　　第10单元过关检测
　　(时间:90分钟　满分:120分)
　　Ⅰ.阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)
　　第一节(共12小题;每小题2.5分,满分30分)
　　阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
　　A
　　Wealth starts with a goal saving a dollar at a time.Call it the piggy bank strategy(策略).There are lessons in that time-honored coin-saving container.
　　Any huge task seems easier when reduced to baby steps.If you wished to climb a 12,000-foot mountain,and could do it a day at a time,you would only have to climb 33 feet daily to reach the top in a year.If you want to take a really nice trip in 10 years for a special occasion,to collect the $15,000 cost,you have to save $3.93 a day.If you drop that into a piggy bank and then once a year put $1,434 in a savings account at 1% interest rate after-tax,you will have your trip money.
　　When I was a child,my parents gave me a piggy bank to teach me that,if I wanted something,I should save money to buy it.We associate piggy banks with children,but in many countries,the little containers are also popular with adults.Europeans see a piggy bank as a sign of good fortune and wealth.Around the world,many believe a gift of a piggy bank on New Year’s Day brings good luck and financial success.Ah,but you have to put something in it.
　　Why is a pig used as a symbol of saving?Why not an elephant bank,which is bigger and holds more coins?In the Middle Ages,before modern banking and credit instruments,people saved money at home,a few coins at a time dropped into a jar or dish.Potters(制陶工)made these inexpensive containers from an orange-colored clay(黏土)called “pygg” and folks saved coins in pygg jars.The Middle English word for pig was “pigge”,while the Saxons pronounced pygg,referring to the clay,as“pug”.Eventually the two words changed into the same pronunciation,sounding the “i” as in pig or piggy.As the word became less associated with the orange clay and more with the animal,a clever potter fashioned a pygg jar in the shape of a pig,delighting children and adults.The piggy bank was born.
　　Originally you had to break the bank to get to the money,bringing in a sense of seriousness into savings.While piggy banks teach children the wisdom of saving,adults often need to relearn childhood lessons.Thint the things in life that require large amounts of money—college education,weddings,cars,medical care,starting a business,buying a home,and fun stuff like great trips.So when you have money,take off the top 10%,put it aside,save and invest wisely.
　　1.What is the piggy bank strategy?
　　A.Paying 1% income tax at a time.
　　B.Setting a goal before making a travel plan.
　　C.Aiming high even when doing small things.
　　D.Putting aside a little money regularly for future use.
　　提示:根据文章第二段的“If you wished to climb a 12,000-foot mountain,and could do it a day at a time,you would only have to climb 33 feet daily to reach the top in a year.If you want to take a really nice trip in 10 years for a special occasion,to collect the $15,000 cost,you have to save $3.93 a day.”可知piggy bank strategy就是指每天都存一点钱以备未来之用。故D项正确。
　　答案:D
　　2.Why did the writer’s parents give him a piggy bank as a gift?
　　A.To delight him with the latest fashion.
　　B.To encourage him to climb mountains.
　　C.To help him form the habit of saving.
　　D.To teach him English pronunciation.
　　提示:根据第三段第一句可知,父母亲给“我”这个储蓄罐的目的是告诉“我”,如果想要得到某个东西,就要自己存钱来买。通过这个做法来养成储蓄的习惯。故C项正确。
　　答案:C
　　3.The piggy bank originally was 　　　.
　　A.a potter’s instrument
　　B.a cheap clay container
　　C.an animal-shaped dish
　　D.a pig-like toy for children
　　提示:根据文章第四段可知,以前没有银行的时候,人们就是使用便宜的黏土罐来存放零钱的,the piggy bank就是最初的储蓄罐。故B项正确。
　　答案:B
　　4.The last paragraph talt 　　　.

　　(时间:90分钟　满分:120分)
　　Ⅰ.阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)
　　第一节(共12小题;每小题2.5分,满分30分)
　　阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

　　Grandparents Answer a Call
　　As a third-generation native of Brownsville,Texas,Mildred Garza never planned to move away.Even when her daughter and son asked her to move to San Antonio to help with their children,she politely refused.Only after a year of friendly discussion did Ms.Garza finally say yes.That was four years ago.Today all three generations regard the move as a success,giving them a closer relationship than they would have had in separate cities.
　　No statistics show the number of grandparents like Garza who are moving closer to adult children and grandchildren.Yet there is evidence suggesting that the trend is growing.Even President Obama’s mother-in-law,Marian Robinson,has agreed to leave Chicago and move into the White House to help care for her granddaughters.According to a study by grandparents.com,83 percent of the people said Mrs.Robinson’s decision will influence grandparents in the American family.Two-thirds believe more families will follow the example of Obama’s family.
　　“In the 1960s we were all a little wild and couldn’t get away from home far enough or fast enough to prove we could do it on our own,”says Christine Crosby,publisher of Grand,a magazine for grandparents.“We now realize how important family is and how important it is to be near them,especially when you’re raising children.”
　　Moving is not for everyone.Almost every grandparent wants to be with his or her grandchildren and is willing to make sacrifices,but sometimes it is wiser to say no and visit frequently instead.Having your grandchildren far away is hard,especially knowing your adult child is struggling,but giving up the life you know may be harder.
　　1.Why was Garza’s move a success?
　　A.It strengthened her family ties.
　　B.It improved her living conditions.
　　C.It enabled her to make more friends.
　　D.It helped her know more new places.
　　提示:细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句中的“...giving them a closer relationship than they would have had in separate cities.”可知,Garza的搬家行动是成功的,因为家人之间的关系更加亲密,关系得到加强。
　　答案:A
　　2.What was the reaction of the public to Mrs.Robinson’s decision?
　　A.17% expressed their support for it.
　　B.Few people responded sympathetically.
　　C.83% believed it had a bad influence.
　　D.The majority thought it was a trend.
　　提示:推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句内容可推断出,大多数人认为老人搬到成年的子女身边和子女共同生活是一种社会发展趋势。
　　答案:D
　　3.What did Crosby say about people in the 1960s?
　　A.They were unsure of themselves.
　　B.They were eager to raise more children.
　　C.They wanted to live away from their parents.
　　D.They had little respect for their grandparents.
　　提示:推理判断题。根据第三段内容可推断出,20世纪60年代的人们不希望与父母生活在一起。
　　答案:C
　　4.What does the author suggest the grandparents do in the last paragraph?
　　A.Make decisions in the best interests of their own.
　　B.Ask their children to pay more visits to them.
　　C.Sacrifice for their struggling children.
