阅读理解第一部分 (来自2016中考英语模拟)阅读下面短文或图表，并选择正确答案。many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance (pocket money). the purpose is to let children learn from experiences at an age when financial (财务的) mistakes are not very costly.how much money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish is quite different from family to family. timing is another consideration. some children get a weekly allowance. others get a monthly allowance.in any case, parents should make clear what, if anything, the child is expected to pay for with the money. at first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it. if they do this, they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget (预算). parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance. the object is to show young people that a budget requires a choice between spending and saving. older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs, like clothing or electronics.many people who have written on the subject of allowances say it is not a good idea to pay your children for work around the home. these jobs are a normal part of family life. paying children to do other work around the house, however, can be useful. it can even provide an understanding of how a business works.allowances give children a chance to experience the three things they do with money. they can share it in the form of gifts or giving a good cause. they can spend it by buying things they want. or they can save it.saving helps children understand that costly goals sometimes need to give up something. you have to cut costs and plan for the future. requiring children to save part of their allowances can also open the door to future saving and investing. many banks offer services to help children and teenagers learn about personal finance. a saving account (账户) is an excellent way to learn about the power of compound interest (复利息).compounding works by paying interest. so, for example, one dollar invested at two percent interest for two years will get two percent of one dollar and two cents, and so on. that may not seem like a lot, but over time it adds up.52. parents give their children allowance in order to _.a. let them make more money b. pay for the housework they doc. let them learn the value of moneyd. help children manage family finance 53. what is the second paragraph mainly about?a. the time to give allowance.b. the way to spend allowance.c. how much allowance given to children.d. considerations taken to give allowances.54. why are parents advised to offer children allowances as planned?a. to have children save money for larger costs.b. to give them more allowances next time.c. to help children learn to make a budget.d. to let children make fewer mistakes.55. what does the writer try to tell us?a. the ways of limiting allowances.b. the advice on a better family budget.c. offering allowance to children properly.d. teaching children to use allowances wisely.参考答案52. c 53. d 54. c 55. d(来自2016中考英语模拟)阅读下面短文或图表，并选择正确答案。who do you want to say thank-you to?yang qihang, 15, taiyuani want to say thank-you to my friends. as studying gets busy, we havent seen each other for a long time. but surprisingly, they still remembered my birthday. when they showed up together on my celebration, i was really touched. distances dont really matter as friends always share joy and tears together, no matter how far away.zhang yaoyi, 14, shanghairivals (对手) are whom i am really thankful for. they give us motivation to move on. take studying as an example: sometimes i feel tired and dont want to study anymore. but my rivals may make good use of the time that i am wasting. thinking about this, i feel energetic and cannot give up. and gradually, i improve.wang lin, 13, baotouthe person that i am thankful for is my father. he is a policeman and busy most of the time. but as long as he has a holiday, he will travel with me around the country. this summer vacation, we drove to beijing. we visited the famous birds nest and traditional hutong. my father said that the best way to open my mind is to meet culture in different places.41. who does yang qihang want to say thank-you to?
