Question

8．The standard of living of any country means the average person's share of the goods and services which the country produces．A country's standard of living，therefore，depends first and foremost on its capacity to produce wealth．"Wealth"in this sense is not money，for we do not live on money but on things that money can buy，"goods"such as food and clothing，and"services"such as transport and entertainment．
A country's capacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors，most of which have an effect on one another．Wealth depends to a very degree upon a country's natural resources，such as coal，gold，and other minerals，water supply and so on．Some regions of the world are well supplied with coal and minerals，and have a fertile soil and a favorable climate； other regions possess perhaps only one of these things，and some regions possess none of them．The USA is one of the wealthiest regions of the world because she has vast natural resources within her borders，her soil is fertile，and her climate is of variety．The Sahara Desert，on the other hand，is one of the least wealthy．
Next to natural resources comes the ability to turn them to use．Sound and stable political conditions，and freedom from foreign invasion （侵略），enable a country to develop its natural resources peacefully and steadily，and to produce more wealth than another country equally well served by nature but less well ordered．
Another important factor is the technical efficiency of a country's people．Old countries that have，through many centuries，trained up numerous skilled craftsmen and technicians are better placed to produce wealth than countries whose workers are largely unskilled．
Wealth also produces wealth．As a country becomes wealthier，its people have a large margin （富余） for saving，and can put their savings into factories and machines which will help workers to turn out more goods in their working day．

77．答案是produced．細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)句子"the average person's share of the goods and services which the country produces"的意思"人們對(duì)商品和服務(wù)的平均分享是由國(guó)家生產(chǎn)的"，所以用produced過(guò)去分詞作定語(yǔ)相當(dāng)于定語(yǔ)從句"which the country produces"．所以答案是produced．
78．答案是affect/influence．細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)文中句子"A country's capacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors，most of which have an effect on one another．"定語(yǔ)從句中which指的是factors，have an effect on英語(yǔ)的固定短語(yǔ)"產(chǎn)生效果，對(duì)…有影響"，affect/influence是名詞"影響"，所以答案是affect/influence．
  79．答案是mainly/mostly/largely．細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)文中句子"Wealth depends on a very degree upon a country's natural resources"財(cái)富主要依靠一個(gè)國(guó)家大量的自然資源，mainly/mostly/largely 復(fù)合"a very degree"很大程度上的意思．
80．答案是natural．  細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)文中句子"Next to natural resources comes the ability to turn them to use"另一種自然資源來(lái)自于這種能把自然資源轉(zhuǎn)化利用的能力，them指的是the natural resources．所以答案是natural．
81．答案是technical．細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)句子"Another important factor is the technical efficiency of a country's people"另一種重要的因素是一個(gè)國(guó)家的人們的技術(shù)效率，所以答案是 technical．
82．答案是various．  細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)文中句子"and her climate is of variety"她的氣候是多種多樣的，variety名詞"多樣，各種各樣"，various形容詞"多種多樣"，所以答案是various．
83．答案是poorest． 細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)句子"The Sahara Desert，on the other hand，is one of the least wealthy"撒哈拉沙漠，從另一方面講，是財(cái)富最少的地方，poorest是最窮的．
84．答案是effect（s）． 細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)句子"Wealth also produces wealth"財(cái)富可以生產(chǎn)財(cái)富，可見(jiàn)這是財(cái)富對(duì)財(cái)富的影響，effect動(dòng)詞"影響"，所以答案是effect．
85．答案是turn．細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)文中句子"can put their savings into factories and machines which will help workers to turn out more goods in their working day．所以答案是turn．
