(建议用时：35分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2020·桂林、崇左联合模拟)Jamey Turner often performs to large crowds in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia. You can find him playing an unusual musical instrument, the glass harp(竖琴), near Alexandria’s historic waterfront.A glass harp is made up of differentsized drinking glasses, each containing water. Turner makes music by running his fingers over the tops of the glasses. By doing so, each glass makes a different musical sound.Turner is 78 years old now. He became interested in playing the glass harp at the age of six, when he heard his father playing with a glass of water at the dinner table. He has been playing it for 50 years.Today Turner puts together his instrument by placing 60 different glasses on a wooden soundboard. He holds the glasses in place with rubber bands, which keeps them from breaking. He then adds different amounts of water to each one to create different musical notes. Adding or taking away just a little water will change the sound. Adding water to a glass will make a lower sound. The smaller bowls of water produce a higher sound, while the larger ones produce a lower, deeper sound.Turner always uses lowpriced glass because it sounds better than costly crystal(水晶) and he has more control over the sound. Before buying new glasses, he will test them in stores.The glass harp was popular 300 years ago when composers like Wolfgang Mozart wrote music for the instrument. There have been about 400 pieces of music written just for the glass harp. But Turner plays all kinds of music, even popular music from China. Few people play the glass harp these days, but Turner says he sees videos of people experimenting with the instrument on the Internet. He hopes the next generation will continue making their music.【解题导语】杰米·特纳经常在弗吉尼亚州亚历山大人群密集的地方演奏玻璃竖琴：敲击不同大小的盛水的玻璃杯，发出动听的乐声。

第一部分必修五Module 1Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2015·重庆，A)导学号 02280622 At thirteen，I was diagnosed (诊断) with a kind of attention disorder.It made school difficult for me.When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks，I could not.In my first literature class，Mrs.Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it，all within 45 minutes.I raised my hand right away and said，“Mrs.Smith，you see，the doctor said I have attention problems.I might not be able to do it.”She glanced down at me through her glasses，“You are no different from your classmates，young man.”I tried，but I didn't finish the reading when the bell rang.I had to take it home.In the quietness of my bedroom，the story suddenly all became clear to me.It was about a blind person，Louis Braille.He lived in a time when the blind couldn't get much education.But Louis didn't give up.Instead，he invented a reading system of raised dots (点)，which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.Wasn't I the “blind” in my class，being made to learn like the “sighted”students？My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance.I completed the task within 40 minutes.Indeed，I was no different from others；I just needed a quieter place.If Louis could find his way out of his problems，why should I ever give up?I didn't expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs.Smith，so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day—with an “A” on it.At the bottom of the paper were these words：“See what you can do when you keep trying？”语篇解读：本文讲述了作者上学时的个人经历。
【新高考】2021高考英语人教版一轮复习：阅读理解话题五 饮食与健康(B) (含解析)
话题五饮食与健康(B)Ⅰ.阅读理解A[2020·安徽重点中学盟校模拟]On average, Americans spend about 10 hours a day in front of a computer or other electronic devices(设备) and less than 30 minutes a day outdoors. That is a claim made by David Strayer, a professor of psychology at the University of Utah. In his 2017 TED Talk, Strayer explained that all this time spent with technology is making our brains tired.Using an electronic device to answer emails, listen to the news and look at social media puts a lot of pressure on the front of the brain, which, Strayer explains, is important for critical(有判断力的) thinking, problem-solving and decision-making.So, it is important to give the brain a rest. And being in nature, Strayer claims, helps get a tired brain away from too much technology. More than 15,000 campers from around the world attended an international camping festival in September. That is when friends and family take time off and escape to nature for several days. They take walks, climb, explore, swim, sleep, eat and play. Camping may be just what a tired brain needs.Take Carl for example. He lives in West Virginia and enjoys camping. He says that staying outdoors makes him feel at ease. It also prepares him for the work he must do. Kate Somers is another example who also lives in West Virginia. She says she enjoys camping with her husband and two children. She calls it a “regenerative” experience.At the University of Utah, David Strayer has studied both short-term and long-term exposure to nature. He found that spending short amounts of time in nature without technology does calm the brain and helps it to remember better. However, he found, it is the long-term contact with nature that does the most good. He and his research team found that spending three days in nature without any technology is enough time for the brain to fully relax and reset itself.1．What is David Strayer's opinion?A．Americans dislike outdoor activities.B．Electronic equipment should be quitted.C．New technologies are a double-edged sword.D．Electronic equipment brings great convenience.2．Why does Strayer insist we go outdoors?A．To try another lifestyle.B．To refresh our brain.C．To make better decisions.D．To play with our family and friends.3．What does the underlined word “regenerative”mean?A．Reborn. B．Memorable.C．Remarkable. D．Tiring.4．Which is the proper title for the passage?A．Electronic Equipment Harms the BrainB．Good Rest Develops Good MemoryC．Tips on Using New TechnologiesD．Being in Nature Is Good for the BrainB[2020·南昌市重点中学高三年级段考试题] Laura Sides was a psychology major at the University of Nottingham in 2004. She first noticed signs of her dad's developing dementia(痴呆) when she moved to Nottingham. She said, “Dad was a doctor, so he knew exactly what was happening to him, but people try to hide it when they are ill. Then, I came home for my 21st birthday and arranged to meet him, but he never showed up as he'd forgotten. That's when I knew something serious was happening.”So, aged 21, she decided to leave university and look after him herself. She lived close by, popping in every day to make sure he was eating, and that the house was tidy, before heading off to her work.Besides challenging moments, there were times when looking after her dad was a pure joy. “We'd wake up, I'd ask what he wanted to do that day, and however ridiculous the adventure, off we'd go.”Sadly, in 2009, 5 years later, Laura lost her father. Before he died, Laura went to a hospital appointment with him, where doctors mentioned that his form of Alzheimer's was genetic meaning there was a fifty-fifty chance that she had inherited it. For several years Laura agonised over whether to be tested, finally finding out in August 2017 that she has the APP gene, meaning that, like him, she will develop the condition within a decade.At first, she struggled, feeling as if she lacked purpose. Then, during a sleepless night in the summer of 2018, she decided at around 2 a. m. to enter the 2019 London Marathon sponsored by the charities Alzheimer's Society and Alzheimer's Research UK.She hoped to start the conversation around early-onset Alzheimer's and to encourage people to talk about it more openly. “I remember whenDad was ill, people wouldn't know how to react and it all felt very hidden away, but I want to be honest an open.”She added, “The more information we can get, the less of a taboo(忌讳) this will feel. That said, the support I've received so far after going public has been amazing —that's what is carrying me through.”5．Laura noticed her father's dementia when ________.A．her father told her his condition in personB．people nearby informed her of his father's conditionC．her father forgot his own birthday partyD．her father forgot to attend her 21-year-old birthdayparty6．The underlined word “agonised” in Paragraph 4 probably means ________.A．excited B．struggledC．shocked D．delighted7．Laura started the open talk in the hope of ________.A．getting people to talk about Alzheimer's openlyB．earning some money to help treat her Alzheimer'sC．making herself stronger to fight against Alzheimer'sD．raising funds for charities Alzheimer's Society and Alzheimer's Research UK8．Which words can best describe Laura?A．Caring and positive. B．Careful and honest.C．Patient and cautious. D．Devoted and modest.Ⅱ.七选五[2020·安徽重点中学盟校模拟]Making Your Way Through the Lunchroom What's everyone's favorite period?

AStrange Museums You Never KnowSome museums hold stranger collections than others. Here's our list of the extremely unusual ones.The Museum of Bad ArtThey say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and to the curators at the Museum of Bad Art, none of these pieces are beautiful. They're either bad pieces made by otherwise talented artists, or bad pieces made by untalented artists. The collection includes portraits, landscapes, and still life pieces.International Banana MuseumYou can find practically every object shaped like a banana at this museum in Mecca, California. Some examples: staplers, statues, record players, and salt and pepper shakers. Even better, you can also eat practically any banana-flavored treat here, like banana ice cream, banana soda, and, of course, banana splits.Busy Beaver Button MuseumLearn about the history of buttons. Appreciate a collection of political, humorous, and just plain entertaining buttons. You can even make your own button at this hidden Chicago museum. And you can get a reward if you complete some 18th century puzzles.National Museum of Roller SkatingThis museum in Lincoln. Nebraska. has the largest collection of historical roller skates, in the world. Some skates are almost 200 years old! There are also skating costumes, thousands of photos of skaters and programs from national and international roller skating competitions.International UFO Museum and Research CenterDo aliens(外星人)exist? If so, what is their preferred mode of transportation? The IUFOMRC in Roswell, New Mexico, is dedicated to answering these questions and researching UFO activity. It includes exhibits on crop circles, Area 51 and other alien-related events. It even keeps an official record of UFO sightings across the country.1. What can we do in the Busy Beaver Button Museum?A. Learn about the museum's history.B. Admire buttons of all kinds.C. Find the hidden buttons in the museum.D. Reward those who complete puzzles.2. If you are crazy about outer space civilization, which museum could be your choice?A. The Museum of Bad Art.B. International Banana Museum.C. National Museum of Roller Skating.D. International UFO Museum and Research Center.3. What do these museums have in common?A. Rich history.B. Practical impact.C. Unusual exhibition.D. International influence.BLast week, my younger brother visited me for five days. To ensure I could spend as much time with him as possible, I worked extra hard during the weekend before he arrived.It amazed me how much I could accomplish when I had a strong motivation to be efficient.During the week, I put in a couple of hours in the mornings to handle pressing issues and then spent the afternoons and evenings going out with him. Once again, I was surprised to realize justhow much free time was available to me if I consciously(有意识地)chose to be more effective while working.This made me think of Parkinson's Law: Work expands to fill the time available for its completion.I realized then that I'd given myself more time than necessary for work, and as a result, I ended up spending a lot of time delaying needlessly and entertaining myself online.How might things change for me, I wondered, if I chose to commit to more social and recreational(休闲娱乐)activities, made them priorities(优先事项)and was motivated to finish work quicker?I realize not everyone has flexible work schedules, but I believe we could all create more time for ourselves if we were motivated to cut out the choices that don't match our strongest desires and intentions. Maybe it's being absent-minded in front of the TV or searching the web.I believe what English musician John Lennon said is true: Time that you enjoyed wasting was not wasted. I don't think there's anything wrong with using technology if we've consciously chosen to do it.However, we owe it to ourselves to get out in the world and explore different possibilities-to be playful, curious, engaged and just to be.Perhaps it would be easier to do that if we asked ourselves: How can I be more effective? Can I minimize what I am currently doing? How can I start using the time I've created in a way that will excite and inspire me?4. How did the author feel when she finished her work in advance?A. Guilty.B. Amazed.C. Stressed.D. Exhausted.5. made the author think of Parkinson's Law?A. Her working habitB. Her workload during that timeC. The change in her work efficiencyD. The time spent with her younger brother6. What does the author advise us to do to make more time for ourselves?A. Commit to more social activities.B. Create a tight work schedule for ourselves.C. Don't waste time on technology for any reason.D. Focus on the most important tasks, and ignore anything unimportant.7. What is the author's main purpose in writing this article?A. To explain what Parkinson's Law is.B. To introduce how to balance work and life.C. To reflect on better time management.D. To show the importance of accompanying family members.CSeveral Chinese companies are temporarily hiring-or "sharing"-employees from businesses that haven' t resumed operations or are only partially operating due to concerns over the novel coronavirus epidemic(传染病). The so-called shared employees, known as gongxiangyuangong in Chinese, are being hired by supermarkets, e-commerce platforms' retail stores, and other companies or factories to ease the lack of workforce.According to domestic media outlet National Business Daily, more than 3, 000 new employees had joined Hema by Feb 19, while over 4, 000 people had signed up for the "talent-sharing" plan under Suning by Feb 21.The American supermarket chain Walmart has also joined in the trend, hiring more than 3, 000 temporary workers from other sectors to work at its branches in cities like Beijing, Fuzhou, and Shenzhen.Bike-sharing company Hello bike has opened 8, 000 positions nationwide for bicycle maintenance, according to Xinhua News Agency. In Hefei, capital of the eastern Anhui province, Hello bike is seeking 300 temporary workers, while 40 employees from a local hotel have started working at an industrial park on one-month contracts.Yao Junchang, a lawyer with Beijing Weiheng Law Firm, told Workers' Daily that companies hiring temporary workers should guarantee detailed provisions(规定, 条款)in their agreements, including the time of employment, salary and policy for work-related injury compensation."At the same time, the companies lending the employees should sign a complete secondmentarrangement, pay employees in full, and pay social security on time," he said. "Employees should pay more attention to safety measures and require a tripartite(三方)agreement or labor agreement to be signed during the temporary employment period and keep records as evidence."8. During the novel coronavirus epidemic, what's the reason for sharing employees?A. These employees are free.B. These employees are more capable.C. These employees are badly in need.D. These employees hope to earn more money.9. How does paragraph 2 develop?A. By making comparison.B. By providing examples.C. By following the time order.D. By doing analysis.10. What does the underlined word probably mean in paragraph 4?A. Investment.B. Payment.C. Reward.D. Interest.11. What is the writer's attitude towards the shared employees?A. Objective.B. Subjective.C. Indifferent.D. Opposed.DEach night, small groups of a species called free-tailed bats emerge from their habitat in the Panamanian rain forests to hunt for the prey(猎物)using echolocation."When bats are hunting, especially when they're in open areas, they produce two really different call types. They have their 'search-phase' calls when they're just scanning the environment. And then they have 'feeding buzzes' when they actually detect food, like insects." said Jenna Kohles, a graduate student at the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior in Germany.Both types of calls are typically too high-pitched for us to hear. Other bats can hear those feeding buzzes and use them as a hint for finding food. But it's always been assumed that the other call, search-phase call, doesn't include that kind of social information. Kohles and her team wondered if search-phase call might also be social and help bats stick together in the dark."This is why we then tested first whether these echolocation calls they produce when they're scanning the environment contain information about a bat's identity, like in the form of an individual signature. And then, more importantly, we wanted to test whether bats can actually usethis information to tell between different individuals, just using these search-phase echolocation calls."The researchers captured wild bats and exposed them to a particular call over and over again until they became bored and stopped reacting. Then the researchers played the same type of call but recorded from a different bat. If the bats reacted, it means that they noticed that the identity of the caller had changed.And that's exactly what happened, which suggests that some kind of individual signature is encoded(编码)within search-phase call. The results are in the journal Behavioral Ecology.Many other animals that hunt in groups use vocalizations(发声)to keep connected. But bats already invest most of their vocal resources in echolocation for hunting. So it appears that these bats have figured out how to accomplish both tasks-hunting and cooperation-using a single type of vocalization.12. How does the free-tailed bats hunt for their prey?A. Finding the sound of their prey.B. Locating the echoes they produce.C. Producing the sound like a group of insects.D. Using search-phase calls.13. What do we know about "search-phrase call" in the passage?A. The call sounds low.B. The call acts as a signal of finding food.C. The call is commonly thought to be social.D. The call may contain some kind of bats' identity.14. What does the writer intend to tell us in the fourth paragraph?A. The purpose of the experiment.B. The content of the experiment.C. The background of the experiment.D. The steps of the experiment.15. What is the best title of the passage?A. Do you know bats' calls?B. Why do bats produce two types of calls?C. Let's explore the usage of vocalization.D. Bat says hi as it hunts.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

These gentle, lovely gatekeepers welcomed her and kick-started what was to be a trip Ginni would never forget.Ever since her childhood, Ginni, now 71, has had a deep love for travel. Throughout her career (职业) as a professional dancer, she toured in the UK, but always longed to explore further. When she retired from dancing and her sons eventually flew the nest, she decided it was time to take the plunge.After taking a degree at Chichester University in Related Arts, Ginni began to travel the world, eventually getting work teaching English in Japan and Chile. And it was in Chile she discovered she could get last-minute cheap deals on ships going to Antarctica from the islands off Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost tip of the South American mainland. “I just decided I wanted to go,” she says. “I had no idea about what I’d find there and I wasn’t nervous, I just wanted to do it. And I wanted to do it alone as I always prefer it that way.”In March 2008, Ginni boarded a ship with 48 passengers she’d never met before, to begin the journey towards Antarctica. “From seeing the wildlife to witness ing sunrises, the whole experience was amazing. Antarctica left an impression on me that no other place has,” Ginni says. “I remember the first time I saw a humpback whale; it just rose out of the water like some prehistoric creature and I thought it was smiling at us. You could still hear the operatic sounds it was making underwater.”The realization that this is a precious land, to be respected by humans, was one of the biggest things that hit home to Ginni.28. Which of the following best explains “take the plunge” underlined in paragraph 2?A. Try challenging things.B. Take a degree.C. Bring back lost memories.D. Stick to a promise.29. What made Ginni decide on the trip to Antarctica?A. Lovely penguins.B. Beautiful scenery.C. A discount fare.D. A friend’s invitation.30. What does Ginni think about Antarctica after the journey?A.

An unforgettable experience.C. Sailing around the world.D. Meeting animals in Antarctica.【答案】28. A 29. C 30. C 31. B【解析】本文是一篇说明文。

Unit 14 CareersⅠ.阅读理解A(2019·西藏拉萨市高三第三次模拟)When my boss started talking about pension arrangements, it suddenly dawned_on me: I was going to be stuck working in an office job for the next 40 years. I'd always dreamed of working outdoors but I ended up doing a law degree at the University of the West of England in Bristol, thinking that this would bring me a better job.After graduating, I became an adviser. I enjoyed the work, but knew it wasn't the right career for me.At this point, my 98yearold grandma died, leaving me enough money to pay for an agricultural course. I decided to study agriculture at the Royal Agricultural College in Cirencester.I loved the programme. I spent my holidays from milking cows to helping in farm shops. I spent time lambing (照料母羊产羔) on a beautiful hill farm in Wales. I'd get up at 5 am in the morning; go out to care for the lambs that had been born overnight.In my old job, getting up early to go to the office was a struggle. It's easier on a farm, where you know there are animals that rely on you. They're living things, and if you don't turn up something serious might happen to them.I've also been fortunate enough to find a job as industry communications manager with Red Tractor, the largest food assurance scheme (保障计划) in the UK. The role is very varied: one day I might talk at an agricultural show educating children about where their food comes from; the next day I could be managing the design of the new food and farming standards.My advice to anyone wanting a career change is to seize the moment.

Simon Vanderpool, a special education teacher in Lexington, Kentucky, decided to do something about it. He started a program called Books and Barbers. Children go to the barber, choose a book and read out loud while the barber cuts their hair. The child gets a sticker and can take the book home. And there is an added bonus: money. The kids get paid to read.Vanderpool says barber shops are places where kids can feel comfortable. “Once a student feels comfortable, that's whenever the brain opens up, and that they are able to start focusing on nothing but learning.〞 Amir Shalash owns a barber shop. But he is doing more than cutting children's hair. He is listening to them, and helping them with their reading.Most of the children getting haircuts at barber shops are boys. Vanderpool's idea was to do more than just help them with reading and money. The teacher wants to help kids who are growing up in a home without a father like he did. “Also, I created the program in order to provide a positive mentor (指导者) for the kids that go into the barber shop, and are able to have someone that they can rely on and they can trust in, and just build a bond between the two of them.〞 Shalash says he and his fellow barbers like being mentors. “The biggest thing is that we try to influence as many kids as we can, and that was my whole intention of it.〞4．Why did Simon Vanderpool start Books and Barbers?A．To help children kill time. B．To bring children a fruitful vacation.C．To reduce teachers' pressure from work.

【2019-2020】高考英语阅读理解一轮练(5)(含解析)
【2019-2020】高考英语阅读理解一轮练（5）（含解析）李仕才ANowadays, especially in China, everything seems to favor social intercourse, such as gatherings of friends, KTV, group travel, dining tighter, playing cards and Mahjong, plus the Chinese-style “street-crossing group.” B ack home, discussions can still be boisterously carried on within the “circle of friends” of WeChat.However, these scenes cannot always ease a sense of loneliness. Zhu Ziqing, a well-known professor of Tsinghua UniversityThese days, it is not easy to cal m down totally and return to one’s true self. Willpower, intellect and discipline are required. Einstein said: “It is not your working time but your spare time that determines the possibility of whether you will be successful or not.” The “spare time” he referred to could be taken as “spending time by yourself.”Lonely life could be either dull, boring and tasteless or abundant, interesting and colorful, depending on one’s quality, ambition and inspiration.Just as the body constantly requires energy, the mind and soul also demand unceasing inputs. However, information, to processed and integrated(融入)into knowledge, thoughts and feelings, instead of bustle(忙碌)seems to be the right condition. Successful careers in all walks of life worldwide have proved that “the soul grows in peace and talent is nurtured in loneliness”. In a sense, it may be reasonable to say that “Happiness tends to be shallow while loneliness involves profundity”.Man, in fact, needs loneliness more than happy time, and only abundant loneliness can produce quality happiness.1.Which of the following can replace the underlined the word “boisterously” in paragraph 1?A. surprisinglyB. sadlyC. busilyD. peacefully2.What can we infer from the second paragraph?A. Being alone marks people depressed.B. Social intercourse improves our happiness.C. One may feel lonely even when surrounded by peopleD. We should attend social intercourse to decrease our loneliness.3.What can we know from Einstein’s words?A. You should be successful if you spend all your time by yourself.B. You should exercise more if you want to keep your minds healthy.C.D. You will be more successful if you can make your lonely time meaningful.4.Which may be the best title for this passage?A. Live On Your OwnB. Happiness and LonelinessC. The secret of successD. Practice Your Social Ability【文章大意】这是一篇议论文，讲述了幸福和孤独之间的关系。

Module 5 The great sports personality(建议用时：35分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解(2019· 广州普通高中毕业班综合测试一)It’s no secretthat your personal characteristics directly affect how youinteract with the world—but you might be surprised at justhow deep it goes. Experts think that your personality can evenaffect how you exercise and influence what sports are suitable for you.Highly Sensitive“Highly sensitive people may be more uncomfortable with group exercise classes or team sports where they feel their every move is being observed. Additionally, they may feel more upset about an ineffective or a poor workout，” says researcher Elaine Aron.For such people, individual or noncompetitive activities like biking, running and hiking are ideal.Type A PersonalityType A individuals often have an “all or nothing approach” to exercise. This personality type is known for sticking closely to their plan, not to mention being super competitive. However，this can cause them to stick too closely to a fitness routine, which means they might try to push past an injury.To get better exercise results, Type A people need to be aware that following an exercise plan too strictly may limit their progress. They should be more flexible and listen to their body, especially when they are in pain.Type B PersonalityThis laidback group may get too lazy about their exercise plan, which prevents them from seeing results. They are often less willing to devote enough time and energy to their fitness goals especially if exercise is something that makes them anxious.Type B individuals succeed in creative and cooperative environments, so team sports and group gym classes may be perfect.Remember, there are plenty of ways you can adapt a fitness plan to suit your needs, regardless of your characteristics. Just keep in mind what you like.【解题导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要论述了人的性格影响体育锻炼项目的选择。

Are you a saver or a spender?"A penny saved is a penny earned." This old saying calls attention to the wisdom of saving money. "_________________________" is another way to talk about saving for the future.People who hate to spend money are known as "tightwads," while those who like to get the most value for their money are called "thrifty." A thrifty person is different from a "spendthrift." A spendthrift is someone who spends wastefully. People like that are often said to spend money "like a drunken sailor" or "like there's no tomorrow."In the United States, people who want to start a savings account have different choices of where to put their money. These include banks and credit unions. Credit unions are cooperatives for people who have some kind of connection. For example, the members might work for a university or a government agency. Most credit unions are nonprofit organizations.Credit unions, banks and other financial institutions pay interest on savings accounts. But the interest rates are low. Certificates of deposit（存款证） pay higher returns. With a certificate of deposit, or CD, a person agrees not to withdraw the money for a certain period of time. This term could be anywhere from a few months to several years. Longer terms, and larger amounts, pay higher interest. People can withdraw their money early but they have to pay a fine.In a number of countries, people have been saving less over the years. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development is a group of thirty-four countries. The OECD says in 1990, Americans had a household savings rate of seven percent. This year, that rate is expected to be a little more than four percent and many European countries have higher rates like the UK and France , but Americans save more than families in countries like Japan and South Korea.1．Which of the following proverbs can be filled in the blank in Paragraph 2?A．Health is wealth.B．Money is a good servant but a bad masterC．Put money away for a rainy day.D．Money doesn’t grow on trees.2．If you have $10,000, which of the following may help you get higher interest ?A．Choose certificates of deposit for one year.B．Put the money in banks for one year.C．Put the money in credit unions for one year.D．Choose certificates of deposit for one year but withdraw the money ahead of time. 3．What does the passage mainly talk about ?A．Different choices of putting money away in the US.B．The importance of saving money.C．How to put money into banks.D．The household savings rate in the US.参考答案1—3、CAA2016高考训练题----阅读理解。
