Question

There once lived a young man who was always unhappy and complained about his poverty. One day, he went to see a fortune teller to inquire how to become      16     . The fortune teller said, "Young man, you are already wealthy now."

"Where is my wealth?" the young man asked     17    .

"It is with you. Your     18     is (are) your wealth. You use them to see this world. You use them to see all the     19    things in this world. You can read, study and learn. Your hands are your wealth. You can use them to work. You can use them to hug your beloved ones. Your     20     are your wealth. You can go to any places..." the fortune teller said.

"You call these wealth? Everyone has them," the young man said.

"These are wealth. What you have now are not what others can luckily have. Are you     21     to give your eyes to me? I am willing to give you a lot of money to     22      for them," the fortune teller said.

"No, are you crazy? I am not going to exchange my eyes for money! They are     23     to me!" the young man     24     .

"Precisely, these are wealth to you. You will not exchange them for money. Furthermore, although a lot of people have their wealthy things, they do not     25     them or treasure them. They are not     26     to Heaven for giving them their wealth. They even complain that Heaven is unfair to them. Do you want to    27     one of them before you will treasure them?" the fortune teller said.

Everyone is wealthy. But we should not     28    it for granted. We need to treasure our wealth, take care of it and use it     29     . We should not overuse it because once it is     30     , it is gone forever. Remember it is our wealth that we do not want to lose.

【解析】健康的身体就是我们最大的财富。

1.他不安于贫困，去找算命先生自然是询问如何致富。

2.四个选项中只有A项anxiously可以表现他迫不及待的心情。

3.根据下文“You use them to see this world.”可知应为eyes。

4.虽然四个选项所表示的都是眼睛可以看到的，但beautiful合乎算命先生说话的意思。

5.根据后面的“You can run very fast.”可知应为legs。

6.根据后面的“I am willing to give you…”及willing的用法可知选D项。

7.charge和change意思不符；buy后不跟for, 所以用exchange。

8.根据前面的一句“I am not going to exchange my eyes for money!”可知年轻人不愿意交换，可以推断眼睛对他来说是重要的、宝贵的。所以选A。

9.从年轻人说话的语气推断他应该很生气，所以冲着算卦先生大声嚷道。yelled符合文中的情形。

10.realize为“意识到”，其他三个选项不妥。

11.对上苍赐给我们的财富我们应该心怀感激，grateful符合文意。

12.根据上文可知应该选lose。

13.take…for granted是固定搭配。

14.根据上文“We need to treasure our wealth, take care of them…”推断应该选B项。

15.联系下一句“…they are gone forever.”可知应该选gone。gone是形容词，表示动作的完成，不表示被动。
