A report shows 86% of people in China use mobile phones to pay. For students, they seldom touch (触碰) the real money in their daily life. They may only do it when they get lucky money during the Spring Festival. When they need to buy something, they usually don’t reach into their pockets for paper money. They use their digital (电子的) watches. As a result, many children ask their parents, “Why not keep money in the mobile phone or the watch?” Hearing the question from their kids, a large number of parents start to worry. “Our children don’t have a sense of money. For them, money is just numbers. They have no idea where money comes from or how difficult one makes money. This may cause big problems when they grow up,” one mother said. To solve the problem, a few primary schools in some cities begin to give special Maths classes to teach students about money. During the lessons, teachers show all the paper money and coins (硬币) to students and teach them the basic units, like yuan, jiao and fen. What’s more, the teachers ask the students to do simple calculations (计算): from jiao to yuan or from yuan to fen. Mr Wang, a head teacher, said, “Most children know little about money, so we need to help them get to know it. It’s a challenging job, but the classes will be helpful to them in the future.” 34.

D 37. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了随着移动互联网和移动支付的发展，越来越多的孩子不再使用纸币，针对这一问题，有的学校采取了一些办法帮助孩子学习关于钱的知识。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据“With the development of the mobile Internet and mobile payment (支付), more and more children are not using paper money now.”可知，作者开篇介绍“随着移动互联网和移动支付的发展，越来越多的孩子不再使用纸币”这一事实，故选B。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据“They use their digital (电子的) watches.”可知，孩子们通常使用电子手表支付。故选C。 【36题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“but the classes will be helpful to them in the future”可知，这项工作有挑战性，也即困难的。故选D。 【37题详解】 段落大意题。最后一段主要介绍了学校如何帮助孩子学习关于钱的知识。故选A。 阅读下面的短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Interesting people are often popular. ____38____ Then how can you become an interesting person?

Last weekend, my brother ________ two hours ________ his bike. 【答案】 ①. spent ②. repairing 【解析】 【详解】句意：上周末，我哥哥花了两个小时修理他的自行车。it took sb.+时间+to do sth.“某人做某事花了多少时间”，改为同义句，可用句型sb. spends/spent+时间+(in) doing sth.；根据“Last weekend”可知，时态为一般过去时，spend应用过去式spent；repair的动名词为repairing。故填spent；repairing。 53. When we worry about something, we always go to Mr Li for help. When something ________ ________, we always go to Mr Li for help. 【答案】 ①. worries ②. us 【解析】 【详解】句意：当我们担心某事时，我们总是向李先生寻求帮助。改写句子后，主语是“something”，谓语动词要用第三人称单数形式，所以这里用动词worry“担心”的三单形式worries，后接宾格us“我们”。故填worries；us。 54. I didn’t see a film yesterday. I chatted with friends on WeChat. I chatted with friends on WeChat ________ ________ seeing a film yesterday. 【答案】 ①. instead ②. of 【解析】 【详解】句意：我昨天没有看电影。我在微信上和朋友聊天。改为同义句，即“我昨天在微信上和朋友聊天，而不是看电影”；instead of“代替，而不是”，介词短语。故填instead；of。 Ⅷ. 根据汉语提示完成下列句子。（共10空；每空1分，满分10分） 55. 我的父母都是社会工作者，他们希望可以随时帮助他人。 My parents are both ________.

You need to ________. 【答案】 ①. making mistakes ②. keep trying 【解析】 【详解】make mistakes表示“犯错误”，动词短语，空前的of是介词，故make应用动名词making；keep trying表示“不断尝试”，根据need to do sth.“需要做某事”可知，动词keep用原形。故填making mistakes；keep trying。 57. 琳达是对语文很着迷，在课堂上总是认真听讲。 Linda ________________________Chinese and always ________ ________________________. 【答案】 ①. is ②. crazy ③. about ④. listens ⑤. carefully ⑥. in ⑦. class 【解析】 【详解】be crazy about表示“着迷于”，主语Linda为第三人称单数，be动词用is；listen carefully表示“认真听讲”，根据“and always”可知，此处是作并列谓语，故动词listen应用三单listens；in class“在课堂上”，在句中作状语。故填is；crazy；about；listens；carefully；in；class。 58. 杰克迫不及待下车了，因为他想欣赏更多的景点。 Jack couldn’t wait ________ the bus, he wanted to enjoy more ________. 【答案】 ①. to get off ②. sights 【解析】 【详解】get off表示“下车”，动词短语；根据couldn’t wait to do sth.“迫不及待地想做某事”可知，此处要用不定式；sight“景物，景象”，名词，more后接名词复数。故填to get off；sights。 59. 三个月前，第33届奥运会在巴黎举行，很多志愿者主动为运动员们提供了帮助。 The 33rd Olympic Games ________ in Paris three months ago.

One morning, there was a knock on Jason’s door. When he opened the door, Jason saw an old carpenter (木匠). He asked Jason if (是否) there was anything in need of fixing on his farm.

The old carpenter then learned what happened to the two friends. He thought quietly for a moment and said, “I see.” Then Jason went to the city to buy things.

The servant (仆人) Ruth opened the door and took two men to Father’s study. Father had a long talk with the two men. Then Mother went to the study too. After a long time, Father and the two men left together. Mother went to the children. Her face was pale (苍白的) and her eyes looked very big and shining. Her lips (嘴唇) were pale too. “It’s bedtime,” she said. “Ruth will put you to bed.” “Where did Father go? We have a lot to share with him,” said Phyllis. “Father went away because of some important work,” said Mother. “Darlings, go to sleep at once.” Peter and Phyllis kissed (亲吻) her and went to sleep. Roberta, the eldest child, hugged Mother and whispered, “Mum, it wasn’t bad news, was it?” “Well, I can’t tell you anything tonight. Dear, go to bed now,” said Mother. Roberta kissed Mother and went to the bedroom. Ruth brushed the girls’ hair and helped them to take off their clothes. When Ruth was leaving, she found Peter, still dressed, waiting on the stairs (楼梯). “What happened to Father, Ruth?” he asked. “Don’t ask me any questions. I won’t tell you any lies,” Ruth said. “You’ll know soon.” After a while, the children all fell asleep. Mother came to their bedroom and kissed them. The kiss and tears (眼泪) woke Roberta up, but she said nothing. “Maybe Mother doesn’t want us to know she is crying,” she said to herself sadly. The next morning, when the children came down to have breakfast, Mother already went out. “There’s something really bad happening,” said Peter, breaking his egg. “Last night, Ruth told me we would know soon.” “Did you ask her?” said Roberta. “Yes, I did!” said Peter in a loud voice. “You could go to bed without caring whether (是否) Mother was worried or not, but I couldn’t.” —Adapted from The Railway Children 30.

A report shows 86% of people in China use mobile phones to pay. For students, they seldom touch (触碰) the real money in their daily life. They may only do it when they get lucky money during the Spring Festival. When they need to buy something, they usually don’t reach into their pockets for paper money. They use their digital (电子的) watches. As a result, many children ask their parents, “Why not keep money in the mobile phone or the watch?” Hearing the question from their kids, a large number of parents start to worry. “Our children don’t have a sense of money. For them, money is just numbers. They have no idea where money comes from or how difficult one makes money. This may cause big problems when they grow up,” one mother said. To solve the problem, a few primary schools in some cities begin to give special Maths classes to teach students about money. During the lessons, teachers show all the paper money and coins (硬币) to students and teach them the basic units, like yuan, jiao and fen. What’s more, the teachers ask the students to do simple calculations (计算): from jiao to yuan or from yuan to fen. Mr Wang, a head teacher, said, “Most children know little about money, so we need to help them get to know it. It’s a challenging job, but the classes will be helpful to them in the future.” 34. How does the writer start the passage? A. By playing a trick. B. By showing a fact. C. By asking a question. D. By showing numbers. 35. Now, children usually pay for the things with ________. A. paper money B. coins C. digital watches D. lucky money 36. What does the underlined word “challenging” mean? A. Boring. B. Interesting. C. Dangerous. D. Difficult. 37. The last paragraph is mainly about ________. A. how schools help kids learn about money B. what problems kids meet in Maths classes C. how Maths teachers give interesting classes D. why kids don’t often touch real money now 阅读下面的短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Interesting people are often popular. ____38____ Then how can you become an interesting person? Here is some useful advice. ____39____ Doing the same things every day can be boring. You can learn a new sport or pick up a hobby. New activities will make your life full of fun and surprises. Go on a trip as often as you can. Seeing more of the world can help you learn more about different people and places. ____40____ These can give you lots of material to make your talk fun.
