A well-dressed man entered a famous jewelry shop. He explained that he wished to buy a pearl for his wife’s birthday and the price did not matter, since business had been very good for him that year. After examining a number of beautiful expensive pearls, he chose a nice black one that cost $ 5,000. He paid for the pearl in cash, shook hands with the jeweler, and left. A few days later the man returned and said that his wife liked the pearl so much that she wanted another one just like it. He had to buy one of exactly the same size and quality, as she wanted to have a pair of earrings made. “Can you give me any advice on how to get such a pearl?” said the man. The jeweler regretfully replied, “I would say it’s nearly impossible to find an exact one like that pearl.” The rich man insisted that the jeweler advertise in the newspapers, offered $ 25,000 for the matching pearl. Many people answered the ad but nobody had a pearl that was just right. Just when the jeweler had given up, a little old lady came in to his shop. To his great surprise, she pulled the perfect pearl from her purse. “I don’t like to part with it,” she said sadly, “I inherited it from my mother, and my mother inherited it from hers. But I really need money.” The jeweler was quick to pay her before she changed her mind. Then he called the rich man’s hotel to tell him the good news. The man, however, was nowhere to be found.
Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
33. Why did the man pay $ 5,000 for the black pearl without bargaining?
34. What’s the requirement of another pearl the man wanted?
35. How much money does the man cheat the jeweler of?
选项
A、He was very rich.
B、He was anxious to get it.
C、His business was very successful.
D、He wanted to make the jeweler believe him.
答案
D
解析
推理题。浏览选项可知,选项与男士的行为有关,需对文章进行通篇理解。一位“富商”先是花5000美元在珠宝店买了颗黑珍珠,又出了5倍的价格想买一颗同样的珍珠。最后一位老妇人拿着珍珠上了门,珠宝商便以25,000美元的价格买下了这颗珍珠,但是当他通知那个“富商”时,“富商”却销声匿迹了。在整个故事结束时我们不难推断,这是“富商”设的一个骗局,他和老妇人是同伙,当初买珍珠没有讨价还价是为了获取珠宝商的信任,为之后的行骗打下基础。
