1、泉州市2014高考英語文章突破一輪訓練（7）及答案C7重慶卷 In his 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

2、 thought that although relative needs may indeed be insatiable(無止境的), 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 insatia

3、ble demands. Decisions to spend are also driven by 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

4、goal is to share a special meal that stands out from other meals. There are no obvious limits to the escalation of demands for quality. For example, Porsche, a famous car producer, has a model which was considered perhaps the best sports car on the market. Priced at over $120,000, it handles perfect

5、ly well and has great speed acceleration. But in 2004, the producer introduced some changes which made the model slightly better in handling and acceleration. People who really care about cars find these small improvements exciting. To get them, however, they must pay almost four times the price. By

6、 placing the desire to be superior to others at the heart of his description of insatiable demands, Keynes actually reduced such demands. However, the desire for higher quality has no natural limits. 72. According to the passage, John Keynes believed that_.A. desire is the root of both absolute and

7、relative needs B. absolute needs come from our sense of superiority C. relative needs alone lead to insatiable demands D. absolute needs are stronger than relative needs 73. What do we know about the couple in Paragraph 3? A. They want to show their superiority. B. They find specialty important to m

8、eals. C. Their demands for food are not easily satisfied. D. Their choice of dinner is related to ideas of quality. 74. What does the underlined word “escalation” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Understanding. B. Increase. C. Difference. D. Study. 75. The author of the passage argues that _. A. abs

9、olute needs have no limits B. demands for quality are not insatiable Chuman desires influence ideas of qualityD. relative needs decide most of our spending 【要點綜述】本文就人的需要的分類進行了論述。作者首先敘述了對John Keynes觀點的部分認同，但其后則是對其觀點的批駁。該文作者認為，人的需要在很大程度上是對質(zhì)量的無盡追求。72. C細節(jié)理解題。短文第一段最后一句說明John Keynes需要論的觀點：相對需要是無止境的。73. D

10、推理判斷題。從該段第一句可知作者在該段一再強調(diào)的是質(zhì)量需求的重要性。這對夫婦在外面就餐慶祝結(jié)婚周年即體現(xiàn)了對該頓晚餐的選擇與對其質(zhì)量的要求相關(guān)。74. B詞義猜測題。從該段材料對保時捷的改進及人們對此改進趨之若鶩的追求來看，人們對質(zhì)量需求是不斷提高的。因此可斷定該詞含義為“提高”。75. A推理判斷題。第一段對John Keynes關(guān)于absolute needs的觀點進行了肯定和質(zhì)疑，而下文提出質(zhì)量需求是無止境的。該題主要說明作者對John Keynes關(guān)于relative needs是無止境的論斷的質(zhì)疑。干擾最大的是B選項，該觀點是作者的觀點，而不是被質(zhì)疑的觀點。該題題干中的argue在此

13、，and underneath a poem by William Blake. The flower, a lone dandelion standing against the bright blue sky，inspired me. My dad had been reciting those words to me since I was a kid.

14、. I told my mom to go without me and that I already created my gift. I sent the photo of the creamcolored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it.
