16.Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance.(71)B
The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family.Timing is another consideration.(72)DOthers get a monthly allowance.
In any case,parents should make clear what,if anything,the children is expected to pay for with the money.
(73)G If they do this,they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget.Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance.
The object is to show young people that a budget demands choices 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.(74)E
Allowances give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with money.(75)A They can spend it by buying things they want.Or they can save it.

A.They can share it in the form of gifts or giving to a good cause.
B.The purpose is to let children learn from experience at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly.
C.They are not less likely to make mistakes.
D.Some children get a weekly allowance.
E.It can even provide an understanding of how a business works.
F.Their parents will teach them a hard lesson.
G.At first,young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it.

分析 本文講述的是孩子處理零花錢的方式以及家長在錢的問題上如何教育孩子問題.同時,讓孩子懂得錢的來之不易,從而學會理財.

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.

點評 對于選句填空這種題型要搞明白上下文之間的邏輯關系,要根據(jù)對話者所說的語氣及語義關系來做出判斷;只要符合文章的結構、通順合理即可.

11.Everyone knows about straight-A students.We see them frequently in TV situation comedies and in movies like Revenge(報復)of the Nerds.They get high grades,all right,but only by becoming dull laborers,their noses always stuck in a book.They are not good at social communication and look clumsy while doing sports.
How,then,do we account for Domenica Roman or Paul Melendres?
Roman is on the tennis team at Fairmont Senior High School.She also sings in the choral group,serves on the student council and is a member of the mathematics society.For two years she has maintained A's in every subject.Melendres,a freshman at the University of New Mexico,was student-body president at Valley High School in Albuquerque.He played soccer and basketball well,exhibited at the science fair,and meanwhile worked as a reporter on a local television station.Being a speech giver at the graduation ceremony,he achieved straight A's in his regular classes,plus bonus points for A's in two college-level courses.
How do super-achievers like Roman and Melendres do it?Brains aren't the only answer."Top grades don't always go to the brightest students,"declares Herbert Walberg,a professor of education at the University of Illinois at Chicago,who has conducted major studies on super-achieving students."Knowing how to make the most of your innate(天生的)abilities counts for more.Much more."
In fact,Walberg says,students with high IQ sometimes don't do as well as classmates with lower IQ.For them,learning comes too easily and they never find out how to get down.
Hard work isn't the whole story,either."It's not how long you sit there with the books open,"said one of the many-A students we interviewed."It's what you do while you're sitting."Indeed,some of these students actually put in fewer hours of homework time than their lower-scoring classmates.
The kids at the top of the class get there by mastering a few basic techniques that others can readily learn.
73.What can we conclude from the first paragraph?B
A.Most TV programs and films are about straight-A students.
B.People have unfavorable impression on straight-A students.
C.Everyone knows about straight-A students from TV or films.
D.Straight-A students are well admired by people in the society.
74.Some students become super-achievers mainly becauseC.
A.they are born cleverer than others
B.they work longer hours at study
C.they make full use of their abilities
D.they know the shortcut to success
75.What will be talked about after the last paragraph?C
A.The interviews with more students.
B.The role IQ plays in learning well.
C.The techniques to be better learners.
D.The achievements top students make.

1.Linguistic(語言學的) Puzzles
         How did language begin?What was the world's first language?Do all languages come from one,original language?(71)E.
         In the 4th century BC,the Greek historian Herodotus wrote this account:Psamtik I an Egyptian King,wanted to find out what the oldest language in the world was(72)B..He told his servant to find two newborn babies.When the servant had found them,the king gave them to a shepherd (牧羊人) and said,"Keep these babies with the goats.Take care of them,but do not talk to them.Listen for any words that they say."The king wanted to find out what language the children would speak if they were left alone.He said,"The first words they speak will come from the original language of the world."

6.Americans get some of their news and entertainment from public television and radio.These public media receive money to operate from private citizens,organizations and government.Many of their programs are educational.But most of the American media are run by business for profit.These privately owned media have changed greatly in recent years.Newspapers,magazines and traditional broadcast television organizations have lost some of their popularity.At the same time,online,cable and satellite media have increased in numbers and strength.So have media that serve racial groups and those communicating in foreign languages.
In general,more media than ever now provide Americans with news and entertainment.At the same time,fewer owners control them.Huge companies have many holdings (股份).In some areas,one company controls much of the media.One dramatic change in American media is the increased success of cable television.It comes into most homes over wires.It does not use the public airwaves to present programs,as broadcast television does.Like broadcast television,most cable television programs perform advertisements.This is true although people must pay to see cable television in their homes.Thirty years ago,few people had cable.Today,abut sixty-eight percent of American homes have cable television.Television by satellite is also gaining popularity.
Over the years,traditional broadcast organizations have tried to appeal to as many watchers as possible.Many cable companies,however,present programs for one special group of viewers.For example,there are cable stations for people who like books,cooking,travel,golf or comedy.
29.Which of the following is true about American public media?D
A.They depend on the government.
B.They are controlled by the government
C.They are free       
D.They can earn money
30.From the second paragraph,we learn thatA.
A.broadcast TV and cable TV programs include sales messages
B.more media are out of control
C.American media is dramatic
D.cable TV is free
31The underlined word"airwaves"in Paragraph 2could best be replaced byA.
A.TV channels  B.TV stations   C.radio stations  D.satellite media
32.What would be the best title for the text?C
A.American news and entertainment
