本文是一篇小故事。以三位富人帮助一个贫困的村庄的不同方式，阐明“授人以鱼，不如授人以渔”的哲理。
1．A. loss B. expectations
D. problems
C. success
答案：D。文章开篇点明，在一片遥远而贫瘠的土地上，只有富人才不用费尽艰难勉强度日。此处without great problems相当于without much difficulty“不用费尽艰难”。
2．A. standing B. travelling
D. running C. gathering
答案：B。根据上下文可知，三位有钱人和他们的仆人们正在赶路(travel)，这时他们来到了一个贫穷的(poor)村庄。stand站立；gather聚集；run跑，显然只有travel“行走”符合题意。3．A. faraway B. poor
D. ancient C. different
答案：B。根据第一段中poverty和第二段首句说“第一个富人无法忍受看到这样的贫困(poverty)”可知，此处用poor。
4．A. unless B. because
页 - 1 - 第
C. so
D. if
答案：C。既然第一个富人无法忍受看到这样的贫困(poverty)，所以(so)他从四轮载重车拿出了自己的金银珠宝分给了村民们。
5．A. them B. anything
D. those C. nothing
答案：A。根据share sth. (out) among sb.“分享某物”可知，此处用人称代词them指代前面所提all the gold and jewels。
6．A. curious B. worrying
D. puzzling C. dangerous
答案：B。第二个富人看到这一令人担忧的(worrying)的形势，把他所有的食物和饮料送给了村民(the villagers)。curious好奇的；worrying令人担忧的；dangerous危险的；puzzling令人困惑的。显然B项符合题意。
7．A. the villagers B. his servants
D. the rest C. the others
答案：A。根据上下文可知，第二位富人把他所有的食物和饮料送给了村民(the villagers)，而不是the servants(仆人)/the others/the rest(其他人)。
8．A. could B. might
D. must C. should
答案：A。第二位富人之所以把他所有的食物和饮料送给了村民是因为他能(could)看得出金钱对这些贫困的村民眼下没有多大用处。might(或许)/should(应该)/must(必须)均不合题意。
9．A. interest B. concern
D. attraction C. use
答案：C。of little use to sb.“对某人没有多大用处”。interest兴趣；concern关心，关注；attraction 吸引。
10．A. returned B. gained
D. received C. offered
答案：D。第二位富人确保村民们得到(receive)自己公平的那份而且有足够的食物维持一段时间后，他离开了。
11．A. remain B. last
D. share C. supply
答案：B。last可以用来表示“持续，维持”一段时间，其他三项无此用法。remain 仍然，保持；不用来表示“某种状态持续的时间长度”；supply提供；share分享。
12．A. turned back B. set out
D. speeded up C. showed off
答案：D。此处表明：第三位富人一看到这一贫困，加快了步伐(speed up)，一刻也不停地页 - 2 - 第
径直走过了村庄。turn back转身；set out开始，出发；show off炫耀。
13．A. village B. land
