But, as usual, I was broke. I decided to ask my 11-year-old sister, Kathleen, for a loan. I went to her room, 16 her for the cash. Laughing, she agreed to 17 me the money, but added, “I will charge you 10 percent compound interest every 18 until you pay me back.”“Compound interest—what’s that?” I asked.“Well, interest is what you call the 19 money borrowers have to pay back on a loan,” she explained. “Compound interest means that the interest payments get bigger and bigger the 20 you take to pay back the loan. To repay the loan, you will need to give me $11 after one month. If you wait two months to pay me back, your 21 will grow from $10 to $11. So I’ll be charging you interest on $11. Then I will add that interest to the $11 you already owe me, for a 22 of $12.10. That’s what you’ll owe after two months. ”“Sure. I get it,” I said. Though truthfully, I was getting 23 .Kathleen lent me the money, and I bought the toy. My birthday came a month later, and my mom gave me $10.24 , that was just the amount I needed to buy another toy I wanted 25 . I put off paying my sister for a month. After another month, I 26 about the loan.Several months later, on Christmas morning, my sister and I each found a $20 bill in our stockings. I was just putting it into my pocket 27 Kathleen tapped me on the shoulder.“Sorry, kiddo. That’s mine. I’m 28 on your debt.”“Huh?” Then I remembered the loan. “Hey! How can it be that much? I 29 borrowed $10.”“True,” she said, “but interest has been compounding for eight months. Now you 30 me $21.43.” She paused, then added. “You can pay me the $1.43.”I 31 to believe that a $10 loan could more than double so quickly. Much to my 32 , my sister got her pencil and tablet and showed me exactly how it all added up.My head 33 as I tried to keep track of Kathleen’s 34 , but this time, I got the basic idea of compound interest.

2018年北京市海淀区人大附中高考英语模拟试卷(6月份)-教师用卷
2018年北京市海淀区人大附中高考英语模拟试卷(6月份)副标题一、阅读理解(本大题共8小题,共16.0分)AWhat Cocktail Parties Teach Us You're at a party.Music is playing.Glasses are clinking.Dozens of conversations are driving up the decibel (分贝)level.Yet among all those distractions,you can tune your attention to just one voice from many.This ability is what researchers call the "cocktail-party effect."Scientists at the University of California in San Francisco have found where that sound-editing process occurs in the brain-in the auditory cortex (听觉皮层)just behind the ear,not in areasof higher thought.The auditory cortex boosts some sounds and turns down others so that when the signal reaches the higher brain,"it's as if only one person was speaking alone," says investigator Edward Chang.These findings,published in the journal Nature last week,explain why people aren't very good at multitasking-our brains are wired for "selective attention" and can focus on only one thing at a time.That inborn ability has helped humans survive in a world buzzing with visual and auditory stimulation (刺激).But we keep trying to push the limit with multitasking,sometimes with tragic consequences.Drivers talking on cellphones,for example,are four times as likely to get into traffic accidents as those who aren't.Many of those accidents are due to "inattentional blindness",in which people can,in effect,turn a blind eye to things they aren't focusing on.The more attention a task demands,the less attention we can pay to other things in our field of vision.Images land on our retinas (视网膜)and are either boosted or played down in the visual cortex before being passed to the brain,just as the auditory cortex filters sounds,as shown in the Nature study last week."It's a push-pull relationship-the more we focus on one thing,the less we can focus on others," says Diane M.Beck,an associate professor of psychology at the University of Illinois.Studies over the past decade at the University of Utah show' that drivers talking on hands-free cellphones are just as influenced as those on hands-held phones because it is the conversation,not the device that is distracting their attention.Those talking on any kind of cellphone react more slowly and miss more traffic signals than other motorists.Some people can train themselves to pay extra attention to things that are important - like police officers learn to scan crowds for faces and conductors can listen for individual instruments within the orchestra as a whole.Many more think they can effectively multitask,but are actually shifting their attention rapidly between two things and not getting the full effect of either,experts say.1.What have scientists in University of California found about "the cocktail-party effect"?______A. Usually there is only one person who is speaking alone.B. All kinds of annoying sounds drive up the decibel level.C. The higher brain processes sounds and images selectively.D. Sounds are sorted out before reaching the higher brain,2.What do we learn from the passage?______A. We are biologically incapable of multitasking.B. We survive distractions in life by multitasking,C. We cannot multitask without extra attention.D. We benefit from pushing the limit with multitasking.3.Which of the following is an example of "inattentional blindness"?______A. A careless driver lost his eyesight after a car accident.B. Police scanned the crowds and located the criminal.C. A manager talked on a hands-free phone with his client,D. A pedestrian had a car accident because of phubbing.4.The main purpose of the passage is to ______ .A. compare and contrastB. inform and explainC. argue and discussD. examine and evaluate【答案】【小题1】D 【小题2】A 【小题3】D 【小题4】D【解析】1-4 DADD1.D.细节理解题.根据"Dozens of conversations are driving up the decibel (分贝)level.Yet among all those distractions,you can tune your attention to just one voice from many.This ability is what researchers call the "cocktail-party effect.""可知"鸡尾酒会效应"就是声音在到达更高的大脑之前被分类.故选D.2.A.推理判断题.根据"But we keep trying to push the limit with multitasking,sometimes with tragic consequences.Drivers talking on cellphones,for example,are four times as likely to get into traffic accidents as those who aren't."可知我们在生理上不能同时处理多项任务.故选A.3.D.细节理解题.根据"Many of those accidents are due to "inattentional blindness",in which people can,in effect,turn a blind eye to things they aren't focusing on.The more attention a task demands,the less attention we can pay to other things in our field of vision"可知一个行人因低头而发生车祸是"inattentional blindness"的例子.故选D.4.D推理判断题.根据"Many more think they can effectively multitask,but are actually shifting their attention rapidly between two things and not getting the full effect of either,experts say."可知这篇文章的主要目的是检查和评价.故选D.本文是一篇科教类阅读,文章主要介绍了你在一个聚会上.几十个对话正在推高分贝(分贝)水平.然而,在所有这些让你分心的事物中,你可以把注意力集中在一个声音上.这种能力被研究人员称为"鸡尾酒会效应".做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍,做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析,结合选项选出正确答案.推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案,切忌胡乱猜测,一定要做到有理有据.BRobert F.Kennedy once said that a country's GDP measures "everything except that which makes life worthwhile".With Britain voting to leave the European Union,and GDP already predicted to slow as a result,it is now a timely moment to assess what he was referring to.The question of GDP and its usefulness has annoyed policymakers for over half a century.Many argue that it is a flawed concept It measures things that do not matter and misses things that do.By most recent measures,the UK's GDP has been the envy of the Western world,with record low unemployment and high growth figures.If everything,wasgoing so well,then why did over 17 million people vote for Brexit,despite the warnings about what it could do to their country's economic prospects?A recent annual study of countries and their ability to convert growth into well-being sheds some light on that question.Across the 163 countries measured,the UK is one of the poorest performers in ensuring that economic growth is translated into meaningful improvements for its citizens.Rather than just focusing on GDP,over 40 different sets of criteria from health,education and civil society engagement have been measured to get a more rounded assessment of how countries are performing.While all of these countries face their own challenges,there are a number of consistent themes.Yes,there has been a budding economic recovery since the 2008 global crash,but in key indicators in areas such as health and education,major economies have continued to decline.Yet this isn't the case with all countries.Some relatively poor European countries have seen huge improvements across measures including civil society,income equality and the environment.This is a lesson that rich countries can learn;When GDP is no longer regarded as the sole measure of a country's success,the world looks very different.So,what Kennedy was referring to was that while GDP has been the most common method for measuring the economic activity of nations,as a measure,it is no longer enough,It does not include important factors such as environmental quality or education outcomes - all things that contribute to a person's sense of well-being.The sharp hit to growth predicted around the world and in the UK could lead to a decline in the everyday services we depend on for our well-being and for growth.But policymakers who refocus efforts on improving well-being rather than simply worrying about GDP figures could avoid the forecasted doom and may even see progress.5.Robert F,Kennedy is cited because he ______ .A. praised the UK for its GDPB. identified GDP with happinessC. saw the problem with GDPD. misinterpreted the role of GDP6.Which of the following is true about the recent annual study?______A. It is sponsored by 163 countries.B. It excludes GDP as an indicator.C. Its criteria are questionable.D. Its results are inspiring.7.In the last two paragraphs,the author suggests that ______ .A. the UK is preparing for an economic boomB. high GDP predicts an economic declineC. it is essential to consider factors beyond GDPD. it requires caution to handle economic issues8.Which of the following is the best title for the text?______A. High GDP But Inadequate Well-being,a UK LessonB. GDP Figures,a Window on Global Economic HealthC. Robert F.Kennedy,a Terminator of GDPD. Brexit,the UK's Gateway to Well-being【答案】【小题1】A 【小题2】D 【小题3】C 【小题4】A【解析】1.A.推理判断题.根据第一段第一句"Robert F.Kennedy once said that a country's GDP measures "everything except that which makes life worthwhile."中可以看出Kennedy 认为一个国家的GDP衡量的是"除了使生命有价值之外的一切".从下文也可以看出作者也认为GDP有许多缺点,所以作者引用Kennedy 来赞扬英国的GDP.故选A.2.D.细节推理题.根据第三段第一句"A recent annual study of countries and their ability to convert growth into well-being sheds some light on that question.",可知关于最近的年度研究,它的结果令人鼓舞,故选D.3.C.推理判断题.根据最后一段"So what Kennedy was referring to was that while GDP has been the most common method for measuring the economic activity of nations,as a measure,it is no longer enough.It does not include important factors such as environmental quality or education outcomes - all things that contribute to a person's sense of well-being." 可知在最后两段中,作者建议考虑GDP以外的因素是必要的.故选C.4.A.主旨大意题.文章在开头引用了Kennedy对于GDP的负面评价,并通过英国脱欧这个案例来引出需要考虑GDP这个评价机制的好坏,中间各段在分析英国GDP表现好,但实际英国社会现状却不好,最后在倒数第二自然段指出This is a lesson that rich countries can learn.A项概括全文,适合作为标题.故选A.文章通过英国脱欧这个案例来引出需要考虑GDP这个评价机制的好坏,GDP 不再够用了,它没有包含重要的因素.推理判断题属于主观题,是层次较高的题目.此类题要求在理解表面文字的基础上,做出判断和推论,从而得到文章的隐含的意思和深层的意思,也就是通过文章中的文字信息,上下逻辑关系及事物的发展变化等已知的信息,推断出作者没有直接表达的态度和观点.。

Goodbudget(free; iOS, Android)B(广西桂梧高中2018届高三第五次联考)Summer heat can be dangerous, and heat leads to tragedy far too often. According to kidsandcars, org, an average of 37 young children per year die of car heat in the US, when they are accidentally left in a hot vehicle.For Bishop Curry, a fifth grader from Mckinney, Texas, one such incident hit close to home. A six-month-old baby from his neighborhood died after hours in a hot car. After hearing about her death, Curry decided that something needed to be done. Young Curry, who turned 11 this year, has always had a knack for inventing things, and he drew up a sketch(草图) of a device he called “Oasis.”The device would attach to carseats and watch the temperature inside the car. If it reached a certain temperature in the car, and the device sensed a child in the carseat, it would begin to circulate cool air. Curry also designs the device using GPS and Wi-Fi technology, which would alarm the child’s parents and, if there was no response from them, the police.Curry’s father believes that the invention has potential. “The cool thing about Bishop’s thinking is none of this technology is new,” he said. “We feel like the way he’s thinking and combining all these technologies will get to production faster.” His father even intr oduced the device to Toyota, where he works as an engineer. The company was so impressed that they sent Curry and his father to a car safety conference in Michigan.In January, Curry’s father launched a campaign for the invention. They hope to raise money to finalize the patent, build models, and find a manufacturer. Their goal was $20,000, but so many people believed in Oasis’ potential that they have raised more than twice that--over $46,000.Curry’s father remembers the first time he saw his son’s sketch. “I was so proud of him for thinking ofa solution,” he said. “We always just complain about things and rarely offer solutions.”24.

Now, a delicious and nutritious solution has come up to help reduce our dependence on this environmental hazard.David Christian, the co-founder of Evoware, says the idea of creating the biodegradable (生物降解的) produ cts came from concern at the country’s high pollution rate. Indonesia is home to four of the world’s worst polluted rivers. Since single-use packaging is a large contributor to the problem, Evoware decided to deal with that first.After investigating various materials, the company settled on seaweed. Unlike com, commonly used for biodegradable containers, seaweed does not require resources like water or large amounts of space. Since Indonesian farmers already harvest more seaweed than they can sell, it’s ea sy for the company to find the material.Though they will not reveal their production process, Evoware says the seaweed packaging containsno chemicals and is safe to consume. The company has also invented single-use cups, which can break down 30 days afte r they’re thrown away.While replacing plastic with the seaweed products may seem appealing to most of us, it is a hard-sell in Indonesia. According to Christian, “The awareness to reduce single-use plastic is still very low. This makes our bioplastic unne cessary.” Also a factor is the cost, which is higher than using plastic. Hopefully, Evoware will succeed in convincing Indonesians and people worldwide that switching to their products will be helpful to protecting our beautiful planet.28. What problem did Evoware decide to deal with first?A. Ways to clean the four worst polluted rivers.B. Means to contribute to the country’s economy.C. How to deal with single-use packaging.D. What nutritious materials for people to use.29. Why did Evoware choose seaweed?A. It didn’t require much space and was easy to get.B. It could be found everywhere in his country.C. It was most commonly used for packaging.D. It grew thickly in most of the polluted rivers.30. What can we infer from Christian’s words?A. Their seaweed products have won government support.B. Their new products have received wordwide popularity.C. The cost of making seaweed products will be lowered soon.D. Sometimes it’s hard to get people to reduce the use of plastics.31. What does the underlined word “hard-sell” (in Para. 5) refer to?A. Something lasting long.B. Something hard to accept.C. Something easy to get.D. Something commonly seen.DA large body of research has been developed in recent years to explain many aspects of willpower. Most of the researchers exploring self-control do so with an obvious goal in mind: How can willpower be strengthened? If willpower is truly a limited resource, as the research suggests, what can be done to make it stay strong?Avoiding temptation (诱惑) is an effective method for maintaining self-control, which is called the “out of sights, out of mind” principle. One recent study, for instance, found office workers less attracted to candy in the desk drawer than that on top of their desks, in plain sight.The research suggesting that we possess a limited reservoir of self-control raises a troubling question. When we face too many temptations, are we to fail? Not necessarily. Researchers don’t believe that one’s willpower is ever completely exhausted. Rather, people appear to hold some willpower in reserve, saved for future demands. The right motivation allows us to tap into those reserves, allowing us to carry on even when our self-control strength has been run down. High motivation might help overcome weaken Willpower at least to a point.Willpower may also be made less vulnerable(脆弱)to being exhausted in the first place. Researchers who study self-control often describe it as being like a muscle that gets tired with heavy use. But there is another aspect to the muscle comparison, they say. While muscles become exhausted by exercise in the short term, they are strengthened by regular exercise in the long term. Similarly, regular practices of self-control may improve willpower strengthsThe evidence from willpower-exhaustion studies also suggests that making a list of resolutions on New Year's Eve is the worst possible approach. Being exhausted in one area can reduce willpower in other areas, so it makes more sense to focus on a single goal at a time. In oth er words, don’t try to quit smoking, adopt a healthy diet and start a new exercise plan at the same time. Taking goals one by one is a better approach. Once a good habit is in place, Baumeister says, you’ll no longer need to draw on your willpower to maint ain the behavior. Eventually healthy habits will become routine, and won’t require making decisions at all.32. From the studies in the passage we learn that .A. people have unlimited self-controlB. high motivation ensures one's successC. willpower is hardly completely exhaustedD. too many temptations often lead to failure33. The underlined phrase “tap into” in Paragraph 3 most probably means .A. make use ofB. run out ofC. buildD. increase34. The author compares self –control to muscles .A. to prove the long-term effect of willpowerB. to show the significance of regular exerciseC. to argue that self-control can he easily used upD. to explain the benefits of practicing self-control35. To develop a good habit, which of the following does the author prefer?A. “I will give up dessert and do exercise.”B. “I will set three goals this new semester.”C. “I will keep myself from any temptation.”D. “I will read an English novel every month.”第二节(共 5 小题,每小题 2 分,满分 10 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,选项中有两项为多余选项。

Bad News for the Highly IntelligentThere are advantages to being smart. People who do well on IQ tests tend to be more successful in the classroom and the workplace. They also tend to live longer, healthier lives, and are less likely to experience negative life events.51 In a study, Ruth Karpinski and her colleagues carried out a study on the members of Mensa, a high IQ society. The study covered mood (情绪) disorders and anxiety disorders. Respondents were asked to report whether they had ever suffered from each disorder. The researchers compared the percentage of those who reported disorder to the national average and found that Mensa’s highly intelligent members were more likely to suffer from a range of serious disorders.To explain their findings, Karpinski and his team bring up the hyper brain and hyper body theory. This theory holds that, for all of its advantages, being highly intelligent is associated with psychological and physiologic al “overexcitabilities”, or OE. 52 This can include anything from an astonishing sound to conflict with another person. According to the theory, OEs are more common in highly intelligent people. A highly intelligent person may overanalyze a disapproving comment made by a boss, imagining negative outcomes that simply wouldn’t occur to someone less intelligent. 53The results of this study must be interpreted cautiously. Showing that a disorder is more common in a sample of people with high IQs than in the general population doesn’t prove that high intelligence is the cause of the disorder. 54 All the same, the findings set the stage for research that promises to cast new light on the link between intelligence and health. One possibility is that associations between intelligence and health outcomes reflect pleiotropy (基因多效性), which occurs when a gene (基因) influences seemingly unrelated characteristics. 55In a 2015 study, Rosalind Arden and her colleagues concluded that the association between IQ and living longer is mostly explained by genetic factors. From a practical standpoint, this research may lead to insights about how to improve people’s psychological and physical well-being.A. Now there’s some bad news for those smart people.B. There is already some evidence to suggest that this is the case.C. It is an unusually strong reaction to an environmental threat or abuse.D. Scientists did many researches to understand the reasons behind the advantages.E. That may cause the body’s stress respons e, which may make the person even more anxious.F. It’s also possible that people who join Mensa differ from other people in ways other than just IQ.G. They found that the differences between the respondents were seen for mood and anxiety disorders.51.A 52.C 53.E 54.F 55.B【东城二模】根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Goodbudget(free; iOS, Android)B(广西桂梧高中2018届高三第五次联考)Summer heat can be dangerous, and heat leads to tragedy far too often. According to kidsandcars, org, an average of 37 young children per year die of car heat in the US, when they are accidentally left in a hot vehicle.For Bishop Curry, a fifth grader from Mckinney, Texas, one such incident hit close to home. A six-month-old baby from his neighborhood died after hours in a hot car. After hearing about her death, Curry decided that something needed to be done. Young Curry, who turned 11 this year, has always had a knack for inventing things, and he drew up a sketch(草图) of a device he called “Oasis.”The device would attach to carseats and watch the temperature inside the car. If it reached a certain temperature in the car, and the device sensed a child in the carseat, it would begin to circulate cool air. Curry also designs the device using GPS and Wi-Fi technology, which would alarm the child’s parents and, if there was no response from them, the police.Curry’s father believes that the invention has potential. “The cool thing about Bishop’s thinking is none of this technology is new,” he said. “We feel like the way he’s thinking and combining all these technologies will get to production faster.” His father even intr oduced the device to Toyota, where he works as an engineer. The company was so impressed that they sent Curry and his father to a car safety conference in Michigan.In January, Curry’s father launched a campaign for the invention. They hope to raise money to finalize the patent, build models, and find a manufacturer. Their goal was $20,000, but so many people believed in Oasis’ potential that they have raised more than twice that--over $46,000.Curry’s father remembers the first time he saw his son’s sketch. “I was so proud of him for thinking ofa solution,” he said. “We always just complain about things and rarely offer solutions.”24. What inspired Curry to invent Oasis?A. His narrow escape from death after being locked in a carB. His knowledge of many children’s death because of car heatC. The death of his neighbor’s baby after being left in a hot carD. The injury of 37 children in his school in a car accident25. What would Oasis do if it was hot in a car with a child?A. It would inform the parents or even the policeB. It would pump out the hot air in the carC. It would sound the alarm attached to the carD. It would get the window open to save the child26. What does Curry’s father think is cool about Curry’s invention?A. It used some of the most advanced technologyB. It simply combined technologies that existedC. It could accelerate production of new technologyD. It is the most advanced among similar products27. Why did Curry’s father start a campaign to raise money?A. To conduct experiments to test the inventionB. To get other children devoted to inventionsC. To support a charity of medical aid for childrenD. To get the patent and bring it to productionC(江西名校学术联盟2018届高三教学质量检测二)Reducing plastic waste isn’t easy because the cheap material is found in almost every household item. Now, a delicious and nutritious solution has come up to help reduce our dependence on this environmental hazard.David Christian, the co-founder of Evoware, says the idea of creating the biodegradable (生物降解的) produ cts came from concern at the country’s high pollution rate. Indonesia is home to four of the world’s worst polluted rivers. Since single-use packaging is a large contributor to the problem, Evoware decided to deal with that first.After investigating various materials, the company settled on seaweed. Unlike com, commonly used for biodegradable containers, seaweed does not require resources like water or large amounts of space. Since Indonesian farmers already harvest more seaweed than they can sell, it’s ea sy for the company to find the material.Though they will not reveal their production process, Evoware says the seaweed packaging containsno chemicals and is safe to consume. The company has also invented single-use cups, which can break down 30 days afte r they’re thrown away.While replacing plastic with the seaweed products may seem appealing to most of us, it is a hard-sell in Indonesia. According to Christian, “The awareness to reduce single-use plastic is still very low. This makes our bioplastic unne cessary.” Also a factor is the cost, which is higher than using plastic. Hopefully, Evoware will succeed in convincing Indonesians and people worldwide that switching to their products will be helpful to protecting our beautiful planet.28. What problem did Evoware decide to deal with first?A. Ways to clean the four worst polluted rivers.B. Means to contribute to the country’s economy.C. How to deal with single-use packaging.D. What nutritious materials for people to use.29. Why did Evoware choose seaweed?A. It didn’t require much space and was easy to get.B. It could be found everywhere in his country.C. It was most commonly used for packaging.D. It grew thickly in most of the polluted rivers.30. What can we infer from Christian’s words?A. Their seaweed products have won government support.B. Their new products have received wordwide popularity.C. The cost of making seaweed products will be lowered soon.D. Sometimes it’s hard to get people to reduce the use of plastics.31. What does the underlined word “hard-sell” (in Para. 5) refer to?A. Something lasting long.B. Something hard to accept.C. Something easy to get.D. Something commonly seen.DA large body of research has been developed in recent years to explain many aspects of willpower. Most of the researchers exploring self-control do so with an obvious goal in mind: How can willpower be strengthened? If willpower is truly a limited resource, as the research suggests, what can be done to make it stay strong?Avoiding temptation (诱惑) is an effective method for maintaining self-control, which is called the “out of sights, out of mind” principle. One recent study, for instance, found office workers less attracted to candy in the desk drawer than that on top of their desks, in plain sight.The research suggesting that we possess a limited reservoir of self-control raises a troubling question. When we face too many temptations, are we to fail? Not necessarily. Researchers don’t believe that one’s willpower is ever completely exhausted. Rather, people appear to hold some willpower in reserve, saved for future demands. The right motivation allows us to tap into those reserves, allowing us to carry on even when our self-control strength has been run down. High motivation might help overcome weaken Willpower at least to a point.Willpower may also be made less vulnerable(脆弱)to being exhausted in the first place. Researchers who study self-control often describe it as being like a muscle that gets tired with heavy use. But there is another aspect to the muscle comparison, they say. While muscles become exhausted by exercise in the short term, they are strengthened by regular exercise in the long term. Similarly, regular practices of self-control may improve willpower strengthsThe evidence from willpower-exhaustion studies also suggests that making a list of resolutions on New Year's Eve is the worst possible approach. Being exhausted in one area can reduce willpower in other areas, so it makes more sense to focus on a single goal at a time. In oth er words, don’t try to quit smoking, adopt a healthy diet and start a new exercise plan at the same time. Taking goals one by one is a better approach. Once a good habit is in place, Baumeister says, you’ll no longer need to draw on your willpower to maint ain the behavior. Eventually healthy habits will become routine, and won’t require making decisions at all.32. From the studies in the passage we learn that .A. people have unlimited self-controlB. high motivation ensures one's successC. willpower is hardly completely exhaustedD. too many temptations often lead to failure33. The underlined phrase “tap into” in Paragraph 3 most probably means .A. make use ofB. run out ofC. buildD. increase34. The author compares self –control to muscles .A. to prove the long-term effect of willpowerB. to show the significance of regular exerciseC. to argue that self-control can he easily used upD. to explain the benefits of practicing self-control35. To develop a good habit, which of the following does the author prefer?A. “I will give up dessert and do exercise.”B. “I will set three goals this new semester.”C. “I will keep myself from any temptation.”D. “I will read an English novel every month.”第二节(共 5 小题,每小题 2 分,满分 10 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,选项中有两项为多余选项。

Double TroubleWhen I was eight, I wanted a toy and needed $10 to buy it. But, as usual, I was broken. I decided to ask my 11-year-old sister, Kathleen, for a loan. I went to her room, 16 her for the cash. Laughing, she agreed to 17 me the money, but added, “I will charge you 10 percent compound interest every 18 until you pay me back.”“Compound interest---what’s that?” I asked.“Well, interest is what you call the 19 money borrowers have to pay back on a loan,”she explained. “Compound interest means that the interest payments get bigger and bigger the 20 you take to pay back the loan. To repay the loan, you will need to give me $11 after one month. If you wait two months to pay me back, your 21 will grow from $10 to $11. So I’ll be charging you interest on $11. Then I will add that interest to the $11 you already owe me, for a 22 of $12.10. That’s what you’ll owe after two months.”“Sure. I get it,” I said. Though truthfully, I was getting 23 .Kathleen lent me the money, and I bought the toy. My birthday came a month later, and my momgave me $10. 24 ,that was just the amount I needed to buy another toy I wanted 25 . I put off paying my sister for a month. After another month, I 26 about the loan.Several months later, on Christmas morning, my sister and I each found a $02 bill in our stockings. I was just putting it into my pocket 27 Kathleen tapped me on the shoulder.“Sorry, kiddo. That’s mine. I’m 28 on your debt.”“Huh?” Then I remembered the loan. “Hey! How can it be that much? I 29 borrowed $10.”“True,” she said, “but interest has been compounding for eight months. Now you 30 me $21.43.”She paused, then added. “You can pay me the $1.43.”I 31 to believe that a $10 loan could more than double so quickly. Much to my 32 , my sister got her pencil and tablet and showed me exactly how it all added up.My head 33 as I tried to keep track of Kathleen’s 34 , but this time, I got the basic idea of compound interest.
