試題分析：本文講述了一個哲理小故事。在故事中想要定居下來的人們需要水源，于是首領派出了三群人分別去查看周圍地區(qū)。這些派出去的人有的發(fā)現(xiàn)了植物，有的發(fā)現(xiàn)了動物，有的發(fā)現(xiàn)了魚。但是當回來匯報的時候，他們卻固執(zhí)己見，因此而分道揚鑣，各自去了各自探索的地方，而沒有享受到共同的資源。

1.A動詞辨析。A. spending 花費，度過；B. costing花費；C. taking帶，花費D. losing 失去。固定短語：spend time doing sth“花時間做某事”，其他不構成搭配。

2.C動詞辨析。A. break打破；B. cool冷卻；C. settle定居；D. calm使冷靜。從上下文可知這群人在找個地方安家，由此推斷在走了很久之后他們安頓了下來。break down 機器出故障，身體垮掉；cool down 冷靜下來；冷卻下來；settle down 安頓下來；calm down 冷靜下來，答案選C。

3.B名詞辨析。 A. water 水；B. food食物；C. energies 精力，能源；D. information信息。根據(jù)下文內(nèi)容可知他們想找水，答案選B。

4.A動詞辨析。 A. explore 探索； B. clean 打掃；C. measure 測量；D. cover覆蓋。從上文可知他們要找到水源，所以此處是去周圍地方尋找，而且根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段內(nèi)容they each went to the place they had explored.可以判斷他們是去探索周圍地區(qū)，答案選A。

5.D 詞語辨析。A. same 同樣； B. a一個； C. /； D. different不同的。從下文內(nèi)容可知這三群人分別去了不同的方向，答案選D。

6.D形容詞辨析。 A. main 主要的；B. few 很少；C. poor窮的；D. many許多。根據(jù)下文內(nèi)容“We saw lots of vegetation ”可知他們看到了很多莊稼，水果和蔬菜，答案選D。

7.B名詞辨析。 A. experiences經(jīng)歷；B. findings發(fā)現(xiàn)；C. results結果； D. conditions條件。根據(jù)語境可知他們回去后匯報他們發(fā)現(xiàn)的情況，故答案選B。

8.A名詞辨析。 A. vegetarians 素食者； B. fishermen 漁民；C. hunters 獵人；D. miners礦工。根據(jù)上文內(nèi)容可知他們發(fā)現(xiàn)了許多植物，所以他們認為可以以植物為食，故答案選A。

9.C名詞辨析。 A. mountains山； B. people 人們； C. animals動物；D. houses房子。根據(jù)下文內(nèi)容We saw hundreds of animals可以判斷答案選C。

10.B. 動詞辨析。 A. prepare 準備；B. hunt狩獵；C. fight 打斗；D. wait等待。從上文內(nèi)容可知他們發(fā)現(xiàn)了很多動物，由此判斷他們認為可以獵殺動物為食，故答案選B。

11.A副詞辨析。A. mainly 主要地；B. partly部分地；C. fully完全地；D. hardly幾乎不。根據(jù)語境判斷他們認為有動物的存在，他們就可以主要以動物為食，故答案選A。

12.C動詞辨析。A. surfing沖浪；B. boating 劃船；C. fishing釣魚；D. swimming游泳。根據(jù)前句內(nèi)容We saw plenty of fish.可知他們認為可以打漁為生，答案選C。

14.D動詞辨析。A. going 去；B. sleeping睡覺；C. coming來；D. joking開玩笑。第三組人們既沒看到植物也沒看到動物，所以他們以為這兩組人們說的不是事實，故答案選D。句意：你們在開玩笑嗎？

16.B形容詞辨析。 A. strict 嚴格的；B. angry生氣的；C. sad難過的；D. pleased滿意的。從上下文內(nèi)容可知他們彼此不相信對方所講的話，而且又回到自己探索到的地方，由此判斷他們對別人都非常生氣，答案選B。

17.C形容詞辨析。A. sad 難過的；B. pleasant 愉快的；C. sure有把握的；D. anxious焦慮的。根據(jù)下文each group of people only chose to believe themselves.可知他們都對自己所發(fā)現(xiàn)的感到有把握，確信自己所看到的是對的，be sure of “對……有把握”，故答案選C。

18.C副詞辨析。 A. Happily 高興地；B. Luckily幸運地；C. Unluckily不幸地； D. Hopefully有希望地。從故事內(nèi)容可知他們沒能夠享受到共同發(fā)現(xiàn)的資源，這對他們來說是不幸的，故答案選C。

19.D連詞辨析。 A. After在之后；B. Because 因為；C. Before在之前；D. If如果。本句使用了虛擬語氣，所以此處是一種假設，故答案選D。

20.B. 動詞辨析。 A. admire羨慕； B. believe 相信；C. appreciate 感激； D. understand理解。根據(jù)上文內(nèi)容可知此處指：如果他們選擇互相學習，并且相信別人，那么他們會從中享受到所有美好的東西。選B。

After Mom died, I began visiting Dad every morning before I went to work. He was frail and moved slowly, but he always had a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice on the kitchen table for me, along with an unsigned note reading, “Drink your juice.” Such a gesture, I knew, was as far as Dad had ever been able to go in expressing his love. In fact, I remember, as a kid I had questioned Mom“ Why doesn't Dad love me!” Mom frowned. “Who said he doesn't love you!” “Well, he never tells me,” I complained. “He never tells me either,” she said, smiling. “But look how hard he works to take care of us, to buy us food and clothes, and to pay for this house. That's how your father tells us he loves us.” Then Mom held me by the shoulders and asked, “Do you understand?’’ I nodded slowly. I understood in my head, but not in my heart. I still wanted my father to put his arms around me and tell me he loved me. Dad owned and operated a small scrap（片）metal business, and after school I often hung around while he worked. I always hoped he'd ask me to help and then praise me for what I did. He never asked. His tasks were too dangerous for a young boy to attempt, and Mom was already worried enough that he'd hurt himself. Dad hand fed scrap steel into a device that chopped it as cleanly as a butcher chops a rack of ribs. The machine looked like a giant pair of scissors, with blades thicker than my father's body. If he didn't feed those terrifying blades just right, he risked serious injury. “Why don't you hire someone to do that for you?” Mom asked Dad one night as she bent over him and rubbed his aching shoulders with a strong smelling liniment. “Why don't you hire a cook? ”Dad asked, giving her one of his rare smiles.

Many years later, during my first daily visit, after drinking the juice my father had squeezed for me, I walked over, hugged him and said, “I love you, Dad.” From then on I did this every morning. My father never told me how he felt about my hugs, and there was never any expression on his face when I gave them.

I’m a real book lover. Every time my friends visit me, my nose is buried in a book. Wherever I go, I always have a book with me. Novels, history books, stories about people, journals and news—I read them all and I’ve learnt a lot, too. For example, many things in life happen for the best even if we don’t like or understand them.

Why is reading such an enjoyable pastime for me? I probably first learned about it from my parents. My mother read to me at night in my childhood and bought me picture books. The greatest gift she has given me is a love for reading. And it will be a life-long habit.

No one ever asked me why I liked to read. They just saw me and asked, “Oh? Is that for school work?” And I just shook my head, “No. It’s just for fun.” While reading a good book, I can totally forget myself and fly to another world. It’s like exploring through someone’s eyes, which is just as exciting as watching a movie.

Reading is also necessary in order to learn about writing, to improve my use of words and phrases and broaden my knowledge. What a pity to see our imagination disappear, for we don’t exercise it often. Reading can even be good for one’s health, I think. Everyone should read sad stories that make us cry and also books with humor that make us laugh out loud!

1.. Among the gifts my parents have given me, which is the most valuable one?

A. A love for reading. B. Picture books.

C. Good health. D. A lovable pastime.

2.. In the fourth paragraph, the author thinks reading can ____.

A. make his parents happy

B. finish his school work

C. improve writing and broaden knowledge

D. help him understand some movies

3.. If we don’t use our imagination often, ____.

A. it is bad for our healthB. we will soon learn how to write

C. it will help us to have a good restD. it will soon disappear

4.. What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. Why do I have few friends?B. What are my life habits?

C. Why do I love reading?D. Why do things happen for the best?

Today, we are talking about money. I can share a bit about my history with money and my new view when it comes to using green paper.

I made a web page with links to posts about our financial journey where you can look for more details of where we’ve been and how we got where we are now. It was a big part of my story in the past and was a huge part of our downsizing journey. We got out of debt and stayed out of debt.

So I feel eager to share the benefits of being on this side. It takes planning and more careful thought whenever a dollar is spent now than it did when I had a wallet full of credit cards. I now like to think all of my dollars having a job. So many of us work for money and don’t consider that money should work for us, too. Make your dollars do the job of helping you live the life you want.

Each time money is spent or saved, it should be going toward something that you purposefully want for your life. Last week I was out and I spent $20 on food in 3 days. It made me angry because afterward I thought about eating is not at all what for my life.

On the other hand, there are times I spend $20 while out with my family and it doesn’t bother me one bit. An afternoon out with my kids during which we stop for ice cream, and do something fun together has a completely different feel to it.

In the end, I want the dollars I spend to have purpose like I can enjoy life while still planning and saving for the future.

1.What do the underlined words “green paper” in Paragraph I refer to ______.

A. money B. work C. newspaper D. book

2.You can learn about the writer’s history with money ______.

A. by making a web page

B. by reading posts about their financial journey

C. by going on a financial journey

D. by writing to him

3.In the writer’s opinion, ________.

A. more credit cards should be used in our daily life

B. we should work hard to make more money

C. money should help us live better

D. saving money is very easy

4.Why did the writer feel happy with the money spent with his family?

A. Because the money is spent on food.

B. Because the money is spent in doing something fun.

C. Because eating is what he wanted for his life.

D. Because the money went toward something that he wanted for his life.
