“Well”, he replied,“ I do this ?” And he dropped it on the and started to step on it with his shoes. He picked it up. Now it was crumpled and .

“Now, who wants it?” Still the hands went into the air.

“My friends, we have all learned a very lesson. No matter what I did to the , you still want it because it doesn’t decrease in . It is still worth $20, with we can buy what we need.

Many times in our lives, we are , and trampled underfoot by the decision we and the circumstances that come our way. We feel we were worthless.

試題分析：本文通過講述一位演講者向聽眾展示一張支票，盡管這張支票被弄得又皺又臟，人們還是要它，因為它還是有它自身的價值。進而聯(lián)系到人生的真諦：人生的價值體現(xiàn)在人本身的內(nèi)在價值。

1.

2.根據(jù)句意：誰想要錢，常識可知應(yīng)是舉手示意。故選C。

3.考查動詞。Pass傳遞；give給；show展示；lend借出。根據(jù)句意：我會把這20美元給你們其中一個人。故選B。

4.考查副詞。 Ever永遠；even甚至；also也；still還。根據(jù)句意：誰還想要它，故選D。

5.考查副詞。 On繼續(xù)著；off走開；up向上；out在外。根據(jù)第一段中“Hands started going up”，手開始舉了起來，這里用了up。同樣此處考查方位副詞，四選項中只有C項up向上正確。故選C。

6.考查句型。What if ....要是...又怎么樣，如果...該怎么辦。故選D。
