第2个空为什么不填top,第八个空为什么不填some
请高手解释一下，答案2：richest 答案8：both

Answer 1

2 由第一句中的billionaires可以知道，这文章从开头便注重财富的多少，钱的多少，所以这便要求我们要从财富方面考虑，所以richest更合适，而top的意思太宽泛，并且The top of these（billionaires） is Bill Gates，翻译不通（你可以去看看这里的例句http://dict.baidu.com/s?wd=top）
8 这句话是承接是一句而说的，尤其承接的是Jackie Coogan and Shirley Temple。你可以仔细想想，如果按你的填法，就应该是顺着6、7题所在的句子而寻找的答案，这样看来文章的逻辑性就不强了

PS:在我回答完这两个问题时，我发现你的问题全都存在于逻辑方面，我建议你最好在每次做完这些题后，可以返回去看看这类与逻辑有关的答案是怎么给的。再告诉你一个比较好用的经验——就近原则，这种题的答案一般于最近的句子，最近的词有关，所以你可以试试

Answer 2

问题是提出谁最富有，联系后面的worth at least $ 41 billion，top是形容高，richest又是富裕的意思又是最高级更加合适；include Jackie Coogan and Shirley Temple是两个人，所以用both，阅读题要先大致阅读全文再联系上下文填空的
