（7）考查副词。句意：研究发现，这些彩票中奖者可能不知道如何处理这么多钱，也没有从金融专家那里得到建议。exactly确切地；hardly几乎不；really真正地；completely完全地。根据"They waste money on things they don't need..."（他们把钱浪费在不需要的东西上......）及上文作者例举的两个例子可知，此处指不知道如何处理这些钱，故选B。
（8）考查动词。句意：他们把钱浪费在他们不需要的东西上，给朋友和亲戚太多的钱。give up放弃；give in屈服；give away赠送；give back归还。根据上文"She treated her family and friends to lavish gifts"（她送给家人和朋友丰厚的礼物及语境，）可知，此处指给朋友和亲戚太多钱，故选C。

Daniel shut the door behind him."I'm looking for her pig."
"Aunt Kim has a pig？" asked Evelyn，wide﹣eyed."She didn't show it to me."
Daniel and Evelyn were cousins.They were at Grandma's house for a family get﹣together.Right now，people were listening to each other play music on the front porch（门廊）.
Daniel said， "Aunt Kim asked me to bring her pig down to the porch.She said she always plays the guitar with it."
"Oh，her pig must be like my reading teacher's dog at school.When I'm reading to Coco，it's easier."Evelyn smiled."What's her pig's name？"
"She called it Lucky.She said it was pink，and she'd left it on her bed.But it wasn't there."
Evelyn said， "Pigs like to eat.Maybe somebody's giving Lucky a snack in the kitchen."
But the kitchen was empty of pigs and people.Just to be sure，they opened the pantry door and looked under the table.
They went on looking for Lucky inside the house.They checked around sofa s and chairs and bookcases."Here，Lucky!" But they couldn't find the pig.
Evelyn crossed her arms."I don't think Lucky is in somebody else's bedroom.The doors were all closed.Wouldn't you see a pig coming in when you were going out？"
"But Lucky is little.Aunt Kim told me she had looked in her purse，but the pig wasn't there， " said Daniel.
"She keeps a pig in her purse？Lucky must be really small，" Evelyn said."Are you sure it wasn't in Aunt Kim's room？"
"My cat hides under beds sometimes.Maybe Lucky does，too，" Daniel said.He led the way back upstairs.On his hands and knees，he lifted the blue and white quilt's（被子） edge."No pig here."
Meanwhile，Evelyn saw something pink and plastic on Aunt Kim's quilt.It was shaped almost like a triangle（三角形）."Daniel，did Aunt Kim ask you to get her guitar pig？Or did she say guitar pick？"
Her cousin shrugged."It was hard to hear her，because Dad and Uncle Mike were playing their fiddles（小提琴）.What's a guitar pick？"
Evelyn held up the pink triangle."Yesterday，before your family got here，Aunt Kim played the guitar for me.She was using this.I think it's called a guitar pick."
Daniel tilted his head."Well，it is pink，and it was on her bed..."
The fiddle music was over when the cousins walked onto the porch.Aunt Kim was talking to Grandma.Before the cousins could say anything.Aunt Kim said， "Oh thanks，you two!I really don't like playing without my lucky guitar pick."

（4）标题归纳题。通读全文可知，本文围绕Daniel将Aunt Kim说的"guitar pick"错听成"guitar pig"展开，因此D项"The guitar pig mystery"最适合。故选D。

（2）About 180 riders，400 fast horses，and 190 pony express stations.
（3）Five.
（4）Because of the opening of the telegraph.

【分析】本文主要介绍了19世纪60年代的快递服务——小马快递。
【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据第一段April 15，1860﹣A special day!The Pony Express，a fast mail delivery service，successfully completed its first journey from Saint Joseph in Missouri to Sacramento in California.（1860年4月15日——一个特别的日子！快马邮递，一个快速的邮件递送服务，成功地完成了它的第一次旅程，从密苏里州的圣约瑟夫到加利福尼亚州的萨克拉门托。）可知，小马快递第一次旅程结束时间是1860年4月15日。故填On April 15，1860.
（2）细节理解题。根据第三段About 180 riders，400 fast horses，and 190 pony express stations made up the pony express.（大约180名骑手、400匹快马和190匹小马快运站组成了小马快运。）可知，小马快递由大约180名骑手，400匹快马，190匹小马组成。故填About 180 riders，400 fast horses，and 190 pony express stations.
（3）推理判断题。根据第三段A day's work was made up of about a 75﹣mile trip，with stops at several stations.The stations were about 10 to 15 miles apart.（一天的工作包括大约75英里的旅程，在几个车站停留。两个站点相距大约10到15英里。）可知，75英里的旅程，两个站点相距大约10到15英里，75/15＝5，因此小马快递的骑手一天至少要经过5个站点。故填Five.
（4）细节理解题。根据第四段After only about 19 months，the service closed its doors because of the opening of the telegraph（电报）（仅仅19个月后，这项服务就因为电报的开通而关闭了）可知，小马快递关闭了是因为电报的开通。故填Because of the opening of the telegraph.
（5）主观表达题。我通常使用手机和远方的朋友交流。因为手机非常方便快捷。故填By phone.Because it is convenient and fast.

【答案】
What do we think of our homework？
Recently，our class has talked about "homework".We have different ideas about it.
Most students have positive attitudes towards homework.They think homework can not only help them go over what they've learnt before but also help them deal with the problems alone.Also，they think it's a student's duty to finish the homework and they need to plan their time carefully.Of course，they all think homework can improve their study and help them get high marks in the exams.Besides，finishing homework is also a correct attitude towards our study.
However，a few students don't think so.First，they think it takes so much time to do lots of homework that they have little time to rest or do anything they like.Second，they have to do the same boring exercises many times.As a result，they have no interest in homework anymore.And sometimes they can't keep a balance between homework and their hobbies.Some students even think that homework is the job of top students.
In my opinion，I think it's important for us to do our homework on time.Homework can help us consolidate our knowledge.Make a good plan before doing homework so that we can have more time for our interests.

"Tong，do you think there are a thousand krathongs out there tonight？"
"There （15） be at least ten thousand!"
Lek smiled sincerely.He hoped the river could hear the ten thousand wishes sailing from his heart for his sister that night.

Soon，Zhuangzi came."Have you heard of a bird called Yuan Chu in the south？" he asked Hui Shi."Every time it flies，it will rest only on the wutong trees，eat only the bamboo fruits，and drink only the spring water as sweet as fine wine.Once，an owl caught a rotten（腐烂的） mouse.When Yuan Chu flew past，the owl looked up and said， 'No way!'

2．（2024春 海安市二模） The oil paper umbrella is a traditional Chinese handicraft.It has a history of over 1，000 years in China.In early Tang Dynasty，it was introduced to Japan and Korea，so it was called the"Tang Umbrella".Later oil paper umbrellas were spread to other Asian countries，such as Vietnam，Thailand and Laos，and each had its own style.However，as steel﹣ribbed （钢骨的） umbrellas appeared in the last century，the hand﹣made oil paper umbrellas became less used in daily life.They were turned into decorative artifacts（装饰性工艺品）.
Yuhang in Hangzhou is known for making oil paper umbrellas for more than 230 years.They are mainly made of skin paper，bamboo，a coating of Tung oil.They need to take more than 70 steps to make，including making bamboo ribs，sticking papers and painting patterns.It takes at least a week to make per umbrella.In 2008，these umbrellas were added to Intangible Cultural Heritage List（非物质文化遗产名录） of China.
A young man called Liu Weixue learned the traditional art of making Yuhang oil paper umbrellas from his grandfather."I want to bring the art to life." Liu said.He improved the umbrellas to win the hearts of young people.As the traditional paper was easy to break，he started to use a kind of thicker paper.In a test，his umbrellas were opened and closed for 1，000 times without breaking.He used a kind of lighter bamboo to make the umbrellas weigh less.
Now Liu hopes the art can be passed on.He goes to local schools to teach students.He also goes to events in different places to make the art widely spread.

3．（2024春 海安市二模） Joe Gardner in the new movie Soul《心灵奇旅》 is a jazz lover and gifted piano player who teaches middle school band.He's trying to win success and get his mother to accept him.When he gets a chance to play with his role model，saxophonist （萨克斯管吹奏） Dorothea Williams，Joe thinks he's about to achieve his dream in life.
Then Joe falls down a hole.Finally，he finds himself in the Great Before，where new souls are prepared for life.It's also where Joe meets Soul Number 22.He's sent to help her find her spark— the passion（激情） that encourages her.But 22 isn't excited about anything till she begins to experience life for herself.
Seeing life through 22's eyes makes Joe understand something.He realizes that while music is one of his sparks，he also finds pleasure in helping others.By guiding 22，Joe gains an appreciation for the little things that make life meaningful.For example，22 gets her spark from common activities，like watching the sky.
The characters in Soul are all very interesting.Everyone has something the movie calls a"spark".The movie suggests that part of the beauty of life is in finding one's own spark，and in helping others to find theirs as well.Joe's piano pieces，played by musician Jon Batiste，are one of the best parts of the film.The music is impressive and full of feeling.It's easy to believe these works take Joe on a musical journey to another world.By hearing them，we are transported too.
I give Soul 9 points out of 10.The movie is thought exciting and encouraging.As the characters learn from one another，the viewer is invited to examine his or her own life.You'll want to watch this film again and again with those who know you best，so you can discuss your spark and why it makes you— you.

But the kitchen was empty of pigs and people.Just to be sure，they opened the pantry door and looked under the table.
They went on looking for Lucky inside the house.They checked around sofa s and chairs and bookcases."Here，Lucky!" But they couldn't find the pig.
Evelyn crossed her arms."I don't think Lucky is in somebody else's bedroom.The doors were all closed.Wouldn't you see a pig coming in when you were going out？"
"But Lucky is little.Aunt Kim told me she had looked in her purse，but the pig wasn't there， " said Daniel.
"She keeps a pig in her purse？Lucky must be really small，" Evelyn said."Are you sure it wasn't in Aunt Kim's room？"
"My cat hides under beds sometimes.Maybe Lucky does，too，" Daniel said.He led the way back upstairs.On his hands and knees，he lifted the blue and white quilt's（被子） edge."No pig here."
Meanwhile，Evelyn saw something pink and plastic on Aunt Kim's quilt.It was shaped almost like a triangle（三角形）."Daniel，did Aunt Kim ask you to get her guitar pig？Or did she say guitar pick？"
Her cousin shrugged."It was hard to hear her，because Dad and Uncle Mike were playing their fiddles（小提琴）.What's a guitar pick？"
Evelyn held up the pink triangle."Yesterday，before your family got here，Aunt Kim played the guitar for me.She was using this.I think it's called a guitar pick."
Daniel tilted his head."Well，it is pink，and it was on her bed..."
The fiddle music was over when the cousins walked onto the porch.Aunt Kim was talking to Grandma.Before the cousins could say anything.Aunt Kim said， "Oh thanks，you two!I really don't like playing without my lucky guitar pick." Evelyn handed it over，and Aunt Kim played a few times."I hope it wasn't hard to find."
