解析1. C。他不安于貧困，去找算命先生自然是詢問如何致富。
2. A。四個選項中只有A項anxiously可以表現(xiàn)他迫不及待的心情。
3. D。根據(jù)下文“You use them to see this world.”可知應(yīng)為eyes。
4. B。雖然四個選項所表示的都是眼睛可以看到的，但beautiful合乎算命先生說話的意思。
5. A。根據(jù)后面的“You can run very fast.”可知應(yīng)為legs。
6. D。根據(jù)后面的“I am willing to give you…”及willing的用法可知選D項。
7. C。charge和change意思不符；buy后不跟for, 所以用exchange。
8. A。根據(jù)前面的一句“I am not going to exchange my eyes for money!”可知年輕人不愿意交換，可以推斷眼睛對他來說是重要的、寶貴的。所以選A。
9. D。從年輕人說話的語氣推斷他應(yīng)該很生氣，所以沖著算卦先生大聲嚷道。yelled符合文中的情形。
10. B。realize為“意識到”，其他三個選項不妥。
11. A。對上蒼賜給我們的財富我們應(yīng)該心懷感激，grateful符合文意。
12. D。根據(jù)上文可知應(yīng)該選lose。
13. A。take…for granted是固定搭配。
14. B。根據(jù)上文“We need to treasure our wealth, take care of them…”推斷應(yīng)該選B項。
15. C。聯(lián)系下一句“…they are gone forever.”可知應(yīng)該選gone。gone是形容詞，表示動作的完成，不表示被動。
