“As for me, if I had only enough to eat and to wear, I would not want anything more."
Just at that moment Goddess Fortune 20 the beggar among the crowd and approached him, greeting, “Hi, young man, I have wished to 21 you for a long time. If you open your wallet, I will pour my gold into it. But keep in mind that I will do that only on this 22 : All that falls into the wallet will be pure gold belonging to you; but every piece falling upon the ground 23 become dust, worth nothing. Are you clear?”
“I see. Now I’m ready. ” said the beggar with confidence.
“Then you should 24 ! It’s obvious that your wallet is a/an 25 one, so don’t load it too heavily,” said the Goddess Fortune.
The excited beggar could hardly 26 to have gold. He quickly opened his wallet, and a 27 of yellow coins was poured into it. The wallet became heavier and heavier.
“Is that enough? Isn’t it cracking? Will your wallet strong enough for more?” warned the Goddess.
“Never 28 .It’s still strong enough now” replied the beggar firmly.
The wallet was filled with so many coins that the beggar’s hands began to 29 . “Ah, if only the golden stream would 30 forever! Just a little more,” said the beggar, “ 31 just a handful or two.”
“There! It’s full. The wallet will 32 .” warned the Goddess again, but the beggar insisted, “ I know it will 33 a little more, just a little more.”
One more piece was added and the wallet split. The 34 fell upon the ground and became dust. The greedy beggar had now 35 but his broken wallet.

核心考点
试题【It’s certain that the following tale is a nice example that can teach us a good 】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
You get up in the morning and look into the mirror.Your face is firm and younglooking.In 2035,medical technology is better than ever.Many people your age could live to be 150,so at 40,you"re not old at all.And your parents just had an antiaging(抗衰老的) treatment.Now,all three of you look the same age!
You say to your shirt,“Turn red.” It changes from blue to red.In 2035,“smart clothes” contain particles(粒子) much smaller than the cells in your body.The particles can be programmed to change your clothes" color or pattern.
You walk into the kitchen.You pick up the milk,but a voice says,“You shouldn"t drink that” Your fridge has read the chip (芯片) that contains information about the milk,and it knows the milk is old.In 2035,every article of food in the grocery store has such a chip.
It"s time to go to work.In 2035,cars drive themselves.Just tell your “smart car” where to go.On the way,you can call a friend using your jacket sleeve.Such “smart technology” is all around you.
So will all these things come true?“For new technology to succeed,” says scientist Andrew Zolli,“it has to be so much better that it replaces what we have already.” The Internet is one example—what will be the next?
小题1:We can learn from the text that in the future______
A.people will never get old |
B.everyone will look the same |
C.red will be the most popular color |
D.clothes will be able to change their pattern |
A.Milk will be harmful to health. |
B.More drinks will be available for sale. |
C.Food in the grocery store will carry electronic information. |
D.Milk in the grocery store will stay fresh much longer. |
A.Nothing can replace the Internet. |
B.Fridges will know what people need. |
C.Jacket sleeves can be used as a guide. |
D.Cars will be able to drive automatically. |
A.Food and clothing in 2035. |
B.Future technology in everyday life. |
C.Medical treatments of the future. |
D.The reason for the success of new technology. |
Saying thanks not only brightens someone else"s world, it brightens yours. If you"re feeling left out, unloved or unappreciated, try reaching out to others. It may be just the medicine you need. Of course, there are times when you can"t express gratitude immediately. In that case, don"t let embarrassment sink you into silence and speak up the first time you have the chance.
Once a young minister, Mark Brian, was sent to a remote parish(教区)of Kwakiutl Indians in British Columbia. The Indians, he had been told, did not have a word for thank you. But Brian soon found that these people had unusual generosity. Instead of saying thanks, it is their custom to return every favor with a favor of their own, and every kindness with an equal or superior kindness. They do their thanks. I wonder if we had no words in our vocabulary for thank you, would we do a better job of communicating our gratitude? Would we be more responsive, more sensitive, more caring?
Thankfulness sets in motion a chain reaction that transforms people all around us-including ourselves. For no one ever misunderstands the melody(旋律)of a grateful heart. Its message is universal; its poems transcend(超越)all earthly barriers; its music touches the heaven.
小题1:Who do we easily forget to express our thanks to according to the writer?
A.Friends not meeting for a long time. | B.Former teachers and friends. |
C.People we want to get close to. | D.Our family members and good friends. |
A.benefits the people who do something for us |
B.is good for both us and people who help us |
C.wastes our and our friends" time at the same time |
D.does harm to both us and people who help us |
A.The only way to thank others is to express by your own words. |
B.The best way to thank others is to do something for them. |
C.We can thank people who help us in various ways. |
D.We can thank people who help us in two ways. |
A.to help and appreciate others | B.to ask others to help us |
C.to remind others of our helping them | D.to ask someone to help others |
Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particular matter in the atmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earth’s temperature—a result that would be equally disastrous.A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to a new ice age,and would make agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top farming areas.Today we do not know for sure that either of these conditions will happen.Perhaps,if we are lucky enough,the two tendencies will offset each other and the world"s temperature will stay about the same as it is now.Driven by economic profits, people ignore the damage on our environment caused by the “advanced civilization”.Maybe the air pollution is the price the human beings have to pay for their development.But is it really worth-while?
小题1:People used to think that air pollution_________ .
A.caused widespread damage in the countryside |
B.affected the entire eastern half of the United States |
C.had a very bad effect on health |
D.existed merely in urban and industrial areas |
A.shares the same view with the scientists. |
B.is uncertain of its occurrence |
C.rejects it as being ungrounded |
D.thinks that it will destroy the world soon |
A.counter-act | B.break from | C.get along | D.communicate |
A.the greenhouse effect |
B.the burning of fossil fuels |
C.the potential effect of air pollution |
D.the possibility of a new ice age |
Have you ever wondered about people’s names? Where do they come from? What do they mean?
People’s first names, or given names, are chosen by their parents. Sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used. Some parents choose the name of a well-known person. A boy could be named George Washington Smith; a girl could be named Helen Keller Jones.
Some people give their children names that mean good things. Clara means “bright”; Beatrice means “one who gives happiness”; Donald means “world ruler”; Leonard means “as brave as a lion”.
The earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names. A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near brook(小溪);someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road. The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.
Other early surnames came from people’s occupations. The most common occupational name is Smith, which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals. In the past, smiths were very important workers in every town and village. Some other occupational names are: Carter — a person who owned or drove a cart; Potter —a person who made pots and pans.
The ancestors of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village. The Carpenter’s great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture.
Sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin, or their size, or their special abilities. When there were two men who were named John in the same village, the John with the gray hair probably became John Gray. Or the John was very tall could call himself John Tallman. John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer.
Some family names were made by adding something to the father’s name. English-speaking people added –s or –son. The Johnsons are descendants of John; the Roberts family’s ancestor was Robert. Irish and Scottish people added Mac or Mc or O. Perhaps all of the MacDonnells and the McDonnells and the O’Donnells are descendants of the same Donnell.
小题1:Which of the following aspects do the surnames in the passage NOT cover?
A.Places where people lived. |
B.People’s characters. |
C.Talents that people possessed. |
D.People’s occupations. |
A.owned or drove a cart |
B.made things with metals |
C.made kitchen tools or contains |
D.built houses and furniture |
A.Beatrice Smith | B.Leonard Carter |
C.George Longstreet | D.Donald Greenwood |
A.later generations | B.friends and relatives |
C.colleagues and partners | D.later sponsors |
Perfection just needs paying attention to details. If it is your job to dust the furniture at home, dust it so that not a single spot of dirt shows from any direction. If your task is to make the beds, make them so that not a single crease(皱纹)shows on the bed-covers.
There are only two ways to do a job: either sloppily, or well. If you choose the latter, you need to realize that any job that qualifies as (取得…的资格)“your” work deserves your best. Perfection is an attitude that can be developed with just a little effect. It is a habit that is helpful to a person in later life. Let us prove with an example: you may be asked to turn in an essay on, for example, wildlife, for a school project. Instead of writing carelessly a few facts that you already know, you could make the project more effective by looking up a reference books, encyclopedias(百科全书)or websites for additional information. You could then go over the finished essay for slips(疏漏)and errors, and provide pictures where necessary. If you make it a habit to put in extra effort in your school homework, will it not help you to handle more difficult projects at the college or university level?
As Michelangelo, the famous 16th century sculptor and painter, once put it: Trifles(琐事)go to make perfection, and perfection is no trifle.
小题1:According to the passage, to achieve perfection is _______.
A.to realize the quality of the work |
B.to pay attention to details of one’s work |
C.to do as many jobs as possible |
D.to form the habit of doing things ahead of time |
A.badly | B.patiently | C.carefully | D.slowly |
A.It is necessary to provide pictures for your essay. |
B.Websites are the sources of information you want. |
C.Perfection is a habit that promises a good future. |
D.You should make much effort to develop perfection. |
A.introduce the famous painter Michelangelo |
B.advise us to do the things that are worth doing |
C.explain to us the meaning of the perfection |
D.expect us to give our best to our work |
