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 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. 1.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. 2.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. 3.What do we know about the nine 1948 one million pound notes? A.Seven of them were destroyed in World War Ⅱ. 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. 4.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. Ⅴ.七选五 (2025云南临沧高一下期末) How to Make and Keep a Budget(预算)? What Is a Budget? 　1　 Goals could include everything from taking a vacation and buying a new TV to saving money for children’s college education and enjoying a favorite hobby.  How to Make a Budget? Work out your total income.Figure out how much you can spend,and what you’ll spend on. Track current spending and classify it.Once you know how much money you have to work with,you need to understand your expenses(花费).　2　 Then,group monthly expenses into different types:fixed expenses,such as rent and essential changeable expenses,like food,gas,and medicine;unnecessary ones,such as dining out,sporting events,and travel.  Change spending targets by types.　3　 The idea is that you divide your net income into three types,spending 50% on needs,30% on wants,and 20% on savings.  Examine your budget regularly.Your budget will change over time,so check it on a regular basis and ask yourself key questions:Are you meeting your goals?Can you afford to save a bit more?Are you regularly struggling to make ends meet with your current spending? Tips for Sticking to Your Budget Take responsibility for yourself.Start budgeting with a friend,find online communities to join budget challenges or hire a budget coach.　4　  Pay in cash.While using a card to check out can be easy and convenient,it doesn’t have the same emotional response as handing over cash.Try to pay in cash only for a month and see if you save any money. 　5　 Saving 20% of the income may be hard for some people,but it’s really necessary to save some money for unexpected situations.Add this savings goal to your budget.That way,you’ll see it as something you must do.  A.Record the money lent to others. B.Start by tracking current daily spending. C.Find what works for you to earn a living. D.A common principle is the 50-30-20 rule. E.Treat savings as an expense in your budget. F.This makes you responsible to stick to what you started. G.A budget is to help you achieve and do the things you want.

John’s parents had always stressed the importance of saving,teaching him that small amounts added up over time,so every month,John would set aside some of his pocket money.Of course,this was not enough and he was also relying on his birthday gift money,which would arrive in three months.“Just a little more,and I’ll have enough!” he thought,excited about owning the gaming device he had longed for soon. One afternoon,while doing his homework at home,John overheard(偶然听到) a conversation between his mother and their neighbor,Mrs.Brown.Mrs.Brown,who lived next door,was struggling to pay for her daughter’s school fees(学费) and asked John’s mother if she could lend her some money.“Can you lend me some money right now?I’ll pay it back in a couple of months.Things are really hard for me now,” she requested.John’s mother responded that she would help as much as she could and would reach out to other relatives to see if more money could be gathered. As John listened,he began to think,“I have some money saved up,but if I give it to Mrs.Brown,what about my gaming device then?” After all,he really wanted the gaming device.But then he remembered how Mrs.Brown often lent a helping hand—whether it was bringing over a hot meal when his parents were busy or looking after their house during vacations.How could he refuse to do something for her in return? That night,John lay in bed and had a heartfelt conversation with himself.Eventually,after much thought,John made up his mind.He decided that the education of Mrs.Brown’s daughter was more important than his own material desires. 注意: 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 The next morning,John went directly to his mother after waking up. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Three months passed and finally it was John’s birthday. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 知识积累卡 一、重点单词 1.common adj.　　　　　  2.document n.　　　　　  3.respond v.　　　　　　　  二、词块速记 1.college education 　　　　　　　  2.divide...into 　　　　　　　  3.make ends meet 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  4.take responsibility for 　　　　　　　  5.unexpected situations 　　　　　　　  三、经典句式背诵 1....it is believed that notes worth eight billion pounds were printed in these heavy denominations in total.(It is +过去分词+that...) 句意:   2.Saving 20% of the income may be hard for some people,but it’s really necessary to save some money for unexpected situations.(It is+adj.+to do sth) 句意:   四、长难句分析 Mrs.Brown,who lived next door,was struggling to pay for her daughter’s school fees and asked John’s mother if she could lend her some money. 分析:Mrs.Brown...was struggling to...是主句,who引导的是非限制性定语从句,if引导的是宾语从句。 句意:   参考答案 Ⅰ.1.clerk　2.stairs　3.plot　4.element　5.Indeed 6.downstairs　7.manner　8.external　9.broad　10.tailor Ⅱ.1.Normally　2.permitting　3.optional　4.saying 5.maintaining　6.broken　7.to shake　8.As　9.to give 10.in Ⅲ.1.It seems that　2.As the saying goes;A friend in need is a friend indeed　3.no matter how many　4.have no option/choice but to work hard　5.as if seeing her Ⅳ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了现实中真实存在百万英镑的巨额钞票。 1.A　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?”,并在第二段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。 2.D　细节理解题。根据第二段可知,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。 3.B　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。 4.B　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》。 Ⅴ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了制定和保持预算的几种方法和建议。 1.G　根据段落标题“What Is a Budget?”可知,G项是对其中“budget”的解释。 2.B　根据上文“Track current spending and classify it.”可知,B项 “Start by tracking current daily spending.”与“Track current spending”形成原词复现,且“Start by”衔接“Once you know...”的步骤,符合流程逻辑。 3.D　根据下文“The idea is that you divide your net income into three types,spending 50% on needs,30% on wants,and 20% on savings.”可知,这里是对 50-30-20 规则的具体解释。D 项直接引出该原则。 4.F　上文建议与朋友一起计算预算、加入在线社区或雇用预算教练。F项符合语境,其中的“This”指代上文的责任机制。 5.E　根据下文可知,本段强调储蓄的必要性。E项“Treat savings as an expense in your budget.”与下文“Add this savings goal to your budget”呼应,且强化了储蓄的强制性,符合语境。 Ⅵ. Dear Mary,  How is everything going?I am writing in sincerity to ask for your guidance on an English drama performance.  We’ll put on the drama named The Million Pound Bank Note.Now,we can’t pronounce some words properly.Additionally,we can’t fully understand the qualities of the characters.So would you please spare some time to watch our performance and make some necessary changes?Besides,it would be better if you could help us correct our intonation.If it is convenient,may I pay you a visit at your office next Monday to discuss more details? I’d appreciate it if you offer to give us some professional advice.Looking forward to your early reply. Best regards! Yours truly,  Li Hua  Ⅶ.The next morning,John went directly to his mother after waking up.He said,“Mom,I heard about Mrs.Brown’s difficulty.I want to lend her the money I’ve saved for the gaming device.Her daughter’s education is more important.” His mother was touched by his generosity and praised him for his selflessness.Later,John explained his decision to Mrs.Brown.With the help of John and his family,Mrs.Brown managed to gather enough funds for her daughter’s school fees.The neighbors’ gratitude and smiles made John realize that helping others brings more joy than any material possession could.  Three months passed and finally it was John’s birthday.To his surprise,his parents and Mrs.Brown gathered to celebrate.Mrs.Brown presented John with a brand-new gaming device as a thank-you gift,saying,“Your kindness deserves a reward.” John was overjoyed,not just because he received the device,but because he understood the true meaning of giving.From then on,he continued to save,but this time,he also helped others whenever he could,knowing that small acts of kindness could make a big difference.  知识积累卡 一、1.普通的　2.文件　3.回答;响应 二、1.大学教育　2.把……分成……　3.收支相抵;勉强维持生计　4.对……负责　5.意外情况 三、1.人们相信,面额较大的纸币总计印刷了价值80亿英镑的量。 2.对一些人来说,将收入的20%存起来可能很困难,但为应对意外情况存些钱确实很有必要。 四、住在隔壁的布朗太太正为支付女儿的学费犯难,她问约翰的母亲能否借给她一些钱。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
