　　Wealth starts with a goal and saving a dollar at a time.Call it the piggy bank strategy(策略).There are lessons in that time-honored coin-savings container.

　　Any huge task seems easier when reduced to baby steps.If you wished to climb a 12,000-foot mountain,and could do it a day at a time,you would only have to climb 33 feet daily to reach the top in a year.If you want to take a really nice trip in 10 years for a special occasion,to collect the $15,000 cost,you have to save $3.93 a day.If you drop that into a piggy bank and then once a year put $1,434 in a savings account at 1% interest rate after-tax,you will have your trip money.

　　When I was a child,my parents gave me a piggy bank to teach me that,if I wanted something,I should save money to buy it.We associate piggy banks with children,but in many countries,the little containers are also popular with adults.Europeans see a piggy bank as a sign of good fortune and wealth.Around the world,many believe a gift of a piggy bank on New Year?s Day brings good luck and financial success.Ah,yes,but you have to put something in it.

　　Why is a pig used as a symbol of saving?Why not an elephant bank,which is bigger and holds more coins?In the Middle Ages,before modern banking and credit instruments,people saved money at home,a few coins at a time dropped into a jar or dish.Potters(制陶工)made these inexpensive containers from an orange-colored clay(黏土)called “pygg”,and folks saved coins in pygg jars.The Middle English word for pig was “pigge”.While the Saxons pronounced pygg,referring to the clay,as “pug”,eventually the two words changed into the same pronunciation,sounding the “i” as in pig or piggy.As the word became less associated with the orange clay and more with the animal,a clever potter fashioned a pygg jar in the shape of a pig,delighting children and adults.The piggy bank was born.

　　Originally you had to break the bank to get to the money,bringing in a sense of seriousness into savings.While piggy banks teach children the wisdom of saving,adults often need to relearn childhood lessons.Think about the things in life that require large amounts of money—college education,weddings,cars,medical care,starting a business,buying a home,and fun stuff like great trips.So when you have money,take off the top 10%,put it aside,save and invest wisely.

　　1.What is the piggy bank strategy?

　　A.Paying 1% income tax at a time.

　　B.Setting a goal before making a travel plan.

　　C.Aiming high even when doing small things.

　　D.Putting aside a little money regularly for future use.

　　2.Why did the writer?s parents give him a piggy bank as a gift?

　　A.To delight him with the latest fashion.

　　B.To encourage him to climb mountains.

　　C.To help him form the habit of saving.

　　D.To teach him English pronunciation.

　　3.What does the underlined word “something”(Paragraph 3)most probably refer to?

　　A.Money. B.Gifts.

　　C.Financial success. D.Good luck.

　　4.The piggy bank originally was　. 

　　A.a potter’s instrument

　　B.a cheap clay container

　　C.an animal-shaped dish

　　D.a pig-like toy for children

　　5.The last paragraph talks about　. 

　　A.the seriousness of educating children

　　B.the enjoyment of taking a great trip

　　C.the importance of managing money

　　D.the difficulty of starting a business

　　B

　　Every year holidays Broughton teams up with Sopraviva Trekking to offer twelve days of unforgettable adventure in a tropical rain forest.Depending on where this year?s rain forest adventure is located,you may be going to Borneo,Malaysia,Indonesia,or even to the greatest rain forest of them all,the mighty Amazonian forest.

　　You will fly with your fellow adventurers to one of our special base camps at the edge of the forest,where you will be given five days of survival training,and talks on the local wildlife by trained and experienced experts.You will also go on walks which take you deeper and deeper under the forest canopy until on your final night you camp out in the rain forest yourself.

　　一、单句填空

　　1.for　句意:——我认为你应当因为太粗鲁向你的朋友道歉。——我明白。考查固定搭配。apologise to sb.for doing sth.因做了某事而向某人道歉。

　　2.lacking　句意:尽管缺钱,但他的父母设法供他去上大学。考查非谓语动词。his parents与lack之间为主动关系,且lack为及物动词,所以应用现在分词作状语。

　　3.in　句意:春节期间,如果你想回家可以提前买票。考查介词短语。in advance“预先,提前”,为固定词组。

　　4.aware　句意:他完全意识到了危险,但他别无选择只能前进。考查形容词短语。 be aware of “意识到”。根据句意应填aware。

　　5.appeals　句意:他有许多优秀品质,其中最突出的是他的善良,这一点每一个人都喜欢。考查动词。appeal to意为“吸引”,根据句子结构可知,应填第三人称单数。

　　6.hadn’t offered　句意:昨天如果Harold没有载我们回家的话,我们就会打车了。考查虚拟语气。表示与过去实际情况相反的假设,条件状语从句中谓语动词应该用过去完成时。

　　7.the　句意:你暂时先用着这个房间,等大点儿的房子一腾出来我们就给你。考查状语从句。分析句子结构可知,the moment引导时间状语从句,意为:一……就……。

　　8.in　句意:我真的不想去,另外外面天气那么冷。考查介词短语。in addition此外,另外。

　　9.being treated　句意:你无法想象一个孩子会受到如此残酷的对待。考查非谓语动词。imagine sb.doing sth.为固定结构,而且child与treat之间是被动关系,所以要用being done结构。

　　10.certain　句意:我记得某位著名的科学家说过我们首先应相信自己。考查形容词。此处应该用形容词certain修饰名词scientist,certain在此处表示:某一。

　　二、语法填空

　　[语篇解读]　本文叙述了作者驱车回家途中,由于疏忽致使车子差点出现故障之事,进一步说明了“人生路上需要有人来提醒自己”。

　　1.that　考查定语从句。先行词前有any 修饰,关系代词指物且在从句中作主语,用that。

　　2.Noting　考查非谓语动词。句子的主语与所给动词之间是逻辑上的被动关系,故用其现在分词形式作状语。

　　3.instructions　考查名词。空格处缺的是reading的宾语,故用所给词的名词形式;而用法说明或操作指南要用复数形式,所以答案为instructions。

　　4.a　考查冠词。根据句意可知“信号灯亮了是有问题”,而problem是单数形式,故其前用不定冠词a。

　　5.which　考查定语从句。which指代前面的一句话,在从句中作主语。

　　6.is designed　考查动词的被动语态。本句意为“设置该系统是为了帮助你发现故障”,this system和design之间是被动关系,故用一般现在时的被动语态。

　　7.how　考查副词。根据句意“生活中,我们是多么需要有人来充当check engine light”可知,空格处应用how引导宾语从句。

　　8.before　考查连词。本句意为“在未出现严重的损害前我们要改正问题”,故空格处填before。

　　9.to　考查固定搭配。yield to为固定搭配,意为“屈服于;顺从”。

　　10.to be reminded　考查动词不定式的被动形式。句中的主语与remind之间是被动关系,且need后跟to do的形式,故空格处填to be reminded。
