Ⅵ.【语篇导读】本文介绍了英国的很多学生在家通过做家务赚取零花钱这一现象。以Black先生为例,他给做家务的女儿们少量零花钱,同时希望借此培养女儿们的金钱管理能力。
1. A 根据“Many students in England do housework at home.”以及“Also, they want their children to do...”可知,让孩子做家务的应该是父母。
2. C 根据“Also, they want their children to do something difficult or...”可知,or连接的词应与difficult在感情色彩上相近,boring“无聊的”与difficult“困难的”一样,带有一定消极色彩。
3. C 根据上文“Many students in England do housework at home.”以及通读全文可知,父母给孩子零花钱是因为他们做了家务。
4. A 句意:孩子们通过做家务挣钱。make money是固定短语,意为“挣钱”。
5. A 根据“Mr Black... that he gives his eight and eleven-year-old daughters Sasha and Malia just a dollar every week...”可知,这里是Black先生说他给女儿们零花钱的情况。
6. C 句意:Black先生说,他每周只给他八岁和十一岁的女儿Sasha和Malia一美元,因为她们在周末帮忙擦桌子、洗碗以及……前后分句是因果关系。
7. C 根据“... they help to clean the table, wash the dishes and clean up their... on weekends.”可知,此处是在描述在家做家务的场景。
8. B 句意:对于所做的这些家务来说,一美元并不多,但这两个女孩却很高兴能攒下她们的零花钱。happy“高兴的”符合语境。
9. A 根据“They can buy their favourite books or food with...”可知,这里用代词指代前面提到的pocket money,pocket money是不可数名词,用it指代。
10. C 句意:Black先生希望他的女儿们能学到一些金钱管理技巧。learn“学习”符合语境。
