After a couple of years, I began wondering why I didn't have any savings. Things had to change. It was then that I opened a bank account (账户). Even saving just a tiny amount each month can make quite a difference, so my advice would be for children like me to open an account and start saving.JamieMy advice is “be strict and know what you're spending”. I keep a budget (预算) so that I know exactly how much money I can spend on clothes, how much on going out with my friends and how much I need to save. I now work at the weekend, so I don't have to ask my parents for pocket money.LauraI always get pocket money from my parents. I would buy a coffee here or a sandwich there, and even though that only means two or three pounds a time, it soon increases in amount. One day I made a list of all the things I'd bought that week and it really surprised me. I'd spent 30 pounds on, well, nothing really! If I could give anyone advice, I would tell them to always ask themselves, “Do I really need this?”OliviaMy dad lost his job recently, so my pocket money stopped. Now I'm doing a part-time job on Tuesdays and Fridays. It isn't a lot, but it is enough. Not only have I become more responsible about money and how I spend it, but I feel good that I'm working for it and not just relying on my parents. My advice to anyone is not to expect money to always be there and make sure you save enough for a rainy day.1. According to the text, Megan _.A. has always spent money wiselyB. finds it hard to save any moneyC. puts some of her money in the bankD. doesn't have to worry about money2. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to the money _.A. Laura saved on foodB. Laura spent on unimportant thingsC. Laura received from her parentsD. Laura borrowed from her friends3. Both Jamie and Olivia _.A. have a part-time jobB. get a lot of pocket moneyC. have opened a bank accountD. spend a lot on clothes4. The text is mainly about _.A. making money B. borrowing moneyC. raising money D. managing money BEDMONTON, CANADA The Etzio is one of the oldest buildings in one of the city's oldest neighbourhoods, but it's set to be knocked down. Edmontonians are hoping more can be done to preserve (保留) more of the city's history. “The reason why the area is popular in the first place is that it's a historic neighbourhood. And I think it's important that we preserve that history,” said Mark Wilson, owner of Vivid Print, a shop on Whyte Avenue at 103 Street.Wilson's business is located in a building two doors down from the Etzio, a building that is more than a century old. But after 117 years on Whyte Avenue, the building is coming down to make way for a new three-floor development. “It has become acceptable to simply pull down old buildings and put up new buildings that look old,” said Wilson. “The words on the sidewalks here say historic area. Well, it's not historic if all the buildings are 10 years old.”It's a move that disappoints Wilson and others on the street who believe more should be done to keep the character of Edmonton. “I think in this area it's important because it keeps the flavor(特性)of Edmonton, and Edmonton is known for Whyte Ave.” said a woman on Saturday afternoon.“Some of the old culture should still be there, I think,” added a man who was walking along the street. “It makes Edmonton unique (独一无二的). Without it, it just becomes another mall or it could be any other city in the world.”Wilson looking fondly at the old building believes a little piece of history is lost with every building that's torn down.After the Etzio building is torn down, the Old Strathcona Hotel and the Ross building will be the only two buildings left from the 1800s.5. Why does Wilson consider the Etzio important?A. It helps him develop his business.B. His neighbours live there.C. It's a symbol of history.D. His shop is inside it.6. In Wilson's eyes, what will be done to the city is _.A. acceptable B. popular C. unpleasant D. strange7. What can be the best title for the text?A. 117-year-old building to be torn down B. New development being met with disagreementsC. Edmonton business owner makes a moveD. Old buildings in Edmonton face an uncertain futureCBryan Laubscher, one of the world's leading astrophysicists, who study the physics and chemistry of the stars, planets, etc, is developing an invention called the Mars Elevator. To form a picture of this, you may want to imagine the story of Jack and the Beanstalk (杰克与魔豆). This is the story of a boy who grew a beanstalk that reached the heavens. Jack climbed the stalk and entered another world. The space elevator is similar but of course much more high-tech and better yet, it is real!Astrophysicists are designing a steel-like cable (缆绳) that will be connected to a platform (平台) in the ocean. This cable is designed to be pulled up into space, where it will then be connected to a space station. People will be able to travel up and down this elevator by the year 2020. There will be a number of space elevators so that both tourists and businesses can travel into space. To get there, space tourists will simply travel to the nearest ocean elevator entrance. The trip up into space will take about a week. When they arrive, space tourists will be inside a space station and will be able to stay there. There are other alternatives, too. Astronomers think it will be easy to travel from the space station to the moon, where space tourists can stay in a moon hotel which is now being designed. The future looks bright for space tourists. It also looks bright for industry and scientists. Mining companies will travel to space to mine elements (元素) that are rare on Earth. Energy scientists will travel to space to set up space solar panels, which will collect a huge amount of energy from the sun and shoot it back to Earth where we can use it to heat our homes and meet our energy needs.8. What does Jack and the Beanstalk help readers understand?A. The difficulty of building space elevators.B. What material space elevators would use.C. What space elevators would look like.D. The reason for inventing space elevators.9. What can we infer about space elevators?A. They're accepting pre-paid bookings. B. They'll be available in the near future. C. They're mainly used for scientific study.D. They'll offer people a seven-day round trip.10. What does the underlined word “alternatives” (in Para. 2) mean? A. Advantages. B. Purposes. C. Entries. D. Choices.11. What is the author's attitude towards space elevators?A. Worried. B. Doubtful. C. Critical. D. Positive.DEdmund Halley, an astronomer in the late 1600s, was very interested in comets (彗星). In 1682, he noticed a comet that was especially bright and large. He spent a long time studying it. Then it disappeared from view. Based on his research, Halley guessed that this bright comet would return in 1758 or 1759. This was about 75 years after he first saw the comet. This same bright comet returned right on time. However, Halley died in 1742 and was unable to see it. Not long after that, the comet was named “Halleys comet” in his honor.Scientists who had been following Halleys work began to look back through history. They learned that for centuries there had been mention of a comet in the sky about every 75 years, going all the way back to 467 B.C. Often, the return of Halleys comet seemed to coincide (同时发生) with important events in history. For many years people believed that Halleys comet caused catastrophes (大灾难), from sickness to war.Now, scientists know that comets do not cause bad events, and they have learned more about comets. All comets are made of a head and a tail. Some comets have longer tails. The head is made mostly of ice, plus some dust and pieces of rock. U.S. astronomer Fred Whipple used the phrase “dirty snowballs” to describe comets. Comets move through the sky very quickly. However, their speed depends on how close they are to the Sun. When Halleys comet is farthest from the Sun, it moves about 2,040 miles per hour. When it is closest to the Sun, it moves at an amazing 122,000 miles per hour!People today remain attracted by this comet. The most recent visit from Halleys comet was in 1985-1986. This time, two spacecraft, Vega 1 and Vega 2, got a close look at the comet as it raced around the Sun. Halleys comet should next return in 2061. Who knows what high-tech equipment will be around to study it then? 12. From the first paragraph, we can learn that _.A. Halley saw the same comet twice in his life B. Halley had known a lot about comets before 1682C. Halley named the comet he found “Halleys comet”D. Halleys guess about the comets return proved correct13. In ancient times, people often considered Halleys comet _. A. a star bringing bad luckB. a star worth seeingC. a star with a high temperatureD. a star visiting the Earth once in a lifetime14. The third paragraph mainly tells us _.A. what comets are likeB. where comets can be seenC. why comets fly at high speedsD. how long it takes comets to circle around the Sun15. The question in the last paragraph mainly shows _.A. high-tech equipment is needed to study Halleys cometB. research on Halleys comet will never be overC. people expect to see the return of Halleys comet more oftenD. people are ready for the return of Halleys comet in 2061第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to teach kids about computersTeaching kids about computers can prepare them for using modern technology. As we know, computers provide a wide choice of entertainment. 16 Just as with anyone who is new to computers, you should start with teaching kids basic computer skills. 17 Kids should be told that food and drink must be kept away from computers at all times, and devices (设备) like keyboards and mouses should be handled (操作) gently. This can help prevent kids from causing any accidents that may damage computers.Show kids how to hold and use a computer mouse.
