7.What do you know about the standard of living of a country?It actually means how much of the goods and services the country produces for an average person to share.(36)EObviously,the first factor is its ability to produce wealth."Wealth"in this sense doesn't refer to money.It's because we don't live on money but on things that money can buy,"goods"such as food and clothing,and"services"such as transport and entertainment.There are various factors that determine a country's ability to produce wealth.They affect one another.Wealth depends greatly on a country's natural resources.(37)F.Some regions of the world are rich in natural resources with a fertile soil and a favorable climate; other regions possess perhaps only one of them; some,unfortunately,possess none.The USA has everything listed above.(38)BThe Sahara Desert,on the other hand,is one of the least wealthy.
Also,the ability to put natural resources to use counts,which goes without saying.
(39)DAs we see,old countries that have trained so many skilled workers over centimes are better at producing wealth than those whose workers are mainly unskilled.
Besides,with their wealth increasing,people have more for saving and can put their savings into factories and machines,which,in turn,will help workers to produce more goods.(40)A
A.That means wealth itself also produces wealth.
B.No wonder it is one of the wealthiest regions of the world.
C.Natural resources are equally distributed around the world.
D.And next comes the technical efficiency of a country's people.
E.You may ask what factors contribute to a country's standard of living
F.They include coal,oil,gas,gold,other minerals,water supply and so on.
G.But that doesn't make it a most wealthy country because it's often hit by disasters.

解答 36-40 EFBDA
36.E联系下文题.根据横线后一句Obviously,the first factor is its ability to produce wealth.可知第一个因素是生产财富的能力.说明横线句在询问影响一个国家生活标准的因素是什么.所以才有后句的回答.故选E.
37.F上下文串联.根据横线前句Wealth depends greatly on a country's natural resources.可知财富很大程度上依靠一个国家的自然资源.接下来介绍自然资源的内容.故F项"They include coal,oil,gas,gold,other minerals,water supply and so on.他们包括煤炭,石油、天然气…"符合上下文串联.故选F.
38.B联系上文题.根据前句The USA has everything listed above.可知美国拥有上文列出的所有资源,那么美国的富有就是很自然的事情.故B项"No wonder it is one of the wealthiest regions of the world."符合上下文串联.故选B.
39.D理解判断题.根据横线后句As we see,old countries that have trained so many skilled workers over centimes are better at producing wealth than those whose workers are mainly unskilled.可知那些拥有熟练工人的国家要比技术工人不过硬的国家要更加富有.这说明技术的效率也是影响一个国家人们生活水平的重要原因.故D项符合上下文串联.故选D.
40.A总结归纳题.随着财富的积累,人们有了更多的积累的资金,然后在把积累的资金投入到工厂和机器上,又生产出更多的商品来.让资金循环利用,让财富衍生出财富.故A项符合上下文串联.故选A.
点评 完成七选五阅读时,我们可以从关联词上查找答案.由于英语的句段之间经常会运用关联词表示衔接和过渡,使文章逻辑更清楚和连贯,因此文章中和选项中表示各种逻辑关系的路标性信号词在选择答案时都是很重要的线索.在做题时可将这三个层面的线索很好地结合起来.
