In today’s world many people seem to be hungry for money. Money does have its most useful effect on the poor. But even if a person has already got plenty of money, he can’t get everything.
If money were everything, all millionaires would have real love, true friendship, good health and a long life. However, this is not always correct.
Since the beginning of time no three words have ever invited more pleasure than “I love you”. But can love be bought? I’m afraid not. Love means to give, not ________ (78). To every person, health and a long life are probably the best things. Well, can health and a long life be bought with money? The answer is “No”.
(79) Of all the longest living people in the world, few of them are millionaires. True friendship can’t be bought, either. In a word, where money is dreamed too much, it can cause brothers to quarrel, marriage to end, lovers to hate, and strangers to fight. No matter how much money you have, it is still not enough to make a happy person if you have no one to laugh with, no one to cry for.

【小題3】to take
【小題4】世界上的百萬富翁中長壽的人不多。
【小題5】Is money everything? / Money doesn’t mean everything. / Love is more important than money.

解析試題分析:在在當(dāng)今世界的許多人似乎很看重錢。但是,即使一個人已經(jīng)有足夠的錢,他不能得到的一切。
如果金錢是萬能的,所有的百萬富翁都會有真正的愛情,真正的友誼,健康長壽。然而,這并不總是正確的。每個人,健康和長壽可能是最好的東西。好了,用金錢能買來健康長壽嗎?答案是“不”。 愛是一種奉獻,不是索取?傊,錢夢想的地方太多了,它可以導(dǎo)致兄弟爭吵,婚姻的結(jié)束,愛或恨,和陌生人打架。
【小題1】細節(jié)理解題。理解句意:現(xiàn)在表面看起來許多人非常想要錢。在文章中第一句話就體現(xiàn),人們以錢的感覺是一種饑餓的狀態(tài),故填:In today’s world many people seem to be hungry for money.
【小題2】細節(jié)理解題。問題:對于每個人來說什么可能是最重要的?原文:To every person, health and a long life are probably the best things.句意:對于每個人,健康和生命長久可能是最好的事情。分析:最重要的也就是最好的,故填:Health and a long life.
【小題3】細節(jié)理解題?疾楣潭ㄓ谜Z:Love means to give, not to take.句意:愛是一種奉獻,不是索取。故填:to take
【小題4】細節(jié)理解題。原句:Of all the longest living people in the world, few of them are millionaires.Of all譯為全部。The longest living 譯為:長壽。In the world譯為:在世界上。Few of them譯為:他們中很少的人。綜合譯為:世界上的百萬富翁中長壽的人不多。
【小題5】細節(jié)理解題。全文總結(jié)題,只要了解全文的中心思想是講述錢并不是一切,愛是更重要的。故填:Is money everything? / Money doesn’t mean everything. / Love is more important than money.

China Youth says that more and more girl students have entered colleges to study in the recent few years. As we know, once the number of boys was larger than that of girls and boys did much better than girls in our country for a long time. Now, things have changed a lot.
In recent years, the proportion of girl students is growing fast. In 1998, about 39.7% of college students were girls. In 2000, it was 41.07% and in 2001, the number was 42.14%.
There are several reasons for this.
Firstly, there is little difference between boys and girls in their intelligence(智力). That’s to say, girls are as clever as boys. And boys have more interests than girls, so they may not always do well in their study.

When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺點). Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn’t a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.                      He listened to me quietly, then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like ? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”                                                                         
I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin), but a good number I could—and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I go to fairly clear picture of myself.            
I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it.“That’s just for you,” he said.“You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”                   
Daddy’s advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I’ve never had a better piece of advice.                                                          
【小題1】What does “Week by week her list grew” mean?                                   

A.Week by week she discovered more shortcomings of mine and pointed them out to me.
B.She had made a list of my shortcomings and she kept on adding new ones to it so that it was growing longer and longer.
C.I was having more and more shortcomings as time went on.
D.Week by week, my shortcomings grew more serious.
【小題2】Why did her father listen to her quietly?                                          
A.Because he believed that what her daughter’s “enemy” said was mostly true.
B.Because he had been so angry with his daughter’s shortcomings that he wanted to show this by keeping silent for a while.
C.Because he knew that his daughter would not listen to him at that moment.
D.Because he wasn’t quite sure which girl was telling the truth.
【小題3】Which do you think would be the best title for this passage?                          
A.Not an Enemy, but the Best Friend
B.The Best Advice I’ve Ever Had
C.My Father
D.My Childhood

We were doing the best to control the fire of the burning garage. Outside, I heard the sounds of cats crying. I couldn’t stop- I would have to look for the cats after the fire was put out.
It took a long time to finally bring the big fire under control. No one inside was hurt. At that point I was free to find out where the cat noises were from. There was still a lot of smoke and heat coming from the building. I followed the meowing to the sidewalk in front of the garage. There, crying and huddled together, were five frightened kittens . They must have been inside the building, as their fur was badly hurt.
I wanted to find the mother cat. It was obviously that she had gone into the burning garage and carried out all her babies, one by one----unbelievable.
We finally found her. Her paws and face were blackened, and her fur was burned all over. You could even see her reddened skin under the burned fur. She could hardly move. I picked her up, and she relaxed in my arms as much as her pain would allow. I was determined to save this brave little cat and her family.
The veterinarian told me they would watch the kittens and their mother for the night, but they weren’t confident about the about the mother’s chances.
About a week later, I found out she was going to live. We named her Scarlet because of her reddened skin.
I was happy to see Scarlet get together with the kittens again. She touched each of them, nose to nose. She had risked her life five times-and it had paid off. All of her babies had survived.
As a firefighter, I see heroic acts every day. But what Scarlet showed me that day was the kind of bravery that can only come from a mother’s love.
