( ) 1.He opened a shop ______ the street.

A.across
B.over
C.above
D.through

A

本题主要考查介词词义辨析。across表示“从表面穿过”；over表示“在……上方，越过”；above表示“在……上面（不一定垂直）”；through表示“从内部穿过”。句子表达的是他在街道对面开了一家商店，across the street表示“在街道对面”，符合语境。

( ) 2.When you have a job and children to look after, you have to learn how to ______ your time.

A.decide
B.change
C.manage
D.take

C

首先分析句子意思，“When you have a job and children to look after, you have to learn how to ______ your time.” 当你有一份工作和孩子需要照顾时，你必须学会如何______你的时间。接下来分析选项，A选项“decide”意为“决定”，B选项“change”意为“改变”，C选项“manage”意为“管理、安排”，D选项“take”意为“拿、取”。根据句意，这里需要表达的是“管理、安排时间”，所以C选项“manage”最符合语境。

( ) 3.It is a good idea for us ______ some fruit and vegetables every day.

A.eating
B.eats
C.eat
D.to eat

D

在这个句子中，我们需要找到一个合适的动词形式来填空。选项A是动词的现在分词形式，选项B是动词的第三人称单数形式，选项C是动词的原形，而选项D是动词的不定式形式。根据英语语法，“It is a good idea for sb to do sth”是一个固定句型，表示“对某人来说，做某事是个好主意”。因此，我们需要用动词的不定式形式来填空。

( ) 4.We have a small budget. Would £50 ______ your travel expenses (费用)?

A.cover
B.pay
C.cost
D.buy

A

首先分析各选项含义，A选项“cover”有“足够支付”的意思；B选项“pay”表示“支付”，常用搭配是“pay for sth.”；C选项“cost”表示“花费”，主语通常是物；D选项“buy”表示“买”。题目中“Would £50 ______ your travel expenses?”意思是“50英镑______你的旅行费用吗？”，这里表达的是50英镑是否足够支付旅行费用，“cover”符合语境。而“pay”用法不符合此处结构；“cost”主语应是物，这里主语是钱，不合适；“buy”与支付旅行费用语境不符。所以应选A。

( ) 5.He always puts a little money aside each month, ______.

A.singing in the rain
B.saving for a rainy day
C.raining cats and dogs
D.just the calm before the storm

B

首先分析各个选项的含义。A选项“singing in the rain”意为在雨中唱歌，与题干中“每月存一点钱”的语境不符；C选项“raining cats and dogs”意为下倾盆大雨，同样与题意不符；D选项“just the calm before the storm”意为暴风雨前的宁静，也不符合题意。而B选项“saving for a rainy day”意为未雨绸缪，与题干中“他每月都存一点钱”的行为相吻合。

In the UK, children can do part-time work only when they reach the age of 13. Many children do part-time jobs before or after school and at the weekend. The most common jobs are babysitting (taking care of babies) and paper rounds (sending newspapers to people's homes). Cleaning and working in a shop are also popular jobs.
Students can work for less than two hours every weekday and on Sunday. If they want to work on Saturday or during school holidays, the number of working hours depends on their ages. And they cannot work before 7 a.m. or after 7 p.m. (but babysitters can work later).
Properly regulated (规范的) part-time work is a good way to help students learn skills and teach them how to work with other people and manage their money.
