As it turned out, it was silver, not lead, that was to make Leadvilles fort
35、une and wealth. Tabor knew little about mining himself, so he opened a general store, which sold everything from boots to salt, flour, and tobacco. It was his custom to “grubstake” prospective miners, in other words, to supply them with food and supplies, or “grub”, while they looked for ore（矿石） , i

Finally one day in the year 1878, so the story goes, two miners came in and asked for “grub”. Tabor had decided to quit supplying it be
37、cause he had lost too much money that way. These were persistent, however, and Tabor was too busy to argue with them. “Oh help yourself. One more time wont make any difference,” He said and went on selling shoes and hats to other customers. The two miners took $17 worth of supplies, in return for wh
38、ich they gave Tabor a one-third interest in their findings. They picked a barren place on the mountain side and began to dig. After nine days they struck a rich vein of silver. Tabor bought the shares of the other two men, and so the mine belonged to him alone. This mine, known as the “Pittsburgh Mi
39、ne,” made $1,300,000 for Tabor in return for his $17 investment. Later Tabor bought the Matchless Mine on another barren hillside just outside the town for $117,000.

43、 Lead Makes Leadvilles Fortune D The Best Investment 答案： 【小题 1】 C 【小题 2】 D 【小题 3】 B 【小题 4】 B 试题分析：本文主要讲述霍塞斯 奥斯汀 沃纳 泰勃发家的故事。先买下匹兹堡矿，后又买下 Matchless矿，最后成为市长，代理州长的传奇故事。 【小题 1】细节题。因为 Leadville可以为 Tabor带来巨富。这一点不是Leadville得名的原因，因为在文章第二段中，讲到这一点时，提及三个原因：A.因为 Tabor成为当地的居民代表人物， B.因为在 Leadville有丰富的铅的储藏量。 D.因为 L

45、充地讲，作为回报，供给者可以获得矿中资源一定份额。选 D 【小题 3】推断题。由原文可知泰勃的财产来源是有一定偶然性的，但是毕竟也是基于他开创的 “grubstake”模式，因为 A、 D都不对， C更 是没有根据，因为他还没有娶第二位夫人这一切就发生了。选 B 【小题 4】主旨题：文章都在讲述有关 H.A.W.Tabor发家致富的历史，如先买下匹兹堡矿，后又买下 Matchless矿，最后成为市长，代理州长，等等，所以涉及到的全是男主人公，从第一段的句子： Their history is fast becoming one of the legends of the Old West. 可
