Question

16．Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance （pocket money）．The purpose is to let children learn from experiences at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly．
The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family．Timing is another consideration．Some children get a weekly allowance．Others get a monthly allowance．
     In any case，parents should make clear what，if anything，the child is expected to pay for with the money．At first，young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it．If they do this，they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget （預算）．Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance．The object is to show young people that a budget demands a choice between spending and saving．Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs，like clothing or electronics．
   Many people who have written on the subject of allowances say it is not a good idea to pay your child for work around the home．These jobs are a normal part of family life．Paying children to do extra work around the house，however，can be useful．It can even provide an understanding of how a business works．
     Allowances give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with money．They can share it in the form of gifts or giving to a good cause．They can spend it by buying things they want．Or they can save it．
     Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice．You have to cut costs and plan for the future．Requiring children to save part of their allowances can also open the door to future saving and investing．Many banks offer services to help children and teenagers learn about personal finance．A saving account is an excellent way to learn about the power of compound interest．
     Compounding works by paying interest．So，for example，one dollar invested at two percent interest for two years will earn two cents in the first year．The second year，the money will earn two percent of one dollar and two cents，and so on．That may not seem like a lot，but over time it adds up．
32．Parents give their children allowances in order toC．

解答 CDAC
32：答案 C 細節(jié)理解題．由第一段"Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance（pocket money）．The purpose is to let children learn from experiences at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly．"可知，父母給孩子零花錢是為了讓他們從小就通過實踐理解到金錢的價值，故正確答案為C．33：答案 D主旨大意題．第二段"The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family．Timing is another consideration．Some children get a weekly allowance．Others get a monthly allowance．"大意為"父母給孩子零花錢的多少每個家庭都會不同，時間也是一方面考慮，有的孩子一周得到一次零花錢，有的孩子一月一次"．由此可知，第二段介紹的是給孩子零花錢時所考慮的因素，故正確答案為D．
34：答案 A  細節(jié)理解題．由第三段倒數(shù)第二句"Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance．The object is to show young people that a budget demands a choice between spending and saving．"可知，父母應該按計劃給孩子發(fā)零花錢，目的是為了讓孩子們知道，消費和儲蓄之間存在選擇．即幫助孩子學著做預算，故正確答案為A．
35：答案 C 主旨大意題．文章主要講通過給孩子零花錢來教育孩子怎樣合理使用零花錢，如買想要的東西，存起來等等，從而培養(yǎng)孩子的金錢觀念，所以C項正確．A項，限制零花錢的方法，偏離文章主旨，所以A項錯誤．B項，對家庭預算的建議，偏離文章主旨，所以B項錯誤．D項，合理地給孩子發(fā)零用錢，只是文章一部分內(nèi)容，所以D項錯誤．故正確答案為C．

點評 任何一種閱讀方法或技巧的使用，都是由篇章特點和試題本身的要求決定的，應根據(jù)不同的體裁和試題要求采取不同的策略．
1、瀏覽．瀏覽的主要目的就是確定文章的體裁．如果文章屬于人物傳記、記敘文、故事、科普小品和有關社會文化、文史知識的文章，一般來說，應該先看看文章的試題考查內(nèi)容，對題目類型做到心中有數(shù)，針對不同問題，在通讀時有粗有細地去閱讀，這樣不僅能把握篇章的基本結構和邏輯線索，也能做好有關具體事實信息考查的試題．
2、挖掘寓意，掌握中心思想，推出結論．任何文章，作者在行文時都有一定的寫作目的和主要話題．在通讀篇章時應該吃透作者的寫作意圖，抓住文章的主題句，充分發(fā)揮自己的想象力和概括力，作出對中心思想的歸納和結論的推斷．
3、把握篇章結構，利用上下文進行推測．高考中的閱讀理解篇章往往是一個較完整的短文，其結構、思想，前后上下連貫統(tǒng)一．考試時應充分利用這一特點推測一些生詞、短語在句中的含義，切莫盲目孤立猜測．
4、綜觀全篇，前后呼應．這是閱讀理解的最后一步，在做完閱讀理解題后，要立足于文章整體，再迅速讀一遍短文，短文中的問題和答案的設置前后都是相關聯(lián)的，有著一定的連續(xù)性，體現(xiàn)著文章的基本脈絡．
