One day a famous speaker gave a speech to a crowd of people. He held up a 36 bill. He asked, “Who would like this $20 bill ? ” Hands were 37 . Then he said, “I am going to give this $20 to one of you, but first let me do this.” He began to crumple（弄皱）the 38 . He then asked the audience, “ 39 still wants it ?” Still the hands went 40 in the air.
“ What 41 I do this? ” He asked, and he 42 it on the ground, and started to step on it. He 43 it up. Now the bill was 44 and crumpled. “ Now who still wants it?” Still the hands went up.
“My friends,” He continued, “You have all 45 a good lesson . No matter 46 I did to the money, you still wanted it because the bill did not lose its 47 . It was still worth $20. Many times in our 48 , we are dropped, crumpled, and stepped on, because we sometimes 49 wrong decisions, or we may 50 with something we do not 51 .When that happens, we feel depressed and think we are 52 . But in fact no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value. The worth of our life es not 53 what we do or whom we know, but in who we are! Don’t forget ‘the worth of a thing does not depend on its outside 54 , but on its inner value.’ This is the 55 of life.

(答案→)D
解析：
【小题1】D。根据名词、合成词的基础知识可以排除A、C，因为单复数不正确，B、D中D才能做定语修饰名词。
【小题1】C。A为不及物动词，无被动语态，B错误，因为缺少up，D没有举手的意思。
【小题1】A。可以根据前面2次出现了的bill做出判断。
【小题1】C。本句省去了Is there，将句子补充完整后易知答案。
【小题1】A。由still可知还是有人举手，up表示举起。
【小题1】C。本句为省略句，意思是如果if我这样做，你们还会要吗。
【小题1】C。本题考查词义辨析。使缓慢落下选fall。
【小题1】D。根据语境应该是捡起来picked。
【小题1】D。由前文知钞票被践踏，所以很脏dirty。
【小题1】B。为吸取教训意learned a good lesson。

【小题1】A。A为价值，B为价格，是表面的东西，是衡量价格的，与文意不符。
【小题1】D。由后文可知，下面引申到的是生活lives的道理。
【小题1】B。本题考常用搭配。Make wrong decisions,做出错误的决定。
【小题1】A。文章意思是meet with遇见，碰到。
【小题1】D。考查近义词辨析。Expect期望，盼望
【小题1】A。与47题对应，表示价值，值得worthless。
【小题1】B。in在……，生命的价值不在于我们所做的。
【小题1】C。look看起来。一个东西的价值不依赖于它外在所看起来的。
【小题1】B。truth真实。这就是真实的生活。只有B符合题意。
