() 6.—Do you understand the saying "Prepare for a rainy day"?
—Yes. It tells us that we should make a plan ______ something bad really happens.

A.before
B.until
C.since
D.after

A

本题可根据各选项连词的含义，结合题干语境来选择合适的答案。
选项A：“before”意为“在……之前”。代入题干“we should make a plan before something bad really happens”，意思是“我们应该在坏事真的发生之前制定一个计划”，符合“未雨绸缪”这句谚语的含义。
选项B：“until”意为“直到……为止”。若选此项，句子意思为“我们应该制定一个计划直到坏事真的发生”，这与“未雨绸缪”的意思不符。
选项C：“since”意为“自从；因为”。代入题干后，无论是“自从坏事真的发生”还是“因为坏事真的发生”，都不符合“未雨绸缪”的语境。
选项D：“after”意为“在……之后”。若选此项，句子意思为“我们应该在坏事真的发生之后制定一个计划”，这与“未雨绸缪”的含义相悖。
综上，正确答案是A。

四、信息还原(七选五)
Are you good at shopping? Can you make the best of your money? 1 They say I am smart because I always make the best of my money and buy the most suitable things. Here is the way I do the shopping.
I never buy too many things. 2 I write down what I need and buy them one by one. I never say, " 3 " I buy something only because I need it, not because it's cheap. So don't waste any money on cheap things.
4 I know how much money I can use to buy the things every time. I know money doesn't grow on trees. I seldom spend more than the budget.
I usually go shopping at the right place and the right time. I dislike to go to shops with too many people. Shopping with too many people around often makes me spend more. And I don't go shopping when I'm tired or hungry, so I don't buy things in a hurry. 5
