Question

A farmer had a cow. He took very good care of this cow and one day when it was ill. He was very worried. He telephoned the vet (獸醫).

“What’s the problem?” The vet asked him when he arrived.

“My cow is ill.” the farmer said. “I don’t know what’s the matter with her. She’s lying down and won’t eat. She’s making a strange noise.”

The vet looked over the cow. “She’s certainly ill, ” he said, “and she needs to take some very strong medicine.”

He took a bottle out of his box, put two pills into his hand and said, “The pills should make her better.”

“How should I give them to her?” the farmer asked.

The vet gave him a tube (管子) and said,“Put this tube in her mouth, then put the pills in the tube and blow. That’ll make it.”

The next day the vet came to the farm again. The farmer was sitting outside his house and looked more worried.

“How’s your cow?” the vet asked.

“No change,” the farmer said. “and I’m feeling very strange myself.”

“Oh?” the vet said. “Why?”

“I did what you said,” the farmer answered. “I put the tube in the cow’s mouth and then put two pills down it.”

1.C

2.B

3.A

試題分析：這篇令人忍俊不禁的幽默的主要內容是：一個農夫的牛病倒了。獸醫給了他一些藥和一根管子，并告訴他怎么樣用這根管子給牛喂藥。第二天，獸醫再次到農場時發現那位農夫坐在家門口，一臉的焦慮不安。原來他的牛病情并沒有好轉。他說自己按照獸醫的囑咐做了，可當他將管子插入牛的嘴里，并放進兩粒藥丸，正想吹氣時，牛卻先吹了一口氣。

4.根據one day when it was ill. 可知，但牛生病時，農夫向獸醫尋求幫助。所以本題選C。

5.根據The vet gave him a tube (管子) and said,“Put this tube in her mouth, then put the pills in the tube and blow. That’ll make it.” 可知，這是獸醫告訴農夫如何給牛喂藥。所以本題選B。

6.通過閱讀全文和最后一句The cow blew first.可知，藥被農夫吃了。所以本題選A。
