I’ll do 12 , but I need that basket. I love that basket. Please, Mom. Please？” “You know,” she said, “if you save up, you could buy this 13 . ” And so our paying plan started. To get the basket, I 14 here and there. I washed the car, helped my mother make dinner, and so on. In fact, my mother bought the beautiful basket and hid it 15 in a place I couldn’t find. Each week I counted (数) the 16 I made. And then, weeks later, I counted, recounted and jumped 17 . Oh, happy day! I made it! I had enough money 18 . Days later the unbelievable thing happened. A neighborhood girl appeared with the 19 basket fixed to her shiny new bike. I rode hard and fast home to tell my mother about this disaster. “Honey, your basket is different from hers,” Mom said gently. “Your basket is special 20 you paid for it yourself. I think that is what it’s all about, and you are really great.” 11．A．father B．mother C．grandmother D．grandfather 12．A．something B．anything C．nothing D．none 13．A．myself B．yourself C．herself D．itself 14．A．worked B．played C．asked D．did 15．A．carefully B．easily C．freely D．clearly 16．A．books B．baskets C．things D．money 17．A．sadly B．excitedly C．luckily D．angrily 18．A．at least B．at all C．at last D．at most 19．A．same B．different C．similar D．strange 20．A．when B．before C．after D．because 【答案】11．B 12．B 13．B 14．A 15．A 16．D 17．B 18．C 19．A 20．D 【导语】本文讲述了一位母亲通过让孩子自己干活攒钱买车篮子的故事，教会孩子自力更生和努力付出的价值。 【详解】11．句意：如果我的妈妈没有把自行车车筐带入我的生活，我会成为完全不一样的人。 根据文章首句“Two things changed my life: my mother and a white bike basket.”可知，改变作者人生的是妈妈和车筐，此处填mother。 12．句意：我什么都愿意做，但我一定要那个车筐。 根据前文“I’ll do housework for as long as you say.”可知作者愿意做任何家务，anything表示“任何事”，符合语境，something用于肯定句，nothing、none不符合语境。 13．句意：如果你攒钱，你可以自己买下它。 本句是妈妈对“you”说的话，对应反身代词yourself；myself“我自己”，herself“她自己”，itself“它自己”，均不匹配对话主语you。 14．句意：为了买到车筐，我四处干活。 根据后文“I washed the car, helped my mother make dinner”可知作者到处干活赚钱，worked表示“干活”，符合语境；played“玩耍”，asked“询问”，did缺少宾语，均不符。 15．句意：事实上妈妈买下了这个漂亮车筐，小心地藏在了我找不到的地方。 carefully“小心地”，符合语境；easily“轻易地”，freely“自由地”，clearly“清晰地”，只有carefully能修饰藏东西的动作。 16．句意：每周我都会数自己赚到的钱。 根据上下文作者攒钱买车筐，此处数的是money“钱”；books“书”，baskets“车筐”，things“物品”，均不符合。 17．句意：几周后，我数了一遍又一遍，兴奋地跳了起来。 根据后文“Oh, happy day! I made it!”可知作者十分激动，excitedly“兴奋地”，符合语境；sadly“伤心地”，luckily“幸运地”，angrily“生气地”，均不符。 18．句意：我终于攒够钱了。 此处表达终于完成攒钱目标，at last“最终”，符合语境；at least“至少”，at all“根本”，at most“最多”。 19．句意：隔壁女孩骑着崭新的自行车，车上装着一模一样的车筐。 根据后文妈妈安慰“Your basket is different from hers”可知女孩的车筐和作者想要的是同一个款式，same“相同的”，符合语境；different“不同的”，similar“相似的”，strange“奇怪的”，不符。 20．句意：你的车筐是特别的，因为是你自己赚钱换来的。 前后两句存在因果关系，后半句是原因，because“因为”，符合语境；when“当……时”，before“在……之前”，after“在……之后”，逻辑不通。 三．阅读理解（50分） A Some of the most wonderful singers on the planet come from the songbird family, but many of them are in danger. The world would be quieter without these birds! Can we save them in time? Name: Javan Green Magpie (短尾绿鹊) Country: Indonesia The birds don’t just look beautiful. They have amazing singing skills, too! Unluckily,this has made them very popular with people who keep wild birds as pets. Now people keep them in zoos,so the world doesn’t lose them. Name: Florida Grasshopper Sparrow (佛罗里达蝗雀) Country: USA They love eating grasshoppers (蝗虫), and their songs make them sound like grasshoppers, too! They almost lost their home many years ago. But over the past few years, their population has probably risen. Name: Regent Honeyeater (王吸蜜鸟) Country: Australia Because there aren’t enough adult (成年的) birds around, young birds don’t always get the chance to learn the songs to attract (吸引) a mate (伴侣). So, scientists are teaching young birds how to sing. They put them in cages (笼子) close to singing adults before sending the young birds into the wild. Name: Blue-crowned Laughingthrush (靛冠噪鹛) Country: China These birds are named after one of their calls, which sounds like someone laughing! But now people can find them only in a few places. People are trying their best to help them. The more information we have on these birds, the better chances of saving them we get! 21．How do scientists teach young Regent Honeyeaters to sing? A．By keeping them in the zoo. B．By putting them close to singing adults. C．By sending them into the wild. D．By giving them nice food. 22．Which of the following not only looks beautiful but also sings well? A．The Regent Honeyeater. B．The Javan Green Magpie. C．The Blue-crowned Laughingthrush. D．The Florida Grasshopper Sparrow. 23．Where does the Blue-crowned Laughingthrush live? A．In America. B．In Australia. C．In China.

D．Natural World. 【答案】21．B 22．B 23．C 24．A 25．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了四种处境濒危的鸣禽，分别说明它们的分布地域、物种特点、现存生存危机以及对应的保护举措，呼吁大众关注濒危鸟类保护工作。 【详解】21．原文王吸蜜鸟板块写明“They put them in cages close to singing adults before sending the young birds into the wild.”，科学家会把幼鸟放置在正在鸣叫的成年鸟附近开展教学，对应B选项；动物园饲养、野化放生、投喂食物均不属于文中给出的教学手段。 22．短尾绿鹊的介绍文本标注“The birds don’t just look beautiful. They have amazing singing skills,too!”，符合外形美观、鸣叫声动听两项条件，选B，剩余鸟类没有同时具备两项描述。 23．靛冠噪鹛的产地一栏填写Country: China，它的栖息地在中国，锁定C选项。 24．佛罗里达蝗雀段落提及“But over the past few years, their population has probably risen.”，代表该鸟类种群数量有所增长，A表述成立；笑声般的鸣叫声、被当作宠物饲养分别对应靛冠噪鹛、短尾绿鹊的特征，蝗虫是它喜爱的食物，不代表它只进食蝗虫，B、C、D三项有误。 25．全文围绕野生鸟类、物种保育这类自然生物话题展开内容，适配报纸的“Natural World（自然世界）”栏目；体育、书籍趣味、校园生活三类栏目和文本主题不契合，答案选D。 B Money is important in our life, but it is not everything. Many teenagers get pocket money from their parents, but few know how to use it wisely. Sarah, a 14-year-old student, used to spend all her pocket money on snacks and toys. She never saved any money. Last year, her school held a fundraising activity to help children in poor areas. Sarah wanted to donate, but she had no money. She felt sorry and decided to change her spending habits. She started to make a budget every month. She divided her pocket money into three parts: one for daily needs, one for her dream tin, and one for donation. She also found that she could raise money by selling old books and toys online. “I used to think money was just for spending,” Sarah said. “Now I understand that managing money is a valuable life skill. When I help others with my money, I feel much happier than when I just buy things for myself.” Experts say that parents should teach children about money when they are young. Children who learn to save and share are more likely to become responsible adults. As the saying goes, “Money makes the world go round,” but it is how we use it that really matters. 26．What did Sarah use to do with her pocket money? A．She saved it in a bank. B．She spent it on snacks and toys. C．She donated it to poor children. D．She gave it to her parents. 27．Why did Sarah decide to change her habits? A．Because her parents asked her to. B．Because she wanted to buy a laptop. C．Because she couldn’t donate to help others. D．Because she lost all her money. 28．How does Sarah raise extra money now? A．By doing part-time jobs. B．By selling old books and toys online. C．By asking her parents for more. D．By joining online marathons. 29．What does Sarah think of managing money now? A．It is boring and difficult. B．It is a valuable life skill. C．It is useless for teenagers. D．It is only for wealthy people. 30．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Teenagers should not get pocket money. B．Saving money is more important than spending. C．Learning to manage money wisely is important. D．Parents should control all their children’s money. 【答案】26．B 27．C 28．B 29．B 30．C 【导语】本文讲述了14岁女孩Sarah从随意花钱到学会理财、帮助他人的转变，说明了明智管理金钱是一项重要的生活技能。 【详解】26．第二段明确指出：“Sarah... used to spend all her pocket money on snacks and toys.”说明Sarah过去把零花钱都花在零食和玩具上。 27．第二段指出：“Sarah wanted to donate, but she had no money. She felt sorry and decided to change her spending habits.”说明她因为没钱捐款帮助别人而决定改变消费习惯。 28．第三段明确指出：“she could raise money by selling old books and toys online.”说明Sarah现在通过在网上卖旧书和旧玩具来筹集额外资金。 29．第三段中Sarah说：“Now I understand that managing money is a valuable life skill.”说明她认为理财是一项有价值的生活技能。 30．全文讲述了Sarah从随意花钱到学会理财、帮助他人的转变，并通过专家的话说明学会理财的重要性，因此文章主旨是“学会明智地管理金钱很重要”。 C In October, someone in South Carolina won $1.5 billion. The nearly impossible odds (概率) of winning were 1 in 302. 5 million! Would this money actually make someone happy? The experiences of several lottery (抽奖) winners show that it probably wouldn’t. For example, William Post had only $2.46 in the bank when he won $16.2 million in a New York lottery in 1998. Within 3 months, he was poor again because of careless spending. He wasn’t as happy as he felt before winning the prize. Here is another example. Callie Rogers, a British teenager from a common family, won $3 million in 2003. She bought her family and friends lavish gifts and bought herself expensive clothes. After six years, Callie lost all her money and realized that money didn’t make her happy. In fact, she became worried that people were friendly with her only to get her money. Lottery winners are not the only ones who can end up unhappy. People who get big money for some other reasons, e. g. receiving money from others, are also at risk. They may not know how to deal with money. They waste money on things they don’t need. Researchers found that people are happy when they are able to pay for their basic needs, such as food, clothes, a safe place to live, and health care. People are also happy when they give reasonable (合理的) amounts of money to charities. People can hope and wish to suddenly come into lots of money to improve their lives, but perhaps there are better ways to find happiness. 31．How does the writer support his opinion in Paragraph 2? A．By giving an example. B．By asking a question. C．By telling the differences. D．By doing research. 32．What did William and Callie have in common according to the passage? A．They came from the same country. B．They won the lotteries in the same year. C．They were poor before winning the lotteries. D．They spent their money quickly and carelessly. 33．What does the underlined word “lavish” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Expensive. B．Funny. C．Surprising. D．Lucky. 34．Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? A．Big money brings lasting happiness. B．People’s lives depend on lottery prizes. C．Reasonable spending makes people happy. D．The basic needs of people are easily satisfied. 35．What’s the writer’s purpose of writing the text? A．To show his opinion about money and happiness. B．To advise people to stay away from lotteries. C．To encourage readers to make big money. D．To share some success stories about finding happiness. 【答案】31．A 32．D 33．A 34．C 35．A 【导语】本文是议论文，围绕“金钱能否带来幸福”展开，通过两位彩票得主挥霍钱财后失去快乐的事例论证暴富未必幸福，再说明满足基本生活需求、合理做慈善才能收获快乐，最后提出获取幸福有比一夜暴富更好的方式。 【详解】31．根据第二段中的关键句“For example, William Post had only $2. 46 in the bank...”可知，作者通过列举William Post的具体例子来支持“巨额奖金可能不会让人幸福”这一观点。 32．根据第二段“Within 3 months, he was poor again because of careless spending.”和第三段“She bought her family and friends lavish gifts... After six years, Callie lost all her money...”可知，William和Callie的共同点是他们都因挥霍无度而很快花光了奖金。 33．根据第三段画线词后的并列内容“and bought herself expensive clothes”可知，她给自己买昂贵的衣服，给家人朋友买的礼物也应该是昂贵的。因此“lavish”意为“昂贵的”。 34．根据第五段“Researchers found that people are happy when they are able to pay for their basic needs... People are also happy when they give reasonable amounts of money to charities.”可知，满足基本需求和合理支配金钱（如慈善捐赠）能让人感到幸福。 35．通读全文可知，文章通过彩票中奖者的案例，探讨了金钱与幸福之间的关系，指出巨额财富并不等同于幸福，并提出了获得幸福的更好方式。因此作者的写作目的是展示他对金钱与幸福的看法。 D At an early age, we start learning how to manage money by watching our parents’ spending habits. Don’t worry if we haven’t learned well how to save or spend money. The following life lessons about money can help us form good spending habits. Money doesn’t grow on trees. As kids, we don’t often think about where money comes from. We need to know that our parents work hard to make money, and that it may be used up one day. Going to their workplaces to watch how they work is a great way to understand money is not that easy to make. We shouldn’t spend all our money in one go. It’s important for us to have a budget (预算) . In other words, we need to think about how much money we have and what we really want to spend it on. Realizing that our pocket money can’t cover everything we want, we should make smart spending choices. We should set a clear goal and watch our money grow. If we wish to own a new bicycle but can’t afford it, we can save our pocket money. How? Write down how much money we have in a notebook and watch it grow. After we have enough, we can buy that wonderful bicycle we’ve dreamed about! Reaching our goal will greatly satiate (满足) us. We can talk with our parents about how money is used and where money goes. Do you know what a bank account (账户) is? If not, communicate with our parents. We can also go to the supermarket with our parents to experience how money is spent in the real world. Without doubt (怀疑) . we should treat money in a right way. Actually, learning about money isn’t a hard job. From these lessons, we can get a sense of money management and right money values step by step! 36．What is the key to making smart spending choices? A．Buying everything we want B．Planning before spending. C．Asking for more pocket money. D．Working hard like our parents. 37．What does the writer want kids to do by giving the example of buying a bicycle? A．Buy a wonderful notebook. B．Make a free spending choice. C．Set a goal of saving money. D．Have an experience of shopping. 38．What can we learn from the text? A．Achieving a savings goal is satisfying. B．Bank accounts are unnecessary for kids. C．Going shopping alone is a good idea. D．Parents should control all money. 39．What is the best title for the text? A．Causes of Spending Money B．Ways of Managing Money C．Purposes of Treating Money D．Conditions of Saving Money 40．The structure (结构) of the text is ________. (①= para. 1    ②= para. 2    ③= para. 3…) A． B． C． D． 【答案】36．B 37．C 38．A 39．B 40．A 【导语】本文开篇指出我们从小会模仿父母的消费习惯，随后分四段介绍四条理财生活经验，最后总结正确看待金钱、逐步培养理财观念的重要性。 【详解】36．根据文章第三段“It’s important for us to have a budget. In other words, we need to think about how much money we have and what we really want to spend it on. Realizing that our pocket money can’t cover everything we want, we should make smart spending choices.”，做好预算、消费前规划是理性消费的关键。 37．根据文章第四段“We should set a clear goal and watch our money grow. If we wish to own a new bicycle but can’t afford it, we can save our pocket money.”，作者举买自行车的例子，是为了告诉我们要设立存钱目标。 38．根据文章第四段“After we have enough, we can buy that wonderful bicycle we’ve dreamed about! Reaching our goal will greatly satiate us.”，完成储蓄目标会让人获得满足感。 39．全文围绕四条管理金钱的方法展开，核心主题是理财的方式。 40．文章第一段总起引出理财经验，第二至第五段并列介绍四条理财方法，第六段总结全文，属于总分总结构，总段①，分述②③④⑤，总结段⑥，对应图示A。 E 请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后根据短文内容从下面的七个选项中选择五个还原到原文中，使短文意思通顺、结构完整，并在答题卡上将其序号涂黑。一空一句。 Using Money in a Smart Way We all use money. But how can we use it in a good way? It means we make a plan and think before we spend. Make a Simple Plan First, make a plan for your money. For example, if you have 100 yuan, you can decide: • Use half (50 yuan) for important things, like a school book. • Use some (30 yuan) for fun things, like an ice cream or a movie. • Save the rest (20 yuan) for later, maybe for a big gift. 41 This way, you won’t run out of money too fast. Wait and Think If you see something you like but don’t really need, wait for one day. Do you still want it tomorrow? 42 This helps you not buy things too quickly and then feel sorry. Know What You Really Need • What you need: Things you must have, like food for lunch, a pen for school, or a warm coat in winter. • What you want: Things that are nice but not so important, like a new toy, candy, or cool stickers. 43 Smart kids always buy what they need first. Saving is Good Saving money means keeping some for the future. You can save for a new bike, a book you like, or to help someone. 44 So, saving a little money often is a good habit. Money is a tool (工具). 45 When we use it with a plan, it helps us live better now and makes our future better too. A．It gives you money to do something important in the future. B．This plan helps you know where your money goes. C．So, it’s important to know the difference between “needs” and “wants”. D．You can also share your money with your friends. E．This waiting time lets your “wanting” feeling become quieter and smaller. F．It is not just for buying things you see now. G．To get more money, you should work hard. 【答案】41．B 42．E 43．C 44．A 45．F 【导语】本文围绕“聪明用钱”展开，给出四条建议：制定简单计划、等待思考再消费、区分“需要”与“想要”、养成储蓄习惯；最后强调金钱是工具，需有计划地使用以改善当下和未来生活。 【详解】41．前文讲“制定100元的花钱计划（50元重要事、30元娱乐、20元储蓄）”，后文讲“这样不会很快花光钱”，B项“This plan helps you know where your money goes.”总结计划的作用，衔接前后文。 42．前文讲“看到喜欢但非必需的东西，等一天再决定”，后文讲“避免冲动消费后后悔”，E项“This waiting time lets your ‘wanting’ feeling become quieter and smaller.”解释等待的意义，衔接前后文的消费建议。 43．前文区分“需要”和“想要”，后文讲“聪明的孩子先买需要的”，C项“So, it’s important to know the difference between ‘needs’ and ‘wants’.”总结该段核心，衔接前后文的消费优先级。 44．前文讲“储蓄是为未来留钱”，后文讲“经常存点钱是好习惯”，A项“It gives you money to do something important in the future.”强调储蓄的价值，衔接前后文的储蓄建议。 45．前文讲“金钱是工具”，后文讲“有计划地使用能改善当下和未来”，F项“It is not just for buying things you see now.”拓展金钱的用途，呼应后文“未来”的价值，衔接逻辑。 四．语法填空（10分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。 “The Gift of the Magi” is a short story 46 the American writer O.

This is largely because of the food education carried out in Japanese schools, which is called “shokuiku”. The Japanese government made it a law in 2005 to make food education part of school education. The main purpose of school food education is to help students form healthy eating habits from a young age. It also teaches students about traditional Japanese food culture and the importance of food safety. Students learn where food comes from, how to cook simple dishes, and how to make balanced meal choices. Japanese schools have their own school lunch programs. Every day, students eat lunch together in their classrooms. The meals are carefully planned by nutritionists to be balanced and healthy. Students take turns serving lunch and cleaning up afterwards. This teaches them teamwork and respect for food. Besides school lunches, schools also offer hands-on food education activities. For example, students grow vegetables in school gardens and cook what they harvest. They also visit local farms to learn about farming. These activities help students understand the hard work that goes into producing food. Many people believe that Japanese food education is a successful model. It not only improves students’ health but also passes down traditional food culture. However, some people worry that the rules are too strict and leave little room for personal choice. Still, it gives us a good example of how schools can help students build healthy lifestyles.

Cats are very good at jumping. They can jump up to 6 times their own height. That's like a human jumping over a two-floor building! They have strong back legs, which help them jump high and land safely. Cats have a very special sense of smell. Their nose has more than 200 million smell cells, while humans only have 5 million. So they can smell things much better than us.

The world would be quieter without these birds! Can we save them in time? Name: Javan Green Magpie (短尾绿鹊) Country: Indonesia The birds don’t just look beautiful. They have amazing singing skills, too! Unluckily,this has made them very popular with people who keep wild birds as pets. Now people keep them in zoos,so the world doesn’t lose them. Name: Florida Grasshopper Sparrow (佛罗里达蝗雀) Country: USA They love eating grasshoppers (蝗虫), and their songs make them sound like grasshoppers, too! They almost lost their home many years ago. But over the past few years, their population has probably risen. Name: Regent Honeyeater (王吸蜜鸟) Country: Australia Because there aren’t enough adult (成年的) birds around, young birds don’t always get the chance to learn the songs to attract (吸引) a mate (伴侣). So, scientists are teaching young birds how to sing. They put them in cages (笼子) close to singing adults before sending the young birds into the wild. Name: Blue-crowned Laughingthrush (靛冠噪鹛) Country: China These birds are named after one of their calls, which sounds like someone laughing! But now people can find them only in a few places. People are trying their best to help them. The more information we have on these birds, the better chances of saving them we get! 21．How do scientists teach young Regent Honeyeaters to sing? A．By keeping them in the zoo. B．By putting them close to singing adults. C．By sending them into the wild. D．By giving them nice food. 22．Which of the following not only looks beautiful but also sings well? A．The Regent Honeyeater. B．The Javan Green Magpie. C．The Blue-crowned Laughingthrush. D．The Florida Grasshopper Sparrow. 23．Where does the Blue-crowned Laughingthrush live? A．In America. B．In Australia. C．In China.

D．It only likes eating grasshoppers. 25．In which section of a newspaper can we probably read the passage? A．Sports World. B．Book Fun. C．School Life. D．Natural World. B Money is important in our life, but it is not everything. Many teenagers get pocket money from their parents, but few know how to use it wisely. Sarah, a 14-year-old student, used to spend all her pocket money on snacks and toys. She never saved any money. Last year, her school held a fundraising activity to help children in poor areas. Sarah wanted to donate, but she had no money. She felt sorry and decided to change her spending habits. She started to make a budget every month. She divided her pocket money into three parts: one for daily needs, one for her dream tin, and one for donation. She also found that she could raise money by selling old books and toys online. “I used to think money was just for spending,” Sarah said. “Now I understand that managing money is a valuable life skill. When I help others with my money, I feel much happier than when I just buy things for myself.” Experts say that parents should teach children about money when they are young. Children who learn to save and share are more likely to become responsible adults. As the saying goes, “Money makes the world go round,” but it is how we use it that really matters. 26．What did Sarah use to do with her pocket money? A．She saved it in a bank. B．She spent it on snacks and toys. C．She donated it to poor children. D．She gave it to her parents. 27．Why did Sarah decide to change her habits? A．Because her parents asked her to. B．Because she wanted to buy a laptop. C．Because she couldn’t donate to help others. D．Because she lost all her money. 28．How does Sarah raise extra money now? A．By doing part-time jobs. B．By selling old books and toys online. C．By asking her parents for more. D．By joining online marathons. 29．What does Sarah think of managing money now? A．It is boring and difficult. B．It is a valuable life skill. C．It is useless for teenagers. D．It is only for wealthy people. 30．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Teenagers should not get pocket money. B．Saving money is more important than spending. C．Learning to manage money wisely is important. D．Parents should control all their children’s money. C In October, someone in South Carolina won $1.5 billion. The nearly impossible odds (概率) of winning were 1 in 302. 5 million! Would this money actually make someone happy? The experiences of several lottery (抽奖) winners show that it probably wouldn’t. For example, William Post had only $2.46 in the bank when he won $16.2 million in a New York lottery in 1998. Within 3 months, he was poor again because of careless spending. He wasn’t as happy as he felt before winning the prize. Here is another example. Callie Rogers, a British teenager from a common family, won $3 million in 2003. She bought her family and friends lavish gifts and bought herself expensive clothes. After six years, Callie lost all her money and realized that money didn’t make her happy. In fact, she became worried that people were friendly with her only to get her money. Lottery winners are not the only ones who can end up unhappy. People who get big money for some other reasons, e. g. receiving money from others, are also at risk. They may not know how to deal with money. They waste money on things they don’t need. Researchers found that people are happy when they are able to pay for their basic needs, such as food, clothes, a safe place to live, and health care. People are also happy when they give reasonable (合理的) amounts of money to charities. People can hope and wish to suddenly come into lots of money to improve their lives, but perhaps there are better ways to find happiness. 31．How does the writer support his opinion in Paragraph 2? A．By giving an example. B．By asking a question. C．By telling the differences. D．By doing research. 32．What did William and Callie have in common according to the passage? A．They came from the same country. B．They won the lotteries in the same year. C．They were poor before winning the lotteries. D．They spent their money quickly and carelessly. 33．What does the underlined word “lavish” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Expensive. B．Funny. C．Surprising. D．Lucky. 34．Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? A．Big money brings lasting happiness. B．People’s lives depend on lottery prizes. C．Reasonable spending makes people happy. D．The basic needs of people are easily satisfied. 35．What’s the writer’s purpose of writing the text? A．To show his opinion about money and happiness. B．To advise people to stay away from lotteries. C．To encourage readers to make big money. D．To share some success stories about finding happiness. D At an early age, we start learning how to manage money by watching our parents’ spending habits. Don’t worry if we haven’t learned well how to save or spend money. The following life lessons about money can help us form good spending habits. Money doesn’t grow on trees. As kids, we don’t often think about where money comes from. We need to know that our parents work hard to make money, and that it may be used up one day. Going to their workplaces to watch how they work is a great way to understand money is not that easy to make. We shouldn’t spend all our money in one go. It’s important for us to have a budget (预算) . In other words, we need to think about how much money we have and what we really want to spend it on. Realizing that our pocket money can’t cover everything we want, we should make smart spending choices. We should set a clear goal and watch our money grow. If we wish to own a new bicycle but can’t afford it, we can save our pocket money. How? Write down how much money we have in a notebook and watch it grow. After we have enough, we can buy that wonderful bicycle we’ve dreamed about! Reaching our goal will greatly satiate (满足) us. We can talk with our parents about how money is used and where money goes. Do you know what a bank account (账户) is? If not, communicate with our parents. We can also go to the supermarket with our parents to experience how money is spent in the real world. Without doubt (怀疑) . we should treat money in a right way. Actually, learning about money isn’t a hard job. From these lessons, we can get a sense of money management and right money values step by step! 36．What is the key to making smart spending choices? A．Buying everything we want B．Planning before spending. C．Asking for more pocket money. D．Working hard like our parents. 37．What does the writer want kids to do by giving the example of buying a bicycle? A．Buy a wonderful notebook. B．Make a free spending choice. C．Set a goal of saving money. D．Have an experience of shopping. 38．What can we learn from the text? A．Achieving a savings goal is satisfying. B．Bank accounts are unnecessary for kids. C．Going shopping alone is a good idea. D．Parents should control all money. 39．What is the best title for the text? A．Causes of Spending Money B．Ways of Managing Money C．Purposes of Treating Money D．Conditions of Saving Money 40．The structure (结构) of the text is ________. (①= para. 1    ②= para. 2    ③= para. 3…) A． B． C． D． E 请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后根据短文内容从下面的七个选项中选择五个还原到原文中，使短文意思通顺、结构完整，并在答题卡上将其序号涂黑。一空一句。 Using Money in a Smart Way We all use money. But how can we use it in a good way? It means we make a plan and think before we spend. Make a Simple Plan First, make a plan for your money. For example, if you have 100 yuan, you can decide: • Use half (50 yuan) for important things, like a school book. • Use some (30 yuan) for fun things, like an ice cream or a movie. • Save the rest (20 yuan) for later, maybe for a big gift. 41 This way, you won’t run out of money too fast. Wait and Think If you see something you like but don’t really need, wait for one day. Do you still want it tomorrow? 42 This helps you not buy things too quickly and then feel sorry. Know What You Really Need • What you need: Things you must have, like food for lunch, a pen for school, or a warm coat in winter. • What you want: Things that are nice but not so important, like a new toy, candy, or cool stickers. 43 Smart kids always buy what they need first. Saving is Good Saving money means keeping some for the future. You can save for a new bike, a book you like, or to help someone. 44 So, saving a little money often is a good habit. Money is a tool (工具). 45 When we use it with a plan, it helps us live better now and makes our future better too. A．It gives you money to do something important in the future. B．This plan helps you know where your money goes. C．So, it’s important to know the difference between “needs” and “wants”. D．You can also share your money with your friends. E．This waiting time lets your “wanting” feeling become quieter and smaller. F．It is not just for buying things you see now. G．To get more money, you should work hard. 四．语法填空（10分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。 “The Gift of the Magi” is a short story 46 the American writer O. Henry.

This is largely because of the food education carried out in Japanese schools, which is called “shokuiku”. The Japanese government made it a law in 2005 to make food education part of school education. The main purpose of school food education is to help students form healthy eating habits from a young age. It also teaches students about traditional Japanese food culture and the importance of food safety. Students learn where food comes from, how to cook simple dishes, and how to make balanced meal choices. Japanese schools have their own school lunch programs. Every day, students eat lunch together in their classrooms. The meals are carefully planned by nutritionists to be balanced and healthy. Students take turns serving lunch and cleaning up afterwards. This teaches them teamwork and respect for food. Besides school lunches, schools also offer hands-on food education activities. For example, students grow vegetables in school gardens and cook what they harvest. They also visit local farms to learn about farming. These activities help students understand the hard work that goes into producing food. Many people believe that Japanese food education is a successful model.
