A Country's Standard of Living
The"standard of living" of any country means the average person's share of the goods and services the country produces.A country's standard of living,________(51),depends first and ________(52)on its capacity to produce wealth."Wealth"in this sense is not money,for we do not live on money________( 53)on things that money can buy:"goods"such as food and clothing, and"services"such as transport and entertainment.
A country's capacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors,most of_________(54) have an effect on one another. Wealth depends_________(55)a great extent upon a country's natural resources.Some regions of the world are well supplied with coal and minerals,and have fertile soil and a favorable climate;other regions possess none of them.
Next to natural resources_________(56) the ability to turn them to use.Some countries are perhaps as well-off_________(57)the USA in natural resources,but suffered for many years from civil and external wars,and________(58)this and other reasons were________(59)to develop their resources.Sound and stable political conditions,and________(60)from foreign invasions, enable a country to develop its natural resources peacefully and steadily,and to produce more wealth than another country equally well favoured by nature but less well ordered.
A country's standard of living does not only depend upon the wealth that is produced and consumed_________(61)its own borders,but also upon what is directly produced through international trade.________(62),Britain's wealth in foodstuffs and other agricultural products would be much less if she had to depend only on________(63)grown at home.Trade makes it possible for her surplus manufactured goods to be traded abroad for the agricultural products that would________(64)be lacking.A country's wealth is,therefore,much influenced by its manufacturing capacity, ______(65)that other countries can be found ready to accept its manufactures._________(52)
A:primary
B:all
C:foremost
D:mainly答案：C解析：文章前一句给出了生活水平的定义，此处需要一个承上启下的词。however表示含义的转折。furthermore意为“此外、而且”，表示意义的递进。similarly意为“相似地”。 therefore意为“因此”，表示因果关系。这部分是说由于任何一个国家的“生活水平”是指平均每个人所得到的这个国家生产出的商品和服务量，因此，一个国家的生活水平首先并且最重要的是依靠其创造财富的能力。选择D项最合适。
first and foremost是固定搭配，意思是“首要的、第一的”，因此选择C项。
该空前面是否定句，联系前后文，意思是我们不是依赖金钱生活，而是依赖金钱所购买的东西生活。只有not...but有“不是······而是”的意思，因此选项B是正确的。
此空指代的是前面的many factors , these和that都指代不清，所以需要一个引导非限制性定语从句的关联词，只有which合适，因此选择D项。
此处许多人可能会认为depend on是固定搭配，意思是“依靠”，但实际上介词upon出现后面，中间插入了短语to a great extent。因此此处只能选B。
本句是介词短语放在句首的倒装句，主语在空的后面即“ability”，所以这里缺的是谓语动词，第三人称单数只能用comes。
as...as即“像······一样”，是固定搭配短语。本句意思是“一些国家拥有和美国一样丰富的自然资源”。因此只有D项是正确的。
for...reason是固定搭配短语，意思是“由于······原因”。本句意思是“由于多年的内外战争和这样那样的原因不能开发它的资源”。因此选项B是正确的。
根据上下文我们知道这里说的是某些国家无法开采自己的资源。uneasy 意为“不稳定的、不舒服的”。incapable意为“无能力的”，固定搭配是be incapable of doing , im-possible意为“不可能的”。unable意为“不能的”，固定搭配是be unable to do。因为后面有不定式to，因此只能选择D项。
本句意思是“完善的、稳定的政府以及从外国入侵中解放出来······”。先排除掉prevention。 freedom意为“自由”。 liberation意为“解放”，一般与介词from搭配。liberty“自由、释放”，常与介词of搭配。选项C是正确的。
本句意思是“一个国家的生活水平不仅仅依赖本国生产和消费的财富”。表示“边界内”，我们常用短语within the border，其他几个介词都不合适。
这里需要一个能连接上下文的短语，前一句讲的是国际贸易也是生活水平依赖的一部分，后面以英国为例进行说明因此只有选项D合适。in short意为“总之”; as a result意为“结果是”; on the other hand意为“另一方面”。
此空后面是一个过去分词短语，前面是介词on，因此这里先排除which和 what，因为不需要引导句子的关联词。此外，这里需要指代的是前面的foodstuffs和agricultural products，因此只能选择表示复数的those。
otherwise意思是“相反地”。 certainly意为“当然地”。 however意为“然而”。 therefore意为“因此”。此处是拿缺少的东西同前面提到的生产出的多余的东西对比，因此只有otherwise最合适。
provided that…是固定搭配，意思是“假若······”。本句意思是“如果其他国家可以接受本国的产品······”。因此只有D项最合适。 -

The Privileged Children
Life really should be one long journey of joy for children who are born with a world of wealth at their tiny feet.But experts on psychological research now believe that silver spoons can leave a bitter taste.If suicide statistics are a sign of happiness,then the rich are a miserable lot. Figures show that it is the rich who most often do away with themselves.
Dr. Robert Coles,an internationally famous doctor,is the world's top expert on the influence of money on children.He has written a well-received book on the subject,The Privileged Ones,and his research shows that too much money in the family can cause as many problems as too little."Ohviously there are certain advantages to being rich,"says the 53-year-old doctor,"such as better health,education and future work expectations.But most important is the quality of family life. Money can't buy love."
It can buy a lot of other things,though,and that's where the trouble starts.Rich kjds have so much to choose from that they often become confused.Their parents' over favoring can make them spoiled.They tend to travel more than other children,from home to home and country to country, which often makes them feel restless.
"But privileged children do have a better sense of their positions in the world,"adds Mr Coles, "and they are more self-assured."
Today's rich parents perhaps have realized that their riches can be more of a burden than a favor to their children.So their priority is to ensure that their families are as rich in love as they are in money.This article is written mainly to tell readers that_________.
A:the rich are more likely to do away with themselves
B:money can bring a lot of things,including love
C:life is always happy for children of rich parents
D:rich parents should realize what important in the family is love rather than money答案：D解析：从文章的叙述我们知道财富可以是恩赐也可以是负担，从第一段最后两句我们知道有钱人并非都幸福。因此选项D是正确的。选项A错误是因为有钱的孩子确实会常常旅游，但文章并没有说是否喜欢旅行。选项B错误：文章第二段最后一句说了钱买不了爱。选项C错误：第一段最后一句只是说有钱人最常自杀，却没说有钱的孩子会自杀。
文章第二段最后一句提到财富会给人带来很多益处，但是最重要的家庭生活的质量却往往不是他们能享受的。因此选项C是正确的。选项A、选项B和选项D都不正确。
选项B、C、D在文章中都提到过，只有选项A不正确。文章没有提过有钱人家和穷人家一样缺少爱。
silver spoon是一个固定说法，并不真是指银子做的勺子，而是指财富，如 be born with silver spoon指的是“生在富有人家”。因此只有选项C是正确的。
文章最后一句讲到“富有的家长们也意识到要让他们家庭里的爱同金钱一样多”，而且第二段最后也提到家庭生活的质量是最重要的，因此选项D是正确的。其他三个选项的叙述都是错误的。 -

第6题：
In any country, the "standard ofliving" means the average person′s share of the goods and services whichthe country produces. Therefore, a country′s standard of living depends firstand foremost on its capacity to produce wealth. "Wealth" in thissense is not money, but "goods" such as food and clothing, and"services" such as transport and entertainment.
The capacity to produce wealth depends uponmany factors, most of which have an effect on one another. To a great extent,wealth depends upon a country′s natural resources, such as coal, gold, andother minerals, water supply and so on. Some regions of the world are wellsupplied with coal and minerals, and some are not.
Next to natural resources comes the abilityto turn them to use. Some countries are perhaps well off in natural resources,but unable to develop their resources. They suffered for many years from civiland external wars. Peaceful political and stable conditions enable a country todevelop its natural resources effectively, and to produce more wealth thananother country equally well served by nature but less well ordered. Anotherimportant factor is the technical efficiency of a country′s people.Industrialized countries that have trained numerous skilled workers andtechnicians produce wealth more than countries whose workers are largelyunskilled.
A country′s standard of living does notonly depend upon the wealth that is produced and consumed within its ownborders, but also upon what is indirectly produced through international trade.
For instance, Britain′s wealth isfoodstuffs and other agricultural products would be much less if she had todepend only on those grown at home. Trade makes it possible for her surplusmanufacture goods to be traded abroad for the agricultural products. In thisaspect, a country′s wealth is much influenced by its manufacturing capacity,provided that other countries can be found ready to accept its manufactures.
According to the passage, besides thecapacity of wealth production, ______play an equally important role indetermining a country′s standard of living.A.farm products
B.industrial goods
C.foodstuffs
D.export and import答案：D解析：细节题。第四段第一句指出“A country’s standard of living does not only depend upon… but also upon what is indirectly produced through internationaltrade．”可知国际贸易也很重要．D选项中的进出口跟文中意思一致，故选D。 -

第10题：
Personal Finance When it comes to our finances, each of us has our own individual approach. Some of us are savers, some are spenders, and others are some-where in between. This continuum is a paradigm that our popular culture uses to frame differences in the way people approach money. I believe that the way we approach our finances goes beyond that particular behavioral characteristic. In reality, I think our approach to finances can be viewed in more of a multi-dimensional setting, where money has a different role in our lives. For some, money means survival, plain and simple. For others, money is something that is a part of their lives but rarely on their mind, regardless of the role it actually plays. For yet others, money is an obsession, as accumulation indicates achievement. Some people view money as a defensive resource to protect against future setbacks. Some people want money to provide a good home, to contribute to the ability to have certain hobbies, or to provide something to future generations and so on. Sometimes the same person may view money differently in different situations. The bottom line is that we each have our own relationship with money, and our own conscious and subconscious needs for money, rooted in our value systems. This is an area of personal finance that has interested me for a while. Why do people behave the way they do with respect to their money? What's driving this behavior? Of course, a starting point for anybody is to consider how you personally view things. Taking an introspective approach，I have spent time figuring out my own take on money，and the role it plays in my life. What I have determined is that for me，it fits into a framework that includes the following elements：health, wealth, and relationships. These are linked together as a part of a system. They're all connected, and to the extent one is strengthened, the others will be strengthened as well. If one is weakened, the others will be weakened as well. So to me, money is a part of the wealth aspect of HWR. Beyond basic survival, money gives you the opportunity to live a healthier life, with the time and means to have more positive relationships. One thing I want to make clear is that I am not saying that money buys friends. Well, it could, but those aren't true friends. What I am saying is that the more money you have ,on balance, the less stressed you are about it, and the more time you have to do other things, such as cultivate true, genuine relationships that aren’t based on money. Money is but a component in the system. With money we can buy anything including true friends.（ ）

The Privileged Children
Life really should be one long journey of joy for children who are born with a world of wealth at their tiny feet.But experts on psychological research now believe that silver spoons can leave a bitter taste.If suicide statistics are a sign of happiness,then the rich are a miserable lot. Figures show that it is the rich who most often do away with themselves.
Dr. Robert Coles,an internationally famous doctor,is the world's top expert on the influence of money on children.He has written a well-received book on the subject,The Privileged Ones,and his research shows that too much money in the family can cause as many problems as too little."Ohviously there are certain advantages to being rich,"says the 53-year-old doctor,"such as better health,education and future work expectations.But most important is the quality of family life. Money can't buy love."
It can buy a lot of other things,though,and that's where the trouble starts.Rich kjds have so much to choose from that they often become confused.Their parents' over favoring can make them spoiled.They tend to travel more than other children,from home to home and country to country, which often makes them feel restless.
"But privileged children do have a better sense of their positions in the world,"adds Mr Coles, "and they are more self-assured."
Today's rich parents perhaps have realized that their riches can be more of a burden than a favor to their children.So their priority is to ensure that their families are as rich in love as they are in money.According to the passage,children of rich families_______.
A:enjoy traveling
B:can buy love
C:usually commit suicide
D:are not always happy答案：D解析：从文章的叙述我们知道财富可以是恩赐也可以是负担，从第一段最后两句我们知道有钱人并非都幸福。因此选项D是正确的。选项A错误是因为有钱的孩子确实会常常旅游，但文章并没有说是否喜欢旅行。选项B错误：文章第二段最后一句说了钱买不了爱。选项C错误：第一段最后一句只是说有钱人最常自杀，却没说有钱的孩子会自杀。
文章第二段最后一句提到财富会给人带来很多益处，但是最重要的家庭生活的质量却往往不是他们能享受的。因此选项C是正确的。选项A、选项B和选项D都不正确。
选项B、C、D在文章中都提到过，只有选项A不正确。文章没有提过有钱人家和穷人家一样缺少爱。
silver spoon是一个固定说法，并不真是指银子做的勺子，而是指财富，如 be born with silver spoon指的是“生在富有人家”。因此只有选项C是正确的。
文章最后一句讲到“富有的家长们也意识到要让他们家庭里的爱同金钱一样多”，而且第二段最后也提到家庭生活的质量是最重要的，因此选项D是正确的。其他三个选项的叙述都是错误的。 -

It can buy a lot of other things,though,and that's where the trouble starts.Rich kjds have so much to choose from that they often become confused.Their parents' over favoring can make them spoiled.They tend to travel more than other children,from home to home and country to country, which often makes them feel restless.

Today's rich parents perhaps have realized that their riches can be more of a burden than a favor to their children.So their priority is to ensure that their families are as rich in love as they are in money.Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?

B:Silver spoons can sometimes leave a bitter taste.
C:Money can't buy everything.
D:Rich children are often confused because they have so much to choose from.答案：A解析：从文章的叙述我们知道财富可以是恩赐也可以是负担，从第一段最后两句我们知道有钱人并非都幸福。因此选项D是正确的。选项A错误是因为有钱的孩子确实会常常旅游，但文章并没有说是否喜欢旅行。选项B错误：文章第二段最后一句说了钱买不了爱。选项C错误：第一段最后一句只是说有钱人最常自杀，却没说有钱的孩子会自杀。

silver spoon是一个固定说法，并不真是指银子做的勺子，而是指财富，如 be born with silver spoon指的是“生在富有人家”。因此只有选项C是正确的。
文章最后一句讲到“富有的家长们也意识到要让他们家庭里的爱同金钱一样多”，而且第二段最后也提到家庭生活的质量是最重要的，因此选项D是正确的。其他三个选项的叙述都是错误的。 -

第二篇
The Privileged Children
Life really should be one long journey of joy for children who are born with a world of wealth at their tiny feet.But experts on psychological research now believe that silver spoons can leave a bitter taste.If suicide statistics are a sign of happiness,then the rich are a miserable lot. Figures show that it is the rich who most often do away with themselves.

A Country's Standard of Living

A:distribute
B:produce
C:contain
D:buy答案：B解析：短文中第一、二句话指出，任何国家的“生活标准”都是指人均享有的这个国家生产的 商品和服务的情况。因此一个国家的生活标准首先依赖于它能生产财富的能力。depend on 这一短语符合语意和搭配习惯。因此C是正确答案。
in this sens。是“在这里的意义”，因此正确答案为A。相关短语in some sense“在某种意 义上，在某种程度上”。
空格所在的句子提到的是，一个国家生产财富的能力依赖于许多囚素。只有produce 为“生产”之意，因此B为答案。
空格处需要一个定语从句的引导词，因此只能在that和which之间选择。因为空格前 出现了介词of，因此排除that，只能选which。
to a great extent“在很大程度上”。因此B为答案。
空格所在的句子意思为“另外一些区域却一样也没有”。只有 possess指“拥有”。
turn...to...“使……变为……”。因此C项是答案。
suffer from“遭受……”。因此答案为D。
根据上下文判断，空格处最合适的词为“原因”，因此A项为答案。
根据下文，此处应该表示的是从外国人侵中获得解放。故选B。
此处是指“能使一个国家和平、稳定地开发它的自然资源，创造出比另一个国家更多的 财富”。故选A。
短文第四段第一句话提到，一个国家的生活水平不只依赖于自己国内生产和消耗的财 富。由此判断空格处为“消耗”，因此D是正确答案。
空格所在的句子意思为“英国的食品和农产品会很少”。由此判断空格处为“产品”，因此选C。
空格处缺少关系代词引导定语从句，并在定语从句中作主语，因此B是答案。
provided“假如，在……条件下”，表示条件，符合题意。 -
第17题：
In any country, the "standard ofliving" means the average person′s share of the goods and services whichthe country produces. Therefore, a country′s standard of living depends firstand foremost on its capacity to produce wealth. "Wealth" in thissense is not money, but "goods" such as food and clothing, and"services" such as transport and entertainment.
The capacity to produce wealth depends uponmany factors, most of which have an effect on one another. To a great extent,wealth depends upon a country′s natural resources, such as coal, gold, andother minerals, water supply and so on. Some regions of the world are wellsupplied with coal and minerals, and some are not.
Next to natural resources comes the abilityto turn them to use. Some countries are perhaps well off in natural resources,but unable to develop their resources. They suffered for many years from civiland external wars. Peaceful political and stable conditions enable a country todevelop its natural resources effectively, and to produce more wealth thananother country equally well served by nature but less well ordered. Anotherimportant factor is the technical efficiency of a country′s people.Industrialized countries that have trained numerous skilled workers andtechnicians produce wealth more than countries whose workers are largelyunskilled.
A country′s standard of living does notonly depend upon the wealth that is produced and consumed within its ownborders, but also upon what is indirectly produced through international trade.
For instance, Britain′s wealth isfoodstuffs and other agricultural products would be much less if she had todepend only on those grown at home. Trade makes it possible for her surplusmanufacture goods to be traded abroad for the agricultural products. In thisaspect, a country′s wealth is much influenced by its manufacturing capacity,provided that other countries can be found ready to accept its manufactures.
The standard of living in a countryis determined by ______.A.its goods and services
B.the type of wealth produced
C.how well it can create wealth
D.what an ordinary person can share答案：C解析：细节题。第一段第一句指出standardof living的定义，第二句“Therefore，a country’s standard of living depends first and foremost on its capacity toproduce wealth．”以及第三句指出什么决定了 standard of living．即决定一个国家生活标准的是这个国家创造商品和服务的能力(the capacity to produce goods and services)，故选C。 -

The manufacturing capacity may be a keyfactor to a higher standard of living when one country ______A.has traded her manufacture
B.has established her wealth
C.has been an industrialized one
D.has produced surplus manufactured goods答案：D解析：细节题。根据最后一段“Trade makesit possible for her surplus manufacture goods to be traded abroad for…a country’s wealth is much influenced by itsmanufacturing capacity，provided that other countriescan be found ready to accept its manufactures．”可知，如果一个国家制造业发达的话，可以将多余的工业制造品通过国际贸易来换取本国需要的产品，故选D。 -

第20题：
Personal Finance When it comes to our finances, each of us has our own individual approach. Some of us are savers, some are spenders, and others are some-where in between. This continuum is a paradigm that our popular culture uses to frame differences in the way people approach money. I believe that the way we approach our finances goes beyond that particular behavioral characteristic. In reality, I think our approach to finances can be viewed in more of a multi-dimensional setting, where money has a different role in our lives. For some, money means survival, plain and simple. For others, money is something that is a part of their lives but rarely on their mind, regardless of the role it actually plays. For yet others, money is an obsession, as accumulation indicates achievement. Some people view money as a defensive resource to protect against future setbacks. Some people want money to provide a good home, to contribute to the ability to have certain hobbies, or to provide something to future generations and so on. Sometimes the same person may view money differently in different situations. The bottom line is that we each have our own relationship with money, and our own conscious and subconscious needs for money, rooted in our value systems. This is an area of personal finance that has interested me for a while. Why do people behave the way they do with respect to their money? What's driving this behavior? Of course, a starting point for anybody is to consider how you personally view things. Taking an introspective approach，I have spent time figuring out my own take on money，and the role it plays in my life. What I have determined is that for me，it fits into a framework that includes the following elements：health, wealth, and relationships. These are linked together as a part of a system. They're all connected, and to the extent one is strengthened, the others will be strengthened as well. If one is weakened, the others will be weakened as well. So to me, money is a part of the wealth aspect of HWR. Beyond basic survival, money gives you the opportunity to live a healthier life, with the time and means to have more positive relationships. One thing I want to make clear is that I am not saying that money buys friends. Well, it could, but those aren't true friends. What I am saying is that the more money you have ,on balance, the less stressed you are about it, and the more time you have to do other things, such as cultivate true, genuine relationships that aren’t based on money. Money is but a component in the system. Although money is part of their life, some people don’t attach more importance to it.（ ）
