This is because learning is their 41 , perhaps an instinct of human beings. They just can"t help. But 42 , they feel bored with learning, especially when learning becomes a boring 43 for them, especially after school has become a 44 of their life, especially when they have to 45 teachers who tell them again and again to 46 to recite and memorize things they don"t want to learn, and especially 47 they realize school is not what they once 48 to be but something that, according to their parents, they must rely on in order to 49 a good fame or a good job or a good future. That is to say, learning has become a 50 , which they are forced or 51 to face. So it is the teachers and parents who have thrown the heavy 52 on the children.

学习本来是孩子们天生的、本能的、自然的、快乐的求知过程,孩子们应该因为学习而感到满足和幸福,他们本来渴望了解自然,喜欢探索他们感兴趣的领域,他们本来可以因为学习而废寝忘食,乐此不彼,因为学习对于他们本来是件幸福和快乐的事情。可是是谁剥夺了他们的快乐?是谁让他们在面对书本的时候不再感到幸福而是莫大的压力? 36.C 解答该题的关键是要准确区别anything与everything在肯定句中所表达的意义。关心一切事情,含有整体性,应用everything,anything用于肯定句时,表示强调,该句没有强调之意。 37.D eager渴望的,be eager to do sth.渴望作某事;curious 好奇的; 38.A question 有疑而问,并且有待回答的问题; reaction(to)对......的反应;problem“问题、习题”,着重指客观存在的亟待解决的“问题”,尤其指棘手或难以解决的“问题”。Troubles“麻烦”,不和题意。 39.B adults包括parents和teachers;显然不是students。 40.B boring指的是“令人厌倦的”,指事物让人觉的厌倦;tired意为“疲劳的,厌倦的”,通常是由于过度疲劳等引起的疲劳;practical“实际的”。 41.D nature“本性;性质”;excuse“借口,理由”;characteristic意为“特征;特色”,比较注重外在的; ability “能力,才干;技能”。意思为“学习是他们的天性”。 42.A gradually“逐渐地;逐步地”,表示事态的发展;eventually“最后,最后”,表示某事的结果;however “然而;仍然”,表转折;therefore“因此,所以”,表示因果关系。 43.C task“任务, 工作“;duty”义务,责任;职务”;exercise“运动,训练”;remark 非正式评论。 44.B part“部分,角色,作用”;...pleasure“愉快,快乐,乐趣,乐事”;occasion“场合,时刻;时机”;success“成功,成就,成功的人或事”。 45.A face“面对”;follow“遵照,采用,仿效;听懂”;imitate“模仿,仿效”;/ escape“逃跑,逃脱”;control“控制”。下文也提到。 46.A repeat“重复,重说,重做;背诵”copy “抄写;复印”; report“汇报,报告”;reply“答复,回答”。句意为“……重复背诵一些记忆性的东西。” 47.D when“当……时候”;when,before和after都是从属连词,表示时间先后;since既可表时间,也可表原因。根据句意,可知选when。 48.D expect“期望”;forbidden“禁止”;attract“吸引,引起”;intended“想要,打算”; 49.B “……为了获得好的荣誉,工作和将来”。achieve“得到,获得,多指成就、目标、幸福的取得”,正合题意;require“需要;要求”;earn“赚;挣得”,指因工作等而得到报酬或待遇;indicate“表明”。 50.C “学习成了一种必须做的事情”。must此处为名词“必须做的事情”;如To learn English well is a must. 学好英语是非常必要的。promise“承诺”;service;“服务,帮助”;choice“选择(机会),抉择”。 51.C obliged:迫使,用于be obliged to do sth.被迫干某事;recommend“推荐,介绍;劝告”;please“使高兴,请”;experience“经历”。 52.A 根据上文“是老师和父母把沉重的担子加在了他们身上”。burden“担子,重担”;confidence“信任;信赖;信心”;difficulty“困难;难事;困境”;challenge“挑战”。 53.B “孩子们被剥夺了幸福和快乐”。deprive sb. of sth.剥夺某人某事;be (well) informed of(about)“对......消息灵通”;accuse sb. of... 控告某人犯有......;approve(of)“赞成, 满意”。 54.C 根据上下文看,此处应是作者的建议(suggestion)。Encouragement“鼓励,激励”;persuasion “劝说,说服”;decision“决定,决议”。 55.B 根据上文既然是建议,学习就应该(should)是享受学习,…….。其他不和语境。 |

Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance. The purpose is to let children learn from experience at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly. The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family. Timing is another consideration. Some children get a weekly allowance. Others get a monthly allowance. In any case, parents should make clear what, if anything, the child is expected to pay for with the money. At first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it. 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 think 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. It can even provide an understanding of how a business works. Allowances give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with money. They can share it in the form of gifts or giving to a good cause. They can spend it by buying things they want. Or they can save it. Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice: you have to cut costs and plan for the future. Requiring children to save part of their allowance can also open the door to future saving. A saving account is an excellent way to learn about the power of compound interest. Compounding works by paying interest on interest. So, for example, one dollar invested at two percent interest for two years will earn two cents in the first year. The second year, the money will earn two percent of one dollar and two cents, and so on. That may not seem like a lot. But over time it adds up. 14. Many parents give children an allowance regularly to ______. A. meet children’s basic need for life B. give control over their children C. see whether they have financial mistakes D. help children learn how to manage money 15. For Children who receive allowances, they’d better not ________. A. waste money to buy gifts for their parents or friends B. buy their favorite clothing or electronics for themselves C. save money like their parents or other adults D. ask for the next allowance before the decided date. 16. If children are required to save their allowance, they ______. A. can experience the three things related to money B. can understand the relation between goals and sacrifice C. will do more work around the house D. help themselves found the basis for their future life 17. What does the underlined phrase “compound interest” mean? A. The interest based on the original money and unpaid interest. B. A way of helping children earn two percent interest. C. The interest intended for children to earn money. D. A saving account opened for children’s allowance. 18. What would be the best title for the text? A. How to Give Children an Allowance B. Spend Your Allowance within a Budget C. Allowance Helps Children Learn about Money D. Doing Housework Earns Children Allowance |
