37、1930 essay “Economic Possibilities for Our Grandchildren”，John Keynes，a famous economist，wrote that human needs fall into two classes：absolute needs，which are independent of what others have，and relative needs，which make us feel superior to our fellows.He thought that although relative needs may ind
38、eed be insatiable(无止境的)，this is not true of absolute needs.Keynes was surely correct that only a small part of total spending is decided by the desire for superiority.He was greatly mistaken，however，in seeing this desire as the only source of insatiable demands.Decisions to spend are also driven by
39、ideas of quality which can influence the demand for almost all goods，including even basic goods like food.When a couple goes out for an anniversary dinner，for example，the thought of feeling superior to others probably never comes to them.Their goal is to share a special meal that stands out from oth

44、eir demands for food are not easily satisfied.DTheir choice of dinner is related to ideas of quality.答案D解析细节理解题。根据第三段中“Decisions to spend are also driven by ideas of quality.”可推出D项正确。A项正是作者反对的观点，原文中明确出现“the thought of feeling superior to others probably never comes to them”；B、C两项原文未提及，很容易排除。故D项正确。7W
45、hat does the underlined word “escalation” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?AUnderstanding. BIncrease.CDifference. DStudy.答案B解析词义猜测题。根据下文的例子，跑车一直在改进，以及“People who really care about cars find these small improvements exciting.”可知，escalation应该有与improvements相近的意义，故increase正确。8The author of the passage argue
46、s that_.Aabsolute needs have no limitsBdemands for quality are not insatiableChuman desires influence ideas of qualityDrelative needs decide most of our spending答案A解析作者观点态度题。Keynes认为相对需求是无止境的，而绝对需求不是这样。第二段最后作者辩论说“Keynes把相对需求作为无止境需要的唯一来源”的观点是大大错误的，即作者辩论说绝对需求也是无限制的。故A项正确。.完成句子1The empty house is so di

184、2A.old BbusyCkind Dpoor答案D解析根据下文的内容，Michael Greenberg一直是在帮助穷人，为他们送去手套，所以poor“穷困的”符合文意，因此正确答案为D项。3A.job BnameCchance Dmessage答案B解析前一句中“对那些人来说，他是手套Greenberg”，所以这一句问的是他是怎么得到这个称号的，name“名称”符合文意。因此正确答案为B项。4A.calm BdifferentCcrazy Dcurious答案B解析上文说“他看上去跟其他商人一样，穿西装拎公文箱”，在but转折之后，后一句说“他的公文箱里总有几双手套”，说明是跟其他人不一样
185、，different“不同的”符合文意。故选B项。5A.act BsoundCfeel Ddress答案A解析act表现，行动；sound听起来；feel感受；dress穿着。下文中具体描绘了一些行为，所以act符合文意。因此正确答案为A项。6A.cross over Bdrive alongChurry down Dkeep off答案C解析cross over穿过；drive along沿着行驶；hurry down沿着匆忙走；keep off远离。根据上下文的描述，其他的纽约人都是看着人行道，行色匆匆，所以hurry down符合文意。因此正确答案为C项。7A.cars BpeopleC
186、street numbers Dtraffic lights答案B解析上文中说其他纽约人都是看着人行道，紧接着又提到了他会给人手套，所以他看的应该是people“人”。因此正确答案为B项。8A.helps BchoosesCgreets Dsees答案D解析“看到有人没有手套的时候就会停下来”，横线处应该用see表示看见。9A.holds up Bhangs outCmoves on Dturns around答案C解析根据上下文的意思，他在帮助了别人之后应该是继续前进，寻找更多没有手套的人。move on“继续前进”符合文意。因此正确答案为C项。10A.hands BearsCfaces D

189、 for为感到抱歉；satisfied with对感到满意；proud of为感到骄傲；surprised by因为而吃惊。17A.smart BrichCspecial Dhappy答案D解析下文中提到了帮助穷人会让每个人都更开心幸福，所以横线处的意思是说，他们(不认识他的人们)没有意识到，他只是想让他们开心。所以D项符合文意。18A.city BfamilyCneighborhood Dcompany答案B解析下文中提到了“Michaels father”，所以可以判断横线处说的是family“家庭”，run in the family是习惯表达，意为“世代相传，家庭特色”。19A.hon
190、or BpainCsame Dcold答案C解析由上文“父亲认为帮助穷困的人会让他们更开心”，上段最后一句中提到“Greenberg只是想让他们开心”可知他也有同样的感受，故C项符合文意。20A.small BusefulCdelightful Dcomforting答案A解析下文用but表示转折，并且提到了make a big difference“有很大的影响”，说明横线处应该是与big形成对比的，故small符合文意，表示一双手套虽小，但却能在冬天起到防冻的作用。.阅读理解In my living room，there is a plaque (匾) that advises me to
