I was sitting at my kitchen table the other day with a pen, notebook, calculator and a pile of bills. I was doing my monthly budget. There were bills for electric water, rent, insurance, the car payment, the phone bill, and the cable bill. Plus money needed to be set aside for food, gas, clothes and hopefully a little left over to save for those unexpected bills that always seemed to show up. When I was done, I shook my head, closed my eyes and thought of a time long ago when I would regularly get treasures.
When I was a boy, we lived across the road from Camp Caesar. It held week long camps all through the summer and my grandma who I lovingly called “Nanny” worked in her big kitchen. I remember slipping there getting a smile, a hug, a kiss and a hot roll from Nanny. Then she would always take deep in her pockets and pull out a treasure, a shiny quarter. She would give it to me and I would run down the hill to either get an ice cold can of coke from the pop machine or I would head to the camp's swimming pool where I could buy a warm cup of cherry coke for 15 cents and a tiny 10 cent bag of chips from a stand. I took my time because it was always a big decision. It was nice too feeling so rich for a few minutes.
Looking back now I can see that the real treasure was not the quarter at all. It was the love with which Nanny gave it to me. I would have still visited her at work every day if I had never gotten a single quarter. It was her smile, hugs, and kisses that were priceless in my heart then and now.
The old saying is true, “With your work you can make a living, but it is with your love that you make a life.” You can always welcome love into your heart, soul and mind. And you can always share your love with others. It is that one treasure that lasts forever.

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 work 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.
语篇解读：本文是议论文，主要论述了如何让孩子了解钱的价值以及对钱的使用。
8．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。由文章第一段最后一句可知，通过经验让孩子学习理财的特殊性在于“when financial mistakes are not very costly”。
9．When the writer says some young children “will learn the hard way that ...”， 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。由第四段可知，如果开始时孩子们很快花完了补助，而父母直到下次补助才会给他们钱，他们的学习理财的日子肯定很难熬。
10．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
解析：选A 推理判断题。由第二段可以推断每个家庭给孩子零花钱的次数和多少均不同，有的一周一次，有的一月一次。故选A。
11．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
解析：选D 推理判断题。由倒数第二段中的第一句“Paying children to do extra work around the house”可知，当补助预算吃紧时，作者赞成孩子通过干些额外工作的方式来赚些钱。
D
Think “art”. What comes to your mind Is it Greek or Roman sculptures in the Louvre, or Chinese paintings Have you ever imagined it's a dancing pattern of lights
The artworks by American artist Janet Echelman look like colorful floating clouds when lit up at night. Visitors could not only enjoy looking at them but also interact with them literally — by using their phones to change the colors and patterns. But are they really art
Whatever your opinion is, we cannot deny art has existed for thousands of years and art and technology have always been two separate things.
Today, however, technological advances have led to a combination of art and technology, changing the art world greatly. Now art is more accessible to us. For example, people used to queue for six hours but spend limited time admiring the famous 5-meter Chinese painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival. Thanks to technology, however, viewers can leisurely experience a digital version of this painting, where the characters can move and interact with their surroundings.
The art-tech combination is also changing our concepts of “art” and the “artist”. Not only can we interact with art, but take part in its creation. With new technological tools at our fingertips, more people are exploring new art forms, such as digital paintings and videos. However, it has also raised questions over its overall quality. Can a video of someone slicing a tomato really be called “art”？
Similarly, such developments are making the line between art and technology less distinct. Can someone unfamiliar with traditional artists' tools really call themselves an “artist”？ And is the artist the creator of the art itself, or the maker of the technology behind it
Where technology will take art next is anyone's guess. But one thing is for sure — with so many artists exploring new possibilities, we can definitely expect the unexpected.
语篇解读：艺术已经存续了数千年，随着现代科技的发展，艺术和科技从各自平行发展，到如今逐渐结合。艺术和艺术家的意义都自然更加宽泛了，未来两者的结合必然会给我们带来更多的惊喜。
12．How could viewers interact with Janet Echelman's artworks
A．By talking to her on the phone.
B．By lighting up the artworks.
C．By touching their phone screens.
D．By coloring the patterns.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Visitors could ... interact with them literally — by using their phones to change the colors and patterns.”可知，观众通过手机屏幕来与珍妮特·艾克曼的作品互动。故选C项。
13．What does the example in Paragraph 4 indicate
A．Achievements of China's technology.
B．The influence of art on technology.
C．Interaction between viewers and art.
D．Easier access to art caused by technology.
解析：选D 推理判断题。事例用于证明观点，根据第四段中心句“Now art is more accessible to us.”可知，此例表明科技使人们更容易接近艺术。故选D项。
14．What do we know about the art-tech combination
A．It lowers the quality of artworks.
B．It involves common people in innovation.
C．It shortens the time of painting.
D．It makes scientists the real creators of art.
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第五段第三句“With new technological tools at our fingertips，more people are exploring new art forms ...”可知，新兴科学技术使人们得以探索新的艺术形式，使更多的普通人参与创新。故选B项。
15．What is the author's attitude toward combining technology with art
A．Regretful. B．Objective.
C．Disapproving. D．Conservative.
解析：选B 观点态度题。根据第五段倒数第二句及文章尾段第二句可知，作者既陈述了艺术与科技的结合引发了人们对其质量的质疑，又表示未来肯定可以期待意想不到的惊喜。可见，作者对科技与艺术结合的态度是客观的。故选B项。regretful意为“后悔的”；disapproving意为“不同意的”；conservative意为“保守的”。

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Everyone likes the beautiful Cinderella, but I like the ugly stepsister.
The sidewalk was filled with shoppers as my mother and I hurried to the department store.I raised my neck for a look at the holiday window display, but at the age of six I was too small to see around the grown-ups with their winter coats and packages.When at last we reached the store, I stood with my eyes widened.“Look, Mother，” I shouted, pressing my hands against the glass, “Cinderella.” Before my eyes was the most beautiful doll I had ever seen! She wore a fairy princess suit made of shining red silk.I knew if I lifted her skirt I would find her crystal (水晶) shoes.The tiny tiara (冠状头饰) fastened to her silky golden hair shone.
“If only she were mine，” I dreamed.“We'd have tea parties, share secrets and dance with a handsome prince.” But to my disappointment, my mother guided me away from the window, explaining that she and my father could not afford such an expensive doll.“But there will be a very special gift under the tree for you on Christmas morning, Madge，” she said.“I promise.”
Later that week I leaned against Mother's sewing machine, watching the needle flash up and down.“Bet you don't know what this is！” she joked, holding up the cloth for me to see.
“My Christmas doll！” I yelled.It was still in the early stages but I could make out the head, neck and body.“So much to my surprise！” Mother laughed as I danced around the room, already pretending Cinderella and I were at the ball.It wouldn't be long now.
My excitement grew with each passing day.Mother continued to work on the doll, and whenever I walked into the room she would hide it under a pillow.I could tell by her smile she was pleased with her progress.On Christmas morning I jumped out of bed, ran down the hall and quickly arrived at the living room where the Christmas tree was placed.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph 1：
There, underneath the tree, was a beautifully packed gift box.
Paragraph 2：
But I could see Mother watching me, with an eager look on her face.
参考范文：
Paragraph 1：
There, underneath the tree, was a beautifully packed gift box.Inside it was the “doll” I expected.I opened it, holding my breath.However, to my disappointment, it was totally different from the one we saw at the store.She had a simple face, and wore a plain skirt.Her black woolen hair was pulled back in a tight tie, with no shiny tiara at all.She was nothing like Cinderella; she looked more like the ugly stepsister.
Paragraph 2：
But I could see Mother watching me, with an eager look on her face.I knew that Mother worked hard on my Christmas doll and she would be sad if I didn't like it.Trying to hide my disappointment, I rushed across the room, yelling, “I love her! I love her！” Then I buried my face in the doll's skirt.I stood there for a long moment and heard my mother sigh with relief.For the rest of the day, I made myself carry that homely doll everywhere.I even “fed” her with part of my Christmas dinner.Mother told me at one point that she was so glad I liked her!UNIT 5 单元验收评价(二)——仿真高考检测

I was sitting at my kitchen table the other day with a pen, notebook, calculator and a pile of bills. I was doing my monthly budget. There were bills for electric water, rent, insurance, the car payment, the phone bill, and the cable bill. Plus money needed to be set aside for food, gas, clothes and hopefully a little left over to save for those unexpected bills that always seemed to show up. When I was done, I shook my head, closed my eyes and thought of a time long ago when I would regularly get treasures.
When I was a boy, we lived across the road from Camp Caesar. It held week long camps all through the summer and my grandma who I lovingly called “Nanny” worked in her big kitchen. I remember slipping there getting a smile, a hug, a kiss and a hot roll from Nanny. Then she would always take deep in her pockets and pull out a treasure, a shiny quarter. She would give it to me and I would run down the hill to either get an ice cold can of coke from the pop machine or I would head to the camp's swimming pool where I could buy a warm cup of cherry coke for 15 cents and a tiny 10 cent bag of chips from a stand. I took my time because it was always a big decision. It was nice too feeling so rich for a few minutes.
Looking back now I can see that the real treasure was not the quarter at all. It was the love with which Nanny gave it to me. I would have still visited her at work every day if I had never gotten a single quarter. It was her smile, hugs, and kisses that were priceless in my heart then and now.
The old saying is true, “With your work you can make a living, but it is with your love that you make a life.” You can always welcome love into your heart, soul and mind. And you can always share your love with others. It is that one treasure that lasts forever.
4．According to Paragraph 1, what was the author trying to figure out
A．Where to get treasures.
B．What food and supplies to buy.
C．How to sort out these bills at hand.
D．How to balance the money available.
5．What does the underlined word “roll” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A．A kind of bread. B．A kind of act.
C．A sound. D．A greeting.
6．Which of the following best describes Nanny
A．Considerate. B．Generous.
C．Affectionate. D．Enthusiastic.
7．Why does the author mention the old saying in the last paragraph
A．To change people's heart and soul.
B．To show what we should value in life.
C．To explain work and love can make a life.
D．To advise more love and sharing in childhood.
C
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 work 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.
8．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.
9．When the writer says some young children “will learn the hard way that ...”， 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
10．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
11．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

Think “art”. What comes to your mind Is it Greek or Roman sculptures in the Louvre, or Chinese paintings Have you ever imagined it's a dancing pattern of lights
The artworks by American artist Janet Echelman look like colorful floating clouds when lit up at night. Visitors could not only enjoy looking at them but also interact with them literally — by using their phones to change the colors and patterns. But are they really art
Whatever your opinion is, we cannot deny art has existed for thousands of years and art and technology have always been two separate things.
Today, however, technological advances have led to a combination of art and technology, changing the art world greatly. Now art is more accessible to us. For example, people used to queue for six hours but spend limited time admiring the famous 5-meter Chinese painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival. Thanks to technology, however, viewers can leisurely experience a digital version of this painting, where the characters can move and interact with their surroundings.
The art-tech combination is also changing our concepts of “art” and the “artist”. Not only can we interact with art, but take part in its creation. With new technological tools at our fingertips, more people are exploring new art forms, such as digital paintings and videos. However, it has also raised questions over its overall quality. Can a video of someone slicing a tomato really be called “art”？
Similarly, such developments are making the line between art and technology less distinct. Can someone unfamiliar with traditional artists' tools really call themselves an “artist”？ And is the artist the creator of the art itself, or the maker of the technology behind it
Where technology will take art next is anyone's guess. But one thing is for sure — with so many artists exploring new possibilities, we can definitely expect the unexpected.
12．How could viewers interact with Janet Echelman's artworks
A．By talking to her on the phone.
B．By lighting up the artworks.
C．By touching their phone screens.
D．By coloring the patterns.
13．What does the example in Paragraph 4 indicate
A．Achievements of China's technology.
B．The influence of art on technology.
C．Interaction between viewers and art.
D．Easier access to art caused by technology.
14．What do we know about the art-tech combination
A．It lowers the quality of artworks.
B．It involves common people in innovation.
C．It shortens the time of painting.
D．It makes scientists the real creators of art.
15．What is the author's attitude toward combining technology with art
A．Regretful. B．Objective.
C．Disapproving. D．Conservative.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Everyone likes the beautiful Cinderella, but I like the ugly stepsister.
The sidewalk was filled with shoppers as my mother and I hurried to the department store.I raised my neck for a look at the holiday window display, but at the age of six I was too small to see around the grown-ups with their winter coats and packages.When at last we reached the store, I stood with my eyes widened.“Look, Mother，” I shouted, pressing my hands against the glass, “Cinderella.” Before my eyes was the most beautiful doll I had ever seen! She wore a fairy princess suit made of shining red silk.I knew if I lifted her skirt I would find her crystal (水晶) shoes.The tiny tiara (冠状头饰) fastened to her silky golden hair shone.
“If only she were mine，” I dreamed.“We'd have tea parties, share secrets and dance with a handsome prince.” But to my disappointment, my mother guided me away from the window, explaining that she and my father could not afford such an expensive doll.“But there will be a very special gift under the tree for you on Christmas morning, Madge，” she said.“I promise.”
Later that week I leaned against Mother's sewing machine, watching the needle flash up and down.“Bet you don't know what this is！” she joked, holding up the cloth for me to see.
“My Christmas doll！” I yelled.It was still in the early stages but I could make out the head, neck and body.“So much to my surprise！” Mother laughed as I danced around the room, already pretending Cinderella and I were at the ball.It wouldn't be long now.
My excitement grew with each passing day.Mother continued to work on the doll, and whenever I walked into the room she would hide it under a pillow.I could tell by her smile she was pleased with her progress.On Christmas morning I jumped out of bed, ran down the hall and quickly arrived at the living room where the Christmas tree was placed.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph 1：
There, underneath the tree, was a beautifully packed gift box.
Paragraph 2：
But I could see Mother watching me, with an eager look on her face.
