Question

In today’s world many people seem to be hungry for money. Money does have its most useful effect on the poor. But even if a person has already got plenty of money, he can’t get everything.
If money were everything, all millionaires would have real love, true friendship, good health and a long life. However, this is not always correct.
Since the beginning of time no three words have ever invited more pleasure than “I love you”. But can love be bought? I’m afraid not. Love means to give, not ________ (78). To every person, health and a long life are probably the best things. Well, can health and a long life be bought with money? The answer is “No”.
(79) Of all the longest living people in the world, few of them are millionaires. True friendship can’t be bought, either. In a word, where money is dreamed too much, it can cause brothers to quarrel, marriage to end, lovers to hate, and strangers to fight. No matter how much money you have, it is still not enough to make a happy person if you have no one to laugh with, no one to cry for.

解析试题分析：在在当今世界的许多人似乎很看重钱。但是，即使一个人已经有足够的钱，他不能得到的一切。
如果金钱是万能的，所有的百万富翁都会有真正的爱情，真正的友谊，健康长寿。然而，这并不总是正确的。每个人，健康和长寿可能是最好的东西。好了，用金钱能买来健康长寿吗？答案是“不”。 爱是一种奉献，不是索取。总之，钱梦想的地方太多了，它可以导致兄弟争吵，婚姻的结束，爱或恨，和陌生人打架。
【小题1】细节理解题。理解句意：现在表面看起来许多人非常想要钱。在文章中第一句话就体现，人们以钱的感觉是一种饥饿的状态，故填：In today’s world many people seem to be hungry for money.
【小题2】细节理解题。问题：对于每个人来说什么可能是最重要的？原文：To every person, health and a long life are probably the best things.句意：对于每个人，健康和生命长久可能是最好的事情。分析：最重要的也就是最好的，故填：Health and a long life.
【小题3】细节理解题。考查固定用语：Love means to give, not to take.句意：爱是一种奉献，不是索取。故填：to take
【小题4】细节理解题。原句：Of all the longest living people in the world, few of them are millionaires.Of all译为全部。The longest living 译为：长寿。In the world译为：在世界上。Few of them译为：他们中很少的人。综合译为：世界上的百万富翁中长寿的人不多。
【小题5】细节理解题。全文总结题，只要了解全文的中心思想是讲述钱并不是一切，爱是更重要的。故填：Is money everything? / Money doesn’t mean everything. / Love is more important than money.
