试题分析:本文给人们介绍了几种减少家庭预算,节约开支的方法。比如做家庭记账单,以便明确可减少的费用;购物前要上网查询,与商店物品价格进行比较;再者要多利用自然光线,节约用电;而且尽量减少在外就餐次数。
小题1:G考查对上下文的推理判读能力。从前后句可知此处为过渡性句子,用来引出下文要给的关于减少开支的几点建议,而G选项中的making small changes 恰好与下文的建议相吻合,所以答案选G。
小题2:E考查对上下文的推理判读能力。前面内容都是关于如何对日常花费进行记录,所以根据段落的发展,最后应该是总结概括性句子,而E选项中的in this way和obvious ways恰恰能够和上面内容相呼应。故E选项正确。
小题3:F考查对上下文的推理判读能力。上文建议要在网上查询比较要买的货物价格,所以此处也要和网上以及实体商店有关,而F选项中出现的 local store和online 等关键词恰好就是正确选项的提示。故F为正确选项。
小题4:D考查对上下文的推理判读能力。此处的前后信息都是讲节约用电,而D选项中对于自然光的利用也和节约用电有关,所以正确选项为D。
小题5:A考查对上下文的推理判读能力。由下文 restaurant 判断,此处应该是和吃饭有关,本文着重介绍节约花费,所以A恰好为正确选项,意思是尽量要在家里吃饭。

Money Matters
Parents should help their children understand money.小题1:   So you may start talking about money when your child shows an interest in buying things, candy or toys, for example.
The basic function of money
Begin explaining the basic function of money by showing how people trade money for goods or services. It is important to show your child how money is traded for the things he wants to have. If he wants to have a toy, give him the money and let him hand the money to the cashier(收银员). 小题2:    When your child grows a bit older and understands the basic function of money, you can start explaining more complex ways of using money.
Money lessons
Approach money lessons with openness and honesty. 小题3:    If you must say no to a child’s request to spend money, explain, “ You have enough toy trucks for now.” Or, if the request is for many different things, say, “You have to make a choice between this toy and that toy.”
小题4:    
Begin at the grocery store. Pick out two similar brands of a product---a name-brand butter and a generic (无商标产品),for example. You can show your child how to make choices between different brands of a product so that you can save money.小题5:    If he chooses the cheaper brand, allow him to make another purchase with the money saved. Later, you may explain how the more expensive choice leaves less money for other purchases.
A.Wise decisions
B.The value of money
C.Permit the child to choose between them.
D.Tell your child why he can –or cannot --- have certain things.
E. Ask yourself what things that cost money are most important to you
F. Talk about how the money bought the thing after you leave the toy store.
G. The best time to teach a child anything about money is when he shows an interest.

阅读短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题。(请注意问题后的词数要求)
My name is Clara. I still remember that chilly December day, sitting in science class. I’d finished a worksheet early and picked up a TIME for Kids magazine. A piece of news caught my eye: NASA was holding an essay contest to name its Mars rover(火星探测器).Before I even knew anything else about it, a single word flooded my 11-year-old mind, Curiosity.
I couldn’t want for the bell to ring so I could get started on my essay. That afternoon, I raced home, sat down at the computer, and typed until my fingers ached. “Curiosity is an everlasting flame that burns in everyone’s mind...”
Five months later, my mom received a phone call, and immediately, a wide smile spread across her face.
On August 5,2012,at 10:31 p.m, the rover named Curiosity touched down safely on the surface of Mars, and I was honored to have a front-row seat in NASA.
Curiosity is such an important part of who I am. I have always been fascinated by the stars, the planets, the sky and the universe. I remember as a little girl, my grandmother and I would sit together in the backyard for hours. She’d tell me stories and point out the stars, Grandma lived in China, thousands of miles away from my home in Kansas, but the stars kept us together even when we were apart. They were always there, yet there was so much I didn’t know about them. That’s what I love so much about space.
People often ask me why we go to faraway places like Mares. My answer is simple because we’re curious. We human beings do not just hole up in one place. We are constantly wondering and trying to find out what’s over the hill and beyond the horizon.
小题1:How did Clara get the new about the essay contest?( no more than 10 words)
小题2:Why did Clara have a front-row seat in NASA?( no more than 10 words)
小题3:What does Clara remember about the time spent with Grandma?( no more than 15 words)
小题4:What does the underlined phrase “hole up”mean?(1 word)
小题5:In your opinion, why is curiosity important?( no more than 20 words)
