Question

11．Most likely，you aren't the family breadwinner．But doing a small job or getting a weekly allowance （零花钱） would put some money in your pocket．For kids and grown-ups alike，money is easy to spend．If you aren't careful，it can be going in no time．
　　Being responsible with your money is an important skill to learn-and the sooner you start the better．Whether you are tracking your spending or saving for something special，creating a budget can help you deal with your expenses and plan for the future．All you need are paper and a pencil-and some self-control．
　　First，take a look at our sample monthly budget．Then，use a separate sheet of paper to plan your own．In the first two columns （栏），list your sources （来源） of income and how much you expect to earn from them．In the third and fourth columns，list what you expect to spend your money on and the amount．
　　The left-hand total should be more than or equal to the right-hand total．If it is，you have an effective budget．Budgets are not complex，but sticking to them can be tough．When planning your budget，be realistic about your expenses．If you know that you drop  18 at a movie，don't write  12 in that space simply because you wish you were spending less．
　　If you are eyeing a big purchase，such as a  150 skateboard，spend less and save more until you have the total amount．No matter how attractive it may be，avoid spending your savings．One day，you will thank yourself!

Answer 1

分析 本文为广告应用文，文章主要教孩子们怎样做预算．

解答 56---60 ACADB
56．答案A．推理判断题．根据文章第一句"Most likely，you aren't the family breadwinner．"，breadwinner是一个合成词，由bread和winner构成，含义应该是养家糊口的人，第一句的意思是：你不是一个养家糊口的人．可知写作的对象不是parents；更不是Bank manager（银行经理）．故选A．
57．答案C．细节理解题．根据第二段中的"creating a budget can help you deal with your expenses"可知，制定预算能够帮助你管理自己的钱．故选C．
58．答案A．细节理解题．根据倒数第二段中的"When planning your budget，be realistic about your expenses．"，可知填表时要真实．故选A．
59．答案D．细节理解题．根据第三段"In the first two columns （栏），list your sources （来源） of income and how much you expect to earn from them．In the third and fourth columns，list what you expect to spend your money on and the amount．"可知，左边的栏目填收入，右边的填预算支出．故A选项的Money earned walking dogs应放在左栏．A错误．C选项中的Money earned brushing shoes也应放在左栏．C错误．根据第四段"The left-hand total should be more than or equal to the right-hand total．If it is，you have an effective budget．"可知，左边的总和要大于或等于右边的总和，才是有效的预算．B中左栏的收入为30，右栏的支出为40．故排除B选项．答案选D．
60．答案B．主旨大意题．通过全文可知，这篇文章主要教孩子们怎样做预算．故选B．

点评 做广告类阅读的五大技巧
1．先题后文法："先题后文"指的就是先读试题，了解试题的考查点，再根据试题的要求快速阅读短文．
2．题干定向法：如果题干的问题与原文中的相应句段基本相同，则可直接对号入座；如果题干的问题与原文中的相应句段有较大出入，则要进行一定的处理，这个"处理"是多方面的，它可能包括对原文进行同义变换、对概念进行解析、对事实进行归纳、将具体问题抽象化或将抽象问题具体化、将文中提到的原则或规则进行实际运用等等．
3．错误排除法：一般说来，对于那些与文意明显不符或与文章内容不相关的选项比较容易排除，但有些选项与文章内容相符，却与题干问题不吻合，即属答非所问的情形，也应作为错误项予以排除，尤其是那些从文章中摘录的句子，要特别小心，它们很有可能是干扰项．除了验证其是否能回答所提问题外，还要看它是否回答了问题的主要方面，也就是说看它是不是最佳答案，如果它只能回答所提问题的一个侧面或还有比它更合适的选项，都要毫不犹豫地将其排除．
4．信息补全法：前面讲到，广告类阅读材料的一大特点就是缩略词和省略句多．考生在做题时，要注意根据文章的上下文语境将省略句补充完整，以便于正确地理解和答题．
