6、对钱的态度。 21选C discover表示发现某一现象，在此较为合乎逻辑第17空前的 uncover一词对此也有启示作用。 22选B 这里强调的是人们的普遍观点，故用think。 23选D keep a record意为“记录”，符合教授的意图。 24选A 记下花钱的“方式”，有助于人们反思自己在生活中，实际上总是注重一些什么东西。 25选B value意为“珍惜”、“重视”。 26选C relation(关系)是中性词，合乎这里的情境。 27选D might表示“也许”，在几个词中语气最弱，符合下一句所揭示的语境。 28选D 由下文可知，这里指“借钱”。 29选A 愿意借钱了，关系自然比以
7、前更牢固。从下一句的weaken一词中也能得到启示。 30选B otherwise意为“否则”或“反过来”，它表示对立关系，而but表示“转折”关系，即不一定是相反的关系。该句表示借钱怎么样，不借钱怎么样，故用otherwise更为合适。 2语法填空 阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为31-40的相应位置上。字数：166完成时间：8分钟难度：* One day Johns wife was ill.
