题目内容
【题目】One solution to this problem now is sustainable development.
A. discussed B. discussing
C. to be discussed D. being discussed
【答案】D
【解析】试题分析：考察非谓语动词。因为后面的now可以判断是正在发生的事，所以用现在分词表示，而问题的解决方案是被讨论的，所以是被动的。结合起来就是分词的被动式，solution是being discussed的逻辑主语。句意：正在讨论的这个问题的解决方法就是可持续发展。

On board the ship, you will be well taken care of. Every meal will be first-class and every cabin like your home. During the trip, you can rest on deck(甲板), enjoy yourself in the games rooms and in the evening dance to our musical team and watch our wonderful play.

【题目】Most likely, you aren’t the family breadwinner. But doing a small job or getting a weekly allowance 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 gone 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 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, list your sources 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.
Sample Monthly Budget
Monthly income | Amount | Monthly Expenses | Amount |
Allowance | $ 20.00 | Snacks | $ 26.00 |
Money earned selling drinks | $ 25.00 | Music downloads | $ 12.00 |
Money earned babysitting | $ 12.50 | Movies | $ 18.00 |
Money earned delivering newspapers | $ 30.00 | Video Rentals | $ 10.00 |
Total: | $ 87.50 | Total： | $ 66.00 |
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!
