试题答案
答案：1．A;2．C;3．D;4．C;5．B;6．A;7．B;8．D;9．B;10．C;11．D;12．B;13．B;14．C;15．A;16．A;17．C;18．D;19．A;20．D;
解析：
(2) | 他一直“想知道(wondering)”，为什么那些人那么有钱还不感到“满足(satisfied)”，还想得到更多。 |
(3) | eat与本空后的wear构成并列：要是我的话，只要有“吃(eat)”、有穿，我就什么也不想要了。 |
(4) | 由文章第一句可知，这个乞丐正在街上挨门乞讨。由此可知，命运女神是降落到“街上(street)”。 |
(5) | 命运女神准备“帮助(help)”这个乞丐。 |
(6) | 文章首句中的an old wallet是提示。 |
(7) | 本空后就是命运女神所提出的帮助他的“条件(condition)”。 |
(8) | 文章最后一段有提示：落在钱包里的是纯金币，掉在“地上(ground)”的将变成尘土。 |
(9) | 命运女神要开始往里倒金币了，提醒乞丐“小心(have a care)”。 |
(10) | 文章第一句中的old给出了提示。 |
(11) | 根据下句的He quickly opened his wallet可推断，乞丐“等不及了(could hardly wait)”。 |
(12) | 由很快钱包就变得沉甸甸可知，“一串串的(a stream of)”金币被倒进了钱包里。15空前的the golden stream是提示。 |
(13) | 从上句的cracking可知，命运女神怕钱包会破。乞丐叫她别“担心(fear)”。 |
(14) | 钱包里装了太多的金子，变得很沉。乞丐快拿不动了，双手开始“颤抖(tremble)”。 |
(15) | 要是金币能不停地“流入(pour)”钱包该多好啊！上文6空后pour this gold是提示。 |
(16) | 再添点，哪怕“添(Add)”一两把也行。 |
(17) | 现在已经装得很满了，钱包很快就会“爆裂(burst)”。 |
(18) | hold在此意为“盛得下”。 |
(19) | 这些金币就是一笔很大的“财富(treasure)”。 |
(20) | 所有的金币都变成了灰尘。这个乞丐除了一个破钱包之外，一无所有。 |
