19．Everybody in this world is different from one another．But do you know that understanding differences can help you better manage your money？
As we grow up，we gradually develop a set of our own values or beliefs．These are influenced by society，our family，the education we receive and so on．Once this value system is set up，it's not easy to change later in life．
Financial experts say that everyone also has their own belief of how to manage their finances．This is part of our value system and it has a great impact on the way we look after our money．
According to our different values，experts put us in three categories．They are：the ant，the cricket and the snail．
The ant works first
Just like ants who work heart and soul in summer in order to store  food for winter，these people don't care about enjoying the moment．They work very hard and save money they earn so that they can enjoy life when they get old and retire．The ant loves to save but they could make more out of their money if they were willing to invest in some funds and stocks with low risk．
The cricket  fun first
The cricket wants to enjoy everything now and doesn't think too much about the future．They even borrow money when they really want something．Many young people now belong to this group．These people have little savings．When they get old，they might have problems．They should learn to save and buy insurance．
The snail lives under pressure
The snail refers to people who make life difficult for themselves．They take big long term loans from the bank in order to buy things such as luxury houses．They are happy to take big loans even though they are not sure whether they can afford it．This can cause problems in the future．They should plan more carefully．
29．People with the character of the snail would like toC．
A．enjoy life at the moment without thinking much about the future
B．put work before everything else
C．live a luxury life at all costs
D．take the risk of investing a large sum of money

C．the insects in nature
D．the problems with dealing with money
32．Which of the following has the character that the author prefers？D

C．The snail     D．None of the above．

分析 这是一篇社会生活类短文．在我们成长的过程中，我们逐渐形成了一套自己的价值观或者人生理念．你的价值观会影响到你的花钱方式，在理财方面你属哪一类呢？

解答 29．C  细节理解题．根据最后一段"They take big long-term loans from the bank in order to buy things such as luxury houses"的意思可知：蜗牛型的人为了买豪华住房，他们宁愿选择巨额的长期贷款．故C正确．
40．D 细节理解题．作者在第二段中提到"These are influenced by society，our family，the education we receive and so on"，这些价值观或信念是在社会、家庭和我们所受到的教育等因素的综合作用下产生的．故D正确．
41．B 细节理解题．根据文中对蟋蟀族的介绍The cricket wants to enjoy everything now and doesn't think too much about the future．They even borrow money when they really want something．可知有钱就花光是属于此种类型，选B．
32．D 主旨大意题．文章开头告诉人们了解自己是哪种类型可以帮助理财，然后分别介绍了三种不同类型的人们，由此判断文章中心是关于不同人们的消费特点，选D．

点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力，做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确的选择．在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．

7．He's decided to get a look at the house and see if it might be worthbuying．
14．Green is an important color in nature．It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees．It is also the color of most growing plants．
Sometimes，the word green means young，fresh and growing．Sometimes，it describes something that is not yet ripe（成熟的） or finished．
For example，a greenhorn is someone who has no experience，who is new to a situation．In the 15th century，a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose horns（角） had not yet developed．A century or so later，a greenhorn was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in battle．By the 18th century，a greenhorn had the meaning it has today---a person who is new in a job．
About 100 years ago，greenhorn was a popular expression in the American west．Old-timers used it to describe a man who had just arrived from one of the big cities back east．The greenhorn lacked the skills he would need to live in the west．
Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb．The expression comes from the early 1900s．A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well．You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died．
Green is also the color used to describe the powerful emotion，jealousy（嫉妒）．The green-eyed monster is not a frightening creature from outer space．It is an expression used about four hundred years ago by British writer William Shakespeare in his play"Othello．"
It describes the unpleasant feeling that a person has when someone has something that he wants．A young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if his girlfriend begins going out with someone else．Or，that green-eyed monster may affect your friend if you get a pay raise and she does not．
In most places in the world，a green light is a signal to move ahead．A green light on a traffic signal means your car can continue on．In everyday speech，a green light means approval to continue with a project．
32．If a person was a greenhorn，he mightD．
A．be good at growing plants          
B．get along well with others
C．be a soldier in the 16th century       
D．have no experience in doing something
33．When you have trouble in growing flowers，you can ask for help fromA．
A．a green thumb      B．a green light  C．a greenhorn   D．a green-eyed monster
34．If a girl refuses your invitation to a dance party but accepting another gentleman's，you mayD．
A．need to buy a green light            
B．have to get a green thumb
C．show them your greenhorn          
D．be affected by the green-eyed monster
35．What is the passage mainly about？B
A．The origin of the word"green"．
B．Some expressions concerning green．
C．The story of a green-eyed monster．
D．Some ways of how to use words properly．
4．Children with autism（孤独症） have difficulty with social skills and communication．They often behave in restricted and repetitive ways and have what seem like abnormally intense interests．
Autism is more common in boys than girls．What causes it is not clear．Scientists are studying genes and possible environmental influences．
Doctors usually cannot confirm a diagnosis（诊断） of autism until a child is about three years old．Rebecca Landa is a researcher at the Kennedy Krieger Institute and Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Maryland．Professor Landa wanted to find out what differences in development might be seen earlier．She led a new study that observed 235 babies between six and 36 months of age．
"At six months of age，the signs of some risk for developing communication and social delays，including autism，include motor delays．Like when you lay your baby on their back and you pull them by the arms gently into a seated position，the baby's head may nod back behind the shoulders，like poor head control．So that does not mean that the baby is going to have autism，but it does mean the baby needs to have some exercises to strengthen their body．And when they strengthen their body，they are better able to play with toys and engage with people，which then goes on to help them have better outcomes．"
By the time a baby is one year old，signs of possible autism include difficulty in using words and not looking eye-to-eye or reaching out to other people．By 14 months，the baby might smile less and use language less．However，Professor Landa says these signs can be so small that they might be missed during a short health exam．
"It's important for parents to stay tuned into their children's development，and if a parent is concerned about a child's development，for professionals to listen to them．"
The earlier parents notice delays，she says，the sooner they can begin doing s imple things that may help improve their child's development．For example：talking to the child about what they are doing，commenting when the child shows them something，and playing simple games that keep the child's attention．

9．What's more exciting than having a fresh hot pizza delivered to your door？How about having it brought to you by a robot？Thanks to Domino's Robotic Unit or DRU，that just became a reality!On March 8，the three-feet tall robot delivered its first pizza to some lucky residents in Brisbane，Australia．
The fully autonomous DRU is the result of a cooperation between Domino's Pizza Australia and Sydney based startup Marathon Robotics．The 450-pound machine that travels at a maximum speed of 12.4miles an hour can cross a distance of up to 12miles and back，before requiring a battery recharge．LIDAR，a laser-based sensor technology similar to the one used in self-driving cars，enables DRU to detect and avoid obstacles，while traditional sensors，much like those used in vacuum robots ensure its path is safe as it heads to its destination．
The robot can fit up to ten pizzas and even has a separate cold area to accommodate drink orders．
Equipped with both Google Maps and GPS guidance，DRU can navigate bike paths and sidewalks and also find the most efficient way to its destination．Since the robot does not have to deal with road traffic，it could potentially make deliveries a lot quicker than humans．To access their food，customers have to enter the unique code provided to them by the company．This not only ensures that they pick up the right pizza，but also prevents the pies from getting stolen en route．
Though Domino's has thus far built just a single prototype（样机），they expect additional DRU to be ready for service in their various Queensland locations within the next six months．But don't expect these super cute robots to replace humans anytime soon．According to Domino's the DRU still needs extensive testing，which the company believes could take up to two years．
And then there is also the problem of regulations．The public use of autonomous vehicles is still banned in most countries．But Don Meij，the CEO and Managing Director of Domino's Pizza Australia New Zealand Ltd，is not worried．One day DRU will become an integral part of the Domino's family．"We for one cannot wait!

28．The first paragraph is mainly used toC．
A．comment              B．praise          C．introduce         D．conclude
29．How can DRU detect and avoid obstacles？B
A．By navigating bike paths and sidewalks
B．By using a laser-based sensor technology
C．By being equipped with both Google Maps and GPS-guidance
D．By using traditional sensors，much like those used in vacuum robots
30．What must a customer do to get the food delivered by DRU？D
A．He/She should press their finger on a fingerprint scanner
B．He/She should let the robot recognize his/her face
C．He/She should scan the QR （quick response） code on the robot
D．He/She should enter a cod supplied by the company
31．What can we know from the last two paragraphsA
A．The DRU requires to be tested further
B．Domino's has built a few kinds of such a robot
C．Don Meij is the CEO of Sydney based startup Marathon Robotics
D．The public use of autonomous vehicles is allowed in most parts of Australia．
