Answer 1

【小题1】G
【小题2】F
【小题3】D
【小题4】A
【小题5】C

解析试题分析：文章第一段提出了要解决的问题即“家长如何教会孩子理财”然后从三方面提供解决问题的方法分别为解释钱的功能、教会理性花钱和作出明智选择。
【小题1】G 根据后文连接词So可以判断此处上下文应该是因果关系。此外空格后面一句话中的“...when your child shows an interest in buying things...”是对空格信息的复现。
【小题2】F 此处内容应该与上一句“If he wants to have a toy...”有关即都牵涉“买玩具”这件事。此外选项F意思为“当你们离开玩具店时告诉孩子钱是怎么买到东西的”这与本段的小标题The basic function of money是非常吻合的因此该选项放在此位置是再合适不过了。
【小题3】D 根据后文的两个假设即两个if从句来看该空格应该是后文意义的概括即告诉孩2子为什么能或者不能买某些东西然后针对空格内容进行了两种情况的介绍。
【小题4】A 此题要求确立本段的小标题。这一段主要讲的是家长如何帮助孩子在商店作出明智的决定。此外根据各个选项的句式特征不难看出正确答案应该在A、B两项中根据两个选项中的关键词decision和value再结合段意也不难得出正确答案。.
【小题5】C该选项中的Permit与后句中的allow构成同义关系the child与he构成指代关系 choose与后句中的chooses是词语复现them与前句中的different brands构成指代关系。
