题型:不详难度:来源:
With limited pocket money in hand,many Chinese college students are increasingly opting to live life “low cost”.One way to save money is team­buying.Online team­buying offers huge discounts and becomes popular on campus.
Li Jing,a student at China Youth University for Political Sciences,for example,says she often buys movie tickets on team­buying websites.But while they offer a good opportunity to save money,Li said she would “think twice before buying them from online stores”.Because many of them are “a bit chaotic (混乱的)”,and have fake goods mixed among them.Then why don’t the students just earn more pocket money by taking up part­time jobs?Guo Na,a teacher at the Communication University of China,said most college students were unlikely to choose work­study programs to earn pocket money because of their intensive study schedules.
A kind of card called “VELO” has become another ideal choice for many money savers.It provides all­round discounts while dining out or shopping in general.Cao Zuyang,a student at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China,often searches for sales online and buys things together with friends to cut down on costs.Cao once wanted to buy an electro­magnetic oven (电磁炉),which was on sale at a shopping website.He then asked five dormitory roommates to pitch in for the oven.Each student only paid 25 yuan.
Most students find it difficult to deal with the expense of accommodation while traveling.So they choose to travel to cities where they have friends and live in their dorms.For instance,Ge Rui,a student at the Hebei University of Technology,has been to many cities where he has friends.“Friends can act as free guides,offer me free accommodation,give me valuable tour information,and broaden my mind at the same time,” he said.He also had friends from other cities coming over and living with him when they visited his city.

小题1:A
小题2:D
小题3:C
小题4:C
解析

小题1:A
解析 主旨大意题。文章第一段第二句就开门见山地提出了本文的主题:省钱的方法。故A项很好地概括了全文大意。B、C、D三项内容仅是文中的一个细节,概括性不强。
小题2: D
解析 细节理解题。网上购物时我们不能看到实物,因此网购时应该谨慎。
小题3: C
解析 细节理解题。由第三段内容可知,Cao Zuyang通过与舍友合买电磁炉达到了他想省钱的目的。
小题4: C
解析 推理判断题。本文主要通过具体的事例介绍了省钱的方法,陈述的是事实,D项可排除;A项也与涉及多位人物的本文不符;B项与文中提及的团购等偏离太远,因此只有C项正确。

People without homes have always been present in America.In the past,they were called hobos,bums,or drifters.It was not until the early 1980s that these people received a new name,when activists named them the homeless.
The types of people who were homeless also changed in the 1980s.No longer were they primarily older men.They were younger,with an average age of 35.Their numbers consisted of women,children,adolescents and entire families.They were of many races and cultures.No longer were they only in the inner city.They lived in rural areas and in large and small cities.No longer were they invisible to the people with homes and jobs.The homeless of the 1980s lived in packing crates (装货箱) and doorways.They slept on sidewalks and in public parks.They begged money from passers­by.
Counting the numbers of homeless people is difficult.However,in 1984 the Department of Housing and Urban Development estimated the homeless population at between 250,000 and 350,000.In 1990 the Census Bureau counted about 459,000 people in shelters,in cheap hotels,and on the streets.In 1995 the National Alliance to End Homelessness estimated that there were 750,000 homeless Americans.
The homeless of the 1980s also began to speak out for themselves.Some spoke to Congress and to government committees controlling funding for social programs.Street newspapers,such as Chicago’s Streetwise and Boston’s Spare Change,had stories,poems,and essays that expressed the homeless viewpoint.The visible and vocal presence of the homeless prompted help from volunteers and government agencies.But what is still needed is a solution to the plight of America’s homeless population.
小题1:This passage is mainly about________.
A.one homeless person’s story
B.the history of the homeless
C.the changes of the homeless in the late 20th century
D.a way to provide homes for the homeless
小题2:How did the homeless speak out about their problems?

Mothers and daughters go through so much—yet when was the last time a mother and daughter sat down to write a book together about it all? Perri Klass and her mother,Sheila Solomon Klass,both gifted professional writers,prove to be ideal co­writers as they examine their decades of motherhood,daughterhood,and the wonderful ways their lives have overlapped(重叠).
Perri notes with amazement how closely her own life has mirrored her mother’s: both have full­time careers; both have published books,articles,and stories; each has three children; they both love to read.They also love to travel—in fact,they often take trips together.But in truth,the harder they look at their lives,the more they acknowledge their big differences in circumstance and basic nature.
A child of the Depression(大萧条),Sheila was raised in Brooklyn by parents who considered education a luxury for girls.Starting with her college education,she has fought for everything she’s ever accomplished.Perri,on the other hand,grew up privileged in the New Jersey suburbs of the 1960s and 1970s.For Sheila,wasting time or money is a crime,and luxury is unthinkable while Perri enjoys the occasional small luxury,but has not been successful at trying to persuade her mother into enjoying even the tiniest thing she likes.
Each writing in her own unmistakable voice,Perri and Sheila take turns exploring the joys and pains,the love and bitterness,the minor troubles and lasting respect that have always bonded them together.Sheila describes the adventure of giving birth to Perri in a tiny town in Trinidad where her husband was doing research fieldwork.Perri admits that she can’t sort out all the mess in the households,even though she knows it drives her mother crazy.Together they compare thoughts on bringing up children and working,admit long­hidden sorrows,and enjoy precious memories.
Looking deep into the lives they have lived separately and together,Perri and Sheila tell their mother­daughter story with honesty,humor,enthusiasm,and admiration for each other.A written account in two voices,Every Mother Is a Daughter is a duet(二重奏) that produces a deep,strong sound with the experiences that all mothers and daughters will recognize.       (2013·湖北,B)

A.They both have gone through difficult times.
B.They have strong emotional ties with each other.

Jack Benny was one of the most famous names in show business.He was born in Chicago,Illinois,on February 14th,1894.His parents,Meyer and Emma Kubelsky,were religious Jews.They had moved to the United States from Eastern Europe.Benny was a quiet boy.For much of the time,his parents were busy working in his father’s store.As a child,Benny learned to play the violin.After finishing his school,he joined the Navy.He continued using his violin to perform for sailors.In one show he was chosen more for his funny jokes than for his skill with the violin.That experience made him believe that his future job was a comedian.
Benny developed a show personality that had all the qualities people dislike.He was known for being so stingy—he refused to spend any money unless forced to do so.On his shows Benny often spoke of his appearance,especially his baby blue eyes.As he grew older,he always claimed to be 39 years old.Benny rarely made jokes that hurt other people.Instead,he would let the other actors on the show tell jokes about him.
In real life,he was very giving and he was a person people liked having as their employer.Benny entered the new media of television in 1950.Five years later,he dropped his radio programme to spend more time developing his television show.At first his appearances on television were rare.By 1960 the Benny Show was a weekly television programme.It continued until 1965.Benny appeared in about twenty films during his life.A few became popular.But most were not.In 1963 Benny returned to Broadway for the first time since 1931.
Benny received many awards during his lifetime.Perhaps the one honour that pleased him most was that his hometown of Waukeegan named a school for him.This was a special honour for a man who had never finished high school.
Benny continued to perform.He died of cancer in 1974.At his funeral his friend Bob Hope said,“Jack Benny was stingy to the end.He gave us only eighty years.”
