1.One of the greatest stories of rags to riches success is that of Andrew Carnegie,who started life in Poverty but became the richest man in the world.
Carnegie was born in Scotland in 1837,the son of a weaver.In 1848,the.family moved to the United States and at 13Carnegie began work in a cotton mill,earning $1.5per week.About three years later,he found a better job as a telegraph messenger boy.At work,his superiors were impressed by his abilities and willingness to work hard.In 1853,he gained an office job at the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.This was his first big break.He continued to impress and rose rapidly through the company,gaining more and more responsibility.At the same time,Carnegie loved reading very much and made use of every opportunity to visit the library.He rend widely on all subjects,particularly literature.
Carnegie now began to save a little money and,with the help of his employer,began to make some successful investments(投資).He invested in the iron industry and eventually set up in business himself,owning several iron and steel plants.This was where he made his fortune.By the 1890s,the Carnegie Steel Company was the biggest and most successful business in the world.
Carnegie had always believed that the pursuit(追求)of wealth was never an end in itself.In his view,successful,wealthy people should give away their wealth for the benefit of everyone in society.True to his word,in 1901,at the age of 66,he retired from business and devoted the rest of his life to charity work.
Carnegie's lack of formal education and his poor family background clearly didn't influence his success.His rapid rise from poverty to wealth was due to his willingness to work hard,his intelligence and good business sense,and his talent for making things happen.He died in 1919at the age of 83.

24.What can be learnt from the text?A
A.Carnegie was highly thought of by his employers.
B.Carnegie made his investments independently.
C.Carnegie believed that money was everything.
D.Carnegie could have been more successful if he had been formally educated.
25.What does"gaining more and more responsibility"in the second paragraph most probably mean?B
A.Becoming more and more intelligent.
B.Being put to higher positions.
C.Having a better sense of confidence.
D.Reading more and more books.
26.How did Carnegie finally make a big fortune?C
A.His employer helped him.
B.He was much paid when working.
C.He set up his own business.
D.He saved money year by year.
27.Which of the followings will be the suitable title for the text?C
A.Andrew Carnegie:A Wealthy Man
B.Steel & Iron:The Most Profitable Business
C.From Rags to Riches:The Story of Andrew Carnegie
D.Intelligence and Good Business Sense:Two Factors in Becoming Rich.

分析 這是一篇傳記類文章,主要講述了卡耐基從貧窮,通過自己的努力成為一個成功人士的故事.

解答 24.A  細(xì)節(jié)理解題,根據(jù):"his superiors were impressed by his abilities and willingness to work hard."可知卡耐基被他的雇主高度評價,故A正確;根據(jù)"Carnegie now began to save a little money and,with the help of his employer,began to make some successful investments(投資)"可知:卡耐基是在雇主的幫助下投資成功,故B錯;根據(jù):"In his view,successful,wealthy people should give away their wealth for the benefit of everyone in society."可見卡耐基認(rèn)為錢不是全部,富有成功的人應(yīng)該為社會做貢獻(xiàn),故C錯誤;D選項(xiàng)無中生有,沒有依據(jù),故錯誤,故選A.
25.B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題:"He continued to impress and rose rapidly through the company,gaining more and more responsibility."句意:他繼續(xù)給公司留下深刻印象并迅速成長,獲得越來越多的責(zé)任,由此可見:卡耐基應(yīng)該是被放到更高的位置.故選B.
26.C  細(xì)節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)"He invested in the iron industry and eventually set up in business himself,owning several iron and steel plants.This was where he made his fortune."句意:他投資了鋼鐵行業(yè),最終自己建立了自己的企業(yè),擁有數(shù)家鋼鐵和鋼鐵工廠.這就是他發(fā)財(cái)?shù)牡胤剑蔬xC.
27.C 主旨大意題,綜合全文主要講述了卡耐基從貧窮一步一步努力取得成功的故事,所以C選項(xiàng):From Rags to Riches:The Story of Andrew Carnegie,從貧窮到富有,安德魯卡耐基的故事,這個標(biāo)題比較合適,故選C.

點(diǎn)評 題目涉及多道細(xì)節(jié)理解題,做題時結(jié)合原文和題目有針對性的找出相關(guān)語句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析,結(jié)合選項(xiàng)選出正確答案.推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案,切忌胡亂猜測,一定要做到有理有據(jù).
