Several days ago, I met a stranger in the street who stopped and asked me directions. I 1 to show him the way to the destination, but to my 2 , he coldly refused my offer. I asked him why. Finally he told me that he was 3 I would ask him for money if I 4 him in this way.
Money! I 5 deep into thought. Is it money that comes between us? Money has no 6 ; it cannot be 7 with good or bad.
The problem 8 what attitude we have towards it.
At present, we have a more 9 material life than ever before, but we're becoming more and more 10 . Why? In my opinion, the 11 is the change in people's personal 12 . They wrongly believe that 13 money should be their only aim in life, so they 14 all sorts of ways they can to 15 this aim.
They are afraid of being 16 and fooled. If everyone acts like this, what will our 17 be like?
Needless to say, money is becoming more and more important in our society, 18 it shouldn't be the “be-all and end-all” of life. If a person only concentrates (全神贯注) on 19 , he will be lonely and void (空虚), and even go astray (犯错误).
It is important for us to make our lives happy, not money. We should try our best to help others 20 and freely. If everyone does so, our society will be better and better.

1.offer to do sth.意为“(主动)提出做某事”,从后文“he coldly refused my offer.”可知. 2.“我”提出要帮他,但他冷冷地拒绝了,这出乎“我”的意料,因此用to mysurprise固定搭配:出乎某人意料,令某人惊奇. 3.他担心“我”会向他要钱.be afraid of担心害怕某事. 4.从前文我们得知此空填helped. 5.fall deep into thought意为“陷入沉思”. 6.作者认为问题并不是出在钱本身.D项有一定干扰性,从后文“money isbecoming more and more important in our society”看,作者承认钱是重要的,因此D项不合题意. 7.因为问题并非出在钱身上,因此钱与好坏无关,connect… with…和……连接在一起. 8.本段是对第二段的总结.钱本身与好坏无关,问题取决于我们对钱的态度. 9.“目前,我们的物质生活比以前更丰富了”.powerful意思是“力量大的”,不合题意. 10.but一词对此空的选择起了重要作用.物质生活丰富了,然而人们却越来越冷漠了. 11.key在这里的意思是“关键”. 12.“关键是人们价值观的改变”.personal values意为“个人价值观”. 13.“他们错误地认为赚钱是他们一生中惟一的目标”. 14.think up在这里的意思是“想出”. 15.“他们想尽各种办法来实现这个目标”.this aim指“赚钱的目标”. 16.从空后的fooled得此答案. 17.通过上下文我们可以看出,作者在此由个人推及整个社会,因此B项为最佳答案. 18.前后之间为转折关系,所以选but. 19.整个文章中讲人们对钱的追求,从后句可以得此答案. 20.whole-heartedly意为“全心全意地”. |
