1.One day while a beggar (乞丐) was walking along from door to door begging,he was wondering why rich people were so greedy (貪婪的) and were always wanting more.
He came to a house.The owner had been a successful business man,and made himself terribly rich as a young man.But he was not satisfied.He built ships and sent them to sea to do business with foreign lands.But there were terrible storms on the sea,his ships were broken,and his riches were all lost in the sea.
"Men seem to be never satisfied unless they get the whole world.As for me,if I had only enough to eat and to wear,I would not want anything more,"the beggar said to himself.
Just at that moment,the Fortune (財神) came down the street.She said to him,"Listen!I have long wished to help you.Hold your wallet and I will pour this gold into it,but if it falls into the wallet,it shall be gold; if it falls on the ground,it shall become dust (塵土).Do you understand?"
"Oh,yes,I understand,"said the beggar.
"Then take care,"said the Fortune."Your wallet is old.It can't hold much."
The beggar was so happy that he could hardly wait.He quickly opened his wallet,and a stream of yellow dollars poured into it.The wallet grew heavy.
"Is that enough?"asked Fortune.
"Not yet."
"Can you still hold it?"
"Yes."
The beggar's hands began to tremble.He wished the gold would keep pouring.
"You are the richest man in the world now!"
"Just a little more,add just one or two."
"There,it's full.The wallet will break."
"But it will hold a little,just a little more!"
Another piece was added,and the wallet broke.The gold fell on the ground and turned to dust.

分析 一天,一個乞丐挨家挨戶乞討,他想知道為什么有錢人都那么貪婪,總是想要更多.他來到一所房子,主人是一個成功的商人,是一個非常有錢的年輕人.但他并不滿意,他建造了船,并派他們到海上與外國人做生意,但一場可怕的風(fēng)暴使他的船沉了,他的財富都在海上失去了."人似乎永遠(yuǎn)不會滿足,除非他們得到了整個世界.對我來說,如果我有足夠的吃和穿,我就不會想要更多的東西,"乞丐對自己說.就在那一刻,財神來到街上,他對乞丐說,"聽著!我很愿意幫你.給我你的錢包,我會用金子填滿它,但如果它掉到地上,就會變成塵土.你明白嗎?""是的,我明白了,"乞丐說."那么小心,"財神說,"你的錢包舊了,裝不下太多."那個乞丐很高興,等不及了,他很快打開錢包,金黃色的錢流進(jìn)了它的錢包."這夠嗎?"."還不夠.""你還能拿住它嗎?""是的."乞丐的手開始顫抖,他希望金子繼續(xù)流進(jìn)來."你是世界上最富有的人了!""再多一點,只添加一個或兩個.""它已經(jīng)滿了,錢包會破的.""但它還能多盛一點,只是一點!"又增加了一個,錢包壞了,金子掉在地上,變成了灰塵.

解答 51.答案A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題 由文中 The owner had been a successful business man,and made himself terribly rich as a young man可知 主人是一個成功的商人,是一個非常有錢的年輕人,故選A
52.答案B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題 由文中 He built ships and sent them to sea to do business with foreign lands.But there were terrible storms on the sea,his ships were broken,and his riches were all lost in the sea可知 他建造了船,并派他們到海上與外國人做生意,但一場可怕的風(fēng)暴使他的船沉了,他的財富都在海上失去了,故選B
53.答案B 詞義理解題 由文中"Can you still hold it?""Yes."The beggar's hands began to tremble.He wished the gold would keep pouring.可知"你還能拿住它嗎?""是的."乞丐的手開始…,他希望金子繼續(xù)流進(jìn)來,顫抖在這里最為合適,已經(jīng)快裝不下了,乞丐還是希望繼續(xù)裝,形容裝金子的包已經(jīng)很重了.故選B
54.答案D 文章理解題 由文中財神給乞丐錢,而乞丐還是很貪婪的想要更多,導(dǎo)致最后沒能得到一分錢可知,財神想給他上一課,讓他知道自己也是貪婪的,想要的更多,最后失去的也更多,故選D
55.答案A 文章理解題 由文中 財神給乞丐錢,而乞丐還是很貪婪的想要更多這個故事可知 本文最合適的題目應(yīng)當(dāng)是貪婪的乞丐,故選A
