in a lot of ways we seem to be reverting to the frugal(economical) sensibilities of a past generation. more people are choosing to be more picky when they swipe their credit cards even if that means not buying things until they have money in their bank accounts, the days of the $0-down mortgage(抵押贷款)seem to be murdered, and there is a lot more acceptance of environmentally-friendly technologies that promise to reduce our overall dependency on foreign oil even if it means taking a hit to the excesses that used to define our quality of living.an interesting new trend being taken by small businesses is the practice of offering discounted prices to customers willing to pay in cash. this is not the same as paying “under the table”-rather, the store saves its merchant processing fees and passes those savings on to the customers. the idea is a good one in principle-paying in cash forces consumers to take stock of what they are spending as much as it saves stores from transaction(交易) fees. of course there are drawbacks to the plan. when people pay in cash, they tend to be more conservative with their spending since they tangibly(really) feel their money leave their possession. that will cause stores to lose profits because customers will think twice before buying highmargin “impulse” products at checkout whereas before they might not have thought twice before charging it. increased volume of cash handling opens stores to loss through employee theft at the till(抽屉), not to mention controls that need to be put into place to count and deposit physical currency.our family has saved a fortune by switching to cash. when getting to the bottom of your change jar means no more purchase power until your next pay period, you really start to appreciate the fine art of merchandising(做买卖) and the expertise applied to make you want to buy more and more. cold hard cash feels more organic, and helps us to appreciate the effort it takes to maintain our lifestyle.56. from the passage, we can learn that _.a. customers are in a more favorable position by paying in cash.b. people will not be allowed to use their credit cards if there is no money in their bank account. c. people have adjusted their way of living to the new situation.d. people are living better than before by paying in cash.【答案】c 【解析】细节理解题。根据全文的内容可知出现了新的现象时，人们会慢慢地去适应，故选c。57. by saying “people from all walks of life learn how to stretch their money”, the author means that _. a. people walk to work in order to save money.b. people of all professions learn to make the best use of their money.c. people of the whole society learn to earn more money.d. all people learn to extend money so that it is worth more.【答案】b【解析】句意理解题。all walks of life各行各业；stretch their money充分利用钱；这句应该是来自各行各业的人们都充分利用他们自己的钱，也就是让钱发挥最大的作用，故选b。58. when the customers pay their goods in cash, the stores will be affected in the following ways except _.a. the sale of their goods will decrease as the customers are more reluctant to buy things.b. there is a potential danger of money loss by their staff.c. it brings a burden to the stores as they need to deal with the cash.d. the stores make less money as they need to give some money back to the customers.【答案】d【解析】细节理解题。根据that will cause stores to lose profits because customers will think twice因为顾客不是情愿地去买东西所以商店的销售量会有所下降，选项a符合原文；increased volume of cash handling opens stores to loss through employee theft at the till(抽屉), not to mention controls that need to be put into place to count and deposit physical currency.有大量地现金使员工处理现金时负担增大，同时也增加了员工丢失钱的危险，选项cd符合原文；只有选项d没有提到，故选d。 59. what caused people to start to use cash instead of credit cards?a. the rising prices. b. high unemployment. c. the fuel shocks. d. the economic crisis.【答案】c 【解析】细节理解题。根据a lot of changes have been accelerated by the fuel shocks during the summer of 2008; in a lot of ways we seem to be reverting to the frugal(economical) sensibilities of a past generation.由于燃料的冲击，我们为了节俭，又开始使用现金来代替信用卡，故选c。60. whats the authors attitude towards the practice of paying in cash?a. approving b. ridiculous c. uninterested d. opposed 【答案】a【解析】细节理解题。approving赞成的； ridiculous荒谬的； uninterested不感兴趣的； opposed 反对的。根据cold hard cash feels more organic, and helps us to appreciate the effort it takes to maintain our lifestyle.可知作者对于现金支付是赞成的，故选a。【2014高考英语福建省莆田市教学质量检查试卷】 drferguson energetically pushed the preparations for his departure，and in person directed the construction of his balloonfor a long time past he had been applying himself to the study of the arab language and the various mandingoe idioms，and，thanks to his talents in language，he had made rapid progressin the meanwhile，his friend，the sportsman，never let him out ofhis sight-afraid，no doubt，that the doctor might take his departure，without saying a word to anybodyon this subject，he tried to discourage him with the most persuasive arguments，which，however，did not persuade samuel ferguson，and wasted his breath，by which the latter seemed to be but slightly movedin fine，dick felt that the doctor was slipping through his fingers the poor scot was really to be pitiedhe could not look upon theblue sky without a wild terror: when asleep，he felt dizziness(眩晕)that made his head turn around；and every night he had visions of crashing down from immeasurable heightswe must add that，during these nightmares，he once or twice fell out of bed. his first care then was to show ferguson a severe bump(肿块)that he had received on the fall“and yet，”hewould add，with warmth，“that was at the height of only three feet一not an inch more一and such a bump as this! only think，then!”this appeal，full of sad meaning as it was，did not seem to touch the doctors heartnot even the shadow of a doubt was ever suggested；and samuel made an intolerable misuse of the first person plural：“ourballoon，our car ；ourexpedition.” dick trembled at them，although he was determined not to go ;
