7.Two of the hardest things to accomplish in this world are to acquire wealth by honest effort and,having gained it,to learn how to use it properly.Recently I walked into the locker room of a rather well-known golf club after finishing a round.It was in the late afternoon and most of the members had left for their homes.But a half-dozen or so men past middle age were still seated at tables talking aimlessly and drinking more than was good for them.These same men can be found there day after day.And,strangely enough,each one of these men had been a man of affairs and wealth,successful in business and respected in the community.If material prosperity were the chief necessity for happiness,then each one should have been happy.Yet,it seemed to me,something very important was missing,or else there would not have been the constant effort to escape the realities of life through scotch and soda.They knew,each one of them,that their productivity had ceased (停止).When a fruit tree ceases to bear its fruit,it is dying.And it is even so with man.What is the answer to a long and happy existence in this world of ours?I think I found it long ago in a passage from the book of Genesis which caught my eye while I was looking through my Bible.The words were few,but they became memorably impressed on my mind:"In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread."
To me,that has been a challenge from my earliest recollections (memories).In fact,the battle of life,of existence,is a challenge to everyone.The immortal words of St.Paul,too,have been and always will be a great inspiration to me.At the end of the road I want to be able to feel that I have fought a good fight,I have finished the course,I have kept the faith.

A.was a wealthy person in the community

分析 文中开篇提到世界上最难的两件事情是:通过自己的诚实和努力获取财富,以及得到之后怎样合理地使用自己的财富.作者可以看到很多成功人士借用威士忌和苏打水逃避现实生活,因为他们已经停止了奋斗,而作者认为:生命不息,奋斗不止.
解答 28.C.推理判断题.根据第一段中的"Yet,it seemed to me,something very important was missing,else-there would not have been the constant effort to escape the realities of life through scotch and soda."可知,他们逃避现实,每天用苏打水和苏格兰威士忌将自己灌得烂醉如泥,故选C.
29.B.句意理解题.根据文章第二段划线的句子意思是"要想糊口,就要汗流满面",也就是要通过自己的劳动与努力获得所需要的东西,所以选No pains,no gains.不劳无获;故选B.
30.B.推理判断题.根据文章第三段中的"At the end of the road I want to be able to feel that I have fought a good fight,I have finished the course,I have kept the faith."可知,作者希望自己能够一直坚持自己的梦想,所以他对生活的态度是积极的,故选B.
31.D.推理判断题.根据第一段中的"When a fruit tree ceases to bear its fruit,it is dying.And it is even so with man."可知,作者将人比喻成果树,如果果树停止结果,就会枯死,人也是如此,如果停止了奋斗也会死去,故选D.
点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.
