think about it.” “i know, i know,” she answered with a little bit anger.4 then one morning june called, “ive decided how i want to use my new inheritance. i want to see what you think,” she said. this wasnt something i looked forward to, but we had been friends so long.5 as we sat, june spread a sheet of paper on the table. to my great surprise, she had written only two words: charities, and grandchildren-in that order. though i had promised to keep quiet, i couldnt keep from asking how she came to this decision.6 “well,” she said, “i took your advice and thought about it.” she added, “helping others means a lot to me, so im hoping this gift will help people in need.”7 i interrupted, “but what about this big apartment you most hope to have?”8 “at first it was hard, but it doesnt seem as important any more”, she answered with a smile.9 then june moved her hand, and i could see a few words written in tiny letters at the bottom of the page. after having a look at the small print, i burst into laughter. june had written: and one new wardrobe.【文章大意】作者讲述了自己朋友june在得到一笔大额遗产之后的心里变化，从开始的震惊到兴奋到犹豫到最后的毅然决然，决定要捐献给慈善机构以及自己的儿孙们，留给自己的只有买一个新的大衣柜的钱，说明主题：我们并非因为拥有很多而富有，却是因为我们（没钱却）能有意义的事情而富有。【篇章结构】段落关键词大意推测第一部分（para.1）a new wardrobe, a bigger apartment, to everyones surprise, large inheritance朋友琼梦想买一个新的大衣柜，搬到一个大公寓里。令人吃惊的是，她得到了一大笔遗产。第二部分（para.2-3）shock, excited, making lists, spend her new wealth, revising the list, spend all your inheritance at once, a little bit anger.震惊兴奋之余，考虑如何用这笔遗产，想要修正之前的想法。作者劝她，她有些不高兴。第三部分（para.4-9）call, charities, and grandchildren, help people in need, one new wardrobe琼经过思考决定先捐给慈善机构一部分，然后留给子孙一部分，最后给自己买一个大衣柜。【信息提取】1from the passage we can learn that the writer at first . awas richer than her friend june bwas no richer than her friend junecwas poorer than her friend june dwas interested in money as june2when making a list of how to deal with her inheritance, june .adidnt change it at allbhad a quarrel with the writerckept it secret from the writerdmade some changes to it3when june called the writer to talk about her new decision, the writer .afelt that june would do something meaningfulbrefused the invitation at first, but changed her mind laterchad decided not to make any comments on junes listdwas eager to learn more about the new list4. what did the writer think of her friends new decision?a. she found it funny and wrong.b. she found it unacceptable and unbelievable.c. she found it surprising and meaningful.d. she found it difficult and meaningless.【解析】1.【答案】b【试题解析】细节题。题干是在拿作者与其朋友june的贫富程度做比较，从第一段的“if i ever get rich, im getting a.” i thought of her words and her chances of being rich are about as good as mine.可以看出，两人都不富裕，故正确答案是b. 此题运用定位法。2.【答案】d【试题解析】细节题。题干说的是june在列表决定如何花这笔钱的时候，发生了什么。此题可以用排除法。两人之间虽然有一点点的不愉快（she answered with a little bit anger），但并没有发生争吵，故排除选项b; june后来打电话告知作者决定如何处理遗产，排除选项c; 至于june前后有没有改动列表，根据第二段中的 i was not surprised to find her writing down all the ways she would spend her new wealth.以及第四段中的then one morning june called, “ive decided how i want to use my new inheritance.可知，做了改动，排除选项a.3.【答案】c【试题解析】细节题。根据题干意思定位在第五段的though i had promised to keep quiet说明作者开始是决定要保持沉默，也就是不做任何评论。4.【答案】c【试题解析】细节题。从第五段的“to my great surprise,.”, 可以看出，作者对june的变化感到很惊讶；从第六段“i took your advice and thought about it.” she added, “helping others means a lot to me, so im hoping this gift will help people in need.” 可以看出，june觉得帮助别人很有意义，而这是她在听取了作者的建议之后的想法。所以，正确答案是c.【词汇扩充】1. chance n. 机会，机遇；概率，可能性；偶然，运气it was a chance to start a fresh.这是个重新开始的机会。they sat bemoaning the fact that no one would give them a chance.他们坐着埋怨别人不肯给他们一个机会。is there any chance of getting tickets for tonight?有可能弄到今晚的票吗？he had long coveted the chance to work with a famous musician.他一直渴望有机会与著名音乐家一起工作。2. wealth n.财产，财富the equation of wealth with happiness can be dangerous.把财富与幸福等同起来可能是危险的。he did not believe in flaunting his wealth.他不赞成摆阔。the team has a wealth of home-grown talent.该队有很多自己培养的人才。3.advice n.劝告，忠告call our customer careline for advice.请拨打我们的客户服务热线咨询。they meet at the club for companionship and advice.他们在俱乐部相会是为了联谊和寻求建议。4. interrupt vt.& vi.打断（别人的话等）； 阻止； 截断vt.暂停； 中断； 打扰； 妨碍vi.打断n.中断； 暂停sorry to interrupt, but theres someone to see you.对不起打扰一下，有人要见你。it was all irrelevant, but i didnt dare interrupt him in midflow.他说的事情全都不相关，但我还是不敢中途打断他。it is not polite to interrupt a speaker with frequent questions.不断提问打断演讲者是不礼貌的。it is not polite to interrupt when someone is talking.在别人讲话时插嘴是不礼貌的。youd better not interrupt him. he is sleeping.你最好别打扰他，他在睡觉。【长难句解析】1. june is a great believer in making lists, so i was not surprised to find her writing down all the ways she would spend her new wealth.【翻译】琼笃信列表，因此当我发现她列出打算怎么花掉这笔财产的所有方式时，我并不感到惊讶。【分析】整个句子是并列句，并列连词是so, 在后面一个分句中，writing down all the ways是分词短语做宾语her的补足语，最后的she would spend her new wealth是定语从句，修饰先行词ways.2. though i had promised to keep quiet, i couldnt keep from asking how she came to this decision.【翻译】尽管我已经发誓保持沉默，但我还是忍不住问她是怎么做出这个决定的。【分析】整个句子是一个主从符合句，though引导了一个让步状语从句，在主句中，how引导了一个宾语从句，做动名
