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.‎ Jamie My 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.‎ Laura I 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?”‎ Olivia My 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.‎ ‎21. According to the text, Megan _____.‎ A. has always spent money wisely B. finds it hard to save any money C. puts some of her money in the bank D. doesn't have to worry about money ‎22. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to the money _____.‎ A. Laura saved on food B. Laura spent on unimportant things C. Laura received from her parents D. Laura borrowed from her friends ‎23. Both Jamie and Olivia _____.‎ A. have a part-time job B. get a lot of pocket money C. have opened a bank account D. spend a lot on clothes ‎24. The text is mainly about _____.‎ A. making money     B. borrowing money C. raising money         D. managing money B Before January 2005, young girls couldn't play soccer in Katutura, a black township in Namibia, Africa. They had no soccer balls, no playing field, no shoes, and no leader. Each day, girls and boys gathered at the Nordkamp Center after school. Most of the boys would play soccer in a nearby dirt field while the girls remained at the center to jump rope or read books.‎ Center director Mary Beth Gallagher loved soccer and knew that the girls would love it, too. So she organized a girls' team with players under the age of 12. She knew it would be the youngest girls' soccer team in the whole country. Because they had no other girls' teams to compete with, Mary Beth arranged (安排) matches against the boys' teams. The boys were bigger and stronger, but the girls didn't back down.‎ Soon news spread about the Nordkamp girls' team. An American soccer team from New York heard about them and immediately sent all their uniforms and shoes to their “soccer sisters”. When the bright orange uniforms arrived, the Nordkamp girls danced happily.‎ ‎“You look like pumpkins,” Mary Beth said.‎ A girl's voice called out, “If we are pumpkins, we're beautiful pumpkins.”‎ With their new name the Pumpkins, the experienced team was ready for a big match.‎ On December 1, 2006, the Pumpkins gathered and walked in a big orange line to a field near the Nordkamp Center. Their first opposing (对抗的) team laughed at the young players, but they didn't laugh for long. They quickly found out just how good the Pumpkins were. The Pumpkins beat that first team and then the next. These girls became famous, and their story was also encouraging to others in Namibia.‎ ‎25. Before January 2005, in Katutura _____.‎ A. kids preferred jumping rope to soccer B. there was no girls' soccer team C. boys had no place to play soccer D. girls often played soccer with boys ‎26. As for the idea of girls playing soccer, Mary Beth might _____.‎ A. think little of it B. be doubtful of it C. feel hopeful about it D. be uncertain about it ‎27. Why was the Nordkamp girls' team called the Pumpkins?‎ A. Because of the color of its uniforms. B. Because of the heights of its players.‎ C. Pumpkins are its players' favorite food. D. Pumpkins always bring people good luck.‎ ‎28. What can we learn from the girls' story?‎ A. All time is no time when it is past. B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.‎ C. Where there is a will, there is a way. D. Self-trust is the first secret of success.‎ ‎ C When a golfer plays on any golf course, he or she expects the course has a lot of hazards (障碍区) like sands, woods, and ponds of water. There is one special golf course, though, where along with these hazards that stand still, the player must expect to compete against hundreds of moving hazards. The golf course is on Christmas Island. The island is an area of Australia in the Indian Ocean, the third largest ocean in the world, lying between Africa and Australia. The moving hazards are bright red, four-and-one-half-inch (11.4cm) crabs (螃蟹).‎ Over 150 million of these brightly colored crabs live in the island's rainforests. Every year, starting around November, the crabs migrate (迁移). They leave the rainforest and make their way to the ocean. They arrive at the coast after one to three weeks. But the males return to the rainforest earlier than the females, who return about two weeks later after producing up to 100,000 eggs.‎ On Christmas Island there is a golf course built on the crabs' migration route. During the migration season, there are hundreds of red crabs moving on the course. The rules of the Christmas Island Golf Club say that all players must treat the crabs as they would treat any other hazard. They cannot move them, and they must play around them. If a walking crab happens to knock a ball while it is on the green, hitting it into a hole, the ball is considered “in”. ‎ Just as the golfers must compete against a moving hazard, so must the crabs. People have built roads that run through the crabs' migration route. Unluckily, up to two million crabs are killed by passing vehicles every year. People are trying to reduce the number by putting up “Crab Crossing” signs and closing certain roads during the migration season.‎ ‎29. What do we learn about the red crabs?‎ A. They arrive in the rainforest in November.‎ B. They spend most of their year in the ocean.‎ C. The females spend two more weeks on the coast.‎ D. The males start to migrate earlier than the females.‎ ‎30. The rules of the Christmas Island Golf Club _____.‎ A. attract more golf players   B. can help protect the crabs  ‎ C. often make golfers confused D. cause the crabs much trouble ‎ ‎31. By saying “Just as the golfers ... so must the crabs”, the author means _____.‎ A. the crabs must face danger on the road B. the crabs are quite perfect moving hazards C. golfers like competing against moving hazards D. golfers find it hard to play on Christmas Island ‎32. Which can be the best title for the text?‎ A. Christmas Island B. Great migration C. Crab Crossing D. Crab hazards ‎  D The human brain contains 10 thousand million cells (细胞) and each of these may have a thousand connections. Such great numbers used to discourage us and cause us to stop thinking about the possibility of making a machine with humanlike ability, but now that we have grown used to moving forward at such a speed we can be less sure. Quite soon, in only l0 or 20 years, perhaps, we will be able to build a machine as complex as the human brain, and if we can we will. It may then take us a long time to make it as intelligent as the human brain by properly programming it.‎ I think it is certain that in decades, not centuries, machines of silicon (硅) will arise to compete with their human ancestors. In a real sense they will be able to reproduce themselves. Silicon will have ended carbon's long control. And we will no longer be able to consider ourselves to be the finest intelligence in the world.‎ As the intelligence of robots increases and their cost goes down, we may achieve a lot with their help, first on the earth through their ability to complete any kind of work in harmful environments. In the end, deserts may turn into gardens. Further ahead, by a combination of the great wealth this new age will bring and the technology it will provide, the creation of a huge, man-made world in space, home to thousands or millions of people, will be within our power.‎ ‎33. In the author's opinion, the human brain _____.‎ A. is complex and intelligent B. is too complex to be reproduced C. may change a lot in 10 or 20 years D. will soon be replaced by machines 34. The underlined word “carbon” in Paragraph 2 stands for _____.‎ A. human beings B. an old machine C. an ocean animal D. intelligent robots ‎35. In the last paragraph, the author mainly _____.‎ A. talks about the intelligence of robots B. explains how to create a world in space C. describes what our future life might be D. shows his worry about the environment 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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 parents can help children with reading skills Making sure that your children read well can help them perform better in school and increase their confidence in their ability to communicate well.
