Question

In today’s world many people seem to be hungry for money. Money does have its most useful effect on the poor. But even if a person has already got plenty of money, he can’t get everything.

If money were everything, all millionaires would have real love, true friendship, good health and a long life. However, this is not always correct.

Since the beginning of time no three words have ever invited more pleasure than “I love you”. But can love be bought? I’m afraid not. Love means to give, not ________ (78). To every person, health and a long life are probably the best things. Well, can health and a long life be bought with money? The answer is “No”.

(79) Of all the longest living people in the world, few of them are millionaires. True friendship can’t be bought, either. In a word, where money is dreamed too much, it can cause brothers to quarrel, marriage to end, lovers to hate, and strangers to fight. No matter how much money you have, it is still not enough to make a happy person if you have no one to laugh with, no one to cry for.

【解析】

試題分析：在在當今世界的許多人似乎很看重錢。但是，即使一個人已經有足夠的錢，他不能得到的一切。

如果金錢是萬能的，所有的百萬富翁都會有真正的愛情，真正的友誼，健康長壽。然而，這并不總是正確的。每個人，健康和長壽可能是最好的東西。好了，用金錢能買來健康長壽嗎？答案是“不”。 愛是一種奉獻，不是索取。總之，錢夢想的地方太多了，它可以導致兄弟爭吵，婚姻的結束，愛或恨，和陌生人打架。

1.細節理解題。理解句意：現在表面看起來許多人非常想要錢。在文章中第一句話就體現，人們以錢的感覺是一種饑餓的狀態，故填：In today’s world many people seem to be hungry for money.

2.細節理解題。問題：對于每個人來說什么可能是最重要的？原文：To every person, health and a long life are probably the best things.句意：對于每個人，健康和生命長久可能是最好的事情。分析：最重要的也就是最好的，故填：Health and a long life.

3.細節理解題。考查固定用語：Love means to give, not to take.句意：愛是一種奉獻，不是索取。故填：to take

4.細節理解題。原句：Of all the longest living people in the world, few of them are millionaires.Of all譯為全部。The longest living 譯為：長壽。In the world譯為：在世界上。Few of them譯為：他們中很少的人。綜合譯為：世界上的百萬富翁中長壽的人不多。

5.細節理解題。全文總結題，只要了解全文的中心思想是講述錢并不是一切，愛是更重要的。故填：Is money everything? / Money doesn’t mean everything. / Love is more important than money.
