【解析】

本文通過一位埃及智者Zun-Nun賣戒指的故事告誡人們不要僅僅從一個人的著裝上來判斷其價值。

【1】句意：目前穿著整潔是很有必要的，對嗎？

strange 陌生的；奇怪的；uneasy 憂慮的；不安的；necessary 有必要的。根據(jù)前文提到的“why do you dress in such a way?”可知智者的著裝不符合他的身份，年輕人對智者的穿著很詫異，因此此處意為“有必要”穿著整潔。故選C。

【2】句意：否則人們?nèi)绾蔚弥�您是一位真正的智者呢�?/span>

hardly 幾乎不；really 真正；finally 最終。此處想表達(dá)通過著裝可以彰顯身份的意思，因此應(yīng)是“真正的”智者。故選B。

【3】句意：Zun-Nun笑了，從他的手指上取下戒指并且說道：“年輕人，我會回答你的問題，但前提是你得為我做一件事情。”

ring 戒指；leaf 葉子；gold 金子。根據(jù)“…from his finger…”以及下文去市場上賣戒指的經(jīng)歷，可知是戒指。故選A。

【4】句意：你能以一根金條的價格賣掉它嗎？

sell 賣；buy 買；find 找到，發(fā)現(xiàn)。前文提到“Take this ring to the market.”意為“把戒指帶去市場�！�，根據(jù)常識，可知是“賣掉”。故選A。

【5】句意：當(dāng)年輕人看著這臟臟的戒指，他暗自想了想說：“我怎樣才能以那個價格賣掉呢？”

useful 有用的；dirty 臟的；valuable 有價值的。根據(jù)“How will I sell it at that price?”可知年輕人比較糾結(jié)，因?yàn)樵谒�看來，戒指并不那么物有所值。且根�?jù)整篇文章的主題：不以外貌取人，可知戒指外表很臟。故選B。

【6】句意：當(dāng)年輕人看著這臟臟的戒指，他暗自想了想說：“我怎樣才能以那個價格賣掉呢？”

thought to 心中想，自思自忖；thought about 思考，考慮；thought of 思考；想起。think to oneself 意為“自思自忖”，此處是年輕人的暗自考量，故選A。

【7】句意：但是沒人愿意支付一根金條。

everybody 每個人；somebody 某人；nobody 無人。根據(jù)后文可知年輕人沒有賣出去，無此處應(yīng)選“無人”。故選C。

【8】句意：“不要給出價格�！�

coin 硬幣；price 價格；word 單詞。根據(jù)下一句“Just see how much he will pay.”意為“先看看他會付出多少�！彼�以此處應(yīng)是不要給出“價格”。故選B。

【9】句意：但是金店主人給了我1000根金條的價格。

took 帶走；offered 提供；shared 分享。offer sb. sth. 意為“提供給某人某物”。此處表示金店主人主動報(bào)價格，符合題意。故選B。

【10】句意：一個人的價值不能從他的衣著來體現(xiàn)。

required 需要；reminded 提醒；valued 價值。此句點(diǎn)出主題：人們不要僅僅從一個人的著裝上來判斷其價值。故選C。
