”“Ifyoudon’tknowtheanswertoariddle,youpayme$100.AndifIdon’tknowtheanswer,I’llpayyou$50.”Thefarmersaid.Thebusinessmanthoughtaboutthis,thenhesaid,“OK.That’sfair.Whowillgofirst?”(“这是真的。”商人说。“你想让我们做什么？”“如果你不知道一个谜语的答案，你就付我100美元。如果我不知道答案，我就付你50美元。”农夫说。商人想了想，然后说：“好吧。这是公平的。谁先来？”)”可推测，商人之所以同意自己输了给农民100美元，农民输了给自己50美元是因为他认为自己比农民知道的多。故选B。27．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““Hereismyriddle.Whathasthreelegswhenitwalks,butonlytwolegswhenitflies?”Thebusinessmanrepeatedtheriddle,“Whathasthreelegswhenitwalks,butonlytwolegswhenitflies?Mm,that’sagoodone.I’mafraidIdon’tknowtheanswer.”Hegavethefarmer$100,thensaid,“Tellmetheanswer.Whathasthreelegswhenitwalks,butonlytwolegswhenitflies?”“Idon’tknow.”Thefarmersaidandgavehim$50.(“这是我的谜语。什么东西走路有三条腿，但飞的时候只有两条腿？”商人又重复了一遍谜语：“什么东西走路有三条腿，飞起来却只有两条腿？”嗯，这是个好谜语。恐怕我不知道答案。”他给了农夫100美元，然后说：“告诉我答案。什么东西走路时有三条腿，但飞行时只有两条腿？”“我不知道。”农夫说着给了他50美元。)”可知，农夫问了商人一个自己都不知道答案的谜语，结果商人给了农夫100美元，农夫给了商人50美元。由此可知，农夫通过玩猜谜语赢了50美元。故选D。28．A29．A30．C31．B【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究表明，户外运动有许多好处，与在城市长大的人相比，童年大部分时间在农村度过的人往往对公众演讲等压力大的事件表现出更好的反应。28．推理判断题。根据第一段““Don’tgetdirty!”wasonceoftenshoutedbyparentsangrilywatchingtheirchildrenruintheirbestclothes.Itwasunavoidablethatchildren’swhiteswouldturnbrownbeforethedaywasover.(“别弄脏了!”看到孩子们弄脏自己最好的衣服，父母们常常愤怒地喊出这句话。孩子们的白色衣服在一天结束之前就会变成棕色，这是不可避免的。)”以及第二段“Today,manyparentsmaysecretlywishtheirchildrenhadthechancetopickupabitofdirt.Witht
