文章大意:本文是一篇小故事。以三位富人帮助一个贫困的村庄的不同方式,阐明“授人以鱼,不如授人以渔”的哲理。
1.A. loss
B. expectations
C. success
D. problems
答案:D 文章开篇点明,在一片遥远而贫瘠的土地上,只有富人才不用费尽艰难勉强度日。此处without great problems相当于without much difficulty“不用费尽艰难”。
2.A. standing
B. travelling
C. gathering
D. running
答案:B 根据上下文可知,三位有钱人和他们的仆人们正在赶路(travel),这时他们来到了一个贫穷的(poor)村庄。stand“站立”; gather“聚集”;run“跑”,显然只有travel“行走”符合题意。
3.A. faraway
B. poor
C. different
D. ancient
答案:B 根据第一段中poverty和第二段首句说“第一个富人无法忍受看到这样的贫困”(poverty)可知,此处用poor。
4.A. unless
B. because
C. so
D. if
答案:C 既然第一个富人无法忍受看到这样的贫困(poverty),所以(so)他从四轮载重车拿出了自己的金银珠宝分给了村民们。
5.A. them
B. anything
C. nothing
D. those
答案:A 根据share sth.(out) among sb.“分享某物”可知,此处用人称代词them指代前面所提all the gold and jewels。
6.A. curious
B. worrying
C. dangerous
D. puzzling
答案:B 第二个富人看到这一令人担忧的(worrying)的形式,把他所有的食物和饮料送给了村民(the villagers)。curious“好奇的”;worrying“令人担忧的”;dangerous“危险的”;puzzling“令人困惑的”,显然B项符合题意。
7.A. the villagers
B. his servants
C. the others
D. the rest
答案:A 根据上下文可知,第二位富人把他所有的食物和饮料送给了村民(the villagers),而不是the servants(仆人)/the others/the rest(其他人)。
8.A. could
B. might
C. should
D. must
答案:A 第二位富人之所以把他所有的食物和饮料送给了村民是因为他能(could)看得出金钱对这些贫困的村民眼下没有多大用处。might(或许)/should(应该)/must(必须)均不合题意。
9.A. interest
B. concern
C. use
D. attraction
答案:C of little use to sb.“对某人没有多大用处”。interest兴趣;concern关心,关注;attraction吸引。
10.A. returned
B. gained
C. offered
D. received
答案:D 第二位富人确保村民们得到(receive)自己公平的那份而且有足够的食物维持一段时间后,他离开了。
11.A. remain
B. last
C. supply
D. share
答案:B last可以用来表示“持续,维持”一段时间,其他三项无此用法。remain“仍然,保持”;不用来表示“某种状态持续的时间长度”;supply“提供”;share“分享”。
12.A. turned back
B. set out
C. showed off
D. speeded up
答案:D 此处表明:第三位富人一看到这一贫困,加快了步伐(speed up),一刻也不停地径直走过了村庄。turn back“转身”;set out“开始,出发”;show off“炫耀”。
13.A. village
B. land
C. field
D. road
答案:A 根据上文...when they came to a__3__village可知,第三位富人一看到这一贫困,加快了步伐,一刻也不停地径直走过了村庄。所以填 village。
14.A. whether
B. how
C. where
D. when
答案:B 此处指前两位富人从稍远处看到这一情形相互评论第三位富人是多么(how)缺乏同情心啊。用how 引导感叹式宾语从句,how 修饰动词lack(缺乏)。
15.A. good
B. certain
C. true
D. strange
答案:A 根据上下文可知,他们亲自在那儿提供帮助是有好处的(good),而不是certain(当然的)/true(真实的)/strange(奇怪的)。
16.A. welcomed
B. met
C. accepted
D. persuaded
答案:B 但是三天后他们遇到了(met)迎面而来的那第三位富人。welcome(欢迎)/accept(接受)/persuade(劝服)不合题意。
17.A. still
B. already
C. always
D. indeed
答案:A 前文说:第三位富人一看到这一贫困,加快了步伐(speed up),一刻也不停地径直走过了村庄。所以此处指他仍然(still)匆忙赶路。排除already(已经)/always(总是)/indeed(确实)。
18.A. except
for
B. instead of
C. apart from
D. along with
答案:B 但是他的四轮车上装满了农用工具和一袋袋的种子而不是(instead of)原本一直装载着(carry)的金子和蔬菜。排除except for(除了……)/apart from(除了……;除了……还有……)/along with(和……一起,以及)。
19.A. loading
B. treasuring
C. carrying
D. earning
答案:C 此处用carry相当于be loaded with,意为“装载着”。
20.A. food
B. jewels
C. money
D. seeds
答案:D 此处用seed“种子”表示第三位富人不同于前两位“送钱送食物”缓解一时的困境,而是帮助他们种植庄稼,从根本上解决生计问题。
