课时跟踪练(一) Warm up & Lesson 1 Pre-reading.阅读理解AMoney is all surrounding us. Every day, we see it, use it, and it is one the tip of our tongue. Did you ever stop to consider where the money you carry around every day comes from?Making new money is a very unique job and no easy task. It has up to 65 steps. When the money in use gets dirty and worn out, it will be replaced with new money. The old money is taken from banks and brought to places where it is destroyed. Usually, the old money is burned. The burned money is replaced by new paper money.While old money is being replaced, new money is being printed in a place called a mint (铸币厂). Large sheets of paper are printed with many pictures of some currency (流通货币). These large sheets are cut into individual bills. The individual bills are then put together in big stacks and then sent to banks.Sometimes the mint will make a new bill with a new picture (photos of statesmen and places of interest are favoured) or a new colour. It is not easy for the government to make a new bill. It takes a long time, and there are many steps to go through before a new bill can be sent to banks. First, people in the government decide that a new kind of bill is needed. Then, they ask an artist to design the new bill. A different artist cuts the new picture into a soft piece of metal called a die. The dies are made and put onto large printing machines. Then, very special paper is used, which no one but the mint can have. Along with this special paper, the mint also prints currency using special colours. After the dies print the new currency onto the paper, the bills are cut, stacked，and sent off to the banks.1From the text we know that _.Abanks make new moneyBit takes 65 procedures to make new moneyCmints decide what kind of bill is neededDold money that is not used is forever stored in a special place解析：选B细节理解题。由第二段中的“It has up to 65 steps.”可知B项正确。2We can infer from the text that a die is _.Asomething for dead peopleBa special machine that prints the moneyCa special piece of paper that the money is made fromDa piece of metal that prints the picture onto the money解析：选D推理判断题。根据上下文，尤其是最后一段中的“A different artist cuts the new picture into a soft piece of metal called a die.

Before setting off, I researched into it on the Internet. The Summer Palace is composed mostly of a lake, but its surrounded by beautiful greenery and a walkway that circles the lake. It is recommended that you give the Summer Palace about three hours. If you try to walk around it, it could take five or six hours. With that knowledge of it, I set off.The highlight of the tour had to be the view from the Tower of Buddhist Incense. It sits on top of a large hill overlooking the lake and that is worth the climb. It was built as a place to worship (敬拜) Buddha. And in the Summer Palace, unlike most of the other places, photography wasnt allowed in most of the buildings. Most of the statues of Buddha and the other artifacts (手工艺品) were offlimits to photos.Another highlight was seeing the stage created for the Dowager Empress where she watched the opera and other theater items. There are box seats that surround the stage and it was the largest stage created in all of Imperial China. You could almost imagine royalty reviewing the actors from the boxes and the stage.I do recommend taking a boat ride if you go, which takes you from one side of the lake to the other side where you can see another set of buildings. And it is fun. You can also rent an electric or paddle boat if you want. But since it was just me, I went on one of the biggest boats with other people.I spent another four hours wandering around the Summer Palace. But I didnt see all of it because it was getting dark. I am looking forward to visiting it again.9Before setting off to the Summer Palace, the author _.Aasked others about itBdidnt think it was largeCdidnt know what to seeDlearned something about it解析：选D细节理解题。根据第一段的“Before setting off, I researched into it on the Internet.”可知，出发前作者了解了一些颐和园的情况。10While visiting the Tower of Buddhist Incense, the author _.Aworshipped BuddhaBtouched some artifactsCcouldnt take photos as she likedDwasnt deeply impressed by it at all解析：选C推理判断题。根据第二段的“Most of the statues of Buddha and the other artifacts (手工艺品) were offlimits to photos.”可推断，作者不能尽情地拍照。11What do we know about the second highlight mentioned in the text?AIt sits on top of a hill.BIt is the largest stage all over China.COperas are performed there at times.DIt was for the royalty to watch performances.解析：选D细节理解题。根据第三段的“Another highlight was seeing the stage created for the Dowager Empress where she watched the opera and other theater items.”以及后文内容可知，这个地方是供清皇室成员观看表演的。12Why did the author choose to take a ride in a big boat instead of other boats?ABecause the author was persuaded to do that.BBecause the author wanted to be more comfortable.CBecause the author wanted to save some money.DBecause it was more suitable for the author to do that.解析：选D推理判断题。根据第四段的最后两句“You can also rent an electric or paddle boat if you want. But since it was just me, I went on one of the biggest boats with other people.”可知，这种选择更适合作者。.阅读七选五Parents are often scared to talk to their kids about money. In fact kids need to understand how to save and manage their money. Proper preparation of your children, even at a young age, can start them down the path of a successful financial life._1_Talk early and often.Children start learning about money long before their first savings account, job or credit card. _2_ Avoiding the subject until your child needs a bank account can make the conversation hasty (草率的) and confusing._3_A trip to the grocery is a good time to explain price comparison, value and inflation. An ATM stop offers a chance to explain that money doesnt actually come from a machine. You can discuss both earned income, investment (投资) returns and even inheritance (继承). Opening bills is a chance to talk about payment for services，credit card debt and interest rates. Children need to be taught
