如何判断戏剧中的人物性格
戏剧常通过人物的语言、动作、神态等生动地刻画人物的性格。如第6题从剧中亨利的对白“I don't want your charity.I just want a job that earns an honest income.”可以判断出他是一个诚实的人。
(二)阅读表达

4．Why do you think the brothers chose Henry for their bet？(The answers may vary.)
|阅|读|技|能|提|升| 抓矛盾冲突，发掘主题内涵
戏剧的主要构成元素包括剧名(title of play)、场(scene)、人物(characters)、台词(lines of dialogue)和舞台说明(stage directions)。阅读戏剧应首先通过舞台说明把握故事发生的背景信息，然后分析台词，把握人物的性格特点、梳理剧情发展脉络，最终把握故事的矛盾冲突。如本文综合台词内容和舞台说明可知，这场戏剧主要反映了Oliver和Roderick两兄弟打赌之间的分歧以及亨利是否接受赌约的心理纠结，并最终被迫接受。
从语言风格来看，戏剧语言尤其注重性格化、情境化。在本文这场戏剧中，作者通过舞台说明介绍背景，对人物表演给出提示，增强了舞台气氛； 通过对话展示了两个富豪打赌的过程，生动地刻画了亨利正直、诚实、坦率、要强的性格，体现了金钱在不同人生活中的意义和重要性这一主题。此外，人物的措辞和表达方式也反映了其文化背景和社会地位的不同。
(一)赏用词之妙
1．May we ask what you're doing in this country and what your plans are
赏析：May用得恰到好处，对于初次见面的人，要询问对方问题，特别是较为私人的问题，用may“(表示请求，许可)可以”语气较为妥帖。
2．I'm afraid I don't quite follow you, sir.
赏析：follow 在本句中的意思是“理解；明白”，是熟词生义的用法。作者运用该词形象地描写了亨利对此事的不理解。
3．I just want a job that earns an honest income.
赏析：honest在此处表明了亨利诚实的性格，他只想找一份踏踏实实挣钱的工作，不想不劳而获。
①Hello！May I speak to the headmaster
你好！
②The plot is almost impossible to follow.
③It's quite a struggle to make an honest living.
(二)赏句式之高
1．They see a poor young man walking outside their house.It is Henry Adams.
赏析：首句使用了“see＋宾语＋宾语补足语(现在分词短语)”结构，形象生动地描绘出Henry巧合地出现在他们面前，并被选为合适人选的场景。
2．And it was the ship that brought you to England.
赏析：本句中用“it was ...that ...”这一强调句型对上句Henry 所讲的话进行强调确认。强调句型的特点是可以强调除谓语以外的句子成分，通常是主语、宾语或状语，而且去掉it is/was ...that/who ...后，句子的结构依然完整。恰当运用该句型可以增加文章的亮点。
3．That's why we've given you the letter.
赏析：本句中使用了“That's why ...”句型，其中why引导表语从句。此处具体生动地解释了Roderick给Henry这封信的原因。此句式属于高级句式，在文章中巧妙地使用此句式能使文章句式复杂多样，对要点的表述更加具体、生动、准确和全面，并能突出重点。
4．Well, why don't you explain what this is all about
赏析：本句中使用了what引导的宾语从句，简洁明了地表达出了Henry想知道真相的迫切心情。恰当运用 what 引导的名词性从句不仅显得句式多样，句子活泼，而且读起来结构紧凑，言简意明。
①As we drew closer, I could ____________________________ by a pack of dogs.
当我们走近时，我能看到一只羊正被一群狗攻击。
②______________________________________ when I was in trouble.
当我遇到麻烦的时候，是张教授帮助我摆脱了困境。
③They believe it is the time when the moon is at its fullest and brightest in the whole year.____________________ people celebrate the festival.
他们相信这是一年中月亮最圆、最亮的时候。那就是人们庆祝这个节日的原因。
④I wonder ____________________________.
我想知道他喜欢读什么书。
(三)赏描摹之韵
1．(动作描写)About a month ago, I was sailing, and towards night I found myself carried out to sea by a strong wind.The next morning I was spotted by a ship.
赏析：本句使用了was sailing, found myself carried out, was spotted等动作将亨利的遭遇简洁地介绍出来。逻辑清晰，语言凝练。
2．(神情描写)(The brothers smile at each other.)
(happily) What luck! Brother, what luck!
赏析：舞台说明性语言是戏剧语言的一部分，通过阅读说明性语言，读者可以丰富对剧本的理解，画面感更强。上面两句话反映出他们对实现打赌一事的心中的喜悦。
①He smiled, his eyes full of laughter.
他露出了笑容，________________________。
②Aleey became very happy now and a gentle smile spread over her face.
阿利现在变得很开心，__________________________________________。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Last year as I faced my 33rd birthday, it seemed like a good time to sit down and make a list of financial goals.Some were instantly doable, like spending less on food.(Goodbye，$7 organic strawberries.) Others were more ambitious：save enough cash for a down payment on an apartment; build a savings account for fun grown-up stuff like buying last-minute plane tickets to Tahoe.
One problem：These things required more money than I was making.The other problem：In this economy, it wasn't realistic to expect a huge raise.Suddenly, my future started to look like an ever-narrowing tunnel.Without a big increase in cash flow, how was my amazing life supposed to start Obviously, I was doomed.
I loved my job, I loved my boss, but I'd spent my 20 seconds closing up shop at the office every night when I knew I should have been playing harder and taking more risks.I'd built a career I was proud of, but realized I couldn't view a paycheck as my final reward.
Finally, I made a decision.I'd give myself a happiness raise and bring into my life more of the good things that money can't buy (and that I'd been denying myself), and less of the stuff that didn't have much real value.
The first step was to do a serious accounting, calculating where I'd been spending my time and energy and noting how much joy I was netting on a daily basis.The results didn't surprise me：so many have-tos and must-dos, so few moments of real enjoyment.
I set a new rule：Anytime the word “should” flashed across my mind, I hit the brakes.Did I really want to attend this baby shower or join that book club Often I didn't — so I respectfully said no, and found that the world didn't end.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者33岁时反思自己生活的财务分配，发现问题后决定给生活做减法，把更多金钱买不到的好东西带进自己的生活。
1．Why did the author say goodbye to $7 organic strawberries
A．He was on a diet.
B．He couldn't afford them.
C．He didn't like them any more.
D．He planned to cut down the food expense.
解析：细节理解题。由第一段中的“Some were instantly doable, like spending less on food.(Goodbye，$7 organic strawberries.)”可知，作者对7美元的有机草莓说再见，是因为作者计划削减食品开支。故选D。
√
2．What was the difficulty with the author's ambitious financial goals
A．He was making little money.
B．It was difficult for him to get promoted.
C．He couldn't save more money for his amazing life.
D．His future seemed like an ever-narrowing tunnel.
√
解析：推理判断题。由第二段的内容可知，一方面，需要花的钱多于作者能挣的钱；另一方面，作者的工资不太可能会涨，故可推知作者再也攒不出更多的钱来过他那令人惊叹的生活了，这是作者要实现雄心勃勃的财务目标面对的困难。故选C。
3．According to the text, which can give the author more happiness
A．Joining a book club.
B．Attending a baby shower.
C．Buying last-minute plane tickets.
D．Spending the weekends with his loved family.
√
解析：推理判断题。由第四段中的“I'd give myself a happiness raise and bring into ...less of the stuff that didn't have much real value”和最后一段中的“Did I really want to ...I respectfully said no, and found that the world didn't end”可知，作者要把更多金钱买不到的好东西带进自己的生活，D项是金钱买不到的幸福，A项和B项是作者会拒绝的行动，C项没有太多真正价值，不符合作者提升幸福的想法。故选D。
4．What can we infer from the text
A．Birthday is a good time to set a goal.
B．We need to learn to say no to something.
C．The author celebrated his birthday by making financial goals.
D．The author decided to make more money for his amazing life.
√
解析：推理判断题。由第四段中的“I'd give myself a happiness raise and bring into ...less of the stuff that didn't have much real value”和最后一段可知，作者想让自己更幸福，并将少做一些没有真正价值的事，所以作者开始说“不”，由此可得出，要想生活幸福，就要学会对生活中不必要的事情说“不”。故选B。
B
Andrew White brings his four-legged friends Oliver and Amore to his neighborhood Petco pet stores in San Diego for a little takeout.He has brought the pair to a kibble refill station (宠物食品补给站) that allows owners to use their own containers (容器)．
“It's more affordable for everyone，” he said.
Like the price of many things these days, the price of owning a pet has been increasing.A report on petfoodindustry.com finds the cost of feeding household animals was up about 6% in March over last year.The overall pet category saw a 7.5% increase compared to last March.The American Pet Products Association says a record $123.6 billion was spent in the US last year on pets.A survey shows 70% of American families now include a pet of some kind.
In Kansas City, the KC Pet Project is seeing animals surrendered because of their owners' money problems.“It is sad to see a number of pets coming in through our doors，” said KC Pet Project Chief Communications Officer Tori Fugate.“People are calling us every week saying, ‘I don't want to leave my animal, but I can't find a place to live with it.’”
One big cost is vet (兽医) care.The KC Pet Project gave out more than $96,000 last year to help owners with medical bills.Recent findings from Consumers' Checkbook show costs differed widely from vet to vet in seven cities they listed.So they say if pet owners want to save money, do some checking first.“If you know that your pets are going to need certain treatment, you can call around and get prices, and then decide what to do next，” said Consumers' Checkbook Executive Editor Kevin Brasler.
In Florida, the Humane Society of Tampa Bay has increased its animal pantries (食品储藏室), so people can get free food for their dogs and cats.
“I believe things will get better，” said Sherry Silk, CEO of the Humane Society of Tampa Bay.“It's got to get better because the animals really need us.”
语篇解读：本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是养宠物的费用在上涨这个现象。
5．What do the numbers in paragraph 3 mainly show
A．Keeping pets is still popular in the US.
B．The costs for pets are rising in the US.
C．Most Americans have difficulty keeping pets.
D．Many Americans are careful about having pets.
√
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Like the price of many things these days ... $123.6 billion was spent in the US last year on pets.”可知，第三段中的数字主要说明了在美国，养宠物的费用正在上升。
6．What does the underlined word “surrendered” in paragraph 4 mean
A．Hunted for. B．Looked over.
C．Given up. D．Handed out.
√
解析：词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“because of their owners' money problems”和“It is sad to see a number of pets coming in through our doors”可知，画线词所在句子表示“在堪萨斯城，KC宠物项目看到一些动物因为主人的经济问题而被遗弃”。画线词surrendered的意思是“遗弃”，和given up意思相近。
7．What can pet owners do to treat their pets according to Kevin
A．Ask for medical prices first.
B．Choose a big local pet hospital.
C．Call the KC Pet Project for help.
D．Get different vets to examine them.
√
解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的“‘If you know that your pets are ... next，’ said Consumers' Checkbook Executive Editor Kevin Brasler.”可知，根据凯文的说法，宠物主人可以首先询问医疗价格。
8．What is Sherry's attitude to pets' future
A．Uncertain. B．Worried.
C．Hopeful. D．Doubtful.
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容可知，雪莉对宠物的未来是充满希望的。
√
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Teenagers earning money
In the United States, you can only get a full-time job if you are 16 years old or older.But there are things that teenagers can do to earn some spending money.Here are a few ideas.
Parents with young children sometimes want to go out for dinner or to the movies, but they don't want to leave their children alone. 9 If the children go to bed early, you can do some of your homework!

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Last year as I faced my 33rd birthday, it seemed like a good time to sit down and make a list of financial goals.Some were instantly doable, like spending less on food.(Goodbye，$7 organic strawberries.) Others were more ambitious：save enough cash for a down payment on an apartment; build a savings account for fun grown up stuff like buying last minute plane tickets to Tahoe.
One problem：These things required more money than I was making.The other problem：In this economy, it wasn't realistic to expect a huge raise.Suddenly, my future started to look like an ever narrowing tunnel.Without a big increase in cash flow, how was my amazing life supposed to start Obviously, I was doomed.
I loved my job, I loved my boss, but I'd spent my 20 seconds closing up shop at the office every night when I knew I should have been playing harder and taking more risks.I'd built a career I was proud of, but realized I couldn't view a paycheck as my final reward.
Finally, I made a decision.I'd give myself a happiness raise and bring into my life more of the good things that money can't buy (and that I'd been denying myself), and less of the stuff that didn't have much real value.
The first step was to do a serious accounting, calculating where I'd been spending my time and energy and noting how much joy I was netting on a daily basis.The results didn't surprise me：so many have tos and must dos, so few moments of real enjoyment.
I set a new rule：Anytime the word “should” flashed across my mind, I hit the brakes.Did I really want to attend this baby shower or join that book club Often I didn't — so I respectfully said no, and found that the world didn't end.

1．选D 细节理解题。由第一段中的“Some were instantly doable, like spending less on food.(Goodbye，$7 organic strawberries.)”可知，作者对7美元的有机草莓说再见，是因为作者计划削减食品开支。故选D。
2．选C 推理判断题。由第二段的内容可知，一方面，需要花的钱多于作者能挣的钱；另一方面，作者的工资不太可能会涨，故可推知作者再也攒不出更多的钱来过他那令人惊叹的生活了，这是作者要实现雄心勃勃的财务目标面对的困难。故选C。
3．选D 推理判断题。由第四段中的“I'd give myself a happiness raise and bring into ...less of the stuff that didn't have much real value”和最后一段中的“Did I really want to ...I respectfully said no, and found that the world didn't end”可知，作者要把更多金钱买不到的好东西带进自己的生活，D项是金钱买不到的幸福，A项和B项是作者会拒绝的行动，C项没有太多真正价值，不符合作者提升幸福的想法。故选D。
4．选B 推理判断题。由第四段中的“I'd give myself a happiness raise and bring into ...less of the stuff that didn't have much real value”和最后一段可知，作者想让自己更幸福，并将少做一些没有真正价值的事，所以作者开始说“不”，由此可得出，要想生活幸福，就要学会对生活中不必要的事情说“不”。故选B。
