Several days ago, I met a stranger in the street who stopped and asked me directions. I 1 to show him the way to the destination, but to my 2 , he coldly refused my offer. I asked him why. Finally he told me that he was 3 I would ask him for money if I 4 him in this way.

  Money! I 5 deep into thought. Is it money that comes between us? Money has no 6 ; it cannot be 7 with good or bad.

  The problem 8 what attitude we have towards it.

  At present, we have a more 9 material life than ever before, but we're becoming more and more 10 . Why? In my opinion, the 11 is the change in people's personal 12 . They wrongly believe that 13 money should be their only aim in life, so they 14 all sorts of ways they can to 15 this aim.

  They are afraid of being 16 and fooled. If everyone acts like this, what will our 17 be like?

  Needless to say, money is becoming more and more important in our society, 18 it shouldn't be the “be-all and end-all” of life. If a person only concentrates (全神貫注) on 19 , he will be lonely and void (空虛), and even go astray (犯錯誤).

  It is important for us to make our lives happy, not money. We should try our best to help others 20 and freely. If everyone does so, our society will be better and better.

答案:B;D;D;D;A;A;C;B;C;A;A;D;D;A;A;C;B;B;D;D
解析:

  1offer to do sth.意為“(主動)提出做某事”,從后文“he coldly refused my offer.”可知.

  2.“我”提出要幫他,但他冷冷地拒絕了,這出乎“我”的意料,因此用to mysurprise固定搭配:出乎某人意料,令某人驚奇.

  3.他擔心“我”會向他要錢.be afraid of擔心害怕某事.

  4.從前文我們得知此空填helped

  5fall deep into thought意為“陷入沉思”.

  6.作者認為問題并不是出在錢本身.D項有一定干擾性,從后文“money isbecoming more and more important in our society”看,作者承認錢是重要的,因此D項不合題意.

  7.因為問題并非出在錢身上,因此錢與好壞無關,connect with…和……連接在一起.

  8.本段是對第二段的總結.錢本身與好壞無關,問題取決于我們對錢的態(tài)度.

  9.“目前,我們的物質生活比以前更豐富了”.powerful意思是“力量大的”,不合題意.

  10but一詞對此空的選擇起了重要作用.物質生活豐富了,然而人們卻越來越冷漠了.

  11key在這里的意思是“關鍵”.

  12.“關鍵是人們價值觀的改變”.personal values意為“個人價值觀”.

  13.“他們錯誤地認為賺錢是他們一生中惟一的目標”.

  14think up在這里的意思是“想出”.

  15.“他們想盡各種辦法來實現(xiàn)這個目標”.this aim指“賺錢的目標”.

  16.從空后的fooled得此答案.

  17.通過上下文我們可以看出,作者在此由個人推及整個社會,因此B項為最佳答案.

  18.前后之間為轉折關系,所以選but

  19.整個文章中講人們對錢的追求,從后句可以得此答案.

  20whole-heartedly意為“全心全意地”.

Last evening I was watching the evening news on television. The news was about a prize for scientific  1   ;I forgot what it was. The announcer, whose name was Ralph Story, said something that caught my  2  .“All great discoveries,”he said,“are made by people between the ages of twenty-five and thirty.”  3   a little over thirty myself, I wanted to disagree with him.  4   wants to think that he is past the age of making any discovery. The next day I happened to be in the public library and spent several hours looking up the  5  of famous people and their discoveries. Ralph was right.

First I looked at some of the   6   discoveries. One of the earliest discoveries, the famous experiment that proved that bodies of different  7   fall at the same speed, was made by Galileo when he was 26. Madam Curie started her research that  8   to the Nobel Prize when she was 28. Einstein was 26 when he published his world-changing theory of relativity. Well,  9   of that. Yet I  10   if those“best years”were true in other  11   .

Then how about the field of   12   ? Surely it needs the wisdom of age to make a good leader. Perhaps it  13   ,but look when these people  14   their career. Winston Churchill was elected to the House of Commons at the age of 26. Abraham Lincoln  15   the life of a country lawyer and was elected to government. At what age? Twenty-six.

But why  16   best years some after thirty? After thirty, I  17   ,most people do not want to take risks or try   18   ways. Then I thought of people like Shakespeare and Picasso. The former was writing wonderful works at the ripe age of fifty, while the latter was  19   trying new ways of painting when he was ninety!

Perhaps there is still  20   for me.

1. A. invention                             B. discovery
