The men set off in silence. Pedro walked with his dog a few paces behind the boys. When neighbors saw them walking along in this formation they would say that Pedro looked like a veritable patron striding behind his peons. Yet there were mornings when Pedro talked to the boys in the course of their two-hour walk to the fields, giving advice or telling what work had to be done. The boys, however, spoke only in answer to a question. Out of their father’ s earshot they would joke about their sweethearts or visits to the saloons of Cuahnahuac. But this morning they moved silently down the road.
It was still barely light. All around them, just beyond the far edges of the fields, the blue-green slopes of the pine-covered mountains rose through the morning mist. Pedro and Ricardo were headed for the mountain slope cornfield which they had cleared the year before. This was communal land belonging to the municipality which consisted of seven villages; anyone could work it. New clearings had to be made every two or three years, for heavy rains washed the topsoil away. To acquire new fields Pedro and his sons burned the brush and weeds, cut down young trees, and built new stone fences. The boys worked well; they had the largest mountain clearing in Azteca. But the crops could supply enough corn and beans for only three or four months. So Pedro had to try other means of earning a living as well — making rope from maguey fiber, selling plums, hiring out his sons as farm hands. One thing he would not do to earn money was to make charcoal for sale, as so many of his neighbors did. This practice, he knew, was wasteful of the precious oak and pine forests and ultimately ruined land. He had been one of the leaders in the struggle for the preservation of the communal forest lands. So he made charcoal only once a year and only for the use of his family.
Which didn’ t Pedro do to earn a living?
选项
A、Working as a farm hand.
B、Trading in farm products.
C、Making home-made commodities for money.
D、Selling his sons’ services.
答案
B
解析
注意:此题问的是哪一个选项丕显-Pedro的谋生手段。文中第二段提到:“The boysworked well….But the crops could supply enough corn and beans for only three or four months.”,由此可推断出做农活是他们谋生的手段之一(A);在第二段倒数第五句话(So Pedro hadto try other means of earning a living as well---making rope from maguey fiber,selling plums,hiring out his sons as farm hands..)中,C项和D项的内容也被提及。纵观全文,B选项:卖农产品为谋生手段,未被提及。相反,文中提供的信息倒是:他们自产的粮食还不够糊口(第二段倒数第四句话),因此更谈不上拿去卖了,所以B为正确答案。
