【解析】

【分析】

一个老人去了印度，买了一些红色的水果。当他吃了这种“水果”之后，他的嘴唇发烫，眼泪直流，脸也变得很红，原来他买的是辣椒。当人们都劝他不要再吃的时候，他不听，他觉得自己花钱买的，就要吃掉。通过讲述这个故事作者告诉我们：如果你在一些不成功的事情上失去了很多，那就让它过去，继续前进，总比继续输更好。

【51题详解】

句意：最便宜的东西是一篮子红色的水果。cheap便宜的，是一个形容词。根据上句话When he got there,

he saw some fruit for sale, but most of it was very cheap.可知，大多数水果都很便宜，这句话说的是其中最便宜的，故这里应填最高级cheapest。

【52题详解】

句意：这个老人问：“多少钱一公斤？”ask问，是一个动词。根据文意可知，短文讲述的是发生在过去的一个故事，全文以一般过去时为主叙述，故这里应填过去式asked。

【53题详解】

句意：两卢比在印度几乎一文不值，因此这个老人买了整整一公斤，开始吃起来。根据两句话的意思可知，前一句话表示原因，后面这句话是结果，故这里填连词so，意为“因此，所以”。

【54题详解】

句意：然而，他一开始吃，他的嘴就开始发烫，他的眼睛也流出了眼泪，他的脸也变得像那个水果一样红。burn燃烧，发热，是一个动词。空began的原形是begin，意为“开始”，常用于句型begin to do sth.或者begin doing sth.“开始做某事”，因此这里应填to burn或者burning。

【55题详解】

句意：然而，他一开始吃，他的嘴就开始发烫，他的眼睛也流出了眼泪，他的脸也变得像那个水果一样红。根据句意可知，这里考查的是短语as…as…“和…一样”，故这里填as。

【56题详解】

句意：他咳嗽着，挣扎着呼吸，上下跳跃，尖叫这：“啊，啊，啊！”up and down上上下下，是一个固定短语，故这里应填down。

【57题详解】

句意：看到他的一些人都摇着头说：“你疯了吗？”head头，是一个名词。根据句意Some people who were looking at him shook可知，这里指的是“一些人的头”，应该用复数，故填heads。

【58题详解】

句意：这个老人自言自语说：“我花钱买的，所以我必须吃掉他们。”he是人称代词主格形式，意为“他”。根据句意可知，老人对自己说…，故这里应填反身代词himself。

【59题详解】

句意：我们所有人都在某事上花费时间或金钱，或许是一段关系、一个事业或者是一份工作。spend 花费，是一个动词。这一段是讲完了故事，给我们总结其中的哲理，应用现在时态。空前有have，结合句意可知应用现在完成时，故这里填过去分词spent。

【60题详解】

句意：从这个老人身上我们学到的东西是：如果你在一些不成功的事情上失去了很多，那就让它过
