In times of economic downturn, many people start to look for ways to reduce their household budget and save extra cash. Living a thrifty (節(jié)儉的) lifestyle does not have to mean doing nothing.   小題1:   Here are some tips.
Track your spending for at least 2 weeks. You won’t really know how to live a thriftier lifestyle until you know where your money is going. Write down every time you spend money and take a look at it at the end of the month.  小題2:
Search the Internet when you have to buy something. Because of the easy access to information, you can compare prices from more stores in less time.
 小題3: Combining producers’ coupons (優(yōu)惠券) with store discounts can lead to major savings.
Turn off the lights and other electronics in your home when you are not using them. 小題4:   Leaving electronics on can use a tremendous amount of extra energy, costing you money.
  小題5:  When you do have to go out, look for available deals and discounts. If you are a frequent restaurant diner, consider purchasing a guide book for local restaurants, which will help you save money.
A.Eat at home as often as possible.
B.You probably don’t really need 500 channels.
C.If you really can’t live without it, call the company.
D.Open a window and let in the natural light instead.
E. In this way, you will see obvious ways to reduce the small daily expenses.
F. So check your local stores as well as online providers to find the best price.
G. Instead, making small changes will allow you to save money and still enjoy yourself.

小題1:G
小題2:E
小題3:F
小題4:D
小題5:A

試題分析:本文給人們介紹了幾種減少家庭預算,節(jié)約開支的方法。比如做家庭記賬單,以便明確可減少的費用;購物前要上網(wǎng)查詢,與商店物品價格進行比較;再者要多利用自然光線,節(jié)約用電;而且盡量減少在外就餐次數(shù)。
小題1:G考查對上下文的推理判讀能力。從前后句可知此處為過渡性句子,用來引出下文要給的關于減少開支的幾點建議,而G選項中的making small changes 恰好與下文的建議相吻合,所以答案選G。
小題2:E考查對上下文的推理判讀能力。前面內(nèi)容都是關于如何對日;ㄙM進行記錄,所以根據(jù)段落的發(fā)展,最后應該是總結概括性句子,而E選項中的in this way和obvious ways恰恰能夠和上面內(nèi)容相呼應。故E選項正確。
小題3:F考查對上下文的推理判讀能力。上文建議要在網(wǎng)上查詢比較要買的貨物價格,所以此處也要和網(wǎng)上以及實體商店有關,而F選項中出現(xiàn)的 local store和online 等關鍵詞恰好就是正確選項的提示。故F為正確選項。
小題4:D考查對上下文的推理判讀能力。此處的前后信息都是講節(jié)約用電,而D選項中對于自然光的利用也和節(jié)約用電有關,所以正確選項為D。
小題5:A考查對上下文的推理判讀能力。由下文 restaurant 判斷,此處應該是和吃飯有關,本文著重介紹節(jié)約花費,所以A恰好為正確選項,意思是盡量要在家里吃飯。

Money Matters
Parents should help their children understand money.小題1:   So you may start talking about money when your child shows an interest in buying things, candy or toys, for example.
The basic function of money
Begin explaining the basic function of money by showing how people trade money for goods or services. It is important to show your child how money is traded for the things he wants to have. If he wants to have a toy, give him the money and let him hand the money to the cashier(收銀員). 小題2:    When your child grows a bit older and understands the basic function of money, you can start explaining more complex ways of using money.
Money lessons
Approach money lessons with openness and honesty. 小題3:    If you must say no to a child’s request to spend money, explain, “ You have enough toy trucks for now.” Or, if the request is for many different things, say, “You have to make a choice between this toy and that toy.”
小題4:    
Begin at the grocery store. Pick out two similar brands of a product---a name-brand butter and a generic (無商標產(chǎn)品),for example. You can show your child how to make choices between different brands of a product so that you can save money.小題5:    If he chooses the cheaper brand, allow him to make another purchase with the money saved. Later, you may explain how the more expensive choice leaves less money for other purchases.
A.Wise decisions
B.The value of money
C.Permit the child to choose between them.
D.Tell your child why he can –or cannot --- have certain things.
E. Ask yourself what things that cost money are most important to you
F. Talk about how the money bought the thing after you leave the toy store.
G. The best time to teach a child anything about money is when he shows an interest.

閱讀短文,按照題目要求用英語回答問題。(請注意問題后的詞數(shù)要求)
My name is Clara. I still remember that chilly December day, sitting in science class. I’d finished a worksheet early and picked up a TIME for Kids magazine. A piece of news caught my eye: NASA was holding an essay contest to name its Mars rover(火星探測器).Before I even knew anything else about it, a single word flooded my 11-year-old mind, Curiosity.
I couldn’t want for the bell to ring so I could get started on my essay. That afternoon, I raced home, sat down at the computer, and typed until my fingers ached. “Curiosity is an everlasting flame that burns in everyone’s mind...”
Five months later, my mom received a phone call, and immediately, a wide smile spread across her face.
On August 5,2012,at 10:31 p.m, the rover named Curiosity touched down safely on the surface of Mars, and I was honored to have a front-row seat in NASA.
Curiosity is such an important part of who I am. I have always been fascinated by the stars, the planets, the sky and the universe. I remember as a little girl, my grandmother and I would sit together in the backyard for hours. She’d tell me stories and point out the stars, Grandma lived in China, thousands of miles away from my home in Kansas, but the stars kept us together even when we were apart. They were always there, yet there was so much I didn’t know about them. That’s what I love so much about space.
People often ask me why we go to faraway places like Mares. My answer is simple because we’re curious. We human beings do not just hole up in one place. We are constantly wondering and trying to find out what’s over the hill and beyond the horizon.
小題1:How did Clara get the new about the essay contest?( no more than 10 words)
小題2:Why did Clara have a front-row seat in NASA?( no more than 10 words)
小題3:What does Clara remember about the time spent with Grandma?( no more than 15 words)
小題4:What does the underlined phrase “hole up”mean?(1 word)
小題5:In your opinion, why is curiosity important?( no more than 20 words)
