The passage says it is surprising that most Chinese are using smartphones to 1 everything. There are two reasons why mobile payment is 2 spreading in China. First, it’s convenient. Second, China only has a short history of using bank cards, so it 3 people more open to new technology. After reading the passage, Mary from America decided to 4 mobile payment in Beijing. “To see how far I could go in Beijing without a 5 , I spent a day only with my smartphone,” said Mary. “A beautiful day started with a great breakfast. I bought a Jianbing. No cash? It didn’t matter, 6 my smartphone worked just fine. The shop owner showed me his QR code (二维码), and I gave 6 yuan to him.” “When it came to transportation, I 7 a car through a taxi-hailing (打车) app. There were also shared bikes almost everywhere. I could use these 8 by scanning (扫描) a QR code. I have to say that cash is becoming a thing of the 9 ,” Mary said. Another foreigner called Michael Kahlenhauser says, “I live in China and even a week without using paper money is 10 . The West is left behind in terms of mobile payment and I suggest they copy what’s happening in China.” 1. A．search for B．pay for C．call for 2. A．suddenly B．directly C．quickly 3.

Even when something appears to be free, there is almost always a hidden cost. For example, when a store offers a “free” gift, you might need to buy 2 product first. Or, if a friend treats you to lunch, you may feel like you 3 return the favour someday. This idea is especially important when it comes to money. People work hard to earn money — 4 studying, training, and doing their jobs every day. They then use that money to 5 necessities like food, housing, education, and healthcare. So 6 an advertisement claims something is ‘free’, it’s wise to ask: Who is actually paying for it? Often, companies offer free samples or trials 7 attract customers. In return, they may collect your contact 8 or convince you to buy more later. Understanding that there’s no free lunch helps us become smarter about spending and saving. It teaches us to read the fine print, compare prices, and avoid deals that sound too good to be true. Money is valuable because it represents time and effort. Learning to use it 9 from a young age can lead to a more secure and independent future. Remember: if something seems free, look closer—there’s usually a price tag 10 somewhere. 1.

Passage 4 Julia and her cousins visited their grandparents every month. Each time, their grandpa gave them some coins. The kids usually rushed to buy sweets with the money. One day, Grandpa called all the children together and said, “Let’s have a money-management competition. Tell me how you’ve used your coins at the end of the year.” Ruben and Nico, the youngest two, kept buying sweets with all their money. They often showed off their sweets, which made Clara and Joe angry. Soon, Clara and Joe stopped saving and started spending like Ruben and Nico. Monty was a smart boy. He thought of making money by buying and selling small things. With little effort, he earned a lot quickly. But he then began to buy expensive things for himself. In a few months, he had no money left at all. Alex saved every coin he got. By the end of the year, he had more money than anyone else and seemed to be the winner. Julia, however, had no money left on the competition day. She had spent all her coins on violin lessons. She knew a poor violinist who played in the park. Julia offered him all her coins to learn the violin. The violinist was moved by her enthusiasm and agreed to teach her. After a year, he lent Julia a violin, and they played together in the park.

C．Showing off wealth is a bad habit. D．It’s useless to make money by buying and selling things. Passage 5 The History of Chinese Currency Have you ever thought about how people paid for things a long time ago? In ancient China, people did not use paper money or coins like we do now. At first, they used shells as money. Shells were small, easy to carry and everyone accepted them. Many Chinese characters related to money, like “buy” (买) and “sell” (卖), have the “bei” (贝) part in them. This tells us how important shells were in old times. Later, people began to make metal money. Some of these metal coins were in the shape of knives or spades. They were heavy but they lasted a long time. In 221 BCE, Qin Shi Huang unified China. He also made the currency unified. He created round coins with a square hole in the center. These coins looked nice and were easy to count. After that, this kind of round coin became the main form of currency in China for over 2,000 years. The world’s first paper money appeared in China during the Song Dynasty. It was called “jiaozi”. Paper money was light and easy to carry. It made trade much more convenient. Merchants could take it with them when they traveled to different places to do business. Today, we use digital currency and credit cards more and more often. We hardly use paper money now. But the history of Chinese currency tells us a lot about how Chinese society has developed over time. Visiting a history museum is a great way to learn more about the interesting stories behind old currency. 1. What did ancient Chinese people use as money at first? A．Metal coins. B．Shells. C．Paper money. D．Digital currency. 2. Why did Qin Shi Huang create round coins with a square hole? A．Because they were the first paper money in the world. B．Because they were heavy and lasted long. C．Because he wanted to unify the currency of China. D．Because merchants could carry them easily. 3. When did the world’s first paper money appear? A．In 221 BCE. B．During the Song Dynasty. C．During the Qin Dynasty. D．A long time ago. 4. What is the advantage of paper money according to the passage? A．It was small and easy to carry. B．It was heavy but lasted a long time. C．It was light and easy to carry. D．It was the main form of currency for 2,000 years. 5. What can we learn from the history of Chinese currency? A．How Chinese society distributes money. B．How Chinese society has developed. C．Data about the world’s first currency. D．The best way to do business. Passage 6 In many places like Peru, China, and West Africa, prices are not always fixed (固定的). When buying goods, people often haggle (讨价还价) to get a better price. If you are new to this, here are some tips. Be brave. Before shopping, ask locals (当地人) if haggling is normal. 1 And you should also know when to stop. In a fair deal, the seller can make some money, and you can be happy, too. Shop around. Don’t buy too quickly. 2 If the price is not what you want, check the side streets. Sometimes these places have better prices. 3 A little money might not mean much to you, but it can mean a lot to many sellers. Many sellers make handmade products (产品), and your money helps their families. Reach a fair price. First, ask the price and then the discount (折扣). Suggest a lower price with smile. Then you can work together from there. The price usually meets somewhere in between. 4 Say “No, thanks.” There’s no need to give more if your price is fair enough. Be ready to walk away. 5 The seller might call you back. Haggling is not just about money. It’s all a game and kindness helps you get a better price and makes haggling fun. A．Compare before you shop. B．Don’t fight over small money. C．Sometimes this gets you a better price. D．Once you arrive at the market, don’t be shy. E．Too low upsets the other while too high wastes money. Passage 7 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，是短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。 Money may not buy happiness, but it helps. Many teenagers want to learn how to manage (管理) money before going out into the world. Be smart with your money. This idea is raised by Dr. Mara Harvey, a money expert. 1     Learn to make money. Ask parents or neighbors if you can do chores (家务) to make pocket money. 2 In this way, you can improve your communication skills, which will help when you have a grown-up job. Help your money grow. Money can't grow if it's sitting inside a piggy bank. 3 Save your money in the long run. One day you may feel surprised at how much money you have. Make a plan. If you have a big event, such as a holiday coming up, it might mean you will need to spend more of your pocket money. Try making a plan for spending and saving. 4 Then it will help you take control of your money. 5 Figure out how much you can reasonably spend each month. Spend your money on what you truly need. Then try to cut down on spending. For example, instead of eating out, you can choose to cook at home. A．Spend your money wisely. B．The following are some of her tips. C．Write down how much money you have and what you are spending. D．Put your money in the bank and you can get interest (利息).

Many parents give their children pocket money each week and allow them 1 (spend) it as they wish. Other parents don’t think it’s wise to do so. They think children should be taught that money doesn’t grow on trees and that 2 they need it, they have to do something to get it. So, some parents expect their children to make money 3 doing chores like washing the dishes or cleaning the house. And some parents even encourage their children to take on part-time jobs. Children usually spend all their money. Some parents encourage their children to save (存储) some in their own bank account. Then they can pay for their favorite things 4 (them). Pocket money actually has 5 big influence on children. It teaches them to develop good spending and saving habits. It 6 (educate) them important skills and values (价值观). Children understand that money is not unlimited (无限制的), then they will learn how to spend or save their money 7 (wise). They practice planning and making 8 (choice). They also learn more math skills through 9 (manage) money. Pocket money helps children become 10 (independent) as they get older. Passage 9 Money is an important part of our daily life. It helps us buy things we need and enjoy the life we want. But do you know how money 1 (develop) over time? Thousands of years ago, people didn’t use paper money. They 2 (trade) goods with each other. For example, they might exchange rice for cloth. Later, people began to use shells as money because they were small and easy 3 (carry). As time went by, metal coins appeared. They were stronger and could be kept for a longer time. The first paper money started in China during the Song Dynasty. It was lighter than coins, so it made trade much 4 (convenient). Today, digital money is becoming more and more popular. We can pay for things just by 5 (use) our phones. We don’t need to take paper money with us 6 all. But we must remember that money is not everything. We should use it 7 (wise) and responsibly. Some people donate money to help those in need. They believe that giving brings more happiness than 8 (receive). Others save money for their future, such as going to college or travelling around the world. 9 is important to have a right attitude towards money. It can help us live a better life 10 we know how to use it well. Passage 10 阅读短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或用括号内所给词的正确形式填空，使短文通顺、连贯。 Labubu is not just an ordinary toy; it 1 (win) the hearts of people around the world so far. With its big, round eyes and a naughty smile, Labubu has a unique (独一无二的) and cute look that 2 (easy) catches people’s attention. The 3 (one) time you see it, you’ll probably be drawn in by its charming (魅力) look. This little character was created by 4 artist.

In ancient China, people did not use paper money or coins like we do now. At first, they used shells as money. Shells were small, easy to carry and everyone accepted them. Many Chinese characters related to money, like “buy” (买) and “sell” (卖), have the “bei” (贝) part in them. This tells us how important shells were in old times. Later, people began to make metal money. Some of these metal coins were in the shape of knives or spades. They were heavy but they lasted a long time. In 221 BCE, Qin Shi Huang unified China. He also made the currency unified. He created round coins with a square hole in the center. These coins looked nice and were easy to count. After that, this kind of round coin became the main form of currency in China for over 2,000 years. The world’s first paper money appeared in China during the Song Dynasty. It was called “jiaozi”. Paper money was light and easy to carry. It made trade much more convenient. Merchants could take it with them when they traveled to different places to do business. Today, we use digital currency and credit cards more and more often. We hardly use paper money now. But the history of Chinese currency tells us a lot about how Chinese society has developed over time. Visiting a history museum is a great way to learn more about the interesting stories behind old currency. 1. What did ancient Chinese people use as money at first? A．Metal coins. B．Shells. C．Paper money. D．Digital currency. 2. Why did Qin Shi Huang create round coins with a square hole? A．Because they were the first paper money in the world. B．Because they were heavy and lasted long. C．Because he wanted to unify the currency of China. D．Because merchants could carry them easily. 3. When did the world’s first paper money appear? A．In 221 BCE. B．During the Song Dynasty. C．During the Qin Dynasty. D．A long time ago. 4. What is the advantage of paper money according to the passage? A．It was small and easy to carry. B．It was heavy but lasted a long time. C．It was light and easy to carry. D．It was the main form of currency for 2,000 years. 5. What can we learn from the history of Chinese currency? A．How Chinese society distributes money.
