Question

【题目】In today’s world many people seem to be hungry for money. Some of them even lose their lives for it. Money does have its most useful effect(影响)on the poor，but once a person has a rich life，a lot more money doesn’t mean more happiness.

If money was everything，all millionaires(百万富翁)would have true love, true friendship，good health and a long life. However，this is not always true.

Nothing else is more pleasant than the three words which are “I love you”. But can love be bought？I’m afraid not. Love means to give，not to take. To every person，health and long life are probably the most precious(宝贵的)things. Well，can health and a long life be bought with money？The answer is “No”.

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 worshiped(崇拜)，money can cause brothers to quarrel，lovers to hate，strangers to fight and so on. No matter how much money you have，it is still not enough to make you a happy person if you have no one to laugh with，no one to cry for.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】C

【2】B

【3】B

【4】C

【解析】

这篇短语主要介绍了金钱与幸福之间的关系，告诉我们要正确认识金钱。钱很重要，但不是最重要的，有些东西是用金钱买不到的，比如友谊、健康、长寿和真爱。爱意味着奉献，而不是索取。当今世界有些人虽然很富有，但是并不感到幸福，在世界上最长寿的人中，很少有人是百万富翁。真正的友谊也买不到。

【1】题意：根据这段话，你认为下列哪一项是正确的？考查细节理解。A. Money is everything. 金钱就是一切；B. Money isn’t necessary. 不需要钱；C. Money is important，but not the most important. 钱很重要，但不是最重要的；D. With no money，with no success. 没有钱，就不会成功。根据第二段“如果金钱是一切，所有的百万富翁都会有真爱、真正的友谊、健康和长寿。然而，这并不总是正确的。”可知A错误；根据第1段第一句In today’s world many people seem to be hungry for money. Some of them even lose their lives for it.（在今天的世界里，许多人似乎渴望钱。他们中的一些人甚至为此失去了生命。）可知B错误，钱是必要的；“没有钱，就不会成功。” 这句话太片面，本文没有讨论，可知D错误。根据第1段第3句Money does have its most useful effect(影响)on the poor，but once a person has a rich life，a lot more money doesn’t mean more happiness.（金钱确实对穷人有最有用的影响，但一旦一个人拥有了丰富的生活，更多的金钱并不意味着更多的幸福。）可知钱很重要，但不是最重要的；故C是正确的；选C。

【2】题意：根据这段话，下列哪句话是正确的？考查细节理解。A. If you haven’t much money，you can’t get more happiness. 如果你没有很多钱，你就不能得到更多的幸福；B. You may live a long life even if you are poor. 即使你很穷，你也可能活得很长；C. Every year many people die in the world because their family is poor. 每年世界上有许多人因为家庭贫困而死去；D. If you are rich，you will have less friendship. 如果你富有，你会有更少的友谊。根据第3段第5句To every person，health and long life are probably the most precious(宝贵的)things.（对每个人来说，健康和长寿可能是最宝贵的。）可知“即使你很穷，你也可能活得很长”；选B。

【3】题意：事实上，所有的百万富翁都__________。考查细节理解。A. have less money有较少的钱；B. die earlier死得比较早；C. hate their money讨厌他们的钱；D. have true love拥有真爱。根据第4段第1句Of all the longest living people in the world, few of them are millionaires.（在世界上最长寿的人中，很少有人是百万富翁。）可知B正确的；选B。

【4】题意：“Love means to give, not to take.”这句话在文章中是什么意思？考查细节理解。根据上文Nothing else is more pleasant than the three words which are “I love you”. But can love be bought？I’m afraid not.（没有什么比“我爱你”这三个字更令人愉快的了。但是爱情可以买到吗？恐怕不行。）结合选项可知“Love means to give, not to take.”意思是“爱意味着奉献，而不是索取。”故答案是C。
