10、ering”(一直想知道)符合句意。2.B考查形容词辨析。还想得到的更多，所以不满足，“Never satisfy”(从不满足)符合句意。3.C考查动词辨析。由常识可知，乞丐最重要的是要解决吃和穿的问题。eat(吃)对应下面提到的“穿”符合情景，learn“学习”，watch“看、观察”，play“游戏”，均不符合情景。4.A考查名词辨析。根据第一段，乞丐在沿街乞讨，所以财富女神降落到大街上才能看到乞丐。street(街道)符合文意。bridge“桥”，yard“院子”，forest“森林”，均不符合文意。5.C考查动词辨析。根据下文，打开你的钱包，我要给你一些金子，可知财富女神在帮助乞丐。所

11、以选help意为：“帮助”。praise“表扬”，forgive“原谅”， comfort“安慰”，均不符合情景。6.D考查名词辨析。根据第三段中“All that falls into the wallet will be pure gold”(所有进入你钱包的都是纯金)可知乞丐打开的是一个钱包，所以选 wallet，“钱包”。7.D考查名词辨析。只有在这种条件下，我才会去做。“All that falls into the wallet will be pure gold; but every piece falling upon the 8 shall become dust”代指上文提

12、到的这种条件。condition“条件、状况”符合句意。8.C考查名词辨析。语境为：每一枚金币掉到地上都会变成尘土，ground(地面)符合情景。9.C考查动词短语辨析。根据下文财富女神告诫乞丐不要装的太重，提醒乞丐注意、当心。所以选look out。look after照顾，look up仰视、向上看，look down俯视。10.C考查形容词辨析。结合上题，财富女神提醒乞丐当心，下文又提醒乞丐“so dont load it too heavily,”最后一段中告诉我们，钱包坏了，由此可以看出，这是一个旧钱包，所以选worn，意思是：“用旧的”。11.B考查动词辨析， could hard

13、ly wait to do意为：“迫不及待的干某事”。句意：激动的乞丐早已迫不及待的想拿到金子。12A.考查名词。根据倒数第三段中提到“golden stream”可知答案。13.C考查动词辨析。通过乞丐告诉财富女神钱包现在还很结实，可知不要为钱包担心。Never fear“不要害怕”。14.D 考查动词。句意为：钱包装了如此多的金币，乞丐的手开始发抖。shake(发抖)符合情景。spread“伸展”，close“关闭”，loose“放松”，均不符合情景。15.A考查动词。乞丐希望金子源源不断的流出，四个选项中只有pour(流出)能形象的描绘出乞丐的贪婪。16.B考查动词辨析。对应前文的“Ju

14、st a little more,”可知，这里表达的意思是：贪婪的乞丐想再往钱包中多装一两把金子。add(添加)符合句意。take拿、携带”，lend“借出” ，send“送给”，均不符合情景。最后一段的第一句话也有原词复现：One more piece was added and the wallet split。17.B考查动词辨析。钱包已经装满了，而且是一个旧钱包，继续装可能会裂开。所以选burst“破裂”。最后一句话中的“split”为同义词复现。18.D考查动词辨析。贪婪的乞丐认为钱包还能多装一点。hold“保存”符合语境。19.C考查名词辨析。treasure(财宝)这里代指金币。

15、钱包破裂后金币自然会掉到地上。present“礼物”， food“食物”，metal“金属”，均不符合句意。20.A考查不定代词辨析。句意：衣衫褴褛的乞丐除了破裂的钱包一无所有。nothing“什么也没有”。 阅读理解Mental and health experts believe personality plays an important part in how we experience stress.

16、 in a hurry. They often become angry when things do not happen the way they planned. They belong to “Type A” personality. Studies suggest that these people often get stressrelated disorders.
