63、way”可以推断出，年轻人对大师简朴的穿着不理解。38A由下文语境及大师的行为可知，大师只是微微一笑。39C根据前面的“took his ring”可知是从手指上摘下来。40A从后面的“your question”，再结合前面的“why people like you dress in such a simple way”可知，大师会回答他的问题，所以A项符合题意。41D从前面的“take this ring to the market”可知是到市场上出售。42B从后面的“One chip of gold? I am not sure this ring could be sold”可以判断出
64、，这个年轻人心存疑虑。43C根据前面的“One chip of gold？”可知此处指戒指的价格。44A根据前文可知是去市场。45C从倒数第三段的“the traders in the market really dont know”可知，市场上的商贩没有人愿意(willing)用一块黄金来买这枚脏戒指。46D从后面的“to the owner or to the gold trader”可知大师让年轻人把这枚戒指给金店的老板或者金贩子看。47A从后面的“pay for”可知是听听他会出多少钱，所以A项符合题意。48B根据后面的“The gold trader.for one thousand
65、 chips of gold”再对比第四段的“.but no one.pay for a chip of gold”可知，年轻人这次的表情与去市场回来时的表情不一样。49C根据上文可知年轻人说市场上的商贩不懂得这枚戒指的价值。50D从后面的“for one thousand chips of gold”可知此处是指对这枚戒指开出的价钱。51A从第一段的“why people like you dress in such a simple way”可知不应该根据穿着来判断人。52C从后文可知，不能从外表来判断一个人，而应该从其内心来判断。53B从上下文可知，前后存在条件关系，即如果能看一个人的内
66、心深处，你才会看到他内在的“金子和钻石”。54D从前后文可知，看一个人的内心应该用心来看。55A根据前后文可知，我们不能根据他人的言语和评论而盲目判断别人。第三部分：英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第二节：(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。In my opinion, we should try our best _56_ (realize) our goals even though _57_ is little hope.

At last, I got high grades in English and I had _65_ (confident) to do it better in the future.答案与解析作者以自己学英语为例，告诉我们应该尽一切努力去实现自己的目标。56to realize考查动词不定式。try ones best to do sth. 表示“尽力去做某事”。57there考查句型。本句
70、是there be 句型。58a考查冠词。名词girl 第一次出现，表示泛指，用不定冠词a。59spoken考查过去分词。表示“口语”要用spoken English。60changed考查动词的时态。根据从句中的时态可知此处要用一般过去时。61interesting考查形容词。表示“有趣的”用interesting。62by考查介词。表示“逐渐地”用little by little。63it考查代词。分析句子结构可知句子的真正宾语是to learn English, found 后要用it 作形式宾语。64fluently考查副词。修饰动词talk 要用副词。65confidence考查名词
