短文大意：本文是記敘文，講述了“我”在雪地里“撿到”兩枚銀幣后沾沾自喜，當(dāng)?shù)弥�是瑪麗的妹妹丟失的，“我”經(jīng)過激烈的思想斗爭終于歸還給她們，并深刻認(rèn)識到：通過不正當(dāng)手段獲得的財富并不能帶來幸福。

【1】句意：我把兩枚硬幣放進(jìn)口袋。

coins硬幣；bills賬單；checks檢查；notes便條。根據(jù)前文“Two silver coins were shining in a melting snow bank兩枚銀幣在融化的雪堆里閃閃發(fā)光”，可知選A。

【2】句意：兩天后，瑪麗和她的小妹妹蘇在雪地里搜尋（銀幣）。

watch觀察；clean打掃；search搜索；make制作。根據(jù)前文“so I dug through the snow looking for more于是我在雪地中挖尋更多的銀幣”，可知search符合句意，故選C。

【3】句意：盡管蘇已經(jīng)哭了，我還是不想把它們交出去。

worry擔(dān)心；cry哭叫；excite使興奮；shout喊叫。根據(jù)下文“she said between tears她含著淚說”，可知蘇哭了，故選B。

【4】句意：瑪麗的聲音聽起來很自信。

voice嗓音；talk談話；speech演講；reason原因。根據(jù)“sounded condent聽起來很自信”，可知BCD三項不合語境，voice切合句意，故選A。

【5】句意：她的眼睛里充滿了希望。

thankful感激的；hopeful有希望的；careless粗心的；fearless無畏的。根據(jù)上文瑪麗的問話“have you seen two silver coins? 你看到兩個銀幣了嗎”，可知她以為銀幣被菲兒挖走了，hopeful符合語境，故選B。

【6】句意：我想知道是誰把它們弄丟了。

imagined想象；expected期待；wondered疑惑；remembered記得。根據(jù)上文的回答“I dug two coins out of that snow bank just a few days ago我從那個雪堆里挖出了兩枚硬幣”，可知想知道是誰丟的，故選C。

【7】句意：如果你通過占別人的便宜或傷害別人來得到你的錢，你將不會快樂。

shame使羞愧；force強(qiáng)迫；control控制；hurt傷害。根據(jù)上文“Wealth got through dishonest means does not bring happiness通過不正當(dāng)手段獲得的財富并不能帶來幸福”，可知占別人的便宜或傷害別人都是不正當(dāng)?shù)�，故選D。

【8】句意：許多人認(rèn)為當(dāng)他們變得富有和成功，幸福自然會隨之而來。

gradually漸漸地；quietly靜靜地；actually實際上；naturally自然地。根據(jù)上文“when they become rich and successful當(dāng)他們變得富有和成功”，可知人們會充滿了幸福感，這自然是多數(shù)人的心理，故選D。

完形填空。主要題型有（1）考查詞義辨析：名詞辨析，形容詞副詞辨析，冠詞辨析，介詞連詞辨析等；（2）考查句子時態(tài)，語態(tài)，要根據(jù)語境，選擇正確的時態(tài)和語態(tài)的選項；（3）考查從句（賓語從句，定語從句，主語從句等）；（4）根據(jù)固定句型或短語結(jié)合語境選擇正確的選項。本文是故事類閱讀，主要考查單詞或短語辨析，做此類型題時，要知道每一個詞的意義，然后結(jié)合上下文背景語境，選擇適合語境的選項。例如小題3，四個選項都是形容詞：worry擔(dān)心；cry哭叫；excite使興奮；shout喊叫。根據(jù)下文“she said between tears她含著淚說”，可知蘇流淚了，故選B。
