【解析】 三个富人纷纷慷慨解囊帮助村民摆脱贫困, 但是他们的做法却截然不同, 到底谁的方法最有效呢?还是读读下面的文章吧, 也许你能更好地体会授之以鱼不如授之以渔的深刻内涵。

【1】上文提到该地区极度贫困, 只有富有的人维持生活才不成问题。富人维持生活不成问题, 而不能说是loss(损失), 故排除A项, 选择D项。

【2】 三个富人和他们的仆人正在一条路上前行。根据on a road以及下文来到一个贫困村落, 可知是在路上前行, 故选travelling。其他三项均不符合题意。

【3】 本文开头提到该地区极其贫困, 下文could not stand seeing the poverty也是重要提示。

【4】 第一个富人不忍看到人们如此贫困, 所以把车上的金银珠宝都卸下车来。unless除非;because因为;if如果。

【5】 本题中them指代上文的all the gold and jewels。

【6】 人们处于极度贫困中, 这种情况应当是令人担忧的。curious好奇的;dangerous危险的;puzzling让人迷惑不解的, 均不符合题意。

【7】 第二个富人把他的食品和饮料都送给了村民们。

【8】 因为他能够看出金钱对于他们来说几乎没有什么用处。might可能;should应该;must必须, 都不符合题意。

【9】 金钱对于这些贫困的人来说并不是没有interest(兴趣)或者attraction(吸引力), 故排除A项和D项。第二个富人看出金钱对于这些贫困的人来说几乎没有什么用处, 故选择C项。

【10】他确保村民们拿到他们应得的一份。其他选项均不符合题意。

【11】 村民们会有足够的食物来维持一段时间。last维持;持续。其他三项均不符合题意。

【12】 第三个富人看到这种贫困状况后, 加快速度, 径直穿过村庄, 停也没停。turn back原路返回, 往回走;set out出发, 开始;show off炫耀, 卖弄;speed up加快速度。without stopping以及下文travelling quickly都提示正确答案:为D项。

【13】见37题解析:。

【14】 另外两个富人从远处看到这一切后都觉得第三个富人是那么缺乏同情心, 故选择B项。而不是两人讨论第三个富人是否缺乏同情心, 排除A项。

【15】 他们亲自到村子里去提供帮助, 这显然是件好事, 故答案:为A项。

【16】 三天后, 他们与第三个富人相遇, 因此选择B项。其他三项均不符合题意。

【17】 他的速度还是那么快。与上文The third rich man. . . speeded up. . . 呼应。

【18】 根据下文were now full of farming tools可知不是gold and valuables, 故用instead of(而不是), 选择B项, 其他三项均不符合题意。

【19】车上装运的不是金银财宝而是农具和成袋的种子。本句中they指代waggons, 所以用carrying(运输), 选择C项。loading装载, 没有运输之意, 故排除。

【20】 根据上文farming tools可知此处应是seeds(种子), 而不应是food, jewels或money, 故选择D项。

Time flies! This is a third year that I have been in this school. In the past two and a half years, our school had organized many activities. What impressed me best was an activity called “Learning to Farm”. In an autumn afternoon, we were sent to a farm which we learned to plant potatoes. Having been in the city for so a long time, we were so happy to go to the countryside. After divided into three groups, we started to work. Some students cut potatoes into pieces; some dug holes, and the others put the pieces of potatoes into the hole, put the earth back and push them down hard. We continued doing that until all the work was done. Although we were exhausted, but we felt fulfilled on our way back home.

【题目】

Arthur Miller(1915-2005)is universally recognized as one of the greatest dramatists of the 20th century. Miller` s father had moved to the USA from Austria Hungary,drawn like so many others by the Great American Dream. However, he experienced severe financial hardship when his family business was ruined in the Great Depression of the early l930s.

Millers' s most famous play, Death of a Salesman , is a powerful attack on the American system ,with its aggressive way of doing business and its insistence on money and social status as indicators of worth. In Willy Loman , the hero of the play, we see a man who has got into trouble with his worth. Willy is burnt out and in the cruel world of business there is no room for sentiment : if he can't do the work, then he is no good to his employer, the Wagner Company, and he must go. Willy is painfully aware of this, and at loss as to what to do with his lack of success. He refuses to face the fact that he has failed and kills himself in the end.

When it was first staged in 1949 ,the play was greeted with enthusiastic reviews ,and it won the Tony Award for Best Play, the New York Drama Critics` Circle Award, and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. It was the first play to win all three of these major awards.

Miller died of heart failure at his home in Roxbury, Connecticut ,on the evening of February 10,2005,the 56th anniversary of the first performance of Death of a Salesman on Broadway.
