plumber tried a lot of different cleaners and equipment, but nothing worked. He had to cut a hole in the floor where the drain pipe was in order to try to find the problem. While he was cutting the small hole, he accidentally cut the hot-water pipe. Hot water sprayed over the plumber, onto the floor, under the refrigerator; water went everywhere.
    My refrigerator stopped working because the water had affected the electrical wires. I called an electrician to come and fix the refrigerator. The electrician had to move the refrigerator to work on the wires. As she was balancing it, she tripped over the plumber’s tools. She fell down and the refrigerator tipped over. It crashed into the wall, resulting in a huge hole in the wall.
    I called a carpenter to come and fix the wall. In order to repair the hole in the wall, the carpenter had to tear down half of the entire wall. Meanwhile, the plumber was still looking for the source of the drain problem. Since the kitchen was in a terrible mess anyway, the plumber decided to remove part of the floor to look at the pipe there. In the middle of the floor, he found the problem: the dirt from the carrots was stuck in the pipe and nothing could go through.
    Now I had a sink that did not drain, a refrigerator that did not work, a wall that was half gone, and part of a floor that was missing. I looked at this disaster and decided that what I really needed was a new kitchen. Finally, I called a house builder to come and fix my kitchen. Three weeks later I had a new sink, a new refrigerator, new cupboards on a new wall, new tiles on a new floor, and $ 10,000 less in my bank.
The best title of the passage would be "______".
选项 A、How a dozen carrots cost $ 10,000
B、What the dirt from carrots could do
C、Carrots can be very expensive
D、A careless homeowner
答案A
解析 此题是一道主旨标题类问题，主要考查考生根据全文内容进行概括总结、提炼主题的能力。问题问文章的最佳标题是什么。利用浏览式阅读，我们发现本文作者主要叙述了如何因为利用厨房水池清洗12个胡萝卜上的泥土而将水池堵住，从而引发一系列问题，最终只好彻底装修厨房，花掉了1万美元。因此，此题的正确答案应该是A，一打胡萝卜怎样带来了1万美元的花费。选项B：胡萝卜上的泥土能做什么，不符合原文内容；C：胡萝卜可能非常昂贵，文中没有表现出这一内容；D：一位粗心的房主人，本文主题不是以人物为中心的。所以，这三个选项均为干扰项。
