11．So you're trying to cut back on spending．Congratulations．You've made a wise decision but it is not necessarily a path that is easy to follow．The temptation to over-spend is an ever-present，inviting itch（癢） that you'll need to avoid scratching（抓撓）．But，armed with the right set of principles，you can keep it at bay
Step 1
If you are going shopping，make sure you only take enough money with you to buy what you need．Extra money is often an excuse for extra spending．If you shop with charge cards，be sure that credit limit is only high enough to keep you from making impulsive（沖動(dòng)的）purchases．
Step 2
Separate necessary spending and indulgence（放縱）spending．It's a good way to keep that money from flying out of your wallet．If you always pay for necessities first then you won't have the cash flow for the extras that，while you'd love to have them，you don't really need them．
Step 3
Take another person along who understand your goal  of keeping spending down．They can be your second conscience when you see that cute purse on sale and are attempting to justify the purchase．A frown and a shake of the head from your shopping buddy might be the extra signal  that persuades you to leave it behind．
Step4
Don't spend more than you have to，even on necessities．Shopping around you'll find that many everyday items that you do have to buy can be bought for less．Try the store brand instead of the name brand，and shop where you can find bargains．Saving a little money in this area may allow you a bit of self-indulgent spending now and then，as long as you have to"earn"that extra spending by saving．
36．What can we infer from the first paragraph？C
A．The customers are traveling on the sea     
B．The customers are trying to spend less．
C．The customers can't help spending more．
D．There are principles about spending．
37．What can  we do to stop ourselves from spending impulsively？B
A．Avoid a company going to shop with you．
B．Limit the amount of money you take．
C．Spend less on what you need most
D．Pay for what you need most first．
38．According to the passage，A．
A．using charge cards encourages extra spending
B．people often buy things that they don't want
C．the shopping buddy may help you spend more
D．you should buy whatever you want
39．The purpose of the author writing this article isD．
A．to give advice on how to shop
B．to help customers shop wisely
C．to guide people in using credit cards when showing
D．to offer advice on how to keep spending down
40．What does the word"it"the first paragraph refer to？D
A．Scratching     B．Itch
C．Spending．     D．Over spending．

分析 作者給我們提出如何少花錢的四條建議．

解答 CBADD
36  C  推理判斷題．   根據(jù)第一段中的The temptation to overspend is an ever-present，inviting itch that you'll need to avoid scratching．可知花費(fèi)的誘惑是非常強(qiáng)的，是應(yīng)該避免去觸碰的，由此證明C項(xiàng)是正確的．
37  B  細(xì)節(jié)題．  根據(jù)第二段只帶足夠買所需物品的錢，過(guò)多的錢只是為過(guò)多的花費(fèi)找借口；信用卡的額度也要有個(gè)限制，這樣就可以避免沖動(dòng)消費(fèi)可知選B．
38   A  細(xì)節(jié)題． 根據(jù)第二段的最后一句話If you shop with charge cards，be sure that credit limit is only high enough to keep you from making impulsive purchases．可以看出作者警告讀者務(wù)必確�？ǖ念~度不要太高，由此可推斷使用信用卡很容易過(guò)度消費(fèi)．故選A項(xiàng)．
39    D  主旨大意題．  根據(jù)第一段中的最后一句話和文章給出的四條建議可以看出是在提建議，如何少花錢．故選D項(xiàng)．
40    D  猜測(cè)詞義題．  結(jié)合上一句話說(shuō)過(guò)度消費(fèi)是很難禁止的，再加上轉(zhuǎn)折連詞But可知后面說(shuō)的是堅(jiān)持這樣的原則就可以避免過(guò)度消費(fèi)，即D項(xiàng)．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 做閱讀理解時(shí)要快速的瀏覽全文，把握文章主旨大意，帶著問(wèn)題回到原文，尋找細(xì)節(jié)或概括相應(yīng)的答案，最后要理清作者寫作思路．

16．School meals are junk and don't provide the nutrition a body needs to grow，says Jamie Oliver，and he decides to do something about it．Schoolchildren in France who eat school dinners are likely to have a well-balanced，four-course meal with fresh ingredients （成分） costing up to￡1.10 to make．ButBritish schoolchildren are fed mainly cheap-processed meat，frozen pizzas and potato smiley faces，costing on average just 37 pence per meal．
In fact the money spent on school dinners is so small that schools can afford only what some people describe as junk food rather than fresh natural ingredients．This means that their meals don't provide the nutrients and goodness children's bodies need to develop properly．No wonder there's growing concern about the health of the nation's schoolchildren．
Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver was so concerned about school dinners that he decided to try to improve them by teaming up with the kitchen staff at Kidbrooke School in Grenwich．He took a lot of time to learn how to get the kids to stop eating the junk and move to healthy food．This is not easy!But it is possible with some hard work and determination!After a lot of hard work from both Jamie and the school's cooks，Kidbrooke is now serving some of the best school food in Britain．The menu includes fresh butcher's sausages with creamy mash and onion gravy，chilli corn with basmati rice and fresh fruit salad．Incredibly，Jamie and the staff managed to create this healthier menu with the same 37 pence budget．But the school chefs admit cooking healthy food isn't as easy as simply putting burgers and chips in the oven．
Then came the good news!The government has promised to spend￡280 million to improve school dinners across the country．Well done Jamie!This means that die national average cost will rise from 37p to 50p in primary schools and from 37p to 60p in secondary schools．
66．What does the author try to tell us in the first paragraph？B
    A．School meals in France are the most expensive in the world．

    C．School meals in Britain are cheaper than those in France．

    B．people show little concern about the health of schoolchildren
    C．schools don't have enough money
    D．schools don't want to spend much money
68．From the passage we can see thatD
    A．the British government ignores schoolchildren's health
    B．Jamie creates a healthy menu with the help of the government
    C．schoolchildren in Britain will have the best meals
    D．cooking healthy food is not an easy job

3．Writing articles about films for The Front Page was my first proper job．Before then I had done bits of reviewing-novels for other newspapers，films for a magazine and anything I was asked to do for the radio．That was how I met Tom Seaton，the first arts editor of The Front Page，who had also written for television．He hired me，but Tom was not primarily a journalist，or he would certainly have been more careful in choosing his staff．
At first，his idea was that a team of critics should take care of the art forms that didn't require specialized knowledge：books，TV，theatre，film and radio．There would be a weekly lunch at which we would make our choices from the artistic material that Tom had decided we should cover，though there would also be guests to make the atmosphere sociable．
It all felt like a bit of dream at that time：a new newspaper and I was one of the team．It seemed so unlikely that a paper could be introduced into a crowded market．It seemed just as likely that a millionaire wanted to help me personally，and was pretending to employ me．Such was my lack of self-confidence．
Tom's original scheme for a team of critics for the arts never took off．It was a good idea，but we didn't get together as planned and so everything was done by phone．It turned out，too，that the general public out there preferred to associate a reviewer with a single subject area，and so I chose film．Without Tom's initial push，though，we would hardly have come up with the present arrangement，by which I write an extended weekly piece，usually on one film．
The space I am given allows me to broaden my argument-or forces me，in an uninteresting week，to make something out of nothing．But what is my role in the public arena？I assume that people choose what films to go to on the basis of the stars，the publicity or the director．So if a film review isn't really a consumer guide，what is it？I certainly don't feel I have a responsibility to be‘right'about a movie．Nor do I think there should be a certain number of‘great'and‘bad'films each year．All I have to do is put forward an argument．I'm not a judge，and nor would I want to be．

63．What do we learn about Tom Seaton from the first paragraph？C
A．He encouraged the writer to become a writer．
B．He met the writer when working for television．
C．He had worked in various areas of the media．
D．He prefers to employ people that he knows．
64．The weekly lunches were planned in order toB．
A．help the writers get to know each other
B．distribute the work that had to be done
C．provide an informal information session
D．entertain important visitors from the arts
65．What does the author mean when he says that Tom's plan never took off in Paragraph 4？D
A．Tom's plan was unpopular．
B．Tom's plan wasted too much time．
C．Tom's plan wasn't planned properly．
D．Tom's plan wasn't put into practice．
66．Which of the following best describes what the writer says about his work？A
A．He can freely express his opinion．
B．He prefers to write about films he likes．
C．His success varies from year to year．
D．He writes according to accepted rules．

20．Special trees that grow faster，fight pollution，produce better wood，and even sense chemical attacks are being planted by scientists in the US．
When 40 per cent of Hawaii's US 14 million-a-year papaya （木瓜）industry was destroyed by a virus five years ago，work began on creating genetically engineered （轉(zhuǎn)基因的） trees．
Researchers successfully introduced seeds that were designed to resist the virus．Since then，more and more people have been testing genetically engineered trees．
Some researchers put special bacteria into trees to help them grow faster and produce better wood．Others are trying to create trees that can clean polluted soil．
Meanwhile fruit farmers are looking for trees that are strong enough to resist worms，and paper companies want trees that produce more wood and therefore more paper．
The Pentagon （五角大樓） even gave the researchers US 500，000this year after they developed a pine tree that changes its colours if it senses a chemical attack．
So far，the poplar，eucalyptus （楊樹與桉樹），apple and coffee trees are among those being engineered．All this can be done today because we have a better understanding of tree genomes （基因組）．
However，some people fear that the genetically engineered trees will cause dangerous results．They are worried that the new trees will breed with natural species and change the balance of the forest environment
"It could be destructive，"said Jim Diamond，an environmentalist．"Trees are what is left of our natural environment and home to many endangered species．"
But researchers insist that science could give nature a fighting chance against both natural and man-made dangers．
They hope to answer the critics by stopping the new trees from breeding，so their effect on the environment can be controlled．
57．Which kind of tree is not the ones that scientists are planting in the US？C
A．Trees that worms can't hurt．
B．Trees that can protect themselves at a chemical attack．
C．Trees that can resist wind better．
D．Genetically engineered trees．
58．What caused the American scientists to work on special trees？B
A．They think science could give nature a fighting chance against both natural and man-made dangers．
B．Great numbers of trees have been lost due to attacks by viruses．
C．Researchers successfully introduced seeds designed to resist the virus．
D．Tree genomes are mapped out so scientists know how to improve trees．
59．Which of the following was probably the first kind of trees being engineered？A
A．Papaya．B．Pine．C．Apple．D．Poplar．
60．Why did critics think engineered trees dangerous？BecauseD．
A．these trees can destroy the balance of nature
B．everything except trees has been genetically engineered
C．trees are home to many endangered species
D．these trees may affect normal trees．
