Passage 1 (选自大纲样题)

Teaching Children to Spend Pocket Money Wisely(选自Unit 6,Text A)

① School-going children need pocket money for food, stationery and bus fares. Parents give pocket money to their children in different ways. Some give a lump sum at the beginning of a month or a week. Others prefer to give pocket money on a daily basis. 26 On the other hand, the children‘s spending habits may affect how pocket money is given.

② Pocket money given on a daily basis is sometimes termed as ―food money‖. Children usually use the pocket money to buy food during recess(休息) and also at lunch hour if they have school activities in the afternoon. They learn how to manage small sums of money. 27 Some parents choose this method of allocating pocket money in order to prevent their children from overspending, hoping that in time they can be trusted with larger sums of money.

③ Giving pocket money on a daily basis places responsibilities of budgeting on the parents, instead of the child. The child may spend every single cent of the daily pocket money by overindulging in junk food as they know they will get another sum of money the next day. This results in children being shortsighted in their spending. The thought of saving money never crossed their minds. 28 Others spend more than they are given. They borrow from their siblings or their classmates when they feel like indulging themselves. Then they may ask for money to pay off their debts. This habit of borrowing causes them to depend on others to solve their problems. In such instances, the purpose of rationing is defeated.

④ Children need to learn how to budget their money. The key to doing this is to differentiate between needs and wants. 29 This habit, when inculcated since young, stands them in good stead when they start working and earning their own money. It enables them to resist the temptation of ―buy now and pay later‖ schemes.

Formation of any habit starts at a tender age. There is no better way to teach children to manage money than to start with their pocket t money. They need to learn the importance of budgeting right from kindergarten days. 30 When children learn to spend within their means, they are able to manage their finances well later in their lives.

A. It is a good idea to start with daily pocket money and move on to monthly pocket money. B. The way in which pocket money is given affects how money is spent or saved. C. Buy the necessary first, and indulge ourselves only if there is money left.

D. As the money is limited, they have to control their spending.

E. Parents who earn daily wages may also opt for this due to financial constraints. F. They may develop the mentality(心态,意识) that money is meant to be spent. 26. 【答案】B

【解析】根据空格前出现的way和give,后面出现的give,spend和affect,这些都是解题线索,应引起考生的注意,这是答题的关键。前面提到父母给孩子零花钱的不同方式,后面提到孩子的花钱习惯影响父母给他们零花钱的方式。只有B(给零花钱的方式影响花钱和攒钱的方式)才能更好地衔接上下文。

27. 【答案】D

【解析】第二段主要讲父母每天给孩子一次零花钱对孩子的影响。They learn how to manage small sums of money. 27 Some parents choose this method of allocating pocket money in order to prevent their children from overspending,…空格前提到孩子如何花手中有限的钱,后面提到一些父母使用这种方法来控制孩子的过度消费,可知应选D。注意D中的limited和空格前的small呼应,control和空格后的prevent呼应,体现了内容的一致性。

28. 【答案】F

【解析】第三段主要讲这种提供零花钱的方式对孩子的花钱习惯带来的负面影响。The thought of saving money never crossed their minds. 28 Others spend more than they are given.空格前提到这种方式使孩子从来没有想过要攒钱,后面提到一些孩子会过度消费,甚至借钱。只有F提到了“孩子会养成一种钱就是用来花的观念”。另外F项中的they may develop…和下文的they may ask for…结构上一致。

29. 【答案】C 【解析】第四段主要讲述了孩子养成规划开支习惯的重要性。The key to doing this is to differentiate between needs and wants. 29 This habit, when inculcated(灌输) since young, stands them in good stead when they start working…空格前讲到学会规划开支的关键是区分需求和需要。C项(先购买必须的,只有当钱有结余时才去享受)是对前句的进一步解释。

30. 【答案】A

【解析】最后一段是对全文的总结,讲述了从小养成理财习惯的重要性。They need to learn the importance of budgeting right from kindergarten days. 30 When children learn to spend within their means, they are able to manage their finances well later in their lives.空格前指出从幼儿园时就要学会规划零花钱的重要性,后面的内容指出从小养成理财习惯有益于未来个人的财务管理,空格中应该就是这种方法—从每天的零花钱开始攒起,慢慢到每月的零花钱。

小贴士:所填的句子起着承上启下的作用,看懂上下句是解题的关键,同时注意看上下句中的关键词,会有呼应现象。还要注意观察同段的句子结构等细节内容。

Passage 2 (选自Self-Assessment 2)

Mistakes Are a Must on the Road to Success

① When Kamprad was a teenager, he became interested in a pro-Nazi group run by a Swedish fascist activist by the name of Per Engdahl. He not only attended group meetings but also raised funds and recruited members to the group between 1942 and 1945. It is unknown when Kamprad quit the group. 26 This part of Kamprad‘s past remained hidden until 1994,when Engdahl‘s personal letters were made public after his death.

② ―This is part of my life I bitterly regret,‖ said Kamprad. ―After a couple of meetings in pure Nazi style, I quit.‖ In a letter he wrote to employees titled ―The Greatest Mistake of My Life,‖ Kamprad apologized to IKEA宜家家居(瑞典公司)employees of Jewish heritage and asked for their forgiveness. 27 Following its publication, Kamprad said in an interview, ―Now I have told all I can. Can one ever get forgiveness for such stupidity?‖

③ 28 ―That was the biggest blunder I‘ve made in my entire life, and I regret it deeply,‖ he said ―I have said sorry, many times, but it has left an unremovable mark on my conscience that continually haunts me and perhaps it‘s best this way.‖ Joining the Nazi group would be a mistake that he would be paying for on a personal level 就个人角度来说for the rest of his life. 29 He was criticized and he was attacked in the media, but sales at IKEA continued to increase. His popularity actually rose following the incident because of the honesty with which he dealt with the after-effect后果.

④ Experience has taught Kamprad that not only could the business world be forgiving of his mistakes, but that it was those very mistakes that could end up moving mountains. 30 Working in Almhult, Gillis Lundgren, a new employee, had been standing beside a car with a colleague, trying to figure out how to get a bulky庞大的 wooden table into the back of it. Finally, against company policy, Lundgren said, ―Oh God, then, let‘s pull off the legs and put them underneath.‖ It was with that simple statement that IKEA would reorient itself towards the flat design production for which it has become famous today.

⑤ ―IKEA is not completely perfect,‖ said Kamprad. ―We are going the right way to becoming it, for sure,

but we are not there yet.‖

A. Kamprad had made a crucial mistake in sympathizing with Nazi‘s in his teenage years- B. However, he remained friends with Engdahl well into the 1950s.

C. However, professionally, Kamprad had been left relatively unharmed. . D. Indeed, the success of IKEA can be traced back to a simple mistake in 1956. E. Kamprad was arrested soon after the war was ended.

F. He also devoted two chapters to the incident in his 1998 book, ―The History of IKEA.‖ 26. 【答案】B

【解析】根据第一段最后一句的信息,直到1994年,由于Engdahl的私人信件被公开,Kamprad的那段过去才被发现。Engdahl之前都没有提到过,可以推断空格处的句子会对这个人的情况有所介绍。而且空格前后都有表示时间的短语,故选择B。

27. 【答案】F

【解析】根据空格处后面一句中的开头following its publication可知,这里的its是对前一句中某个词的替代;再根据句意,应该是有书被出版,故选择F。

28. 【答案】A

【解析】根据后面一句提到That was the biggest blunder I‘ve made in my entire life,可以看出这里的that是对前一句的指代,根据文意,那个巨大的错误应该是指他青年时期对纳粹的同情。故选择A。

29. 【答案】C

【解析】第三段前半部分讲了Kamprad所犯的错误和他的懊悔。而后半段讲了宜家的销售成绩却因为他的诚实应对不减反升。由此可以看出空格处的句子应该是有转折意味、承上启下的句子,故答案为C。而且C项中的professionally和前句中的on a personal level是对立的,空格后讲到He was criticized and he was attacked in the media。

30. 【答案】D

【解析】第四段追溯了宜家如何改变设计方向的历史,故选择D。 Passage 3 (选自Self-Assessment 3)

The Rise of the Toilet Texter

① We know where some of you are reading this.

② A recently released survey of the mobile phone habits of Americans, going where few other surveys care to go, has found that 75 percent of the ordinary people have used their mobile devices while on the toilet. 26

③ The survey of l,000 people by the marketing agency 11mark found that private contemplation沉思,冥想 has given way to toilet-time talking, texting, shopping, using apps(应用软件,application的缩写), or just surfing the Web, by both sexes and most ages. 27

④ It gets weirder. One-quarter of Americans say they will not go to the bathroom without their devices. While 63 percent have answered calls, 41 percent have called someone else while enthroned. Sixteen percent in the 28-to-35 group, the youngest sample surveyed, have made purchases there. A mere 8 percent of the oldest group has felt such retail urgency. Understandably, given their infrequent chances at privacy, people with children are more likely to talk on the phone than are the childless. 28

⑤ Hope you are sitting down for this: 20 percent of males have at one time joined a conference call from the

toilet. Thirteen percent of American women have participated in meetings from the toilet. 29 Be grateful that location-based tracking is not yet so prevalent. Be worried about the rise of video on mobile devices. Ignore all background noises. Really.

⑥ This is, in a sense, an evidence to our collective passion for communication and contact over all other needs, and a lesson in how quickly ideas of decorum(礼貌得体) adjust to the times. 30 If someone is making or taking calls while on the toilet, they are most likely using a BlackBerry. Using an app or playing on Facebook most often is done on an iPhone. In general, Android owners are more likely than owners of other phones to use them on the toilet.

A. It is also a decent read on brand-related habits.

B. That is every fifth male co-worker, and every eighth female colleague.

C. Among those 65 and older, however, only 47 percent have used their mobile devices on the toilet. D. Married people are far more likely than the single to text. E. Single people are far more likely than the mated to text. F. Among those aged 28 to 35, the figure is 91 percent. 26. 【答案】F

【解析】综合比较五个选项只有C或F可能入选。根据常识可知,使用手机的大多数为年轻人,所以这个统计数字应是面向年轻人的,由此可以判断F最符合,答案为F。

27. 【答案】C 【解析】第三段还是在用一些研究数据表明在厕所使用手机的现象。最后指出这种现象存在于男女老幼之中,因此本空可以考虑选入C项,即老年中使用手机的还是占少数。

28. 【答案】E

【解析】第四段提到了有了孩子的家庭中,在打电话上花费的时间比没有孩子的要多。由此我们可以判断出单身的人比有了配偶的人花在短信上的时间要多。因此选E。

29. 【答案】B

【解析】第五段前两句Hope you are sitting down for this: 20 percent of males have at one time joined a conference call from the toilet. Thirteen percent of American women have participated in meetings from the toilet.讲到20%的男性有过一次参加从厕所打来的电话会议的经历,13%的女性曾经参加过从厕所打来的电话会议的经历。所以本段的关键词是male和female,由此可以推出B项最符合。

30. 【答案】A

【解析】第五段空格后面列举了人们在卫生间里利用蓝莓手机打电话,用苹果手机浏览网页,使用安卓的人还是最多的。这些信息与A项中的decent read和habit相关联。答案为A。
