It is not only a gift 1 also a symbol of good luck and wishes from elders to children. In the past, children received little money and often spent it 2 (quick) on snacks or firecrackers (鞭炮). However, with the 3 (improve) of living conditions, the amount of lucky money has increased a lot in recent years. This change makes it necessary for parents to teach their children how 4 (manage) the money properly. Some wise parents suggest that their children divide the money 5 three parts. The first part can be saved for future education. 6 second part can be used for buying books or learning materials. As for the third part, it is a good idea to spend it on meaningful 7 (activity), such as traveling or donating to those in need. There is a story about a boy.

If children can learn to use it in a responsible way, it will become 10 (they) first step in learning about financial management. 一、完形填空 Mathilde and her husband lived a comfortable life. 1 , she wasn’t happy.

Henry. I had never heard of it before, but it quickly became one of my favourite stories. The story is about a young couple, Della and Jim. They are very poor but love each other deeply. Della has beautiful long hair, and Jim has a gold watch that belonged to his father. On Christmas Eve, they both want to buy gifts for each other. Della sells her hair to buy a chain for Jim’s watch. Jim sells his watch to buy a set of combs for Della’s hair. In the end, their gifts are useless for each other, but their love is stronger than ever. What moved me most was the way they thought of each other first. They were willing to give up their most prized possessions for each other. This taught me that the value of a gift is not in its price, but in the love behind it. I think everyone should read this story. It reminds us that money is not the most important thing in life. True love and sacrifice are worth more than gold. 1．What did the writer think about “The Gift of the Magi”? A．It was boring. B．It was too long. C．It quickly became one of his favourite stories.

A．She didn’t like it anymore. B．She wanted to buy a gift for Jim. C．She needed money for food. D．Jim asked her to. 4．What did the writer learn from the story? A．Gifts should always be expensive. B．It is better to receive than to give. C．The love behind a gift is more important than its price. D．Poor people cannot be happy. 5．What is the main message of the story according to the writer? A．Money is the most important thing. B．True love and sacrifice are worth more than gold. C．Christmas is the best time of the year. D．People should never sell their possessions. B （2025·浙江温州二模） Smart Spending Smart spending is an important skill for teens. It helps them spend money wisely. What do teens spend money on? British teens spend £2,331 a year on average. Most of their money goes to clothing, food and video games. They often buy expensive clothing and fast food, but only use 2% of their money for books. How to spend money wisely? Set meaningful goals! Know what matters most, then it’s easy to choose how much to spend on things. For example, if you want an e-dictionary, stop buying a£1.50 cola every day. Saving that money helps get closer to your goal. Use the“24-Hour Rule”! Before buying something that is not really necessary, wait 24 hours. This gives you time to think if it’s worth the money. Often, you’ll realize you don't need it after all. Compare the prices! Always check the prices of the same product online first.Then you can find the best price. If you don’t need it right away, wait for sales. Don’t be fooled by ads! Don’t buy things just because of ads. Ads often make things look better than they are. Buy what you really need! 1．In which part of the e-book can we find the text? A．Saving Money. B．Making Money. C．Spending Money.

She wished she could get a new dress with frills (荷叶边) and lace (蕾丝) as a wonderful Christmas gift. But Ann did not want to ask her mom for that. She knew how hard her mom worked to make a living. Maybe she could make a wish — maybe Santa Claus (圣诞老人) would come... At school her classmates were talking only about Christmas celebrations. “My rich aunt is surely going to give me a pretty doll again,” said Ria. “I have been hinting (暗示) about that costly watch to my parents,” told Tessie. Ann felt out of these conversations. She had neither rich parents nor wealthy aunts to give her expensive gifts. It was not just the gift that worried Ann. It was her mother. Recently she was working overtime and looked pale and worn out. Soon it was Christmas Eve. In everyone’s house there was a decorated Christmas tree, but Ann’s house was cold and empty. Every child went to bed eagerly waiting for the lovely gifts. Ann went to bed, wishing that at least this time she would get a gift from Santa Claus. Ann slowly drifted off to sleep. She dreamed of Santa riding in the snow... The next morning Ann jumped up after hearing her alarm. Out of her expectation, there lay a beautiful packet tied with a red ribbon near her bed. Inside the package was a pretty white dress with fluffy frills and attractive lace! Ann checked the gift carefully to find out who had given her this beautiful dress. Suddenly a small piece of paper fell out from the dress. Dear Ann,This dress is gifted to you for being a good girl. Hope you continue to do good things and help your mother. Your Loving friend, Santa Claus Ann felt that there was something familiar about this note. She looked into the note carefully. Then it struck her. She realized that . Her mother had worked overtime to save money to buy this expensive gift. Ann was happy beyond words. She knew that she was the luckiest girl to have been given the best Christmas gift. 1．What did Ann want for Christmas? —————————————————————————————— 2．Why did Ann feel out of the conversations of her classmates? —————————————————————————————— 3．Ann was only worried about her Christmas gift, wasn’t she? —————————————————————————————— 4．How was Ann’s house different from other people’s houses on Christmas Eve? —————————————————————————————— 5．Complete the sentence in the last paragraph.

Filmed almost completely in the Chaoshan dialect (方言), this film has touched the hearts of millions. The grandmother, Shurou, waited for her husband Musheng for many years after he went to Southeast Asia. Her grandson Xiaowei traveled to Thailand hoping to find his missing grandpa. But the truth was that Musheng had died long ago. So who wrote loving letters and sent the money after his grandpa’s death? A woman named Nanzhi. She was Musheng’s trusted friend in Thailand. Knowing that Shurou and her three children would have a difficult life without support, Nanzhi decided to help them. For nearly 20 years, she wrote letters and sent money in Musheng’s name and asked for nothing in return. She never let anyone know the truth about Musheng’s death. In history, Chinese workers in Southeast Asia sent letters to their families left behind. These letters combined with money are called Qiaopi (侨批). They offered money as well as love and care. In 2013, they were added to UNESCO’s Memory of the World Register (《世界记忆名录》). At the end of the film, the old “Qiaopi” flashes on the screen. Each letter hits the heart. True love never fears the distance of mountains and seas. This is the real power that moves people across time and space. 1．Why did the grandson go to Thailand? A．To look for his missing grandfather. B．To travel and have fun in Thailand. C．To learn about local Thai culture and traditions. 2．What can we infer from the movie? A．Nanzhi was Shurou’s trusted friend in China. B．Nanzhi supported the family out of kindness. C．Shurou knew her husband’s death at the beginning. 3．What does Qiaopi probably mean? A．A kind of Chaoshan dialect. B．The memories of the hometown. C．Letters with money sent by overseas Chinese. 4．Which sentence best expresses the film’s main idea? A．Many hands make light work. B．A letter across the sea, a bridge for you and me. C．Travel far, never forget your friends. 二、完形填空 （2026·四川泸州·中考真题） My father taught me to be kind when I was a teenager. We would stop to help people whenever we had the 1 .

This change makes it necessary for parents to teach their children how 4 (manage) the money properly. Some wise parents suggest that their children divide the money 5 three parts. The first part can be saved for future education. 6 second part can be used for buying books or learning materials. As for the third part, it is a good idea to spend it on meaningful 7 (activity), such as traveling or donating to those in need. There is a story about a boy. After receiving his lucky money, he bought a warm scarf for his grandmother. The old lady was deeply moved. This story shows us that lucky money can 8 (use) to express love and care. It makes the tradition even more valuable. In a word, lucky money is 9 (much) than just money. It is part of our culture. If children can learn to use it in a responsible way, it will become 10 (they) first step in learning about financial management. 【答案】 1．but 2．quickly 3．improvement 4．to manage 5．into 6．The 7．activities 8．be used 9．more 10．their 【导语】本文介绍了中国春节红包的传统习俗，以及随着生活条件改善，家长引导孩子合理管理压岁钱的方式，阐述了压岁钱不仅是钱，更是文化的一部分。 【详解】1．句意：它不仅是一份礼物，也是长辈给孩子的好运和祝福的象征。根据“not only…also…”的固定搭配“not only…but also…”（不仅……而且……），故填but。 2．句意：过去，孩子们收到的钱很少，而且经常很快就把钱花在零食或鞭炮上。此处修饰动词“spent”，应用“quick”的副词形式“quickly”。 3．句意：然而，随着生活条件的改善，近年来压岁钱的数量增加了很多。根据“the+名词+of”的结构，此处应用“improve”的名词形式“improvement”。 4．句意：这种变化使得父母有必要教他们的孩子如何妥善管理这笔钱。根据“how to do sth.”（如何做某事）的结构，此处应用“manage”的不定式形式“to manage”。 5．句意：一些明智的父母建议他们的孩子把钱分成三部分。根据“divide…into…”（把……分成……）的固定搭配，故填into。 6．句意：第二部分可以用来买书或学习资料。根据“序数词前应用定冠词the”的规则，此处修饰“second”，故填The（句首首字母大写）。 7．句意：至于第三部分，把它花在有意义的活动上是个好主意，比如旅行或捐赠给需要帮助的人。根据“such as traveling or donating”可知，此处表示复数意义，“activity”的复数形式为“activities”。 8．句意：这个故事告诉我们，压岁钱可以用来表达爱和关心。根据“lucky money”与“use”的被动关系，且“can”后接动词原形，此处应用被动语态“be used”。 9．句意：总之，压岁钱不仅仅是钱。根据“more than just…”（不仅仅是……）的固定搭配，此处应用“much”的比较级“more”。 10．句意：如果孩子们能学会负责任地使用它，这将成为他们学习财务管理的第一步。根据“first step”前的限定词，此处应用“they”的形容词性物主代词“their”。 一、完形填空 Mathilde and her husband lived a comfortable life. 1 , she wasn’t happy.

Henry. I had never heard of it before, but it quickly became one of my favourite stories. The story is about a young couple, Della and Jim. They are very poor but love each other deeply. Della has beautiful long hair, and Jim has a gold watch that belonged to his father. On Christmas Eve, they both want to buy gifts for each other. Della sells her hair to buy a chain for Jim’s watch. Jim sells his watch to buy a set of combs for Della’s hair. In the end, their gifts are useless for each other, but their love is stronger than ever. What moved me most was the way they thought of each other first. They were willing to give up their most prized possessions for each other. This taught me that the value of a gift is not in its price, but in the love behind it. I think everyone should read this story. It reminds us that money is not the most important thing in life. True love and sacrifice are worth more than gold. 1．What did the writer think about “The Gift of the Magi”? A．It was boring. B．It was too long. C．It quickly became one of his favourite stories. D．It was difficult to understand. 2．What did Jim own that was special to him? A．Beautiful hair. B．A gold watch. C．A set of combs. D．A chain. 3．Why did Della sell her hair? A．She didn’t like it anymore. B．She wanted to buy a gift for Jim. C．She needed money for food. D．Jim asked her to. 4．What did the writer learn from the story? A．Gifts should always be expensive. B．It is better to receive than to give. C．The love behind a gift is more important than its price. D．Poor people cannot be happy. 5．What is the main message of the story according to the writer? A．Money is the most important thing. B．True love and sacrifice are worth more than gold. C．Christmas is the best time of the year. D．People should never sell their possessions. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．B 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文作者讲述阅读《麦琪的礼物》的读后感悟，介绍故事梗概并点明真爱与奉献比金钱更加珍贵。 【详解】1．原文第一段“I had never heard of it before, but it quickly became one of my favourite stories.”，由此可知，作者对这个故事的看法是它很快成为他最喜欢的故事之一。 2．原文第二段“Della has beautiful long hair, and Jim has a gold watch that belonged to his father.”，可知对Jim而言很特别的物品是一块金表。 3．原文第二段“On Christmas Eve, they both want to buy gifts for each other. Della sells her hair to buy a chain for Jim’s watch.”，说明Della卖掉头发是想要给Jim买礼物。 4．原文第三段“This taught me that the value of a gift is not in its price, but in the love behind it.”，作者从故事中学到的道理是礼物背后的爱比它的价格更重要。 5．原文第四段“It reminds us that money is not the most important thing in life. True love and sacrifice are worth more than gold.”，故事传递的主要主旨是真爱和牺牲比黄金更有价值。 B （2025·浙江温州二模） Smart Spending Smart spending is an important skill for teens. It helps them spend money wisely. What do teens spend money on? British teens spend £2,331 a year on average. Most of their money goes to clothing, food and video games. They often buy expensive clothing and fast food, but only use 2% of their money for books. How to spend money wisely? Set meaningful goals!

Often, you’ll realize you don't need it after all. Compare the prices! Always check the prices of the same product online first.Then you can find the best price. If you don’t need it right away, wait for sales. Don’t be fooled by ads! Don’t buy things just because of ads. Ads often make things look better than they are.

At school her classmates were talking only about Christmas celebrations. “My rich aunt is surely going to give me a pretty doll again,” said Ria. “I have been hinting (暗示) about that costly watch to my parents,” told Tessie. Ann felt out of these conversations. She had neither rich parents nor wealthy aunts to give her expensive gifts. It was not just the gift that worried Ann. It was her mother. Recently she was working overtime and looked pale and worn out. Soon it was Christmas Eve. In everyone’s house there was a decorated Christmas tree, but Ann’s house was cold and empty. Every child went to bed eagerly waiting for the lovely gifts. Ann went to bed, wishing that at least this time she would get a gift from Santa Claus. Ann slowly drifted off to sleep. She dreamed of Santa riding in the snow... The next morning Ann jumped up after hearing her alarm. Out of her expectation, there lay a beautiful packet tied with a red ribbon near her bed. Inside the package was a pretty white dress with fluffy frills and attractive lace! Ann checked the gift carefully to find out who had given her this beautiful dress. Suddenly a small piece of paper fell out from the dress. Dear Ann,This dress is gifted to you for being a good girl. Hope you continue to do good things and help your mother.

Filmed almost completely in the Chaoshan dialect (方言), this film has touched the hearts of millions. The grandmother, Shurou, waited for her husband Musheng for many years after he went to Southeast Asia. Her grandson Xiaowei traveled to Thailand hoping to find his missing grandpa. But the truth was that Musheng had died long ago. So who wrote loving letters and sent the money after his grandpa’s death? A woman named Nanzhi. She was Musheng’s trusted friend in Thailand. Knowing that Shurou and her three children would have a difficult life without support, Nanzhi decided to help them. For nearly 20 years, she wrote letters and sent money in Musheng’s name and asked for nothing in return. She never let anyone know the truth about Musheng’s death. In history, Chinese workers in Southeast Asia sent letters to their families left behind. These letters combined with money are called Qiaopi (侨批). They offered money as well as love and care. In 2013, they were added to UNESCO’s Memory of the World Register (《世界记忆名录》). At the end of the film, the old “Qiaopi” flashes on the screen. Each letter hits the heart. True love never fears the distance of mountains and seas. This is the real power that moves people across time and space. 1．Why did the grandson go to Thailand? A．To look for his missing grandfather. B．To travel and have fun in Thailand. C．To learn about local Thai culture and traditions. 2．What can we infer from the movie? A．Nanzhi was Shurou’s trusted friend in China. B．Nanzhi supported the family out of kindness. C．Shurou knew her husband’s death at the beginning. 3．What does Qiaopi probably mean? A．A kind of Chaoshan dialect. B．The memories of the hometown. C．Letters with money sent by overseas Chinese. 4．Which sentence best expresses the film’s main idea? A．Many hands make light work. B．A letter across the sea, a bridge for you and me. C．Travel far, never forget your friends. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文主要讲了孙子去泰国找爷爷，发现爷爷早已去世。一位叫南枝的好心人冒充爷爷，给家里写信寄钱，默默照顾了奶奶和孩子们近20年。这种“信款合一”的信件叫“侨批”，体现了跨越山海的真爱。 【详解】1．根据原文第二段“Her grandson Xiaowei traveled to Thailand hoping to find his missing grandpa.”，可知，孙子去泰国是为了寻找失踪的祖父。 2．根据第三段“Nanzhi decided to help them...asked for nothing in return.”可知，南枝决定帮助这一家且不求回报，说明她是出于善意（kindness）。 3．根据第四段“These letters combined with money are called Qiaopi...” 可知，“信+钱”就是侨批，对应选项C（海外华人寄的信和钱）。 4．根据最后一段“True love never fears the distance of mountains and seas.”可知，文章主旨是真爱跨越山海。选项B“一封跨海的信，是你我之间的桥”最符合这个意境. 二、完形填空 （2026·四川泸州·中考真题） My father taught me to be kind when I was a teenager.

After we changed the tire, the old man 3 his wallet and said, “Let me please pay you some money for your time and effort.” My father quickly put up his hands to 4 the money. “Just keep it,” he said, “We just do it when we are able to.” The old man and his wife thanked us 5 . We got back into our car and continued 6 . On the way, Dad told me, “Help others when you can. When money is 7 , you should not accept. And when you are in trouble, support will come to you naturally.” I asked, “What if they take the money?” Dad answered, “It’s 8 for them to get paid for what they have done. It is worth it.” I then asked why we didn’t take the money. He said, “We have already received more than enough by being able to give.” As an adult, I still do what Dad taught me.
