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，號召人們都養(yǎng)成儲蓄的好習慣。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.作者通過這個例子告訴我們piggy bank strategy就是指每天都存一點錢以備未來之用。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.父母給我這個儲蓄罐的目的是告訴我，如果想要得到某個東西，就要自己存錢來買。通過這個做法來養(yǎng)成存蓄的習慣。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.世界各地的人都認為儲蓄罐是一個很好的能夠帶來好運和經濟成功的禮物，但是條件是你要向里面放錢。因為儲蓄罐就是用來養(yǎng)成存錢的習慣的，如果你不存錢，那就失去了價值。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候，人們就是使用黏貼罐來存放零錢的，the piggy bank就是最初的儲蓄罐。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.儲蓄罐不僅可以幫助孩子養(yǎng)成存錢的好習慣，而且對成年人也是有好處的。所以本段講述的是儲蓄罐的重要性。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 elder son 1 a severe stomachache. thinking it was

material答案與解析本文是一篇夾敘夾議文。albert是位技藝精湛的藝術家。在大兒子不幸去世后，妻子離家，留下了六歲的小兒子讓他獨自養(yǎng)育。藝術家無法承受這些傷害和痛苦，整天借酒消愁。不久藝術家就失去了所有財產，然而他卻每天晚上親吻小兒子并對他說愛他。藝術家離世后沒有給小兒子留下任何物質財產，卻留給了他最好的精神財產愛，讓他成為最善良最有愛心的人。1bgain意為“獲得，增加”；have意為“有”；affect意為“影響，感染”；hold意為“擁有，持有”。have a stomachache意為“胃痛”，是固定短語。故選b。2d根據句中的“they didnt take it ”可知，他們沒把胃痛當回事，認為這僅僅是常見病。usual意為“通常的，平常的”，指常見常聞和常做的事，強調慣常性；normal意為“正常的”，指不超過某種限度，符合某種標準或常規(guī)；general意為“一般的，普通的”，語氣強于common，側重大多如此，很少有例外情況；common意為“共同的，普通的”，多用于指物，側重很常見，不稀奇。故選d。3c根據下文中的“.if he had only realized the seriousness of the situation”可知，他們沒有把胃痛當回事。carefully意為“小心地”；importantly意為“重要地”；seriously意為“嚴重地，嚴肅地”；necessarily意為“必要地，必然地”。take sth. seriously意為“認真對待某事”，是固定短語。故選c。4a句意為：如果當時他認識到事態(tài)的嚴重性，兒子的死是可以避免的。本句是對過去發(fā)生事情的虛擬與假設。prevent意為“防止，阻止”；protect意為“保護”；forbid意為“禁止”；remove意為“移動，遷移”。a項符合語境。故選a。5b根據上句“knowing the death could have been if he had only realized the seriousness of the situation”可知，藝術家對兒子的去世感到很內疚，因而在巨大的負罪感的重壓下，藝術家崩潰了。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”；incident意為“事件，事變”；matter意為“事件，物質”。to make matters worse意為“更糟糕的是”，是固定短語。故選d。7c根據下文“he became an alcoholic(酒鬼)”可知，藝術家無法應對這些傷害和痛苦，他變成了酒鬼。deal意為“處理”，是不及物動詞；keep意為“保持，遵守”；handle意為“處理”，是及物動詞；take意為“拿，獲得”。故選c。8a根據最后一段第二句“he had not left any possessions behind”可知，藝術家沒給小兒子留下任何物質財產。由此判斷，藝術家失去了他擁有的一切他的家庭、他的土地、他的藝術品、一切的一切。possess意為“控制，擁有”；share意為“分享，分擔”；receive意為“收到，接待”；accept意為“接受，承認”。故選a。9c根據上句“what a complete failure！”可知，作者在知道藝術家的去世時，認為他是個完全失敗的人，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”對應。故選c。10a句意為：隨著時間的流逝，我開始重估自己早些時候對藝術家的評價。as意為“隨著”；while意為“當的時候”；after意為“在之后”；when意為“當的時候”。故選a。11c隨著時間的流逝，作者在與藝術家的小兒子交往中，開始重估自己早些時候對albert的評價。explanation意為“解釋，說明”；concern意為“關心，關系”；judgement意為“評價，意見”；description意為“描述，描寫”。根據下文“i had been to judge albert”可知，此處指對他的評價。故選c。12d根據下文“what did he do that you became such a special person？”可知，作者詢問藝術家的小兒子，藝術家到底做了什么使他成為這樣一個特別的人。正是因為作者知道善良和仁愛必定來自某處，才有下文的發(fā)問。anywhere意為“任何地方”；everywhere意為“每個地方”；nowhere意為“無處”；somewhere意為“某個地方”。故選d。13b根據上文可知，藝術家成為了酒鬼，失去了一切，而他的小兒子卻是作者見過的最善良最有愛心的人，所以作者鼓起勇氣詢問藝術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”；strength意為“力量，力氣”。gather ones courage意為“鼓起勇氣”，是習慣搭配。故選b。14d根據下文“your father was basically the only one to you as i know. what
