解答 71-75BDGEA
71.B.考查上下文的理解能力.通過前面一句Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance可知,孩子通過收零花錢而了解金錢的價值,那么接下來要敘述的應該是這樣做的目的;故選B.
72.D.考查上下文的理解能力.由最后一句Others get a monthly allowance可知,前面列舉的是孩子獲得零花錢的頻率,所以選D.
73.G.考查上下文的理解能力.根據(jù)后面的分析they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget.可知,只有很快將零花錢花光了才會體會到在預算計劃內消費的艱難;故選G.
74.E.考查上下文的理解能力.前面提到Paying children to do extra work around the house,however,can be useful讓孩子做家庭之外的一些工作來獲得報酬是有用的,那么E項就是介紹的這樣做的用途;故選E.
75.A.考查上下文的理解能力.通過前面一句可知,這是分析的零花錢可以讓孩子有機會體驗金錢的三個用處,下面列舉了兩個用處,那么A項正好與之相吻合.故選A.
