He sells some of them to buy something”可知,此处是说外祖父的农场供大于需,他卖掉其中的一部分来购买生活必需品。故选D。10.A考查代词辨析。根据下文“He sold at least two cows,his every child to school.”可以推断出,外祖父把每个孩子都送去上学了。故选A。11.C考查动词短语辨析。通读全文以及本句上下文可知外祖父生活自给自足,手里没有什么钱但是足以生活,从不担心吃的和日常所需,他就这样度过了过去的75年。故选C。12.C考查动词辨析。本句呼应文章的开头,即外祖父被认为是穷的,就像无数其他的非洲人一样。故选C。13.D考查副词辨析。根据下文“He produces most of what he needs. But according to the Standard World Bank, my grandfather is really poor.”可以推知,外祖父没有钱,但是实际上他很少需要钱。故选D。14.A考查名词辨析。此段作者谈到了“什么是真正的贫穷”的话题,下文告诉读者一个关于钱的事实。“Whats the truth?”意为“事实是什么呢?”故选A。15.B考查副词辨析。根据本段讨论的问题,以及上文“But I can hardly support my family”可以推知,此处是指作者(挣的钱很多),但是不能像外祖父那样舒服地,容易地养家糊口。故选B。.()1.wider2.quickly3.improvement4.ask for5.forgotten()1.own2.example3.look4.dictionary5.correct/right6.puts7.understand8.meaning9.pairs10.already.1.are2.a3.radios4.their5.on6.to visit7.more popular8.easily9.because10.It.1.stay away2.into our pockets3.two computers4.most important subjects5.watching TV
