A. Choose the best answer(根据以下内容,选择最恰当的答案)(每题2分,共16分)
(A)
It’s useful to know how much money we usually spend on different things. Then, if we also know how much money we will have, we can decide which things we should buy now and which things we can go without or wait for.
Here is a student’s weekly budget (预算) during the school year.
Bus fares to class
$5
Movies
$6
Candy / Gum
$5
Soft drinks
$3
School lunches
$10
CDs
$10
Restaurants
$15
Computer games
$10
Total: $64
This student has only $50 a week to spend. Therefore, he must spend less on some things or not have them at all. If he wants to save on bus fares, he can walk to class. If he doesn’t buy any candy, he can save $5 a week. Or he can save $3 if he has no soft drinks. He can save on lunches if he brings his own.
He may be able to save on CDs by borrowing them from his friends or buying them second-hand. He doesn’t have to go to the movies or restaurants.
Different people need or want different things, so their budgets are different. Girls may not like computer games. They may want to spend more money on clothes or jewelry (珠宝).
For most of us, a weekly budget is only a little helpful. We really need to have a monthly budget, or even a yearly budget. This is because we have to pay for some things only once a month or once a year. Clothes, textbooks, vacations, and so on are not weekly expenses. They are monthly or yearly expenses.
24.The student’s budget is for ________.

From his flat, Pieter put his face close to the window. Below, the river shone like silver in the afternoon sun. Every Saturday, he watched for Grandpa riding towards the building on his bicycle. But today, Pieter knew his Grandpa wouldn’t come—he’d never hear the “ring-ring” of Grandpa’s bicycle bell, nor would they have their usual Saturday afternoon picnic in the park.
Last week, Grandpa fell over and his leg got badly hurt. And he needed a walking stick to walk. Pieter sighed (叹息), wondering if Grandpa would ever ride his bike again. The town looked beautiful. but he missed his Grandpa deeply. Just then, an idea came into his mind. He took his 10 dollars birthday money from the top drawer and then he hurried to tell Mum his plan.
Pieter ran down the stairs and rushed into the afternoon sunshine. He got on his bike, and rode down the road, his bell singing “ring-ring” to warn walkers. He passed the corner store, the window washer, and a bridge, saying “Hello” to a fishing girl and a little kid in a baby car.
Five minutes later, he reached the market he loved. Bright flowers, soft cakes, and colorful vegetables—red tomatoes, orange carrots, and more—filled the small shops. He breathed (呼吸) in the delicious smell.
Carefully, he spent his money on all of Grandpa’s favorites: fresh apples, a piece of Gouda cheese, a bag of bread, and some sunflowers tied to his bike. To each seller. he smiled and said, “Thanks!” just like Grandpa always did. As he rode back, Pieter looked forward to seeing Grandpa’s happy face when he saw the surprise, and he felt warm inside. His bicycle bell seemed to ring with a brighter sound, as if it knew: ______

A.He shared his plan with Mum. B.He took his 10 dollars birthday money.
C.He went to the market by bike. D.He bought some apples, flowers and cheese.
32.How did Pieter’s feeling change?
A.Unhappy→Excited→Warm B.Lonely→Interested→Calm
C.Nervous→Hopeful→Proud D.Happy→Surprised→Relaxed
33.Which of the following can be put into ______ in the last paragraph?
A.Today’s picnic might not be in the park, but it would be special.
B.He should turn around and go back to buy sweet cakes instead.

Shop online. Some of us don’t like running from store to store to get the best price on the perfect gift. Some of us don’t like to go out in the cold 38 , and then, we can do online shopping. The world of online shopping makes it possible for us to visit all the major retailers and some specialty stores on the Internet. We can find exactly what we are looking for at the best possible price without even having to leave the 39 . With traditional Christmas shopping, we will spend a long time waiting if we want to get the perfect gift.

C. Read the passage and answer the following questions.(每题2分,共12分)
阅读短文,回答问题。
I am Mari. I live in Flint, Michigan. About five years ago, our water began to smell funny. My family started getting really bad skin problems. My little sister needed special medicine. She wasn’t the only kid in Flint who got so sick. Some people suffered from bad headaches. Others had stomachaches.
Across the city, people complained that something was seriously wrong with their tap water. Our water was polluted. We couldn’t drink or cook with the water from our tap. We had to use bottled water for drinking, cooking, and brushing our teeth. The only safe way to take baths was to heat up water from bottles.
In 2015, when I was 8 years old, I decided to speak up for the people of Flint. I wrote a letter to then-President Barack Obama to ask him for help. In response, he came to speak with our community. I got to meet him. But I wanted to do more.
My friends and family helped me start a campaign (活动) for Flint. Our goal was to raise $15,000. So far, we’ve collected $280,000!
For the past few years, I’ve been giving out bottles of water and new water filters (过滤器) to people in my city. Many people in Flint still can’t use their tap water.
I’ve also used social media to ask people around the world for help. I have more than 100,000 followers on the Internet, including famous people and regular people from different countries.
Most people now know me as Little Miss Flint. I’m proud that I am able to help my neighbors get clean water. I’ll continue until every single Flint citizen feels safe drinking the water from their taps. I also want people to realize that Flint isn’t the only place with water issues. It’s important for us all to ask questions about what’s in the water at school and at home.
My goal is to run for U.S. president in 2044—as soon as I’m old enough. But you don’t have to be an adult to change the world. It starts with helping out in your own community. You have a voice and the ability to make that voice heard. Don’t let anyone stop you.
Task 1 Answer the questions. (根据短文内容回答问题。)
40.Mari’s little sister wasn’t the only kid in Flint who got so sick, was she?
41.Why couldn’t people in Flint drink or cook with the water from their tap?

43.How do Mari and her team help people in Flint with the money they have raised?
44.According to the passage, what are the things that Mari is now working on? (list 2 things)

Different people need or want different things, so their budgets are different. Girls may not like computer games. They may want to spend more money on clothes or jewelry (珠宝).
For most of us, a weekly budget is only a little helpful. We really need to have a monthly budget, or even a yearly budget. This is because we have to pay for some things only once a month or once a year. Clothes, textbooks, vacations, and so on are not weekly expenses. They are monthly or yearly expenses.
24.The student’s budget is for ________.
A.seven days B.thirty days C.one term D.one year
25.Using a monthly instead of a weekly budget, you can see ________.
A.less money B.things you don’t buy all the time

【答案】24.A 25.B 26.A 27.A 28.C 29.D
【导语】本文主要通过一个学生的周预算来告诉我们制定资金计划非常重要。
24.细节理解题。根据文章表格上方“Here is a student’s weekly budget (预算) during the school year.”可知,这个预算是每周的,因此是为七天制定的。故选A。
25.细节理解题。根据最后一段“We really need to have a monthly budget, or even a yearly budget. This is because we have to pay for some things only once a month or once a year. Clothes, textbooks, vacations, and so on are not weekly expenses. They are monthly or yearly expenses.” 可知,月度预算可以让你看到那些不常买的东西的开销。故选B。
26.细节理解题。根据文中表格,“School lunches”一项的花费为每周$10。若不购买学校午餐,则每周可节省$10。一个月通常按4周计算,因此一个月可节省$10 × 4 = $40。选项中A符合计算结果。故选A。
27.词句猜测题。根据“If he doesn’t buy any candy, he can save $5 a week.”可知,提到学生可以节省糖果、软饮料等零食开支,若不买糖果可省$5, “not eat snacks at all”意为“根本不吃零食”,强调完全不吃,与A“not even one(一点也不)”意思相符。故选A。
28.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Girls may not like computer games. They may want to spend more money on clothes or jewelry (珠宝).”可知,女孩可能更愿意在衣服或珠宝上花钱,选项中只有C“clothes”符合。故选C。
29.最佳标题题。全文围绕学生的预算展开,介绍了预算的重要性、如何调整预算以及不同人的预算差异,因此最适合的标题是“A Budget”表示“预算”。故选D。

From his flat, Pieter put his face close to the window. Below, the river shone like silver in the afternoon sun. Every Saturday, he watched for Grandpa riding towards the building on his bicycle. But today, Pieter knew his Grandpa wouldn’t come—he’d never hear the “ring-ring” of Grandpa’s bicycle bell, nor would they have their usual Saturday afternoon picnic in the park.
Last week, Grandpa fell over and his leg got badly hurt. And he needed a walking stick to walk. Pieter sighed (叹息), wondering if Grandpa would ever ride his bike again. The town looked beautiful. but he missed his Grandpa deeply. Just then, an idea came into his mind. He took his 10 dollars birthday money from the top drawer and then he hurried to tell Mum his plan.
Pieter ran down the stairs and rushed into the afternoon sunshine. He got on his bike, and rode down the road, his bell singing “ring-ring” to warn walkers. He passed the corner store, the window washer, and a bridge, saying “Hello” to a fishing girl and a little kid in a baby car.
Five minutes later, he reached the market he loved. Bright flowers, soft cakes, and colorful vegetables—red tomatoes, orange carrots, and more—filled the small shops. He breathed (呼吸) in the delicious smell.
Carefully, he spent his money on all of Grandpa’s favorites: fresh apples, a piece of Gouda cheese, a bag of bread, and some sunflowers tied to his bike. To each seller. he smiled and said, “Thanks!” just like Grandpa always did. As he rode back, Pieter looked forward to seeing Grandpa’s happy face when he saw the surprise, and he felt warm inside.

This concern (忧虑) is becoming greater and greater these days. Even so, there are several things that you can do to help.
Hit the sales. No one wants to get up at four o’clock in the morning and fight to get a good deal on Black Friday (the Friday after Thanksgiving, which marks the start of the Christmas shopping season). It’s surely very 35 to pick up the courage and get out there in the cold for a good deal. Some stores offer Black Friday specials online, so we may still be able to get a great deal on Black Friday.
Read advertisements 36 . Once the Christmas shopping season comes, retailers will be hungry for business. They will try their best to get us into the store. Please read the weekly sales advertisements from major retailers from time to time. We may be 37 enough to find different prices for the same thing in different shops.
Shop online. Some of us don’t like running from store to store to get the best price on the perfect gift. Some of us don’t like to go out in the cold 38 , and then, we can do online shopping. The world of online shopping makes it possible for us to visit all the major retailers and some specialty stores on the Internet. We can find exactly what we are looking for at the best possible price without even having to leave the 39 .

C. Read the passage and answer the following questions.(每题2分,共12分)
阅读短文,回答问题。
I am Mari. I live in Flint, Michigan. About five years ago, our water began to smell funny. My family started getting really bad skin problems. My little sister needed special medicine. She wasn’t the only kid in Flint who got so sick. Some people suffered from bad headaches. Others had stomachaches.
Across the city, people complained that something was seriously wrong with their tap water. Our water was polluted. We couldn’t drink or cook with the water from our tap. We had to use bottled water for drinking, cooking, and brushing our teeth. The only safe way to take baths was to heat up water from bottles.
In 2015, when I was 8 years old, I decided to speak up for the people of Flint. I wrote a letter to then-President Barack Obama to ask him for help. In response, he came to speak with our community. I got to meet him. But I wanted to do more.
My friends and family helped me start a campaign (活动) for Flint. Our goal was to raise $15,000. So far, we’ve collected $280,000!
For the past few years, I’ve been giving out bottles of water and new water filters (过滤器) to people in my city. Many people in Flint still can’t use their tap water.
I’ve also used social media to ask people around the world for help. I have more than 100,000 followers on the Internet, including famous people and regular people from different countries.
Most people now know me as Little Miss Flint. I’m proud that I am able to help my neighbors get clean water. I’ll continue until every single Flint citizen feels safe drinking the water from their taps. I also want people to realize that Flint isn’t the only place with water issues. It’s important for us all to ask questions about what’s in the water at school and at home.
My goal is to run for U.S. president in 2044—as soon as I’m old enough. But you don’t have to be an adult to change the world. It starts with helping out in your own community. You have a voice and the ability to make that voice heard. Don’t let anyone stop you.

Dear Xiao Ming,
I'm glad to hear that you can get pocket money by doing housework. It’s a good way to learn responsibility.
Here is my advice. You can save part of the money, buy some useful school things, and use a little for fun. Don’t spend it all on snacks.
I advise you to use a money jar or a notebook. It helps you record your spending and develop good habits.
Yours,
Li Hua
