26、   In 2009 a group of parents in Lymington started sharing worries about their children’s money-management skills. Pocket money was now stored in a building society rather than a piggy bank (储蓄罐); household shopping was done online; the children rarely saw their parents handling cash. They were spending online, too. Money had become intangible. How, then, were children to learn its value?

The answer they came up with was GoHenry, an app now available in America as well as Britain. It is designed to help young people learn good spending habits through real-world money activities. Parents sign up with their own bank accounts and pay a monthly fee of £2.99 or $3.99 for each child aged six or over. Adults and children download separate versions. Parents can schedule pocket money and set chores. When those are marked as done, the child is paid the agreed amount. Parents can see what the child has bought and where. And they can choose where the card can be used: in shops, online or at ATMs.

Children get cards printed with their name. They can put money in savings pots, view their spending and balances, and set savings targets. “They could decide to save ten dollars for a friend’s birthday in four weeks’ time, or set a goal at 12 to have $2,000 to buy a car at age 18,” says Dean Brauer, one of GoHenry’s founders. “The app tells them how much to save each week to meet their goal.”

A big benefit of such apps is that they inspire family conversations about money. According to the latest research, more than half of British parents find the subject hard to discuss with their children. And yet most agree that children’s attitudes to money are formed in their early years.

Some GoHenry customers are wealthy parents who worry that their children will grow up with little knowledge of money. Others have slim incomes but regard the app as a preparation for their child’s future. Some say that they have been in debt and want their children to avoid that mistake when they grow up; others that the app is cost-effective because their children learn to plan spending. Even though young people no longer touch and hold money, they can still be taught to handle it well.

【1】What does the underlined sentence suggest?

A.Money no longer existed physically. B.Money was spent by children.

C.Money took on a fashionable look. D.Money became less valuable.

【2】What is the purpose of GoHenry app?

A.To update people’s idea of money.

B.To educate kids on money management.

C.To promote parent-kid relationship.

D.To build up wealth in American families.

【3】How do parents or children benefit from GoHenry?

A.Parents monitor children’s using of money.

B.Children have freedom to earn extra money.

C.Parents lend much money to children in relief.

D.Children turn to saving instead of spending.

【4】What is the best reason for the popularity of GoHenry among parents?

A.It brings to the table the topic of money.

B.It trains kids to deal with money wisely.

C.It ensures a successful future for children.

D.It makes it possible for kids to get wealthy.

28、   Many of us love July because it’s the month when nature’s berries and stone fruits are at their best. These colorful and sweet jewels from British Columbia’s fields are little powerhouses of nutritional protection.

Of the common berries(浆果), strawberries are highest in vitamin C, although, because of their seeds, raspberries contain a little more protein, iron and zinc (not that fruits have much protein). Blueberries are especially high in antioxidants (抗氧化物质). The yellow and orange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids(胡萝卜素) we turn into Vitamin A and which are antioxidants. As for cherries, they are so delicious who care? However, they are rich in Vitamin C.

When combined with berries or slices of other fruits, frozen bananas make an excellent base for thick, cooling fruits shakes and low fat “ice cream”. For this purpose, select ripe(成熟的) bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter. Remove the skin and place them in plastic bags or containers and freeze. If you like, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown. Frozen bananas will last several weeks, depending on their ripeness and the temperature of the freezer.

If you have a juicer, you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced fruit. Out comes a “Soft-serve” creamy dessert, to be eaten right away. This makes a fun activity for a children’s party; they love feeding the fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below.

【1】What does the writer seem to like about cherries?

A. They contain protein. B. They are high in Vitamin A.

C. They are rich in antioxidants. D. They have a pleasant taste.

【2】Why is fresh lemon juice used in freezing bananas?

A. To keep their color. B. To make them smell better.

C. To improve their nutrition. D. To speed up their ripening.

【3】What is “a juicer” in the last paragraph?

A. A dessert. B. A drink.

C. A machine. D. A container.

【4】From which is the text probably taken?

A. A biology textbook B. A health magazine.

C. A research paper D. A travel book.

29、   Lake Inari, Finland

High above the Arctic Circle and close to Finland's border with Russia, Lake Inari is a year- round Heaven. Dark, snowy winters make it wonderful for catching a glimpse of the Northern Lights. Its tree-lined banks produce a burnt orange during autumn and in summer, you can swim in its cold shallows.

Unst, Shetland Isles, Scotland

The most northerly occupied island of the British Isles, Unst is a wild, rough place where seas crash into the dramatic Muckle Flugga sea stacks(海栈). The latter are a harbor for gannets- a large bird during breeding season, with birdwatchers also treated to the sight of searching for great skuas(贼鸥).

Zagori, Greece

While Greece's islands are praised for their beauty, the mainland's charms are easily overlooked. But one of the most breathtaking mountain ranges in Europe lies here, in the region of Zagori, Epirus. The Vikos Gorge makes for a perfect day's hiking. While Mount Astrakas' snow-capped top is a sight to see as the days close in, showing that Greece is far more than just a summer destination. Keep an eye out for Zagori's stone bridges, especially the three- arched Kaligeriko, close to the village of Kipi.

Yorkshire Dales, England

The Yorkshire Dales are the England of the imagination. Its narrow lanes lined with dry stone walls draw cyclists’ attention to dizzying adventures, while its moody hills continually attract walkers, no matter the weather. Geological wonders such as the limestone(石灰石) sights of MalhamCove and Gordale Scar make it perhaps the most beautiful part of the British Isles.

【1】Where would you like to go if you are a bird-lover?

A.Lake Inari. B.Unst, Shetland Isles. C.Zagori. D.Yorkshire Dales.

【2】What can you do in the Vikos Gorge?

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Samuel Langhorne Clemens (November 30, 1835-April 21, 1910), better known by his pen name Mark Twain, was an American author and humorist. Twain grew up in Hannibal, Missouri, which provided the 【1】 for Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer. After an apprenticeship with a printer, he worked as a typesetter and 【2】 articles to the newspaper of his older brother, Orion Clemens. He later became a riverboat pilot on the Mississippi River before heading west to join Orion in Nevada. He referred humorously to his singular lack of success at mining, turning to journalism for the Virginia City Territorial Enterprise. In 1865, his 【3】 story The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras spent some time as a miner. The short story brought international attention, and was even translated into 【4】 Greek. His wit and satire, in prose and in speech, earned 【5】 from critics and peers, and he was a friend to presidents, artists, industrialists, and European royalty.

Though Twain earned a great deal of money from his writings and lectures, he 【6】 in ventures that lost a great deal of money, notably the Paige Compositor, a mechanical typesetter, which failed because of its 【7】 and imprecision. Following these financial setbacks, he filed for  protection  from  his  creditors  via  bankruptcy,  and  with  the  help  of  Henry  Huttleston Rogers 【8】 overcame his financial troubles. Twain chose to pay all his pre-bankruptcy creditors in full, though he had no legal responsibility to do so.

Twain was born 【9】 after a visit by Halley’s Comet, and he predicted that he would go out with it, too. He died the day after the comet returned. He 【10】 himself as the  “greatest American humorist of his age”, and William Faulkner called Twain “the father of  American literature”.
