Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance. The purpose is to let children learn from experience at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly.
The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family. Timing is another consideration. Some children get a weekly allowance. Others get a monthly allowance.
In any case, parents should make clear what, if anything, the child is expected to pay for with the money.
At first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it. If they do this, they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget. Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance.
The object is to show young people that a budget demands choices between spending and saving. Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs, like clothing or electronics.
Many people who have written on the subject of allowances say it is not a good idea to pay your child for working around the home. These jobs are a normal part of family life.
Paying children to do extra work around the house, however, can be useful. It can even provide an understanding of how a business works.
Allowances give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with money. They can share it in the form of gifts or giving it to a good cause. They can spend it by buying things they want. Or they can save it.
1. What is special about children learning financial management by experience
A. They learn more quickly.
B. They are not likely to make mistakes.
C. Their mistakes won’t matter so much.
D. They have plans made by their parents.
2. When the writer says some young children “will learn the hard way that. . . ” in Para. 4, he means______.
A. they will know how hard it is to learn budget
B. they will have an easy time learning the lesson
C. what they will learn is absolutely true
D. their parents will teach them a hard lesson
3. Judging from the article, it is all right if a couple give their son an allowance______.
A. regularly twice every month
B. whenever he has run out of money
C. telling him to ask for permission before spending
D. without telling him what to spend on
4. The writer would agree to encourage the kids to ______to deal with a tight budget.
A. borrow money from others
B. ask their parents for more money
C. get paid for their household routines
D. earn money by extra work
B
When my best friend and I were teenagers, we two had favourite past time. Our favourite place to hang out was the Hallmark store. If we had the money, we would choose the perfect card for each other and then share tears or smiles depending on what emotion the words motivated. In those coming of years we developed a friendship built on sincere feelings and we often found comfort in the words of a Hallmark card. I think it is perhaps because of those years that I have become a greeting card collector.
The other day, while cleaning out the storage in our home, I came across the bag that I have kept greeting cards. They are the lasting messages that speak the meanings of my life. I pull out a foolish looking card. It has a stick figure on the front that seems to be drawn in my portrait. I giggled as I realized this was exactly how my oldest daughter saw her mum. Opening it up I saw a hand drawn heart with eyes and a big smile. On the other side are some words “You are the best mum in the world! ” This may be one card that Hallmark cannot compete with for it is a treasure more precious than gold. I can’t go back to where I’ve been but, from time to time, I can be taken into a welcomed memory trip.
These are the Hallmark moments of our lives. Words from once upon a time that inspire us to appreciate the people in our lives who mean so much. When we sometimes have doubts, or when the world deals us unfair blows, the encouraging words are there in black and white, sometimes drawn as in a homemade stick figure with a heart shaped smiley face standing out from the rest of the pile.
Life is a Hallmark card when you care enough to send the very best.
5. What influence does the Hallmark card have on the author
A. Finding her real hobby.
B. Becoming a greeting card collector.
C. Getting real friendship and comfort.
D. Sharing the experience of life with friends.
6. The author uses “a welcomed memory trip” in Paragraph 2 to show that______.
A. she often remembers her past
B. those cards are very precious for her
C. her daughter’s words move her deeply
D. drawing herself on the cards is very meaningful
7. Why does the author think the words on the cards mean a lot
A. Because they make her fill with gratitude.
B. Because they are written in different colors.
C. Because they can help her overcome doubts.
D. Because they always give her encouragement.
8. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage
A. Words on the cards
B. Collect greeting cards
C. Life is a Hallmark Card
D. Memory in the childhood

The Buy Nothing Movement
Social media, magazines and shop windows bombard(猛轰)people daily with things to buy, and British consumers are buying more clothes than ever before. The average person spends more than ￡1, 000 on new clothes a year, which might not sound like much. 1 A lot of consumer spending is by means of credit cards. British people currently owe about ￡670 per adult to credit card companies. Also, people are spending money they haven’t earned to buy things they don’t need. Britain throws away 300, 000 tons of clothing a year, most of which goes into landfill(垃圾填埋地)sites.
2 But charity shops can’t sell all those unwanted clothes. A lot of clothes that charities can’t sell are sent abroad, causing even more economic and environmental problems.
3 The idea originated in Canada in the early 1990s and then moved to the US. On Buy Nothing Day people organise various types of protests and cut up their credit cards. Throughout the year, Buy Nothing groups organise the exchange and repair of items they already own.
The trend has now reached influencers on social media which now encourage their viewers not to buy anything at all for periods as long as a year. Two friends in Canada spent a year working towards buying only food. For the first three months they learned how to live without buying electrical goods, clothes or things for the house. For the next stage, they gave up services, for example, haircuts, eating out or buying petrol for their cars. 4
The changes they made meant two fewer cars on the roads, a reduction in plastic and paper packaging and a positive impact on the environment from all the energy saved. 5 But even if you can’t manage a full year without going shopping, you can participate in the anti-consumerist movement by refusing to buy things you don’t need.
A. In one year, they’d saved $55, 000.
B. If everyone followed a similar plan, the results would be impressive.
C. Online shopping means it is easy for customers to buy without thinking.
D. Second-hand clothes are often of too poor quality to recycle in charity shops.
E. But that figure hides two far more worrying trends for society and for the environment
F. However, a different trend arises in opposition to consumerism—the ‘buy nothing’ trend.
G. People might not realise the problems because they donate their unwanted clothes to charities.

Want to pick up that new best-seller for your flight, but not sure you want to spend the money
This will change your mind. If you’ve done a lot of traveling, you’ve probably noticed that the bookstores at airports all look pretty similar. They’ve all got familiar logos, the walls of inviting plane snacks, and, of course, the towers of new hardcover books. Chances are you’ve wanted to grab one of those books for the plane ride. However, those hardcover books are a little pricey. Is it worth it to splurge, just to relieve the midair boredom
Yes it is—because of a cool program that these bookstores have in place. These similar airport stores are all owned by the company Paradies Lagardère, and all of those stores take part in what’s called the “Read and Return” program. It’s exactly what it sounds like. Whenever you buy one of those books, you’ve got six months to finish it and bring it back to the same, or another, Paradies Lagardère location. When you do that, you get half your money for the original purchase back.
If you’re going on a trip, buy that book you’ve been dying to read. When you go back to the airport for the return trip, bring the book back with you and get half the money back. While you’re still in the bookstore, go ahead and get that other book you’ve been dying to read or the sequel to the book you read on the way there. Either way, your boredom on the flight back will be cured. And it gets better: the book you gave back will be re-sold for half price! Here’s what you can get for free at an airport.
There are two things you do need to make sure of. You have to bring back the receipt to get your money back. Also, the book needs to be in decent condition. But other than that, this program couldn’t be easier. In a way, it’s like a buy-one-get-one-half-off deal for books. Or get two books for the price of one-and-a-half. Either way, count us in.
1. What does the underlined word “splurge” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Spend the money. B. Take the effort.
C. Take the trouble. D. Spend the time.
2. How does the “Read and Return” program run
A. You can read books for free in any Paradies Lagardère store.
B. You can buy books for half price in airport bookstores.
C. You need to return the book to the same store where you buy it.
D. You can get half your money back if you return the book in time.
3. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. It is difficult to take part in the program.
B. The receipt is necessary if you want to return the book.
C. The program is popular with readers.
D. The program runs successfully.
4. Why does the author write this passage
A. To encourage people to read on airplanes.
B. To introduce Paradies Lagardère company.
C. To advertise the “Read and Return” program.
D. To show the advantages of reading on airplanes.

The Buy Nothing Movement
Social media, magazines and shop windows bombard(猛轰)people daily with things to buy, and British consumers are buying more clothes than ever before. The average person spends more than ￡1, 000 on new clothes a year, which might not sound like much. 1 A lot of consumer spending is by means of credit cards. British people currently owe about ￡670 per adult to credit card companies. Also, people are spending money they haven’t earned to buy things they don’t need. Britain throws away 300, 000 tons of clothing a year, most of which goes into landfill(垃圾填埋地)sites.
2 But charity shops can’t sell all those unwanted clothes. A lot of clothes that charities can’t sell are sent abroad, causing even more economic and environmental problems.
3 The idea originated in Canada in the early 1990s and then moved to the US. On Buy Nothing Day people organise various types of protests and cut up their credit cards. Throughout the year, Buy Nothing groups organise the exchange and repair of items they already own.
The trend has now reached influencers on social media which now encourage their viewers not to buy anything at all for periods as long as a year. Two friends in Canada spent a year working towards buying only food. For the first three months they learned how to live without buying electrical goods, clothes or things for the house. For the next stage, they gave up services, for example, haircuts, eating out or buying petrol for their cars. 4
The changes they made meant two fewer cars on the roads, a reduction in plastic and paper packaging and a positive impact on the environment from all the energy saved. 5 But even if you can’t manage a full year without going shopping, you can participate in the anti-consumerist movement by refusing to buy things you don’t need.
A. In one year, they’d saved $55, 000.
B. If everyone followed a similar plan, the results would be impressive.
C. Online shopping means it is easy for customers to buy without thinking.
D. Second-hand clothes are often of too poor quality to recycle in charity shops.
E. But that figure hides two far more worrying trends for society and for the environment
F. However, a different trend arises in opposition to consumerism—the ‘buy nothing’ trend.
G. People might not realise the problems because they donate their unwanted clothes to charities.
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了英国如今消费者购买了比以往更多的衣服, 但是自己并不需要这些衣服的社会现象, 同时这一现象也带来了社会和环境方面的担忧。
1. 【解析】选E。根据下文“A lot of consumer spending is by means of credit cards. 和Also, people are spending money they haven’t earned to buy things they don’t need. ”及“Britain throws away 300, 000 tons of clothing a year, most of which goes into landfill sites. ”可知, 人们买衣服时使用信用卡超前消费, 同时每年也会有30万吨的衣服进入垃圾站, 是对E项(但是这个数字背后隐藏了令社会和环境担忧的问题。)提出问题的具体解释说明。故选E项。
2. 【解析】选G。根据下文“But charity shops can’t sell all those unwanted clothes. A lot of clothes that charities can’t sell are sent abroad, causing even more economic and environmental problems. ”可知, 慈善商店把那些不能售卖的服装运到国外, 这会引起更多的经济和环境问题。承接上文, 推出G项(因为人们把不需要的衣服都捐给慈善团体, 并没有意识到那些问题。)切题, 该选项中的the problems对应下文中的economic and environmental problems. 。故选G项。
3. 【解析】选F。根据下文“The idea originated in Canada in the early 1990s and then moved to the US. On Buy Nothing Day people organise various types of protests and cut up their credit cards. Throughout the year, Buy Nothing groups organise the exchange and repair of items they already own. ”可知整个段落谈论的是关于“Buy Nothing Day”观念的起源和发展方式, 而F项(然而与消费主义相反的另一种趋势“不买”正在凸显。”)提出“Buy Nothing Day”观念。故选F项。
4. 【解析】选A。根据上文“Two friends in Canada spent a year working towards buying only food. For the first three months they learned how to live without buying electrical goods, clothes or things for the house. For the next stage, they gave up services, for example, haircuts, eating out or buying petrol for their cars. ”可知这两个朋友用一年的时间分二个阶段拒绝购买除食物之外的其他商品, 而A项(一年时间, 他们节省了$55, 000)是这两个朋友节约行为产生的结果即节省了$55, 000。故选A项。
5. 【解析】选B。根据上文“The changes they made meant two fewer cars on the roads, a reduction in plastic and paper packaging and a positive impact on the environment from all the energy saved. ”可知这两个朋友所做的改变意味着路上车变少、塑料袋和纸袋使用量会下降, 对节约能源有积极的影响。而B项(如果每个人都执行这种方法, 那结局会让人印象深刻)是上文产生的前提条件。故选B项。

【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者买了一双劣质的鞋子, 并去商店退换的经历。
1. 【解析】bought。考查时态。根据one day可知, 为过去时间状语, 故此处应填过去式。故填bought。
2. 【解析】for。考查介词。句意: 那里的一个售货员告诉我, 他的这双鞋有三包。我高高兴兴地离开了商店。根据句意可知, 此处用介词for对于……。故填for。
3. 【解析】later。考查副词。此处表示四天之后, 时间段+later表示“多久之后”, 故填later。
4. 【解析】completely。考查副词。此处需用副词修饰worn out。故填completely。
5. 【解析】hoping。考查非谓语动词。句意: 我很生气, 所以毫不犹豫地就回到了这家商店, 希望能把钱拿回来。根据句式结构和句意可知, 此处用现在分词作伴随状语。故填hoping。
6. 【解析】what。考查名词性从句。句意: 我告诉他我的鞋子怎么了。这是个宾语从句, 从句中缺少主语, 结合句意, 需用what引导。故填what。
7. 【解析】had kept。考查时态。此处动作先于主句的谓语动词, 主句使用的是过去式, 因此, 此处用过去完成时, 故填had kept。

Want to pick up that new best-seller for your flight, but not sure you want to spend the money
This will change your mind. If you’ve done a lot of traveling, you’ve probably noticed that the bookstores at airports all look pretty similar. They’ve all got familiar logos, the walls of inviting plane snacks, and, of course, the towers of new hardcover books. Chances are you’ve wanted to grab one of those books for the plane ride. However, those hardcover books are a little pricey. Is it worth it to splurge, just to relieve the midair boredom
Yes it is—because of a cool program that these bookstores have in place. These similar airport stores are all owned by the company Paradies Lagardère, and all of those stores take part in what’s called the “Read and Return” program. It’s exactly what it sounds like. Whenever you buy one of those books, you’ve got six months to finish it and bring it back to the same, or another, Paradies Lagardère location. When you do that, you get half your money for the original purchase back.
If you’re going on a trip, buy that book you’ve been dying to read. When you go back to the airport for the return trip, bring the book back with you and get half the money back. While you’re still in the bookstore, go ahead and get that other book you’ve been dying to read or the sequel to the book you read on the way there. Either way, your boredom on the flight back will be cured. And it gets better: the book you gave back will be re-sold for half price! Here’s what you can get for free at an airport.
There are two things you do need to make sure of. You have to bring back the receipt to get your money back. Also, the book needs to be in decent condition. But other than that, this program couldn’t be easier. In a way, it’s like a buy-one-get-one-half-off deal for books. Or get two books for the price of one-and-a-half. Either way, count us in.

The train left lately that night and arrived in Montreal at dawn the next morning. At the station, people everywhere was speaking French. There were signs and ads in the French, but some of them had English words in smaller letter. “We don’t leave until this evening, ” said Liu Qian. “Let’s going downtown. Old Montreal is close the water. ” They spend the afternoon in lovely shops but visiting artists in their workplaces beside the water. As they sat in a buffet restaurant looked over the broad St Lawrence River, a young man sat down with us.
答案:
1. 【解析】第一句: lately→late。考查固定用法。句意: 那天晚上, 火车离开得很晚, 第二天清晨到达蒙特利尔。late有副词词性, 表示“晚; 迟”; lately表示“最近地”。根据句意故lately改为late。
2. 【解析】第二句: was→were。考查主谓一致。句意: 在车站, 人们都在说法语。people为集合名词, 作主语时谓语动词要用复数形式, 故was改为were。
3. 【解析】第三句: 去掉the。考查冠词。句意: 那里有用法语写的标语和广告, 但有些用较小的字母写的是英语单词。固定搭配in French“用法语”中间不需要冠词, 故去掉the。
4. 【解析】第三句: letter→letters。考查名词的数。letter为可数名词, 前面没有冠词, 故用复数形式letters。
5. 【解析】第五句: going→go。考查固定用法。let’s do sth. “让我们做某事”后跟原形, 故going改为go。
6. 【解析】第六句: close后加to。考查介词。短语be close to“接近于……”故close后加to。
7. 【解析】第七句: spend→spent。考查动词时态。根据上文可知故事发生在故去应用一般过去时, 故spend改为spent。
8. 【解析】第七句: but→and。考查连词。句意: 他们整个下午都在可爱的商店里度过, 在水边的工作室里拜访艺术家。上下文为并列关系, 故but改为and。
9. 【解析】第八句: looked→looking。考查非谓语动词。句意: 他们坐在一家自助餐厅里, 眺望着宽阔的圣劳伦斯河。本句已经存在谓语动词且句中没有连词, 故look只能作非谓语动词, 与逻辑主语构成主谓关系用现在分词, 故looked改为look。
10. 【解析】第八句: us→them。考查人称代词。根据上文As they sat可知人称保持一致, 且作介词的宾语应用them, 故us改为them。

【参考范文】
Dear John,
You are writing to tell me that you are going to open the online bank service for shopping online but I don’t think it’s a good idea.
There is no doubt that it is very convenient for us to have online shopping but the disadvantages of it far outweigh the advantages. First of all, shopping online is a waste of money because buyers tend to be persuaded into buying something they don’t really need. Second, some of the products sold online are probably fake ones due to lack of supervision. What’s worse, nowadays there are also many reports related to online shopping that personal information and even bank accounts are stolen.
Therefore, I suggest that you think twice and remain rational when you are shopping online.
Yours,
Li Hua

Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance. The purpose is to let children learn from experience at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly.
The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family. Timing is another consideration. Some children get a weekly allowance. Others get a monthly allowance.
In any case, parents should make clear what, if anything, the child is expected to pay for with the money.
At first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it. If they do this, they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget. Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance.
The object is to show young people that a budget demands choices between spending and saving. Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs, like clothing or electronics.
Many people who have written on the subject of allowances say it is not a good idea to pay your child for working around the home. These jobs are a normal part of family life.
Paying children to do extra work around the house, however, can be useful. It can even provide an understanding of how a business works.
Allowances give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with money. They can share it in the form of gifts or giving it to a good cause. They can spend it by buying things they want. Or they can save it.
1. What is special about children learning financial management by experience
A. They learn more quickly.
B. They are not likely to make mistakes.
C. Their mistakes won’t matter so much.
D. They have plans made by their parents.
2. When the writer says some young children “will learn the hard way that. . . ” in Para. 4, he means______.
A. they will know how hard it is to learn budget
B. they will have an easy time learning the lesson
C. what they will learn is absolutely true
D. their parents will teach them a hard lesson
3. Judging from the article, it is all right if a couple give their son an allowance______.
A. regularly twice every month
B. whenever he has run out of money
C. telling him to ask for permission before spending
D. without telling him what to spend on
4. The writer would agree to encourage the kids to ______to deal with a tight budget.
A. borrow money from others
B. ask their parents for more money
C. get paid for their household routines
D. earn money by extra work

When my best friend and I were teenagers, we two had favourite past time. Our favourite place to hang out was the Hallmark store. If we had the money, we would choose the perfect card for each other and then share tears or smiles depending on what emotion the words motivated. In those coming of years we developed a friendship built on sincere feelings and we often found comfort in the words of a Hallmark card. I think it is perhaps because of those years that I have become a greeting card collector.
The other day, while cleaning out the storage in our home, I came across the bag that I have kept greeting cards. They are the lasting messages that speak the meanings of my life. I pull out a foolish looking card. It has a stick figure on the front that seems to be drawn in my portrait. I giggled as I realized this was exactly how my oldest daughter saw her mum. Opening it up I saw a hand drawn heart with eyes and a big smile. On the other side are some words “You are the best mum in the world! ” This may be one card that Hallmark cannot compete with for it is a treasure more precious than gold. I can’t go back to where I’ve been but, from time to time, I can be taken into a welcomed memory trip.
These are the Hallmark moments of our lives. Words from once upon a time that inspire us to appreciate the people in our lives who mean so much. When we sometimes have doubts, or when the world deals us unfair blows, the encouraging words are there in black and white, sometimes drawn as in a homemade stick figure with a heart shaped smiley face standing out from the rest of the pile.
Life is a Hallmark card when you care enough to send the very best.
5. What influence does the Hallmark card have on the author
A. Finding her real hobby.
B. Becoming a greeting card collector.
C. Getting real friendship and comfort.
D. Sharing the experience of life with friends.
6. The author uses “a welcomed memory trip” in Paragraph 2 to show that______.
A. she often remembers her past
B. those cards are very precious for her
C. her daughter’s words move her deeply
D. drawing herself on the cards is very meaningful
7. Why does the author think the words on the cards mean a lot
A. Because they make her fill with gratitude.
B. Because they are written in different colors.
C. Because they can help her overcome doubts.
D. Because they always give her encouragement.
8. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage
A. Words on the cards
B. Collect greeting cards
C. Life is a Hallmark Card
D. Memory in the childhood

The Buy Nothing Movement
Social media, magazines and shop windows bombard(猛轰)people daily with things to buy, and British consumers are buying more clothes than ever before. The average person spends more than ￡1, 000 on new clothes a year, which might not sound like much. 1 A lot of consumer spending is by means of credit cards. British people currently owe about ￡670 per adult to credit card companies. Also, people are spending money they haven’t earned to buy things they don’t need. Britain throws away 300, 000 tons of clothing a year, most of which goes into landfill(垃圾填埋地)sites.
2 But charity shops can’t sell all those unwanted clothes. A lot of clothes that charities can’t sell are sent abroad, causing even more economic and environmental problems.
3 The idea originated in Canada in the early 1990s and then moved to the US. On Buy Nothing Day people organise various types of protests and cut up their credit cards. Throughout the year, Buy Nothing groups organise the exchange and repair of items they already own.
The trend has now reached influencers on social media which now encourage their viewers not to buy anything at all for periods as long as a year. Two friends in Canada spent a year working towards buying only food. For the first three months they learned how to live without buying electrical goods, clothes or things for the house. For the next stage, they gave up services, for example, haircuts, eating out or buying petrol for their cars. 4
The changes they made meant two fewer cars on the roads, a reduction in plastic and paper packaging and a positive impact on the environment from all the energy saved. 5 But even if you can’t manage a full year without going shopping, you can participate in the anti-consumerist movement by refusing to buy things you don’t need.
A. In one year, they’d saved $55, 000.
B. If everyone followed a similar plan, the results would be impressive.
C. Online shopping means it is easy for customers to buy without thinking.
D. Second-hand clothes are often of too poor quality to recycle in charity shops.
E. But that figure hides two far more worrying trends for society and for the environment
F. However, a different trend arises in opposition to consumerism—the ‘buy nothing’ trend.
G. People might not realise the problems because they donate their unwanted clothes to charities.

Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance. The purpose is to let children learn from experience at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly.
The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family. Timing is another consideration. Some children get a weekly allowance. Others get a monthly allowance.
In any case, parents should make clear what, if anything, the child is expected to pay for with the money.
At first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it. If they do this, they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget. Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance.
The object is to show young people that a budget demands choices between spending and saving. Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs, like clothing or electronics.
Many people who have written on the subject of allowances say it is not a good idea to pay your child for working around the home. These jobs are a normal part of family life.
Paying children to do extra work around the house, however, can be useful. It can even provide an understanding of how a business works.
Allowances give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with money. They can share it in the form of gifts or giving it to a good cause. They can spend it by buying things they want. Or they can save it.
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了如何教育孩子学会理财。
1. What is special about children learning financial management by experience
A. They learn more quickly.
B. They are not likely to make mistakes.
C. Their mistakes won’t matter so much.
D. They have plans made by their parents.
【解析】选C。细节理解题。由文章第一段中的“when financial mistakes are not very costly”可知, 通过经验让孩子学习理财的特殊性在于他们的错误影响不大。
2. When the writer says some young children “will learn the hard way that. . . ” in Para. 4, he means______.
A. they will know how hard it is to learn budget
B. they will have an easy time learning the lesson
C. what they will learn is absolutely true
D. their parents will teach them a hard lesson
【解析】选A。句意理解题。由第四段中的“not to offer more money until the next allowance”可知, 如果开始时孩子们很快花完了零用钱, 而父母却不会马上再次给他们钱。由此逻辑关系可知, 他们学习理财的日子肯定很难熬了。故选A。
3. Judging from the article, it is all right if a couple give their son an allowance______.
A. regularly twice every month
B. whenever he has run out of money
C. telling him to ask for permission before spending
D. without telling him what to spend on

【知识拓展】难句解读
Many people who have written on the subject of allowances say it is not a good idea to pay your child for working around the home.
分析: 本句为主从复合句。其中who引导定语从句, 修饰先行词people; it is not a good idea to pay your child for working around the home. 为省略that的宾语从句, 含有it is/was+n. (短语)+to do sth. 结构, it为形式主语。
翻译: 许多以零用钱为主题的人说, 给孩子做家务活的钱不是一个好主意。

When my best friend and I were teenagers, we two had favourite past time. Our favourite place to hang out was the Hallmark store. If we had the money, we would choose the perfect card for each other and then share tears or smiles depending on what emotion the words motivated. In those coming of years we developed a friendship built on sincere feelings and we often found comfort in the words of a Hallmark card. I think it is perhaps because of those years that I have become a greeting card collector.
The other day, while cleaning out the storage in our home, I came across the bag that I have kept greeting cards. They are the lasting messages that speak the meanings of my life. I pull out a foolish looking card. It has a stick figure on the front that seems to be drawn in my portrait. I giggled as I realized this was exactly how my oldest daughter saw her mum. Opening it up I saw a hand drawn heart with eyes and a big smile. On the other side are some words “You are the best mum in the world! ” This may be one card that Hallmark cannot compete with for it is a treasure more precious than gold. I can’t go back to where I’ve been but, from time to time, I can be taken into a welcomed memory trip.
These are the Hallmark moments of our lives. Words from once upon a time that inspire us to appreciate the people in our lives who mean so much. When we sometimes have doubts, or when the world deals us unfair blows, the encouraging words are there in black and white, sometimes drawn as in a homemade stick figure with a heart shaped smiley face standing out from the rest of the pile.
Life is a Hallmark card when you care enough to send the very best.

The Buy Nothing Movement
Social media, magazines and shop windows bombard(猛轰)people daily with things to buy, and British consumers are buying more clothes than ever before. The average person spends more than ￡1, 000 on new clothes a year, which might not sound like much. 1 A lot of consumer spending is by means of credit cards. British people currently owe about ￡670 per adult to credit card companies. Also, people are spending money they haven’t earned to buy things they don’t need. Britain throws away 300, 000 tons of clothing a year, most of which goes into landfill(垃圾填埋地)sites.
2 But charity shops can’t sell all those unwanted clothes. A lot of clothes that charities can’t sell are sent abroad, causing even more economic and environmental problems.
3 The idea originated in Canada in the early 1990s and then moved to the US. On Buy Nothing Day people organise various types of protests and cut up their credit cards. Throughout the year, Buy Nothing groups organise the exchange and repair of items they already own.
The trend has now reached influencers on social media which now encourage their viewers not to buy anything at all for periods as long as a year. Two friends in Canada spent a year working towards buying only food. For the first three months they learned how to live without buying electrical goods, clothes or things for the house. For the next stage, they gave up services, for example, haircuts, eating out or buying petrol for their cars. 4
The changes they made meant two fewer cars on the roads, a reduction in plastic and paper packaging and a positive impact on the environment from all the energy saved. 5 But even if you can’t manage a full year without going shopping, you can participate in the anti-consumerist movement by refusing to buy things you don’t need.
A. In one year, they’d saved $55, 000.
B. If everyone followed a similar plan, the results would be impressive.
C. Online shopping means it is easy for customers to buy without thinking.
D. Second-hand clothes are often of too poor quality to recycle in charity shops.
E. But that figure hides two far more worrying trends for society and for the environment
F. However, a different trend arises in opposition to consumerism—the ‘buy nothing’ trend.
G. People might not realise the problems because they donate their unwanted clothes to charities.
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了英国如今消费者购买了比以往更多的衣服, 但是自己并不需要这些衣服的社会现象, 同时这一现象也带来了社会和环境方面的担忧。
1. 【解析】选E。根据下文“A lot of consumer spending is by means of credit cards. 和Also, people are spending money they haven’t earned to buy things they don’t need. ”及“Britain throws away 300, 000 tons of clothing a year, most of which goes into landfill sites. ”可知, 人们买衣服时使用信用卡超前消费, 同时每年也会有30万吨的衣服进入垃圾站, 是对E项(但是这个数字背后隐藏了令社会和环境担忧的问题。)提出问题的具体解释说明。故选E项。
2. 【解析】选G。根据下文“But charity shops can’t sell all those unwanted clothes. A lot of clothes that charities can’t sell are sent abroad, causing even more economic and environmental problems. ”可知, 慈善商店把那些不能售卖的服装运到国外, 这会引起更多的经济和环境问题。承接上文, 推出G项(因为人们把不需要的衣服都捐给慈善团体, 并没有意识到那些问题。)切题, 该选项中的the problems对应下文中的economic and environmental problems. 。故选G项。
3. 【解析】选F。根据下文“The idea originated in Canada in the early 1990s and then moved to the US. On Buy Nothing Day people organise various types of protests and cut up their credit cards. Throughout the year, Buy Nothing groups organise the exchange and repair of items they already own. ”可知整个段落谈论的是关于“Buy Nothing Day”观念的起源和发展方式, 而F项(然而与消费主义相反的另一种趋势“不买”正在凸显。”)提出“Buy Nothing Day”观念。故选F项。
4. 【解析】选A。根据上文“Two friends in Canada spent a year working towards buying only food. For the first three months they learned how to live without buying electrical goods, clothes or things for the house. For the next stage, they gave up services, for example, haircuts, eating out or buying petrol for their cars. ”可知这两个朋友用一年的时间分二个阶段拒绝购买除食物之外的其他商品, 而A项(一年时间, 他们节省了$55, 000)是这两个朋友节约行为产生的结果即节省了$55, 000。故选A项。
5. 【解析】选B。根据上文“The changes they made meant two fewer cars on the roads, a reduction in plastic and paper packaging and a positive impact on the environment from all the energy saved. ”可知这两个朋友所做的改变意味着路上车变少、塑料袋和纸袋使用量会下降, 对节约能源有积极的影响。而B项(如果每个人都执行这种方法, 那结局会让人印象深刻)是上文产生的前提条件。故选B项。

Want to pick up that new best-seller for your flight, but not sure you want to spend the money
This will change your mind. If you’ve done a lot of traveling, you’ve probably noticed that the bookstores at airports all look pretty similar. They’ve all got familiar logos, the walls of inviting plane snacks, and, of course, the towers of new hardcover books. Chances are you’ve wanted to grab one of those books for the plane ride. However, those hardcover books are a little pricey. Is it worth it to splurge, just to relieve the midair boredom
Yes it is—because of a cool program that these bookstores have in place. These similar airport stores are all owned by the company Paradies Lagardère, and all of those stores take part in what’s called the “Read and Return” program. It’s exactly what it sounds like. Whenever you buy one of those books, you’ve got six months to finish it and bring it back to the same, or another, Paradies Lagardère location. When you do that, you get half your money for the original purchase back.
If you’re going on a trip, buy that book you’ve been dying to read. When you go back to the airport for the return trip, bring the book back with you and get half the money back. While you’re still in the bookstore, go ahead and get that other book you’ve been dying to read or the sequel to the book you read on the way there. Either way, your boredom on the flight back will be cured. And it gets better: the book you gave back will be re-sold for half price! Here’s what you can get for free at an airport.
There are two things you do need to make sure of. You have to bring back the receipt to get your money back. Also, the book needs to be in decent condition. But other than that, this program couldn’t be easier. In a way, it’s like a buy-one-get-one-half-off deal for books. Or get two books for the price of one-and-a-half. Either way, count us in.
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了Paradies Lagardère公司提供的“Read and Return”项目, 旨在为读者创造便利条件, 购买的书读完后归还可以获得原购买价格一半的钱数。

Spend the money. 花钱; B. Take the effort. 努力; C. Take the trouble. 麻烦; D. Spend the time. 花时间。通过分析语境可知A项“Spend the money”花钱切合题意。故选A项。
2. How does the “Read and Return” program run
A. You can read books for free in any Paradies Lagardère store.
B. You can buy books for half price in airport bookstores.
C. You need to return the book to the same store where you buy it.
D. You can get half your money back if you return the book in time.
【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据第三段中“Whenever you buy one of those books, you’ve got six months to finish it and bring it back to the same, or another, Paradies Lagardère location. When you do that, you get half your money for the original purchase back. ” 每当你购买其中一本书籍时, 你有六个月的时间看完, 并将其带回Paradies Lagardère的同一家或另一家。这样做你可以获得当初购买价格一半的钱数。可知这个活动中如果你及时归还这本书, 你可以拿回一半的钱。故选D项。
3. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. It is difficult to take part in the program.
B. The receipt is necessary if you want to return the book.
C. The program is popular with readers.
D. The program runs successfully.
【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据最后一段中“You have to bring back the receipt to get your money back. ”你必须带回收据才能拿回你的钱。可知如果想退还书, 则需要收据。故选B项。
4. Why does the author write this passage
A. To encourage people to read on airplanes.
B. To introduce Paradies Lagardère company.
C. To advertise the “Read and Return” program.
D. To show the advantages of reading on airplanes.
【解析】选C。目的意图题。根据第三段中“These similar airport stores are all owned by the company Paradies Lagardère, and all of those stores take part in what’s called the Read and Return” program. 这些类似的机场商店都归Paradies Lagardère公司所有, 并且所有这些商店都参与了“Read and Return” program。并通读全文可知全文主要为Read and Return 项目打广告。故选C项。
【知识拓展】难句解读
If you’ve done a lot of traveling, you’ve probably noticed that the bookstores at airports all look pretty similar.
分析: 本句为主从复合句。其中if引导条件状语从句, 意为“如果”; that引导宾语从句。
翻译: 如果你经常旅行, 你可能会注意到机场的书店看起来都很相似。

Ⅲ. 短文改错
(2021·汉中模拟)
The train left lately that night and arrived in Montreal at dawn the next morning. At the station, people everywhere was speaking French. There were signs and ads in the French, but some of them had English words in smaller letter. “We don’t leave until this evening, ” said Liu Qian. “Let’s going downtown. Old Montreal is close the water. ” They spend the afternoon in lovely shops but visiting artists in their workplaces beside the water. As they sat in a buffet restaurant looked over the broad St Lawrence River, a young man sat down with us.
答案:
1. 【解析】第一句: lately→late。考查固定用法。句意: 那天晚上, 火车离开得很晚, 第二天清晨到达蒙特利尔。late有副词词性, 表示“晚; 迟”; lately表示“最近地”。根据句意故lately改为late。
2. 【解析】第二句: was→were。考查主谓一致。句意: 在车站, 人们都在说法语。people为集合名词, 作主语时谓语动词要用复数形式, 故was改为were。
3. 【解析】第三句: 去掉the。考查冠词。句意: 那里有用法语写的标语和广告, 但有些用较小的字母写的是英语单词。固定搭配in French“用法语”中间不需要冠词, 故去掉the。
4. 【解析】第三句: letter→letters。考查名词的数。letter为可数名词, 前面没有冠词, 故用复数形式letters。
5. 【解析】第五句: going→go。考查固定用法。let’s do sth. “让我们做某事”后跟原形, 故going改为go。
6. 【解析】第六句: close后加to。考查介词。短语be close to“接近于……”故close后加to。
7. 【解析】第七句: spend→spent。考查动词时态。根据上文可知故事发生在故去应用一般过去时, 故spend改为spent。
8. 【解析】第七句: but→and。考查连词。句意: 他们整个下午都在可爱的商店里度过, 在水边的工作室里拜访艺术家。上下文为并列关系, 故but改为and。
9. 【解析】第八句: looked→looking。考查非谓语动词。句意: 他们坐在一家自助餐厅里, 眺望着宽阔的圣劳伦斯河。本句已经存在谓语动词且句中没有连词, 故look只能作非谓语动词, 与逻辑主语构成主谓关系用现在分词, 故looked改为look。
10. 【解析】第八句: us→them。考查人称代词。根据上文As they sat可知人称保持一致, 且作介词的宾语应用them, 故us改为them。
Ⅳ. 书面表达
假设你是李华, 你的朋友John写信告诉你他打算开通网银进行网上购物, 但你并不赞成网上购物, 于是给他写了一封信, 陈述了网上购物的弊端。

Dear John,
You are writing to tell me that you are going to open the online bank service for shopping online but I don’t think it’s a good idea.
There is no doubt that it is very convenient for us to have online shopping but the disadvantages of it far outweigh the advantages. First of all, shopping online is a waste of money because buyers tend to be persuaded into buying something they don’t really need. Second, some of the products sold online are probably fake ones due to lack of supervision. What’s worse, nowadays there are also many reports related to online shopping that personal information and even bank accounts are stolen.
Therefore, I suggest that you think twice and remain rational when you are shopping online.
Yours,
