All the colorful bags of chips and toys attracted me so much that I wished my parents to buy them for me. I cannot remember a time when I didn’t ask for something at the store. However, my dad always 1 my request and told me with a disappointing face, “You can waste as much money as you want when you have a job.” I listened, but I never really heard the 2 he was trying to let me get. 3 I wanted so many things and my parents would never meet my needs, I made up my mind to make money as a babysitter myself. I remember the feeling of getting new money 4 my own hard work, then spending it the next week. Several years later, I was a freshman at my college and did not feel like searching for a new job. One day, I saw people 5 leaflets (传单) at school. They said that more job chances were offered. I wasn’t 6 at first because I thought I was fine feeding myself by babysitting. But after I 7 thought about the money I could make, I decided to apply (申请) to work as a lifeguard (救生员) advertised on the leaflet. After a few months’ training, I could finally start the job. But the more money I made, the 8 I wanted to spend. As the work and pay 9 , so did my responsibilities with money. Instead of wasting my money on useless things, I started saving up. I finally realized that money meant so much more to me because I was the one working for it. Beautiful things are always there in the store, but I just don’t want 10 any longer. I have 5,000 dollars in total in my bank account now. My life has totally changed because I have understood the value of money. It is more than what I can spend. 1．A．missed B．refused C．failed D．kept 2．A．sound B．news C．message D．story 3．A．Since B．Though C．Unless D．But 4．A．in B．across C．at D．through 5．A．handing in B．handing out C．giving away D．giving up 6．A．surprised B．pleased C．interested D．worried 7．A．luckily B．strictly C．strangely D．seriously 8．A．more B．better C．less D．fewer 9．A．raised B．increased C．dropped D．fell 10．A．this B．that C．them D．it 【答案】 1．B 2．C 3．A 4．D 5．B 6．C 7．D 8．C 9．B 10．C 【导语】本文讲述作者从小父母就教育他要自己挣钱买自己想要的东西，但当时没有理解父母的用意。直到作者长大自己挣钱后，他意识到了合理花钱的意义。 1．句意：然而，我父亲总是拒绝我的请求，并一脸失望地告诉我。 missed错过；refused拒绝；failed失败；kept保持。根据下文“You can waste as much money as you want when you have a job.”可知，作者的父亲让作者以后拥有工作后才能尽情花钱，由此可知现在的作者想要花钱，他的父亲是拒绝的。故选B。 2．句意：我听了，但我从来没有真正听到他想让我得到的信息。 sound声音；news新闻；message信息；story故事。根据“I listened, but I never really heard the…he was trying to let me get.”可知，作者听了父亲的话，但是没听懂父亲想要传达的信息。故选C。 3．句意：由于我想要很多东西，而我的父母永远无法满足我的需求，我决定自己当保姆赚钱。 Since既然，由于；Though尽管，虽然；Unless除非；But但是。分析句子可知，这两句为因果关系，前因后果，所以用since引导原因状语从句。故选A。 4．句意：我记得通过自己的努力获得新的钱，然后在下周花掉的感觉。 in在……里面；across穿过；at在；through通过。根据“getting new money …my own hard work”可知，此处指通过自己的努力赚钱。故选D。 5．句意：有一天，我看到人们在学校发传单。 handing in上交；handing out分发，散发；giving away泄露；giving up放弃。根据“leaflets”可知，此处指发传单。故选B。 6．句意：一开始我不感兴趣，因为我认为我可以通过保姆这份工作来养活自己。 surprised惊讶的；pleased高兴的；interested感兴趣的；worried担心的。根据“I wasn’t…at first because I thought I was fine feeding myself by babysitting.”可知，作者认为保姆这份工作就能养活自己，所以他对传单上的其他工作不感兴趣。故选C。 7．句意：但在我认真思考了我能赚到的钱后，我决定申请做传单上广告的救生员。 luckily幸运地；strictly严格地；strangely奇怪地；seriously严肃地，认真地。根据“I…thought about the money I could make”可知，作者认真地思考了自己能赚到的钱。故选D。 8．句意：但我赚的钱越多，我就越不想花钱。 more更多；better更好；less更少；fewer更少。根据“Instead of wasting my money on useless things, I started saving up.”可知，作者开始存钱，也就是他想花的钱更少了，此处修饰不可数名词money，用less。故选C。 9．句意：随着工作和工资的增加，我对金钱的责任也随之增加。 raised提升；increased增加；dropped掉下；fell落下。根据上文“But the more money I made…”可推知，作者的工作和工资都增加了。故选B。 10．句意：漂亮的东西总是在商店里，但我只是不再想要它们了。 this这个；that那个；them它们；it它。此处指代上文“beautiful things”，应用复数代词them。故选C。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
