Question

13．（1）Many people seem to be hungry for money in today's world．Money does have its most useful effect on the poor．But even if a person has already got plenty of money，he may not be happy．
If money were everything，all millionaires（百万富翁）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 to take．To every person，health and a long life are probably the best things．（2）用钱能买得到健康和长寿吗？The answer is"No"．
（3）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 hppy person if you have no one to laugh with，no one to cry for．

Answer 1

分析 文章大意：此文围绕金钱展开话题，讨论了钱虽然有用，但买不到爱，买不到友情，买不到健康与长寿，说明了钱不能万能的，甚至还可能导致一些问题．

解答 61．It seems that many people are hungry for money in today's world．同义句转换题．原句中用到了sb seem（s） to do sth的用法，可以用it seems that+从句来表示同样的意思．此题从句的主语many people是复数，所以be动词要用are，其它保持不变．
62．Can good health and long life be bought with money？句子翻译题．由上文中的can love be bought（用钱能买到爱吗）可知，此题可以用同样的句型来翻译，且和buy间是动宾关系，当good health and long life做主语时，要用被动语态，谓语部分结构为be+及物动词的过去分词，此题用在情态动词can后，用be动词原形加上buy的过去分词bought即可；介词with表示用…（工具），"用钱买"用with money来表达即可．
63．世上最长寿的人中，有很少人是百万富翁的． 句子翻译题．of…表示在…中，表示范围常与形容词最高级连用，longest living people表示最长寿的人，few of表示少数的，后加可数名词复数，millionaires表示百万富翁，综合以上分析可得出正确的句子．
64． health and a long life．细节理解题．由To every person，health and a long life are probably the best things可知健康和长寿对每个人来说都是最好的东西，由此可知答案为health and a long life．
65．Money is not everything．归纳概括题．通过对文章的理解可知，最重要的是健康长寿，而不是金钱，由此可知标题为Money is not everything是合理的．

点评 阅读题首先要快速浏览一遍文章，特别是对首尾段的浏览，因为主旨通常暗藏在首尾段；此类题还考查对语法短语和翻译能力的掌握．
