a. introducing a new way of life. b. sharing in the financial crisis. c. how to reduce the living expense. d. how to handle the financial crisis.53. why do people in modern times give up the sharing mind-set? a. because they dont need it at all. b. because they arent interested in it. c. because they are busy with work. d. because they hate being disturbed. 54. the underlined phrase “cut back” in para. 3 probably means _.a. shared b. helped c. abandoned d. reduced55. it can be inferred from the passage that _. a. more and more americans solve problems in their daily life by helping each other .b. if the prices of service goes down, individual consumers wont do something themselves. c. the sharing-mind set is a strange to many americans.d. when the crisis ends, americans will abandon the sharing-mind set. 体裁：记述文 词数：320 难度系数： 建议用时：7分钟 类别： 主旨大意+细节理解+词义猜测+推理判断 本文标题：sharing【文章大意】本文主要讲了在经济危机之下，美国人又重新拾起了分享这一生活方式，以便共同度过难关。 52.【考点分析】主旨大意题。【参考答案】b。【解题思路】根据文章第一段第一句中出现的“sharing and sharing alike”以及下面所举的例子，可知本文主要是讲述了经济危机中人们之间的互相分享。53.【考点分析】细节理解题。【参考答案】c。【解题思路】根据倒数第二段中的最后一句话“they worked so much”推知人们都忙于自己的工作，故参考答案为c。54.【考点分析】词义猜测题。【参考答案】d。【解题思路】根据划线部分后举的例子，指人们在一些方面减少了开支，可推知cut back的意思是“减少”，故参考答案为d。 55.【考点分析】推理判断题。【参考答案】a。【解题思路】根据文章的中心思想是sharing以及文中所举的例子可以看出，更多的美国人倾向于互相分享、帮助解决问题。 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c、d）中，选出最佳选项。meet the ten richest people in the world in 2000 (ii)5. king fahd bin abdulaziz alsaudage: 77. nationality: saudi arabian. marital status: married. children: 1. worth: $28 billion.born in riyadh in 1923, the king has spent his life on one diplomatic mission after another. he came to power in 1982, and all of his money is in oil, investments, property, and the sweat of his people. all because of the great defining factor of birth. yes, birth and dumb luck.4. sultan hassanal bolkiahage: 53. nationality: bruneian. marital status: married. children: 10. worth: $30 billion.the money of the 29th sultan of brunei is in, say it with me now, oil, gas, investments, and yes, the ever-popular sweat of his people. especially that oil thing, which has made so many billionaires in the middle east. the illustrious sultan also has two wives and ten kids.3. gardner paul allenage: 46. nationality: american. marital status: single. children: 0. worth: $30 billionanother microsoft billionaire, paul allen is the buddy who dropped out with bill gates to build the software company that now holds a monopolistic stranglehold on the world. paul dropped out of microsoft some time ago to spend his time privately investing his money. he pursues his dream of a wired world by buying up cable operators and other technology-related companies. its not all tedious tech stuff, though. paul was also smart enough to invest in sports teams. single guy, $30 billion, owns a couple of sports teams, knows bill gates personally.2. warren edward buffetage: 68. nationality: american. marital status: married. children: 3. worth: $36 billion.strangely enough, buffets investment style is conservative, leaning more to the long-term buy. warren owns about 40 percent of the investment conglomerate berkshire hathawa, and at over $47,000 a share, it will be a while before anyone buys him out.1. william h. gates iiiage: 43. nationality: american. martial status: married. children: 2. worth: $90 billion.we should all just face the fact bill gates will one day rule the world. by the time windows 2015 comes out, all will fear bills wrath. the son of a lawyer father and teacher mother, gates dropped out of harvard university to work on microsoft. the rest, as they all too frequently say, is history. microsoft became this huge international corporation, and is currently fighting off anti-trust investigations and accusations that it holds a monopoly. when bill rules the world, hes going to fire those federal court judges with extreme prejudice. theyll never work on his planet again!so to get onto our list of the seven habits of highly effective billionaires, you must: join microsoft (preferably early on), be an oil baron, drop out of college, get married, have 3.1 kids, inherit lots of money, and bleed your people dry. tell your friends!阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c、d）中，选出最佳选项。features of american campus life (i)- busynessamerican students are typically very busy. undergraduate students often have part-time jobs in addition to their studies. some even have two or three part-time jobs to earn money to support their studies. graduate students have large quantities of material to study, and may also have jobs (graduate assistantships and others) and families. this busyness limits their time for social activity and for incorporating new people into their social circles.- male-female relationshipmale and female american students associate with each other rather freely.
