[素能提升练] Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分，共20分) A My family，my wife Joan，our two teenagers Hannah and Joseph，and I，live in Atlanta with our two dogs. Ten years ago，we moved into our dream house，a very big three-storey home.It was a beautiful place，but as our children grew up，our sense of togetherness began to disappear slowly.In the big house，we sometimes seemed to be strangers to each other. One day when Hannah was 14，she became upset about the difference between the world's haves and the have-nots.She expected us to be “a family that makes a difference in the world，even if it's a small difference”．Joan asked her，“What are you willing to sacrifice? Your house? Your room? ” Hannah said yes to both.After talking it over as a family，we decided to sell our house and move to one that was half its size and price and donate(捐赠) the difference to those in need. After a lot of research，we chose the Hunger Project，a US-based organization.It works with villagers in Africa，Asia and South America and helps them fight against poverty.Our money went to pay for building two centers.Each has a meeting place，a bank and a health clinic.Together，the centers would serve more than 20 villages in eastern Ghana.We also traveled to meet the villagers and were blown away by their hard work and warmth. To be honest，we were a little worried at first.Would we regard the new home as being too small for us? Or would we think we had given up too much? Two years later，I can tell you: It's the best move we have ever made.While we worked together on our family project，we became much closer.As Hannah said the other day，“We learned how to really trust each other.” 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过自己搬家的事例说明了把钱用在需要帮助的人身上对生活更有意义，并且最终一家人学会了如何真正信任彼此。 1．What can we know about the author's family after they moved into a large house? A．They were not as close as before. B．They wanted an even larger house. C．They often went traveling together.

A．Hope for.　 B．Look for. C．Give up.　 D．Build up. 答案：C 解析：词义猜测题。从她母亲的问话“Your house? Your room? ”以及下文一家人卖掉大房子并捐赠了房款的差价可推知，画线词的含义是“牺牲，放弃”，与“give up”同义。故选C。 3．Why did the author's family sell their big house? A．To go abroad. B．To help the poor. C．To treat Hannah's illness. D．To save money for the future. 答案：B 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句以及第四段内容可知，他们卖掉大房子是为了给穷人提供帮助。故选B。 4．How did the author feel about his family's move? A．It was well worth it. B．It was a bad decision. C．It was a waste of money. D．It wasn't as satisfying as expected. 答案：A 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“It's the best move we have ever made.”可知，作者感觉他们的这次搬家非常值得。故选A。 B The plot of the story of The Million Pound Bank Note centers on the impossibility of cashing a high valued bank note by a common man.Within this story it is narrated that only two such notes were ever issued and anyone who walks into a bank to cash that note will get himself in trouble.So，do such million pound bank notes really exist? Let's do a bit of digging around for the purpose of satisfying the curiosity over this question. Such high valued pound bank notes do exist，and they were usually used for transactions(交易) within banks.The Bank of England used “one million” and “hundred million” pound bank notes to keep parity(等价) with bank notes issued by Scottish and Northern Irish banks.These notes—the one million ones were called “giants” and came in A5 size and the hundred million ones were called “titans” having an A4 size—were more like IOU documents (legal forms that describe a loan between a lender and a borrower) and they were special issues from the Bank of England to meet the requirement of backing the value of everyday notes issued by banks in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Nine such one million pound notes were issued in connection with the Marshall Plan(the US's post-war aid program to Western Europe)，equal to the loan from the US after World War Ⅱ(WWⅡ) in 1948.After cancellation，of these nine only seven were destroyed and two survived with private collectors.Such high valued notes are not usually found in the normal transactional scenes and it is believed that notes worth eight billion pounds were printed in these heavy denominations(面额) in total. Mark Twain can create humor from narrations of unrealistic and often funny simple situations and The Million Pound Bank Note is a nice example of his storytelling abilities. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了现实中真实存在面值百万英镑的巨额钞票。 5．Why does the author mention The Million Pound Bank Note in Paragraph 1? A．To bring up the topic. B．To question the readers. C．To retell the famous story. D．To support the topic. 答案：A 解析：推理判断题。作者在首段借《百万英镑》的背景设定提出疑问“So，do such million pound bank notes really exist？”，并在第二和第三段进行了解释。所以作者在第一段提及《百万英镑》就是要引出本文的话题。故选A。 6．What can we learn about “giants” and “titans”？ A．They were the same size. B．They were sold at a discount. C．They were issued by banks in Scotland. D．They were mainly used within banks. 答案：D 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段内容可知，giants和titans分别指的是面值一百万英镑和一亿英镑的巨额钞票，结合第二段的第一句和第三段末句可知，这两种类型的钞票一般只用于银行内部交易。故选D。 7．What do we know about the nine 1948 one million pound notes? A．Seven of them were destroyed in WWⅡ. B．Two of them became private collections. C．All are worth eight billion pounds now. D．All were used by the public at that time. 答案：B 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“After cancellation...two survived with private collectors.”可知，1948年的九张百万英镑钞票中的两张被私人收藏家收藏。故选B。 8．What does the author want to do in the last paragraph? A．To show Mark Twain's humor. B．To praise Mark Twain and his work. C．To introduce The Million Pound Bank Note. D．To uncover Mark Twain's attitude towards society. 答案：B 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，作者评价《百万英镑》展示了马克·吐温精彩幽默的叙事能力，称赞了马克·吐温的叙事能力及其小说《百万英镑》的成功。故选B。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五(每小题2.5分，共12.5分) (2025·四川省巴中市高一期末) Children develop their habits and attitudes(态度)about money from their parents and how money is managed at home.
