英国东南部的一家小博物馆举办了首届“世界上最有趣的螃蟹笑话”比赛。获奖者从700 个名单中选出。前4 名被写在纸上，并被装袋扔进潮汐池里，然后用绳子拉回来，谁第一个带着螃蟹回来，谁就是赢家。

1. B 写作目的题。本文先讲了一个笑话，然后由此引出“世界上最有趣的螃蟹笑话”比赛。

2. A 词义猜测题。根据下文的this is the first time this competition has taken place 可知，这是第一次举办“世界上最有趣的螃蟹笑话”比赛，即这是首届比赛。故inaugural 意为“创始的；首次的”。

3. C 细节理解题。根据第四段中的The first one to come back with a crab that could be placed in a bucket was the winner. 可知，前4 名笑话被扔进潮汐池里，第一个带着可以放进桶里的螃蟹回来的就是赢家。

4. C 推理判断题。根据文章最后的while the man is really talking about a birthday cake for his crab 可知，这个人实际上是在说他的螃蟹要过生日，所以是要为他的螃蟹订蛋糕。

5. D 主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了首届“世界上最有趣的螃蟹笑话”比赛的规则以及其中两则笑话。

After the judges—including some school children from the area—had chosen their favorite jokes,the top four were written on paper and placed in bags along with some tinned fish. 评委们——包括当地的一些学生——选出了他们最喜欢的笑话后，前4 名被写在纸上，然后和一些罐头鱼一起被放在袋子里。

including some school children from the area 是插入语；After the judges had chosen their favorite jokes 是时间状语从句；were written 和placed 是并列谓语，placed 前省略了were。
