Question

There once lived a young man who was always unhappy and complained about his poverty. One day, he went to see a fortune teller to inquire how to become      16     . The fortune teller said, "Young man, you are already wealthy now."

"Where is my wealth?" the young man asked     17    .

"It is with you. Your     18     is (are) your wealth. You use them to see this world. You use them to see all the     19    things in this world. You can read, study and learn. Your hands are your wealth. You can use them to work. You can use them to hug your beloved ones. Your     20     are your wealth. You can go to any places..." the fortune teller said.

"You call these wealth? Everyone has them," the young man said.

"These are wealth. What you have now are not what others can luckily have. Are you     21     to give your eyes to me? I am willing to give you a lot of money to     22      for them," the fortune teller said.

"No, are you crazy? I am not going to exchange my eyes for money! They are     23     to me!" the young man     24     .

"Precisely, these are wealth to you. You will not exchange them for money. Furthermore, although a lot of people have their wealthy things, they do not     25     them or treasure them. They are not     26     to Heaven for giving them their wealth. They even complain that Heaven is unfair to them. Do you want to    27     one of them before you will treasure them?" the fortune teller said.

Everyone is wealthy. But we should not     28    it for granted. We need to treasure our wealth, take care of it and use it     29     . We should not overuse it because once it is     30     , it is gone forever. Remember it is our wealth that we do not want to lose.

【解析】健康的身體就是我們最大的財(cái)富。

1.他不安于貧困，去找算命先生自然是詢問如何致富。

2.四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中只有A項(xiàng)anxiously可以表現(xiàn)他迫不及待的心情。

3.根據(jù)下文“You use them to see this world.”可知應(yīng)為eyes。

4.雖然四個(gè)選項(xiàng)所表示的都是眼睛可以看到的，但beautiful合乎算命先生說話的意思。

5.根據(jù)后面的“You can run very fast.”可知應(yīng)為legs。

6.根據(jù)后面的“I am willing to give you…”及willing的用法可知選D項(xiàng)。

7.charge和change意思不符；buy后不跟for, 所以用exchange。

8.根據(jù)前面的一句“I am not going to exchange my eyes for money!”可知年輕人不愿意交換，可以推斷眼睛對他來說是重要的、寶貴的。所以選A。

9.從年輕人說話的語氣推斷他應(yīng)該很生氣，所以沖著算卦先生大聲嚷道。yelled符合文中的情形。

10.realize為“意識(shí)到”，其他三個(gè)選項(xiàng)不妥。

11.對上蒼賜給我們的財(cái)富我們應(yīng)該心懷感激，grateful符合文意。

12.根據(jù)上文可知應(yīng)該選lose。

13.take…for granted是固定搭配。

14.根據(jù)上文“We need to treasure our wealth, take care of them…”推斷應(yīng)該選B項(xiàng)。

15.聯(lián)系下一句“…they are gone forever.”可知應(yīng)該選gone。gone是形容詞，表示動(dòng)作的完成，不表示被動(dòng)。
