  “As for me, if I had only enough to   3   and to wear, I wouldn’t want anything more, ”said the beggar.

  Just at that moment Fortune(命运女神)came down the   4  .She saw the beggar and said to him, “Listen!I’ve long wished to   5   you.Now, hold your   6   and I’ll pour this gold into it.But I’ll pour only on this   7  :All that falls into the wallet will be pure gold;but every piece falling upon the   8   shall become dust.Do you understand?”

  “Yes, I understand, ”said the beggar.“Then have a   10  .Your wallet is   10  , so don’t load it too heavily.”said Fortune.The beggar was so glad that he could hardly   11  .He quickly opened his wallet, and a   12   of yellow coins was poured into it.The wallet soon began to grow heavy.

  “Is that enough?” asked Fortune.“Not yet.”“Isn’t it cracking?”“Never   13  .”The wallet was filled with so many coins that the beggar’s hands began to   14  .“Ah, if only the golden stream would   15   forever!I’m the richest man in the world now!Just a little more.”said the beggar.“  16   just a handful or two.”“There!It’s full.The wallet will   17  .”“But it will   18   a little more, just a little more!”

  Another piece was added and the wallet split(裂开).The   19   fell upon the ground and was turned to dust.The beggar had now   20   but his broken wallet.

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。

This was one of my experiences    1   .When I was in my 30s,I was working for a large international company which had its head office in London. I was working in the   2   department.

The company had a training center which was just outside London. Different courses were held there throughout    3    and I    4    go on one training course a year. These usually started    5    a Sunday evening and lasted six days.

Once I was    6    a week’s training course with about forty    7    sales people. I was in the bar on the Friday evening and suddenly a woman who was    8    behind the bar asked me a curious question.“I hope you don’t    9   my asking,” she said, “but I’ve been     10    about it all week. Have you got a sister   11     Mary?” The woman’s name was June. And she used to do various jobs at the training center’s worked in the office, she organized all the food and drink for the center and she worked in the bar at lunch time and in the evening.

My answer    12    June’s question was “Yes”,and June said,“I thought    13   .I met her last September when she was organizing a course here.” At that time, my sister was working for   14    company but in a different part of the country. That was    15    she came to be at the training center.
      16    surprised me was how June guessed we were brother and sister. Three things made it even more   17    .First, she had met my sister six months before she met me. Second, they have about sixty new people every week at the training center’s about one thousand five hundred people had    18    the center in those six months. And    19   ,my sister is married, so she doesn’t have the same family name as me.

We’re not    20    ,but I guess we must look quite like each other.
