Section Ⅱ　“Reading and Thinking”的课文习读环节 [课时跟踪检测] (标语篇配有教师讲评课件)(对应课时跟踪检测P209) Ⅰ.阅读理解 A()　　 Last year as I faced my 33rd birthday, it seemed like a good time to sit down and make a list of financial goals.Some were instantly doable, like spending less on food.(Goodbye，$7 organic strawberries.) Others were more ambitious：save enough cash for a down payment on an apartment; build a savings account for fun grown－up stuff like buying last－minute plane tickets to Tahoe. One problem：These things required more money than I was making.The other problem：In this economy, it wasn't realistic to expect a huge raise.Suddenly, my future started to look like an ever－narrowing tunnel.Without a big increase in cash flow, how was my amazing life supposed to start? Obviously, I was doomed. I loved my job, I loved my boss, but I'd spent my 20 seconds closing up shop at the office every night when I knew I should have been playing harder and taking more risks.I'd built a career I was proud of, but realized I couldn't view a paycheck as my final reward. Finally, I made a decision.I'd give myself a happiness raise and bring into my life more of the good things that money can't buy (and that I'd been denying myself), and less of the stuff that didn't have much real value. The first step was to do a serious accounting, calculating where I'd been spending my time and energy and noting how much joy I was netting on a daily basis.The results didn't surprise me：so many have－tos and must－dos, so few moments of real enjoyment. I set a new rule：Anytime the word “should” flashed across my mind, I hit the brakes.Did I really want to attend this baby shower or join that book club? Often I didn't — so I respectfully said no, and found that the world didn't end. 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者33岁时反思自己生活的财务分配，发现问题后决定给生活做减法，把更多金钱买不到的好东西带进自己的生活。 1．Why did the author say goodbye to $7 organic strawberries? A．He was on a diet. B．He couldn't afford them. C．He didn't like them any more. D．He planned to cut down the food expense. 解析：选D　细节理解题。由第一段中的“Some were instantly doable, like spending less on food.(Goodbye，$7 organic strawberries.)”可知，作者对7美元的有机草莓说再见，是因为作者计划削减食品开支。故选D。 2．What was the difficulty with the author's ambitious financial goals? A．He was making little money. B．It was difficult for him to get promoted. C．He couldn't save more money for his amazing life. D．His future seemed like an ever－narrowing tunnel. 解析：选C　推理判断题。由第二段的内容可知，一方面，需要花的钱多于作者能挣的钱；另一方面，作者的工资不太可能会涨，故可推知作者再也攒不出更多的钱来过他那令人惊叹的生活了，这是作者要实现雄心勃勃的财务目标面对的困难。故选C。 3．According to the text, which can give the author more happiness? A．Joining a book club. B．Attending a baby shower. C．Buying last－minute plane tickets. D．Spending the weekends with his loved family. 解析：选D　推理判断题。由第四段中的“I'd give myself a happiness raise and bring into ...less of the stuff that didn't have much real value”和最后一段中的“Did I really want to ...I respectfully said no, and found that the world didn't end”可知，作者要把更多金钱买不到的好东西带进自己的生活，D项是金钱买不到的幸福，A项和B项是作者会拒绝的行动，C项没有太多真正价值，不符合作者提升幸福的想法。故选D。 4．What can we infer from the text? A．Birthday is a good time to set a goal. B．We need to learn to say no to something. C．The author celebrated his birthday by making financial goals. D．The author decided to make more money for his amazing life. 解析：选B　推理判断题。由第四段中的“I'd give myself a happiness raise and bring into ...less of the stuff that didn't have much real value”和最后一段可知，作者想让自己更幸福，并将少做一些没有真正价值的事，所以作者开始说“不”，由此可得出，要想生活幸福，就要学会对生活中不必要的事情说“不”。故选B。 B Andrew White brings his four－legged friends Oliver and Amore to his neighborhood Petco pet stores in San Diego for a little takeout.He has brought the pair to a kibble refill station (宠物食品补给站) that allows owners to use their own containers (容器)． “It's more affordable for everyone，” he said. Like the price of many things these days, the price of owning a pet has been increasing.A report on petfoodindustry.com finds the cost of feeding household animals was up about 6% in March over last year.The overall pet category saw a 7.5% increase compared to last March.The American Pet Products Association says a record D|S123.6 billion was spent in the US last year on pets.A survey shows 70% of American families now include a pet of some kind. In Kansas City, the KC Pet Project is seeing animals surrendered because of their owners' money problems.“It is sad to see a number of pets coming in through our doors，” said KC Pet Project Chief Communications Officer Tori Fugate.“People are calling us every week saying, ‘I don't want to leave my animal, but I can't find a place to live with it.’” One big cost is vet (兽医) care.The KC Pet Project gave out more than D|S96,000 last year to help owners with medical bills.Recent findings from Consumers' Checkbook show costs differed widely from vet to vet in seven cities they listed.So they say if pet owners want to save money, do some checking first.“If you know that your pets are going to need certain treatment, you can call around and get prices, and then decide what to do next，” said Consumers' Checkbook Executive Editor Kevin Brasler. In Florida, the Humane Society of Tampa Bay has increased its animal pantries (食品储藏室), so people can get free food for their dogs and cats. “I believe things will get better，” said Sherry Silk, CEO of the Humane Society of Tampa Bay.“It's got to get better because the animals really need us.” 语篇解读：本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是养宠物的费用在上涨这个现象。 5．What do the numbers in paragraph 3 mainly show? A．Keeping pets is still popular in the US. B．The costs for pets are rising in the US. C．Most Americans have difficulty keeping pets. D．Many Americans are careful about having pets. 解析：选B　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Like the price of many things these days ...D|S123.6 billion was spent in the US last year on pets.”可知，第三段中的数字主要说明了在美国，养宠物的费用正在上升。 6．What does the underlined word “surrendered” in paragraph 4 mean? A．Hunted for.　　　　B．Looked over. C．Given up. D．Handed out. 解析：选C　词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“because of their owners' money problems”和“It is sad to see a number of pets coming in through our doors”可知，画线词所在句子表示“在堪萨斯城，KC宠物项目看到一些动物因为主人的经济问题而被遗弃”。画线词surrendered的意思是“遗弃”，和given up意思相近。 7．What can pet owners do to treat their pets according to Kevin? A．Ask for medical prices first. B．Choose a big local pet hospital. C．Call the KC Pet Project for help. D．Get different vets to examine them. 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的“‘If you know that your pets are ... next，’ said Consumers' Checkbook Executive Editor Kevin Brasler.”可知，根据凯文的说法，宠物主人可以首先询问医疗价格。 8．What is Sherry's attitude to pets' future? A．Uncertain. B．Worried. C．Hopeful. D．Doubtful. 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容可知，雪莉对宠物的未来是充满希望的。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五 Teenagers earning money In the United States, you can only get a full－time job if you are 16 years old or older.But there are things that teenagers can do to earn some spending money.Here are a few ideas.
