The wider aim of the jars is to encourage teenagers to think more 9.objectively(objective) about money and the things that it can do，so that they grow up understanding the value of the 10.valuable (value). Ⅰ.阅读理解 A At a new building in Landover，Maryland，students are getting a crash course(速成课程)，in which they are learning how to spend，save and look after their money responsibly. Junior Achievement of Greater Washington，a volunteer-driven organization that provides programs focusing on work readiness，entrepreneurship(创办企业的精神) and financial literacy，hosted a grand opening of JA Finance Park，where eighth graders from Prince George's County Public Schools will use tablet computers to practice personal finance skills they have learned in class.An international study before clearly showed that more than 1 in 6 U．S.teens wore unable to make simple choices about how to spend their money. In the fall of 2010，Junior Achievement of Greater Washington opened doors to the first JA Finance Park in the region.JA Finance Park brings hands-on financial literacy education to students each year.There have been more than fifteen JA Finance Parks nationwide up to now.The JA Finance Park facility and operations are supported by a broad cross-section of the region's leading businesses and organizations.These partnerships allow Junior Achievement to transform thousands of young people into financially capable JA Finance Park graduates each year. Before coming to JA Finance Park，students have lessons on how to save and invest，how to read a bank statement and how to make out debit cards (借记卡) and credit cards.They put their skills to the test when they walk inside.Students are given a career，salary，debt and family situation，and then they are required to put together a monthly budget. Budgeting can be tricky.Students need to figure out how much to spend on groceries，rent，transportation and even entertainment.They shop with virtual money，making a change in their budgets according to different situations they may go into. When asked about the practice，a teacher at Benjamin Tasker Middle School in Bowie said the center was exciting and surprising for her students.One of the kids said，“Now I know why my mom gets mad at me when I ask her to buy me things！” [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。Junior Achievement of Greater Washington是一个致力于为学生提供专注于金融知识、工作准备和创业精神的课程的组织，其开设的JA Finance Park为学生提供了亲身实践的金融知识教育。本文对该组织的JA Finance Park进行了相关介绍。 1．What do the students learn in the crash course? A．Finance knowledge. B．Ways of making money. C．How to use tablet computers. D．How to make a monthly budget. 解析　细节理解题。根据第一段的内容可知，学生们在速成课堂上学习如何负责任地花钱、存钱和理财。由此可知，学生在速成课堂上学习金融知识。故选A。 答案　A 2．What's JA Finance Park? A．It's a center where students practice finance skills. B．It's a park where students can buy what they need. C．It's a bank where students can borrow or save money. D．It's a classroom where students learn finance skills. 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“JA Finance Park，where eighth graders...they have learned in class”可知，在JA Finance Park，学生将用平板电脑来练习他们在课堂上学到的个人理财技能。故JA Finance Park是学生们练习理财技能的中心。故选 A。 答案　A 3．What does the underlined phrase “make out” in paragraph 4 mean? A．Stand up for. B．Get ready for. C．Keep away from. D．Have an understanding of. 解析　词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“Before coming to JA Finance Park...debit cards(借记卡)and credit cards.”可知，在来到JA Finance Park之前，学生们要学习如何储蓄和投资，如何阅读银行结单，此处应该指的是如何理解借记卡和信用卡，所以make out的意思是“学会，理解”。故选D。 答案　D 4．What does the last paragraph try to tell us? A．U.S.teens need a lot of things in daily life. B．Teachers also learn a lot from the crash course. C．JA Finance Park has a good effect on students. D．U.S.mothers don't know how to teach their children to spend money. 解析　推理判断题。通读最后一段，尤其是根据“One of the kids said...to buy me things！”可推断出，最后一段试图告诉我们JA Finance Park对学生产生了良好的影响。故选C。 答案　C B A short while ago，I lost access to my WeChat account.I was not sure why it wouldn't let me log in；perhaps it was my ancient，out-of-date phone.But I wasn't too upset because it offered me an opportunity to take a break from social media—something more and more people are doing. In the United States，Twitter is losing millions of users each month and Facebook has seen a 44 percent decline among its younger users.Some of these users may have deserted Twitter and Facebook for other social media platforms，while many others have switched off because they felt that social media was having a negative effect on their happiness and overall quality of life. Stars have taken a break from social media because they were tired of so many Internet trolls(发挑衅帖子的人) leaving negative comments.Ordinary people (like me) are turning away from it because of the feeling that they were spending more time online and enjoying themselves less. It is not unusual for people to spend two or three hours a day posting or reading posts，to the point where it becomes an addiction.And it is an addiction.There is a chemical in your brain known as dopamine(多巴胺) which is sometimes called the “reward molecule” and its release gives you a feeling of pleasure.For instance，when you post a photo on WeChat and get a hundred likes，you feel happy.That's dopamine at work. In my case，being off WeChat left me with a feeling of anxiety for a few days.No doubt I missed my dopamine.And I got e-mails from friends wondering if I was fine or if I was just being anti-social(不喜欢社交的).But I soon began to feel quite peaceful and started to worry less about what other people were doing and concentrate more on my personal life.And it is an added bonus that I'm getting better sleep at night. I'm not motivating all of you to quit social media，but spending less time on these platforms does bring you advantages.You could start by leaving your phone at home when you go to school (for some，that's already a school rule).And it is also a good idea to charge your phone outside of your bedroom at night，as you are unlikely to get a good night's sleep when the notification(通知) bell keeps ringing. Someday I may reconnect with my WeChat account，but I'm not in a hurry.Life can be more relaxing and just as interesting without it. [语篇解读]　这是一篇议论文。作者告诉人们“暂时远离社交媒体是明智的选择”，并就其原因进行了分析。 5．Why does the author mention his disconnection with WeChat at the beginning of the passage? A．To introduce the disadvantages of social media. B．To explain why he lost access to his WeChat account. C．To illustrate the function of dopamine. D．To prove how WeChat makes life easier. 解析　推理判断题。作者在第一段说到他登录不上微信账号，但是他并没有太烦恼，因为这给了他暂时离开社交媒体的机会。接着在下文中作者以美国一些人退出社交媒体、明星因为厌倦网络喷子的负面评论而远离社交媒体、普通人远离社交媒体的例子讲述了社交媒体带来的消极影响。因此，作者在开头提到了自己与微信脱节，是为了介绍社交媒体的缺点。 答案　A 6．What is the current situation of social media in the United States according to the passage? A．Twitter and Facebook dominate all the social media. B．Famous people have deserted Twitter and Facebook for other social media. C．An increasing number of people are losing interest in social media. D．Social media add to people's happiness and life convenience. 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In the United States，Twitter is losing millions of users each month and Facebook has seen a 44 percent decline among its younger users.”可知，美国社交媒体的现状是越来越多的人对社交媒体失去兴趣。 答案　C 7．What does the fourth paragraph talk about? A．How dopamine works when you are posting or reading posts. B．The reason behind people's addiction to social media. C．Why WeChat is so popular among people. D．What you can do if you want to get many likes on WeChat. 解析　主旨大意题。第四段前两句讲到人们每天花两或三个小时来发帖子或阅读帖子是很平常的事，甚至到了上瘾的地步，这是一种瘾，紧接着介绍这种瘾的形成是因为大脑中的多巴胺在运作。由此可见，第四段主要是对人们沉迷于社交媒体背后的原因进行了分析。 答案　B 8．What is the author's attitude towards social media? A．To turn away from them immediately. B．To choose a social media platform that suits you. C．To connect with them is acceptable if you aren't addicted to them. D．To quit them will make your life more relaxing and interesting. 解析　推理判断题。根据倒数第一、二段可知作者对社交媒体的态度是“如果你没有上瘾的话，重新使用社交媒体是可以接受的”。故选C。本题易误选D。根据倒数第二段第一句可知作者并不是激励大家都放弃社交媒体，但是少花点时间在这些平台上确实会给你带来好处。故D项中的“To quit them”不符合文意。 答案　C Ⅱ.完形填空 My daughter Cathy suffered some terrible illness in her early childhood.After years of regular treatment，she 1 became healthy. Last summer，to be a swimmer，she wanted to 2 our local swim team.She practiced hard and finally 3 it.The team practice，however，was a rough start.She coughed and choked and could hardly 4 her first few weeks.Hearing her coughing bitterly one night，I decided to 5 her from it all.But Cathy woke me up early next morning，wearing her swimsuit 6 to go!
