解析試題分析:本文給人們介紹了幾種減少家庭預算,節(jié)約開支的方法。比如做家庭記賬單,以便明確可減少的費用;購物前要上網(wǎng)查詢,與商店物品價格進行比較;再者要多利用自然光線,節(jié)約用電;而且盡量減少在外就餐次數(shù)。
【小題1】G考查對上下文的推理判讀能力。從前后句可知此處為過渡性句子,用來引出下文要給的關于減少開支的幾點建議,而G選項中的making small changes 恰好與下文的建議相吻合,所以答案選G。
【小題2】E考查對上下文的推理判讀能力。前面內(nèi)容都是關于如何對日常花費進行記錄,所以根據(jù)段落的發(fā)展,最后應該是總結概括性句子,而E選項中的in this way和obvious ways恰恰能夠和上面內(nèi)容相呼應。故E選項正確。
【小題3】F考查對上下文的推理判讀能力。上文建議要在網(wǎng)上查詢比較要買的貨物價格,所以此處也要和網(wǎng)上以及實體商店有關,而F選項中出現(xiàn)的 local store和online 等關鍵詞恰好就是正確選項的提示。故F為正確選項。
【小題4】D考查對上下文的推理判讀能力。此處的前后信息都是講節(jié)約用電,而D選項中對于自然光的利用也和節(jié)約用電有關,所以正確選項為D。
【小題5】A考查對上下文的推理判讀能力。由下文 restaurant 判斷,此處應該是和吃飯有關,本文著重介紹節(jié)約花費,所以A恰好為正確選項,意思是盡量要在家里吃飯。
考點:考查信息匹配。

Sharks have lived in the world's oceans for millions of years. A shark has an extremely good sense of smell. It can find small amounts of substances in the water, such as blood, body liquids and chemicals produced by animals. These powerful senses help them find their food.   【小題1】 
Sharks grow slowly. About forty percent of the different kinds of sharks lay eggs.  【小題2】  Some sharks carry their young inside their bodies as humans do. Some sharks are not able to reproduce until they are twenty years old. Most reproduce only every two years. And they give birth to fewer than ten young sharks. For this reason, over-fishing of sharks is of special danger to the future of the animal.
 【小題3】 .They eat injured and diseased fish. Their hunting activities mean that the numbers of other fish in the ocean do not become too great. This protects the plants and other forms of life that exist in the oceans.
People hunt sharks for sport, food, medicine and their skin. Experts say the international market for some kinds of sharks has increased greatly because many parts of a shark are valuable.  【小題4】 . Shark liver oil is a popular source of Vitamin. The skin of a shark can be used like leather. In Asia, people enjoy a kind of soup made from shark fins. Experts say a fisherman can earn a lot of money for even one kilogram of shark fins.

Over the last 25 years, British society has changed a great deal – or at least many parts of it have.   【小題1】. Ideas about social class – whether a person is “working - class” or “middle - class” – are one area in which changes have been extremely slow.
  In the past, the working-class tended to be paid less than middle-class people. The typical working man would collect his wages on Friday evening and then, it was widely believed, having given his wife her "housekeeping", would go out and squander the rest on beer and betting.
  The old style of what a middle-class man did with his money was perhaps nearer the truth. He was-and still is - inclined to take a longer-term view. Not only did he regard buying a house as a most important thing, but he also considered the education of his children as extremely important. 【小題2】. Only in very few cases did workers have the opportunity (or the education and training) to make such long-term plans.
  【小題3】In a large number of cases factory workers earn as much as their middle – class supervisors (管理者). Social security and laws to improve century, have made it less necessary than before to worry about "tomorrow". Working-class people seem slowly to be losing the feeling of inferiority(自卑感). In fact there has been a growing tendency in the past few years for the middle-classes to feel slightly ashamed of their position.
【小題4】.They generally tend to share very similar tastes in music and clothes, they spend their money in having a good time, and save for holidays or longer-term plans when necessary. There seems to be much less difference than in precious generations.【小題5】. As long as this gap exists, there will always be a possibility that new conflicts and jealousies will emerge, or rather that the old conflicts will re-appear, but between different groups.

A.Nowadays, a great deal has changed 
B.Both of these provided him and his family with security 
C.As a result, differences in life – styles and attitudes came into existence 
D.However, we still have a wide gap between the well – paid and the low - paid 
E.In recent years, the working – class people have begun to design long – term plans
F.In some ways, however, very little has changed, particularly where attitudes are concerned
G.The changes in both life – styles and attitudes are probably most easily seen amongst younger people

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從下框的A~F選項中選出能概括每一段主題的最佳選項,并在答題卡上將該選項涂黑。選項中有一項為多余項
A.Suggestions on having interviews
B.Be yourself
C.Listen before talking
D.Use your eyes and smile
E.Focus your energy
F.Qualities of good communication
【小題1】_________
Good communication is vital in modern society. We know that much of the communication is unspoken. Consciously or unconsciously, we show our true feelings with our eyes, faces, bodies and attitudes. Your good qualities can make good communication. The personal qualities include physical appearance, energy, rate of speech, pitch and tone of voice, gestures, expressiveness of eyes, and the ability to hold the interest of others. What should we do so that our communication will be effective? Here are my suggestions.
【小題2】_________
Firstly, the trick is to be consistently you, at your best. The most effective people never change character from one situation to another. They’re the same whether they’re having a conversation with their close friends, addressing their garden club or being interviewed for a job. They communicate with their whole being.
【小題3】_________
Secondly, whether you’re talking to one person or one hundred, always remember to look at them. Don’t break eye contact while talking. As you enter a room, move your eyes comfortably, then look directly at those in the room and smile. This shows clearly that you are at ease. Smiling is important. The best type of smile and eye contact is gentle and comfortable, not forced.
【小題4】_________
You should also absorb other people before showing yourself. You can’t learn anything when you talk. When you attend a meeting, a party or an interview, don’t immediately start throwing your opinions. Stop for a second. Absorb what’s going on. What’s the mood of the others – are they down, up, happy, expectant? Are they eager to learn from you, or do they show resistance? If you can sense what’s happening with others, you will be better able to reach them. So, listen before you talk.
【小題5】_________
How do you get your energy up? Before the meeting, collect your thoughts about the goal of the meeting – yours and the other’s. Once you go through the doorway, no longer think about yourself. Focus on the person you are meeting to find out what he is interested in. Properly collected energy comes across when we sincerely believe something. When you speak with energy, you are involved with your audience and your message. You create an air of certainty. The audience may disagree with you, but they can’t question your belief.

【小題1】Painkillers in a tablet can make your headache go away. Antibiotic cream(抗生膏)from a tube can prevent your cuts from becoming infected. But can medicine come packaged in chicken eggs?
A team of scientists from Scotland says yes. They've engineered special chickens that lay eggs with disease -treating drugs inside.
【小題2】Animals make thousands of proteins—they’re the main ingredient in skin, hair, milk, and meat. Since animals can make proteins easily, they’re good candidates for making protein drugs.
Researchers have already made cows, sheep, and goats that pump out protein drugs in their milk. But chickens are not expensive to take care of; what’s more, they need less room, and grow faster than these other animals. “【小題3】”says Simon Lillico of the Roslin Institute near Edinburgh, Scotland.
Lillico and a team of researchers changed chickens’ DNA—the code that tells cells how to make proteins so that the birds’ cells made two protein drugs. 【小題4】
The scientists altered the chickens’ DNA so that the birds made these drugs only in their egg whites (蛋清). This protects the chickens’ bodies from the drugs’ possible harmful effects and makes it easy for scientists to collect the drugs.
These special chickens can pass on their drug-laying abilities to their chicks. 【小題5】The scientists need to improve these chickens before they roost (棲息) in drug companies’ labs. The birds don’t make enough drugs to treat people yet. But once the researchers perfect their technique, you might eventually take your medicine sunny-side up.

A.Medicine comes in lots of different uses.
B.Those qualities could make chickens a better choice to become living drug factories.
C.So far, the Scottish researchers have bred five generations of drug—producing birds.
D.Some chickens are found having the ability of treating diseases.
E. One drug can treat skin cancer, and the other treats a nerve disease called multiple sclerosis(硬化).
F. These drugs are made of molecules called proteins.
G. Medicine comes in lots of different packages.

Getting your children to study can be a little like getting them to eat their vegetables.

At present we are living in a good age. Therefore, there are still a small number of people who don't act responsible. His bad behaviors are out of place in our civilizing society.
