Ke’Nyzjah Ferebee was standing by the kitchen worktop, adding cupcake liners to a pan. She used an ice cream spoon to fill each with cake batter (面糊) to ensure they would look identical. A finished group sat on the counter with white buttercream turning on top. The cupcakes were for a 2 year old’s “Moana” themed birthday party. The next day, she had orders for a two tiered cake and two birthday cakes.
While most teenagers are spending the summer hanging out with friends and working, Ke’Nyzjah is filling orders, updating her website and getting new branding photos. She owns and operates KayKe Bakery, a home based business, specializing in custom cakes and cupcakes. She offers 14 flavors. She requires at least two to four weeks’ notice on orders, and she gets six to seven a week.
In 2020, she started baking out of boredom and a desire for cake. She asked her mom for a solution. Mom pointed her to a box of cake mix in the cupboard. Ke’Nyzjah’s first attempt failed. But she tried making more cakes the next day. She got better.
She watched hours of YouTube videos to come up with a recipe and to teach herself baking techniques. “Once I got on Instagram and started seeing other people’s decorated cakes, I got inspired to be a cake artist instead of just a baker,” she said. She took business classes such as digital marketing at her school. She also registered for a course to become a certified customer service specialist. It taught her how to talk to customers and get through a sale. She’s constantly trying to find more ways to promote her business and find new clients. “It’s a little difficult to keep up with both my Instagram and my Facebook pages and manage school, personal life and a business. It can be a lot sometimes, but I manage.”
Nakesia Fercbec, Ke’Nyzjah’s mother, feels her daughter’s father has been influential. Ke’Nyzjah gives her mother great credit. “She’s like my biggest supporter. She’s found my potential and made me who I am. I’ve come to realize that I am an incredibly enterprising person.”
4.What was Ke’Nyzjah doing according to the first paragraph
A.Designing a themed party. B.Making cakes for business.
C.Preparing for her birthday party. D.Placing an order for cakes online.
5.What can be inferred about KayKe Bakery
A.It is well received. B.It hosts parties for customers.
C.It is a joint business. D.It mainly provides service for kids.
6.What could be a challenge for Ke’Nyzjah
A.Attending business classes. B.Teaching herself baking techniques.
C.Getting along with her clients. D.Balancing her business with schooling.
7.What is the text mainly about
A.A home based teen baker. B.A boredom killing bakery.
C.How to become a cake artist. D.How to start a business.

How to Start a Business
The unemployment rate is so high in the present society that many young people are thinking about starting their own business. However, setting up on your own will by no means be easy. 1
Make a business plan.
If you decide to start a business, the first thing you must do is draw up a realistic business plan—this is a working document that describes the business, its objectives, its financial forecasts and so on. 2
3
Once you have a detailed business plan and enough evidence to make people believe that your idea is rational, it is time to go and see the bank manager. It is important to shop around to find which bank offers the best deal and who you feel most comfortable with. Make sure what you’re getting is right for you and your business.
Develop a survival strategy.
4 One of the biggest obstacles to people starting a business can be understanding all the legislation. That can be about tax, employment, trade, health and safety or the environment. It can be confusing if you have never run your own business.
Get yourself noticed.
In order to make your business a success, you must ensure that consumers know its existence. 5 For example, if you are running a local plumbing company, then delivering leaflets in your area would be the best option.
A.Get access to finance.
B.Be sure to attract much attention.
C.The tips below may help you start a business.
D.So it is really important to make a business plan.
E.Make sure you are running your business correctly by the law.
F.Choosing how to advertise depends on the type of the business.
G.A bank would not consider lending money unless you show a detailed business plan.

Unit 4 Everyday economics
Part 1 Starting out & Understanding ideas
基础过关练
Ⅰ.1.phases 2.blank 3.obstacle
Ⅱ.1.from 考查介词。句意:这对双胞胎长得很像,但他们的性格却截然不同。a world away from...为固定搭配,意为“与……完全不同,与……有天壤之别”。
2.to/among 考查介词。句意:这些慈善机构把多余的食物收集起来,以便他们可以分发给需要的人。distribute...to/among...为固定搭配,意为“把……分发给……”。
3.under 考查介词。句意:所有精心设计的活动都在经验丰富的导师的指导下进行,这些导师都非常有能力承担这项工作。under the guidance of...为固定搭配,意为“在……的指导下”。
4.consultants 考查名词。句意:现在很多学校都有心理咨询师来帮助有心理压力的学生。根据空前的形容词psychological可知设空处应用名词作have的宾语,结合语境可知此处表示“咨询师,顾问”,应用名词consultant。consultant为可数名词,其前无冠词等限定词修饰,应用其复数形式。故填consultants。
5.distribution 考查名词。句意:政府正在努力试图避免城乡学校之间资源的分配不均。根据空前的定冠词the和形容词 unbalanced以及空后的介词of可知设空处应用名词,由句意可知此处表示“分配,分布”,故填distribution。

能力提升练
Ⅰ.1.Surrounded 考查过去分词。分析句子结构可知,“Zhang Yue paid them little attention”为句子主干,“ 1 by roses...up”在句中作状语,paid为句中的谓语动词,则设空处应用非谓语动词形式。句子主语Zhang Yue与surround之间为逻辑上的被动关系,因此用过去分词短语作状语。
2.from 考查介词。graduate from毕业于。
3.which 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,“ 3 surprised many people”为设空处引导的非限制性定语从句,先行词为整个主句,关系词在非限制性定语从句中作主语,因此用which。
4.has been bitten 考查动词的时态、语态及主谓一致。句意:到目前为止,她并不是唯一热衷于创业的年轻人。“that 4 by the start up bug so far”为that引导的定语从句,修饰先行词young person,结合语境和时间状语so far可知定语从句应用现在完成时。定语从句的关系代词that代替先行词在从句中作主语,从句谓语的人称和数应与先行词保持一致,先行词为单数,且前边有the only修饰,则定语从句的谓语应用第三人称单数形式。由固定短语be bitten by the...bug(热衷于……,对……着迷)可知that与bite之间为被动关系,应用被动语态,故填has been bitten。
5.investment 考查名词。由空后的“and support”可知设空处与“support”为and连接的并列成分,作getting的宾语,则设空处应用名词;由语境可知此处表示“投资”,故填investment。注意investment表示“投资”时为不可数名词。
6.luckily 考查副词。设空处作状语,应用副词。lucky的副词形式为luckily,表示“幸运地”。
7.to learn 考查动词不定式。have a lot to do意为“有许多要做的事”,其中to do作定语修饰a lot。故填to learn。
8.a 考查冠词。a number of许多,若干。
9.Seeing 考查现在分词。分析句子结构可知,“Zhang has mixed feelings”为主句,has为主句谓语,“ 9 her peers...independence”在句中作状语,则设空处应用非谓语动词形式,Zhang与see之间为逻辑上的主动关系,因此用现在分词短语作状语。
10.realistic 考查形容词。设空处作系动词be的表语,且根据语境可知设空处表示“现实的”,故用形容词realistic。
Ⅱ.A
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了几种通过出租闲置停车位和车库、闲置房间和屋顶等方式来赚钱的方法。
1.C 细节理解题。根据Make money during special events部分中的“If you live in the capital, renting a room out during the Olympics or other big events could bring in money. Grashpadder can advertise your space.”可知,在Grashpadder上可以贴出在大型活动期间出租房间的广告。故选C。
2.D 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“However, you have to sign a 25 year agreement with the supplier, which could prevent you from changing the roof.”可知,如果你想使用免费能源,你必须在25年内保持屋顶不变。故选D。
3.C 推理判断题。文章主要介绍了几种通过出租闲置停车位或车库、闲置房间和屋顶等方式来赚钱的方法,由此可推知,这篇文章最可能是为房子的主人写的。故选C。
【高频词汇】 1.for free 免费地 2.short term adj.短期的
3.bring in赚得;挣 4.register v.登记 5.charge v.收费
6.in return作为回报
【差距词汇】 lodger n.房客,租房人
长难句 原句 Not only will a lodger earn you an income, but also, thanks to the government backed “rent a room” program, you won’t have to pay any tax on the first £4,500 you make per year.
分析 Not only...but also...连接两个并列分句,第一个分句使用了倒装结构。“you make per year”为省略了关系词的定语从句,修饰the first £4,500。
译文 房客不仅能给你带来收入,而且,由于政府支持的“租房”计划,你每年赚的前4,500英镑不用缴税。

◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲的是青少年Ke’Nyzjah Ferebee在父母的支持下,在家自学制作蛋糕,并且在网络平台售卖,很受欢迎,获得了自主创业的成功。
4.B 推理判断题。根据文章第一段的内容尤其是其中的动作描写“standing by the kitchen worktop(站在厨房操作台旁边)”“adding cupcake liners to a pan(往烤盘里加纸杯蛋糕衬垫)”“used an ice cream spoon to fill each with cake batter(用冰淇淋勺把每个蛋糕纸杯填满蛋糕面糊)”可知第一段主要描述了Ke’Nyzjah Ferebee是如何一步步准备生日聚会的蛋糕的。由此可知,B项“(Ke’Nyzjah在)为生意做蛋糕”符合文意。
5.A 推理判断题。根据第一段最后两句“The cupcakes were for a...birthday party. The next day, she had orders for a two tiered cake and two birthday cakes.”可知,她在准备订单的蛋糕,第二天她还有其他订单。再结合第二段最后一句“She requires at least two to four weeks’ notice on orders, and she gets six to seven a week.(她要求订单至少提前两周到四周通知,而她每周会收到六到七份订单。)”和倒数第二段中的“It’s a little difficult...and a business. It can be a lot sometimes”可知,KayKe Bakery收到的订单很多。由此可知她的店很受欢迎,故选A。
6.D 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“It’s a little difficult to keep up with both my Instagram and my Facebook pages and manage school, personal life and a business. It can be a lot sometimes, but I manage.(要同时关注我的Instagram和Facebook页面,还要兼顾学校、个人生活和蛋糕店,这有点困难。有时事情会很多,但我做到了。)”可知,Ke’Nyzjah面临的一个挑战是平衡她的事业和学业。故选D。
7.A 主旨大意题。文章第一段主要描写Ke’Nyzjah是如何做蛋糕的;第二段介绍了她是怎样经营蛋糕店的以及其制作的蛋糕受欢迎的程度;第三、四段介绍的是她创业过程中的艰辛,但她最终克服了困难;最后一段讲述了父母对她的支持。由此可知,本文主要讲的是Ke’Nyzjah Ferebee在家自己制作蛋糕,并在网上售卖,生意火爆的故事,故选A(一个以家庭为基地的青少年面包师)。
【高频词汇】 1.identical adj.完全相同的,一模一样的
2.hang out 闲逛 3.specialize v.专门从事或研究
4.boredom n.无聊;厌烦 5.come up with 想出
6.specialist n.专家 7.get through完成 8.influential adj.有很大影响的 9.credit n.赞扬;称赞;认可
长难句 原句 Once I got on Instagram and started seeing other people’s decorated cakes, I got inspired to be a cake artist instead of just a baker.
分析 Once引导时间状语从句。
译文 我一登上Instagram并开始看到其他人装饰的蛋糕,我就受到启发想要成为一名蛋糕艺术家,而不仅仅是一名面包师。
Ⅲ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要给自主创业的人们提出了一些建议。
1.C 过渡句。根据本文标题及下文的几个小标题并结合空前内容可知,本文讲的是创业的建议。分析选项可知C项(下面的这些建议也许能帮助你创业。)总括文章第一段的内容并引起下文中的建议,起承上启下的作用。故选C。
2.G 细节句。根据小标题“做一份企划书。”及本段内容可知本段讲的是创业的第一个建议:做企划书。G项(除非你出示一份详细的企划书,否则银行是不会考虑贷款给你的。)介绍了企划书的重要性,与本段内容一致,说明了必须做企划书的原因,且G项中的“a detailed business plan”是对本段小标题中的“a business plan”和本段中的“a realistic business plan”的复现。下一段第一句中的“Once you have a detailed business plan”也给出了提示。故选G。
易错归因 本题易因D项中的“make a business plan”而错选D项,D项虽然与本段有相同的关键词,但D项只是强调了做企划书很重要,没有说明其为什么重要,而空前也没有提到原因,与D项中的So不对应,故排除D项。
3.A 主旨句。根据本段中的“go and see the bank manager”“shop around to find which bank offers the best deal”和“Make sure what you’re getting is right for you and your business.”可知本段讲的是“找银行贷款”,结合选项可知A项(获得资金。)符合本段主旨,能概括本段内容。故选A。
4.E 细节句。根据本段内容可知本段提的建议是要熟悉相关法律。结合下文“can be understanding all the legislation”及选项可知E项(要确保你是依法正确经营你的公司的。)符合文意。故选E。
5.F 细节句。根据本段小标题“Get yourself noticed.”及本段内容可知,本段提的建议是要把自己的公司宣传出去,让消费者知道你的企业的存在。空后举了一个具体事例来说明如何把自己的公司宣传出去,F项(选择如何打广告取决于企业的类型。)与空后内容衔接紧密,且F项中的“how to advertise”与本段小标题“Get yourself noticed.”对应,故选F。
【高频词汇】 1.set up立业 2.by no means绝不
3.draw up 起草,草拟 4.realistic adj.现实的,可行的
5.forecast n.预测;预报 6.strategy n.策略 7.confusing adj.令人迷惑的 8.deliver v.递送 9.option n.选择
