第一篇：
Almost everybody in America will spend a part of his or her life behind a shopping cart(購物手推車) will, in a lifetime, push the chrome-plated contraptions many miles. But few will know-or even think to ask-who it was that invented them.
Sylvan N. Goldman invented the shopping cart in 1937. At that time he was in the supermarket business.
Every day he would see shoppers lugging (吃力地攜帶) groceries around in baskets they had to carry.
One day Goldman suddenly had the idea of putting baskets on wheels. The wheeled baskets would make shopping much easier for his customers, and would help to attract more business.
On June 4,1937,Coldman's first carts were ready for use in his market. He was terribly excited on the morning of that day as customers began arriving. He couldn't wait to see them using his invention.
But Goldman was disappointed. Most shoppers gave the cart a long look, but hardly anybody would give them a try.
After a while, Coldman decided to ask customers why they weren't using his carts." Don't you think this arm is strong enough to carry a shopping basket?"one shopper replied.
But Coldman wasn't beaten yet. He knew his carts would be a great success if only he could persuade people to give them a try. To this end, Goldman hired a group of people to push carts around his market and pretend they were shopping! Seeing this, the real customers gradually began copying the phony (假冒的)customers.
As Goldman had hoped, the carts were soon attracting larger and larger numbers of customers to his market. But not only did more people come-those Who came bought more. With larger, easier-to- handle baskets, customers unconsciously bought a greater number of items than before.
Today's shopping carts are five times larger than Goldman's original model. Perhaps that's one reason Americans today spend more than five times as much money on food each year as they did before 1937-before the coming of the shopping cart.

第二篇：
76.【答案】Jean Paul Getty made a fortune by himself.
【解析】段落主旨大意題。第一段沒有主旨句，但是透過對整段內容的把握，我們可以看出，Jean Paul Getty掙了很多錢，但是靠自己努力的結果，沒有靠父親的幫忙。
77.【答案】didn’t bring happiness
【解析】第一個詞是but，與前文形成轉折關係，第一段說Getty很有錢，但是第二段中說他結了5次婚，離了5次婚，並且他的.孩子也都不快樂，所以應該填錢沒有帶來幸福。
78.【答案】Although he was wealthy, he wanted to save every cent./he didn’t want to waste money./he was mean.
【解析】本題是用英語“解釋”，而不是用中文“翻譯”，關鍵是短語“in spite of”,儘管的意思， “miser”透過下文中他的行爲可以看出來他是個“小氣鬼”。
79.【答案】They took Getty’s grandson for money.
【解析】對原文“kidnappers took his 16-year-old grandson, and demanded a large amount of money for his safe return.”的簡化，精簡到10個字之內就可以了。

【解析】最後一段中介紹了Getty對他創立的藝術博物館的貢獻，從而說明他對藝術做出了巨大的貢獻。
