English speakers are always s making new words and we should be able to know 16 most words come from. Sometimes, however, no one may really know where 17 word comes form. Did you ever think about why hamburgers are called hamburgers, 18 (especial) when they are not made 19 ham? About a hundred years ago, some men went to America from Europe. They came from a big city in Germany called Hamburg. They did not speak good English, 20 they ate good food. Some Americans saw the eating round pieces of beef. Never 21 they seen such ad strange way. They couldnt help 22 (ask) the Germans what it was. The Germans did not understand the question and answered, “we came from Hamburg.” One of these Americans owned a restaurant, and had an idea. He 23 (make) up his mind to do something new. He cooked some round pieces of the beef like what the men from Hamburg ate and sold it quite a few 24 (country) around the world. Whether this story is true or not, it certainly is 25 (interest). 阅读理解（共 10 小题，每小题 2 分，共 20 分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项，并在答 题卡上将该项涂黑。 A People do not analyze every problem they meet. Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a similar problem. They often accept the opinions or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without thinking. They try to find a solution by trial and error. However, when all these methods fail, the person with a problem has to start analyzing. There are six stages in analyzing a problem. First the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sams bicycle is broken, and he cannot read it to class as he usually does. Sam must see that there is a problem with his bicycle. Next the thinker must define the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must find out the reason why it does not work. For instance, he must determine if the problem is with the gears, the brakes, or the frame. He must make his problem more specific. Now the person must look for information that will make the problem clearer and lead to possible solutions. For instance, suppose Sam decided that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the gear wheels. At this time, he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about gears. He can talk to his friends at the bike 3 shop. He can look at his gears carefully. After studying the problem, the person should have several suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an illustration. His suggestions might be: put oil on the gear wheels; buy new gear wheels and replace the old ones; tighten or loosen the gear wheels. Eventually one suggestion seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the final idea comes very suddenly because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a new way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees that there is a piece of chewing gum between the gear wheels. He immediately realizes the solution to his problem: he must clean the gear wheels. Finally the solution is tested. Sam cleans the gear wheels and finds that afterwards his bicycle works perfectly. In short , he has solved the problem. 26. What is the best title for this passage? A. Six Stages for Repairing Sams Bicycle B. Possible Ways to Problem-solving C. Necessities of Problem Analysis D. Suggestions for Analyzing a Problem 27. In analyzing a problem we should do all the following except . A. recognize and define the problem B. look for information to make the problem clearer C. have suggestions for a possible solution D. find a solution by trial or mistake 28. By referring to Sams broken bicycle, the author intends to _. A. illustrate the ways to repair his bicycle B. discuss the problems of his bicycle C. tell us how to solve a problem D. show us how to analyze a problem 29. Which of the following is NOT true? A. People do not analyze the problem they meet. B. People often accept the opinions or ideas of other people. C. People may learn from their past experience. D. People can not solve some problems they meet. 30. As used in the last sentence, the phrase “in short” means _. A. in the long run B. in detail C. in a word D. in the end B Most Americans get what money they have from their work; that is, they earn an income from wages or salaries. The richest Americans, however, get most of their money from what they own their stocks, bonds, real estate, and other forms of property, or wealth. Although there are few accurate statistics to go by, wealth in American society appears to be concentrated in very few hands. More than 20 percent of everything that can be privately owned is held by less than one percent of the adult population and more than 75 percent of all wealth is owned by 20 percent of American adults. The plain fact is that most Americans have no wealth at all aside from their homes, automobiles, and a small amount of savings. Income in the United States is not as highly concentrated as wealth. In 1917 the richest 10 percent of American families received 26.1 percent of all income, while the poorest 10 percent received 17 percent, mainly from Social Security and other government payments. The most striking aspect of income distribution is that it has not changed significantly since the end of World War II. Although economic growth has roughly doubled real disposable (可自由使用的) family income (the money left after taxes and adjusted for inflation) over the last generation, the size of the shares given to the rich and the poor is about the same. By any measure economic inequality is great in the United States. The reality behind these statistics is that a large number of Americans are poor. In 1918, 14 percent of the population was living below the federal governments poverty line, which at that time was an annual income of $ 9 287 for a nonfarm family of two adults and two children. In other words, about one out of seven Americans over 31 million people was officially considered unable to buy the basic necessities of food, clothes, and shelter. The suggested poverty line in 1981 would have been an income of about $11 200 for a family of four. By this relative definition, about 20 percent of the population or more than 45 million Americans are poor. 31. What does the majority of the Americans have in terms of wealth? A. Their income and savings. B. Everything they own in their homes. C. Actually, they have no wealth at all. D. Their house, cars and small amounts of savings. 32. What is the percentage of wealth that is in the hands of most Americans? A. More than 25%. B. Less than 25%. C. More than 75%. D. Less than 20%. 33. Why is economic inequality still great in the US in spite of the economic growth? A. Because the proportion of income received by the rich and the poor remains almost the same as in 1917. B. Because the economic growth has widened the gap of the family income between the rich and the poor. C. Because income in the US is still concentrated in the hands of the richest 10% of American families. D. Because some Americans made great fortunes during the Second World War. 34. What can we learn from comparison of the two poverty lines in the last paragraph? A. The poverty line of 1918 is more favorable to the poor than that of 1981. B. The 1981 line didnt leave much to the poor. C. There were more Americans who were officially poor by the 1981 line. D. There were more Americans who were officially poor by the 1918 line. 35. From the last two sentences we can see that 1981 governments poverty line _. A. was of no good for the poor B. was not put into operation then C. was officially approved D. was not helpful to the poor 5 1-5 D C A C D 6-10 D C C B A 11-15 C A B B A 16.where 17.a 18.especially 19. of 20. but 21. had 22. asking 23. made up 24. countries 25. interesting 2630 BDCAC 3135 DBACB 【答案与解析】一个沿街乞讨的乞丐遇到了财富女神，财富女神给了乞丐许多金币，同时 告诫乞丐，金币掉到地上则化为灰尘，贪婪的乞丐不听劝告，导致金币撑破钱包化为灰尘， 乞丐又变得一无所有。故事告诫人们面对金钱不要贪得无厌。 1.D 考查动词辨析。根据第一段最后一句，为什么那些人如此有钱却从不满足，还想得到更 多。可知乞丐对此百思不得其解， “keep wondering”(一直想知道 )符合句意。 2.C 考查动词辨析。由常识可知，乞丐最重要的是要解决吃和穿的问题。eat( 吃) 对应下面提 到的“穿”符合情景，learn“学习”，watch“看、观察”，play“游戏”，均不符合情景。 3.A 考查名词辨析。根据第一段，乞丐在沿街乞讨，所以财富女神降落到大街上才能看到乞 丐。street(街道)符合文意。bridge“ 桥”，yard“院子”，forest“森林”，均不符合文意。 4.C 考查动词辨析。根据下文，打开你的钱包，我要给你一些金子，可知财富女神在帮助乞 丐。所以选 help 意为：“ 帮助” 。praise“表扬”，forgive“原谅 ”， comfort“安慰”，不符情景。 5.D 考查名词辨析。根据第三段中 “All that falls into the wallet will be pure gold”(所有进入你钱 包的都是纯金)可知乞丐打开的是一个钱包， 所以选 wallet， “钱包” 。 6.D 考查名词辨析。只有在这种条件下，我才会去做。 “All that falls into the wallet will be pure gold; but every piece falling upon the 8 shall become dust”代指上文提到的这种条件。 condition“条件、状况”符合句意。 7.C 考查名词辨析。语境为：每一枚金币掉到地上都会变成尘土，ground(地面)符合情景。 8.C 考查动词短语辨析。根据下文财富女神告诫乞丐不要装的太重，提醒乞丐注意、当心。 所以选 look out。look after 照顾，look up 仰视、向上看，look down 俯视。 9.B 考查动词辨析， could hardly wait to do 意为：“ 迫不及待的干某事 ”。句意：激动的乞丐 早已迫不及待的想拿到金子。 10A.考查名词。根据倒数第三段中提到 “golden stream”可知答案。 11.C 考查动词辨析。通过乞丐告诉财富女神钱包现在还很结实，可知不要为钱包担心。 Never fear“不要害怕”。 12.A 考查动词。乞丐希望金子源源不断的流出，四个选项中只有 pour(流出)能形象的描绘出 乞丐的贪婪。 13.B 考查动词辨析。对应前文的“ Just a little more,”可知，这里表达的意思是：贪婪的乞丐想 再往钱包中多装一两把金子。add(添加) 符合句意。take 拿、携带”，lend“借出
