14．What little money he did have ________ on a record selected with extreme care which became，to his way of thinking，a possession close to his heart．（　　）
A．spentB．been spentC．was spentD．to spend

分析 在它看来，那个花了他仅有的一点点钱和精心挑选的唱片是他内心迫切想要的东西．

解答 答案：C．
考查被动式．本题易误选BWhat little money he did have 实际是一个主语从句，have修饰的little money，和后面的动词spend没有关系．其中selected with extreme care 为一过去分词作后置定语；主语money和动词spend是一种被动关系，结合后面句子的时态became可知本句的时态为一过去时态；故选C．

点评 本题中的难点还在于to his way of thinking这一插入结构，要把它独立于句子之外进行理解，否则容易让学生产生误解，理解难度加大．

A new word has suddenly become wildly popular in China —"tuhao" — which loosely translated means "nouveau riche". There have been more than 100 million references to the word "tuhao" on social media since early September.

It's being used to describe everything from the new People's Daily building, to expensive celebrity weddings full of bling, and the new gold-coloured iPhone.

In Chinese "tu" means earth and "hao" means rich. To say someone is tuhao is to imply they come from a poor peasant background, and have made it rich quick — but don't quite have the manners, or sophistication to go along with it. It's like the term "nouveau riche", says Professor Steve Tsang at the School of Contemporary Chinese Studies in Nottingham — but has even more negative meanings, suggesting a certain vulgarity(粗俗).

"Tuhao" is actually an old word, dating back perhaps as far as the Southern Dynasty 1,500 years ago, but it has always meant something rather different. During the communist revolution, from the 1920s to early 1950s, it was widely used to refer to landholders and gentry who would bully those beneath them.

This new usage of the term took off in September after a widely-shared joke about a rich, but unhappy man, who goes to a Buddhist monk for advice, expecting to be told to live a more simple life. The monk replies instead with the phrase: "Tuhao, let's be friends!"

Chinese Internet users are highly creative in their use of language, and are constantly inventing, and re-inventing words as a way of getting past censorship(审查) rules. But in this case, its popularity seems to be down to the fact that it expresses China's changing society so well — many people sneer at those with wealth, but are secretly jealous.

2．Why is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or brown for boys？
The answer depends largely on cultural values as well as personal experiences．To the Egyptians，green was a color that represented the hope and joy of spring，while for Muslims，it means heaven．Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures．In China，children are given money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year．For many nations，blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs．Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect themselves against evils（灾祸）．
People's choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies'reactions （反应）toward them．Green is said to be the most restful color．It has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally and physically．People who work in green environment have been found to have fewer stomach aches．
Red can cause a person's blood pressure to rise and increase people's appetites（食欲）．Many decorators will include different shades of red in the restaurant．Similarly，many commercial websites will have a red"Buy Now"button because red is a color that easily catches a person's eye．
Blue is another calming color．Unlike red，blue can cause people to lose appetite．So if you want to eat less，some suggest that eating from blue plates can help．
The next time you are deciding on what to wear or what color to decorate your room，think about the color carefully．
