Human needs seem endless. When a hungry man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat; when a manager gets a new sports car, a big house and pleasure boats dance into view.
The many needs of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. When there is money enough to satisfy one level of needs, another level appears.
The first and most basic level of needs involves food. Once this level is satisfied, the second level of needs, clothing and some sort of shelter, appears. By the end of World War II, these needs were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. Then a third level appeared. It included such items as automobiles and new houses.
By 1957 or 1958 this third level of needs was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s, a fourth level of needs appeared: the "life enriching" level. While the other levels involve physical satisfaction, that is, the feeding, comfort, safety, and transportation, this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement, and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called "luxury" items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical and dental care, and recreation. Also included here are fancy goods and the latest styles in clothing.
On the fourth level, a lot of money is spent on services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of needs as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level?
A fifth level would probably involve needs that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crim, and prejudice. After filling our stomachs, our clothes closets, our garages, our teeth, and our minds, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure to enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.
1. According to the passage, man will begin to think about such needs as housing and clothing only when ______.
A. he has saved up enough money
B. he has grown dissatisfied with his simple shelter
C. he has satisfied his hunger
D. he has learned to build houses
[答案]C
【精析】本題答案對應於第一、三段。文章的第一段提到一個人有了吃的就會想到再要件衣服,第三段又說最基本的需求是食物,這個層次的需求得到滿足後人就會考慮服裝和住的地方。綜合判斷,所以選C,即他不再飢餓後就會產生對住處和衣服的需求。
2. It can be inferred from the passage that by the end of World War Ⅱ, most Americans ______.
A. were very rich
B. lived in poverty
C. had the good things on the first three levels
D. did not own automobiles
[答案]D
【精析】文章第三段中說第二次世界大戰結束時,對於大多數美國人來說,食品、服裝以及住所的需求都滿足了,然後第三個層次的需求,包括汽車和新房子便出現了。這說明第二次世界大戰結束時大多數美國人還沒有汽車。A“很富有”,意思不明。B“生活在貧困中”,不符合文意。C“滿足了前三個層次的需求”,也不正確,因爲這時第三個層次的需求才剛剛出現。
3. Which of the following is NOT related to "physical satisfaction"?
A. A successful career. B. A comfortable home.
C. A good meal. D. A family car.
[答案]A
【精析】本題答案對應於文章的第四段,第四段第三行說physical satisfaction包括食物、生活舒適、有安全感、有交通工具,在B、C、D中都有體現。故選A.
4. What is the main concern of man on the fourth level?
A. The more goods the better.
B. The more mental satisfaction the better.
C. The more “luxury” items the better.
D. The more earnings the better.
[答案]B
【精析】本題答案對應文章第四段,其中第四行this level,也就是第四個層次的需求強調的是精神需求,所以選B.
5. The author tends to think that the fifth level ______.
A. would be little better than the fourth level
B. may be a lot more desirable than the first four
C. can be the last and most satisfying level
D. will become attainable before the government takes actions
[答案]B
【精析】本題考查考生對作者意思的`整體把握。先看A“比第四個層次要好一些”,意思含糊。C“是最終的、最令人滿意的需求層次”,太絕對。D“在政府採取行動之前就能實現”,不合文意。文章說第五個層次的需求要通過集體行動實現,即人們付錢給政府,讓其對抗疾病、愚昧、犯罪與不公。可見這要在政府採取行動後實現。而B的意思是“比前四個層次的需求更值得擁有”,這是正確的。
