泉州市2014高考英语文章突破一轮训练（7）及答案c7重庆卷 in his 1930 essay “economic possibilities for our grandchildren”， john keynes，a famous economist, wrote that human needs fall into two classes: absolute needs, which are independent of what others have, and relative needs, which make us feel superior to our fellows. he thought that although relative needs may indeed be insatiable(无止境的), this is not true of absolute needs. keynes was surely correct that only a small part of total spending is decided by the desire for superiority. he was greatly mistaken, however, in seeing this desire as the only source of insatiable demands. decisions to spend are also driven by ideas of quality which can influence the demand for almost all goods, including even basic goods like food. when a couple goes out for an anniversary dinner, for example, the thought of feeling superior to others probably never comes to them. their goal is to share a special meal that stands out from other meals. there are no obvious limits to the escalation of demands for quality. for example, porsche, a famous car producer, has a model which was considered perhaps the best sports car on the market. priced at over $120,000, it handles perfectly well and has great speed acceleration. but in 2004, the producer introduced some changes which made the model slightly better in handling and acceleration. people who really care about cars find these small improvements exciting. to get them, however, they must pay almost four times the price. by placing the desire to be superior to others at the heart of his description of insatiable demands, keynes actually reduced such demands. however, the desire for higher quality has no natural limits. 72. according to the passage, john keynes believed that_.a. desire is the root of both absolute and relative needs b. absolute needs come from our sense of superiority c. relative needs alone lead to insatiable demands d. absolute needs are stronger than relative needs 73. what do we know about the couple in paragraph 3? a. they want to show their superiority. b. they find specialty important to meals. c. their demands for food are not easily satisfied. d. their choice of dinner is related to ideas of quality. 74. what does the underlined word “escalation” in paragraph 4 probably mean? a. understanding. b. increase. c. difference. d. study. 75. the author of the passage argues that _. a. absolute needs have no limits b. demands for quality are not insatiable chuman desires influence ideas of qualityd. relative needs decide most of our spending 【要点综述】本文就人的需要的分类进行了论述。作者首先叙述了对john keynes观点的部分认同，但其后则是对其观点的批驳。该文作者认为，人的需要在很大程度上是对质量的无尽追求。72. c细节理解题。短文第一段最后一句说明john keynes需要论的观点：相对需要是无止境的。73. d推理判断题。从该段第一句可知作者在该段一再强调的是质量需求的重要性。这对夫妇在外面就餐庆祝结婚周年即体现了对该顿晚餐的选择与对其质量的要求相关。74. b词义猜测题。从该段材料对保时捷的改进及人们对此改进趋之若鹜的追求来看，人们对质量需求是不断提高的。因此可断定该词含义为“提高”。75. a推理判断题。第一段对john keynes关于absolute needs的观点进行了肯定和质疑，而下文提出质量需求是无止境的。该题主要说明作者对john keynes关于relative needs是无止境的论断的质疑。干扰最大的是b选项，该观点是作者的观点，而不是被质疑的观点。该题题干中的argue在此是“质疑和争辩”的意思。*结束故事类-湖南卷 a what makes a gift special? is it the price you see on the gift receipt？or is it the look on the recipients face when they receive it that determines the true value? what gift is worth the most? this christmas i was debating what to give my father. my dad is a hard person to buy for because he never wants anything. i pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for christmas shopping for him when i came across a message on my phone that i had locked. the message was from my father.my eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in wyoming，and underneath a poem by william blake. the flower, a lone dandelion standing against the bright blue sky，inspired me. my dad had been reciting those words to me since i was a kid. that may even be the reason why i love writing. i decided that those words would be my gift to my father.i called back. i told my mom to go without me and that i already created my gift. i sent the photo of the creamcolored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it. as i was arranging the details another poem came to mind. the poem was written by edgar allan poe；my dad recited it as much as he did the other.i typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it. the poem was focused around dreaming, and after searching i found the perfect picture. the image was painted with blues and greens and purples, twisting together to create the theme and wonder of a dream. as i watched both poems passing through the printer, the white paper coloring with words that shaped my childhood, i felt that this was a gift that my father would truly appreciate. christmas soon arrived. the minute i saw the look on my dads face as he unwrapped those swirling black letters carefully placed in a cheap frame, i knew i had given the perfect gift.56. the idea for a
