timehonored coinsavings container.any huge task seems easier when reduced to baby steps. if you wished to climb a 12,000foot 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 aftertax, 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 years 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 orangecolored 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 moneycollege 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.作者在本文中介紹了the piggy bank strategy也就是存錢策略，并介紹了the piggy bank的起源和目的，號(hào)召人們都養(yǎng)成儲(chǔ)蓄的好習(xí)慣。1what 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.答案d解析根據(jù)文章第二段前3行if you wished to climb a 12,000foot 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.作者通過(guò)這個(gè)例子告訴我們piggy bank strategy就是指每天都存一點(diǎn)錢以備未來(lái)之用。故d正確。2why did the writers 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.答案c解析根據(jù)第三段第一句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.父母給我這個(gè)儲(chǔ)蓄罐的目的是告訴我，如果想要得到某個(gè)東西，就要自己存錢來(lái)買。通過(guò)這個(gè)做法來(lái)養(yǎng)成存蓄的習(xí)慣。故c正確。3what does the underlined word “something” (paragraph 3) most probably refer to?a. money. b. gifts.c. financial success. d. good luck.答案a解析根據(jù)本句around the world, many believe a gift of a piggy bank on new years day brings good luck and financial success. ah, but you have to put something in it.世界各地的人都認(rèn)為儲(chǔ)蓄罐是一個(gè)很好的能夠帶來(lái)好運(yùn)和經(jīng)濟(jì)成功的禮物，但是條件是你要向里面放錢。因?yàn)閮?chǔ)蓄罐就是用來(lái)養(yǎng)成存錢的習(xí)慣的，如果你不存錢，那就失去了價(jià)值。something指money。故a正確。4the piggy bank originally was .a. a potters instrumentb. a cheap clay containerc. an animalshaped dishd. a piglike toy for children答案b解析根據(jù)文章第四段3,4,5行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 orangecolored clay (黏土) called “pygg”， and folks saved coins in pygg jars.可知以前沒有銀行的時(shí)候，人們就是使用黏貼罐來(lái)存放零錢的，the piggy bank就是最初的儲(chǔ)蓄罐。故b正確。5the last paragraph talks about .a. the seriousness of educating childrenb. the enjoyment of taking a great tripc. the importance of managing moneyd. the difficulty of starting a business答案c解析根據(jù)本段前兩句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.儲(chǔ)蓄罐不僅可以幫助孩子養(yǎng)成存錢的好習(xí)慣，而且對(duì)成年人也是有好處的。所以本段講述的是儲(chǔ)蓄罐的重要性。故c正確。三、完形填空albert was a skilled artist. he had a wife and two fine sons. one night, his

a stomachache意為“胃痛”，是固定短語(yǔ)。故選b。2d根據(jù)句中的“they didnt take it ”可知，他們沒把胃痛當(dāng)回事，認(rèn)為這僅僅是常見病。usual意為“通常的，平常的”，指常見常聞和常做的事，強(qiáng)調(diào)慣常性；normal意為“正常的”，指不超過(guò)某種限度，符合某種標(biāo)準(zhǔn)或常規(guī)；general意為“一般的，普通的”，語(yǔ)氣強(qiáng)于common，側(cè)重大多如此，很少有例外情況；common意為“共同的，普通的”，多用于指物，側(cè)重很常見，不稀奇。故選d。3c根據(jù)下文中的“.if he had only realized the seriousness of the situation”可知，他們沒有把胃痛當(dāng)回事。carefully意為“小心地”；importantly意為“重要地”；seriously意為“嚴(yán)重地，嚴(yán)肅地”；necessarily意為“必要地，必然地”。take sth. seriously意為“認(rèn)真對(duì)待某事”，是固定短語(yǔ)。故選c。4a句意為：如果當(dāng)時(shí)他認(rèn)識(shí)到事態(tài)的嚴(yán)重性，兒子的死是可以避免的。本句是對(duì)過(guò)去發(fā)生事情的虛擬與假設(shè)。prevent意為“防止，阻止”；protect意為“保護(hù)”；forbid意為“禁止”；remove意為“移動(dòng)，遷移”。a項(xiàng)符合語(yǔ)境。故選a。5b根據(jù)上句“knowing the death could have been if he had only realized the seriousness of the situation”可知，藝術(shù)家對(duì)兒子的去世感到很內(nèi)疚，因而在巨大的負(fù)罪感的重壓下，藝術(shù)家崩潰了。break up意為“打碎”；break down意為“崩潰”；break out意為“爆發(fā)”；break off意為“中止”。故選b。6d根據(jù)上文中的“but the boy died suddenly that night.”和下文“his wife left him, leaving him alone with his sixyearold younger son”可知，藝術(shù)家的妻子在大兒子突然死去后又離開了他，給他留下了六歲的小兒子。這是雪上加霜的事情。condition意為“情況”；affair意為“事情，事務(wù)”；incident意為“事件，事變”；matter意為“事件，物質(zhì)”。to make matters worse意為“更糟糕的是”，是固定短語(yǔ)。故選d。7c根據(jù)下文“he became an

behind”可知，藝術(shù)家沒給小兒子留下任何物質(zhì)財(cái)產(chǎn)。由此判斷，藝術(shù)家失去了他擁有的一切他的家庭、他的土地、他的藝術(shù)品、一切的一切。possess意為“控制，擁有”；share意為“分享，分擔(dān)”；receive意為“收到，接待”；accept意為“接受，承認(rèn)”。故選a。9c根據(jù)上句“what a complete failure！”可知，作者在知道藝術(shù)家的去世時(shí)，認(rèn)為他是個(gè)完全失敗的人，他的人生是完全失敗的人生。mostly意為“主要地”；naturally意為“自然地”；totally意為“完全地”；possibly意為“可能地”。totally和上句中的“complete”對(duì)應(yīng)。故選c。10a句意為：隨著時(shí)間的流逝，我開始重估自己早些時(shí)候?qū)λ囆g(shù)家的評(píng)價(jià)。as意為“隨著”；while意為“當(dāng)?shù)臅r(shí)候”；after意為“在之后”；when意為“當(dāng)?shù)臅r(shí)候”。故選a。11c隨著時(shí)間的流逝，作者在與藝術(shù)家的小兒子交往中，開始重估自己早些時(shí)候?qū)lbert的評(píng)價(jià)。explanation意為“解釋，說(shuō)明”；concern意為“關(guān)心，關(guān)系”；judgement意為“評(píng)價(jià)，意見”；description意為“描述，描寫”。根據(jù)下文“i had been to judge albert”可知，此處指對(duì)他的評(píng)價(jià)。故選c。12d根據(jù)下文“what did he do that you became such a special person？”可知，作者詢問(wèn)藝術(shù)家的小兒子，藝術(shù)家到底做了什么使他成為這樣一個(gè)特別的人。正是因?yàn)樽髡咧郎屏己腿蕫郾囟▉?lái)自某處，才有下文的發(fā)問(wèn)。anywhere意為“任何地方”；everywhere意為“每個(gè)地方”；nowhere意為“無(wú)處”；somewhere意為“某個(gè)地方”。故選d。13b根據(jù)上文可知，藝術(shù)家成為了酒鬼，失去了一切，而他的小兒子卻是作者見過(guò)的最善良最有愛心的人，所以作者鼓起勇氣詢問(wèn)藝術(shù)家的小兒子以解開他心中的疑惑。hope意為“希望”；courage意為“勇氣，膽量”；power意為“能力，政權(quán)”；strength意為“力量，力氣”。gather
