Passage 1 (选自大纲样题)
Teaching Children to Spend Pocket Money Wisely(选自Unit 6,Text A)
① School-going children need pocket money for food, stationery and bus fares. Parents give pocket money to their children in different ways. Some give a lump sum at the beginning of a month or a week. Others prefer to give pocket money on a daily basis. 26 On the other hand, the children's spending habits may affect how pocket money is given.
② Pocket money given on a daily basis is sometimes termed as "food money". Children usually use the pocket money to buy food during recess(休息) and also at lunch hour if they have school activities in the afternoon. They learn how to manage small sums of money. 27 Some parents choose this method of allocating pocket money in order to prevent their children from overspending, hoping that in time they can be trusted with larger sums of money.
③ Giving pocket money on a daily basis places responsibilities of budgeting on the parents, instead of the child. The child may spend every single cent of the daily pocket money by overindulging in junk food as they know they will get another sum of money the next day. This results in children being shortsighted in their spending. The thought of saving money never crossed their minds. 28 Others spend more than they are given. They borrow from their siblings or their classmates when they feel like indulging themselves. Then they may ask for money to pay off their debts. This habit of borrowing causes them to depend on others to solve their problems. In such instances, the purpose of rationing is defeated.
④ Children need to learn how to budget their money. The key to doing this is to differentiate between needs and wants. 29 This habit, when inculcated since young, stands them in good stead when they start working and earning their own money. It enables them to resist the temptation of "buy now and pay later" schemes. Formation of any habit starts at a tender age. There is no better way to teach children to manage money than to start with their pocket t money. They need to learn the importance of budgeting right from kindergarten days. 30 When children learn to spend within their means, they are able to manage their finances well later in their lives.
A. It is a good idea to start with daily pocket money and move on to monthly pocket money.
B. The way in which pocket money is given affects how money is spent or saved.
C. Buy the necessary first, and indulge ourselves only if there is money left.
D. As the money is limited, they have to control their spending.
E. Parents who earn daily wages may also opt for this due to financial constraints.
F. They may develop the mentality(心态,意识) that money is meant to be spent.
26.
【答案】B
【解析】根据空格前出现的way和give,后面出现的give,spend和affect,这些都是解题线索,应引起考生的注意,这是答题的关键。前面提到父母给孩子零花钱的不同方式,后面提到孩子的花钱习惯影响父母给他们零花钱的方式。只有B(给零花钱的方式影响花钱和攒钱的方式)才能更好地衔接上下文。
27.
【答案】D
【解析】第二段主要讲父母每天给孩子一次零花钱对孩子的影响。They learn how to manage small sums of money.
27 Some parents choose this method of allocating pocket money in order to prevent their children from overspending,…空格前提到孩子如何花手中有限的钱,后面提到一些父母使用这种方法来控制孩子的过度消费,可知应选D。注意D中的limited和空格前的small呼应,control和空格后的prevent呼应,体现了内容的一致性。
28.
【答案】F
【解析】第三段主要讲这种提供零花钱的方式对孩子的花钱习惯带来的负面影响。The thought of saving money never crossed their minds. 28 Others spend more than they are given.空格前提到这种方式使孩子从来没有想过要攒钱,后面提到一些孩子会过度消费,甚至借钱。只有F提到了"孩子会养成一种钱就是用来花的观念"。另外F项中的they may develop…和下文的they may ask for…结构上一致。
29.
【答案】C
【解析】第四段主要讲述了孩子养成规划开支习惯的重要性。The key to doing this is to differentiate between needs and wants. 29 This habit, when inculcated(灌输) since young, stands them in good stead when they start working…空格前讲到学会规划开支的关键是区分需求和需要。C项(先购买必须的,只有当钱有结余时才去享受)是对前句的进一步解释。
30.
【答案】A
【解析】最后一段是对全文的总结,讲述了从小养成理财习惯的重要性。They need to learn the importance of budgeting right from kindergarten days. 30 When children learn to spend within their means, they are able to manage their finances well later in their
lives.空格前指出从幼儿园时就要学会规划零花钱的重要性,后面的内容指出从小养成理财习惯有益于未来个人的财务管理,空格中应该就是这种方法-从每天的零花钱开始攒起,慢慢到每月的零花钱。
【单选题】Decide which of the statements can be filled in the blank to make the passage complete.Sometime in the next century, the familiar early morning newspaper will disappear. _______________. You'll get up and turn on the computer newspaper just like switching on the TV. An electronic voice will distribute stories about the latest events, guided by a program that selects the type of news you want. You'll even get to choose the kind of voice you want to hear. Want more information on the brief story? A simple touch makes the entire text appear. Save it in your own personal computer file if you like. These are among the predictions from communications experts working on the newspapers of the future. Pictured as part of broader home based media and entertainment systems, computer newspapers would unite print and broadcast reporting, offering news and analysis with video images of news events.
A. Technology is making the end of traditional newspaper unavoidable.
B. And instead of reading your newspaper, it will read to you.
C. Despite technological advances, it could take decades to replace newsprint with computer screens.
D. But resistance to computer newspapers may be stronger from within journalism.
【答案】B
【解析】本题考查填句补文。所填的句子起着承上启下的作用,空格前讲的是"在未来的一个世纪人们熟悉的报纸可能会消失",后面是说"你起床后就像开电视一样打开电脑上的新闻",故空格处应该选择B。而且上下句都出现了newspaper一词,在空格后的第二句也提到一个电子声音会宣读消息、故事等等,故应该选择带有关键词newspaper和read的B。
