Ⅲ.阅读理解

(2010届湖南岳阳一中质检)

According to a recent survey on money and relationships,36% of people are keeping a bank account from their partner.While this financial unfaithfulness may appear as distrust in a relationship，in truth it may just be a form of financial protection.With almost half of all marriages ending in divorce，men and women are realizing they need to be financially savvy，regardless of whether they are in a relationship.

The financial hardship on individuals after a divorce can be extremely difficult，even more so when children are involved.The lack of permanency in relationships，job and family life may be the cause of a growing trend to keep a secret bank account hidden from a partner，in other words，an"escape fund".

Margaret's story is far from unique.She is a representative of a growing number of women in long-term relationships who are becoming protective of their own earnings.Every month on pay day，she banks hundreds of dollars into a savings account she keeps from her husband.She has been doing this throughout their six-year marriage and has built a nest egg worth an incredible$100,000.Margaret says if her husband found about her secret savings he'd be hurt and would take this as a sign that she wasn't sure of the marriage."He'd think it was my escape fund so that financially I could afford to get out of the relationship if it went wrong.I know you should approach marriage as being forever and I hope ours is，but you can never be sure."

Like many of her fellow secret savers，Margaret was hurt in a former relationship and has since been very guarded about her own money.

Coming clean to your partner about being a secret saver may not be all that bad.Take Colleen for example，who had been saving secretly for a few years before she confessed to her partner."I decided to open a savings account and start building a nest egg of my own.I wanted to prove to myself that I could put money in the bank and leave it there for a rainy day."

Ⅰ.单项填空

1.B　句意为：他是一个缺乏经验和意志薄弱的人，所以我认为他不能胜任这份工作。equal意为"胜任的"时，常与介词to连用。

2.C　principle原则，stick to the principle坚持原则，符合题意。

3.C　devote常与介词to连用，意为"献身于......"。

4.C　willing意为"愿意的"，be willing to do意为"愿意做";willingly是副词，意为"乐意地"，修饰动词短语play with。

5.B　given此处相当于considering，意为"考虑到;鉴于";reward在此处是"奖赏"之意，常指赏金或酬金。

6.A　be sentenced to imprisonment意为"被判入狱"。

7.B　as a matter of fact相当于in fact，意为"事实上"。

8.A　结合语境"for she often helps the poor old man"推断出她很"慷慨(generous)"。

9.D　本题考查"介词+关系代词"引导定语从句，此处介词的判断很关键，由句意"老人想求助于(turn to)别人"可知介词为to，故选D。正常的语序为"...unable to find a man whom he could turn to for help"。

10.D　考查句型结构。the first time可充当连词引导一个时间状语从句，for the first time只是一个介词短语，在句中作时间状语;at first首先，开始，含义不对;It was the first time这是我第一次......，此处句型结构不对。

11.D　考查should have done本来应该做某事而没有做。根据所提供的情景"I told your friend how to get to the hotel，but perhaps"可判断出本来应该用车把她带到那里的。

12.A　考查倒装句。题意是"PowerData公司只有限制成本才能保持对其他公司的优势"。从will PowerData hold可知此句用了部分倒装语序。四个选项中，只有only加介词短语"by keeping..."放在句首时，句子需要倒装。

13.C　set out意为"开始;出发"，set down意为"着手"，set up意为"建立"，set on意为"攻击;前进"。

14.B　由语境可知应用B项来鼓励对方。What a pity真遗憾，I'm sorry for you真为你难过，可惜，与题意不符。

15.B　believe相信某人(所说的话);believe in信任;信仰。

Ⅱ.完形填空

【语篇解读】　俗话说"贪小便宜吃大亏"，在生活中诚信显得很重要。本文通过描述Mr Glen的一段亲身经历说明了这一道理。

1.A　考查固定搭配。set up设立，成立;come up走近，出现;go up上升，增长;call up召唤，使想起。由语境可知选A，他成立了他的小公司。

2.C　根据全文可知，Mr Glen把这次教训当做交了一次"额外的"学费。extra额外的，不包括在价目内的。文章最后一段中because an additional high "school" fee也有暗示。

3. B　根据前文decided to return to the homeland可知，此处表示"离开"。

4.C　空后的made through years of work after school and the scholarships可知，表是他用他的积蓄(课外工作所得和奖学金)买的。saving存款，积蓄。

5.C　考查固定搭配。take down拿下，摘下;put down放下，拒绝;lie down躺下;look down俯视，跌价。此处的意思是：手表也要摘下来进行检查。

6.C　根据后文中nearly￥100,000可排除A和B，从had to pay the tax可知，携带特定的物品出境需要缴税。

7. B　it代指前面的the tax。

8. D　根据后文中carrying fake and shoddy (劣质的) goods可知。

9.B　be proud of以......自豪。他以为自己的小聪明会得逞，正洋洋自得。

10.A　in the presence of Glen当着Glen的面。

11. D　定语从句的引导词which指代the watch，cost的主语为物，spend的主语为人。

12. A　根据Glen was amazed可知答案。他还没有明白过来是怎么回事，就被带到了办公室。

13. D　根据后文"他知道只有'黑名单'上的人才'享受'这种特殊待遇，工作人员仔细检查了他的箱子"可以判断，应选D项。

14.B　此处指根据多次出入境的经历，他知道......

15.A　工作人员警告他无论什么时候出入境，他都必须接受检查。

16.B　这是一个省略的虚拟语气句。If (he was) found out reusing and carrying fake and shoddy (劣质的) goods，he would be charged according to law!find out查明(真相)。

17.D　board the plane登机。

18.D　固定短语make a deep impression on表示"对......留下深刻的印象"。

19.A　根据前文故事可知，他的经历让他懂得了诚实的重要性。

20.A　他将永远牢记诚信--他成功的秘密。

Ⅲ.阅读理解

【语篇解读】　根据最新调查，36%的人偷偷地开户攒起了私房钱。透过这一现象，我们看到了现代人对婚姻关系的不确定。

1.A　推理判断题。由全文特别是文中第二段可知，离婚后一个人如果经济不宽裕，生活将会很艰难，如果有孩子会更难。所以人们趋向攒私房钱是为了应对不稳定的婚姻关系、工作和家庭生活所带来的不时之需。

2.C　猜测词义题。因为几乎有一半的婚姻以离婚告终，所以人们意识到他们需要在财政上保持"明智"，故选C项。

3.B　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的"Margaret was hurt in a former relationship"可推知，Margaret曾离过婚。

4.D　推理判断题。由最后一段可知，作者举Colleen的例子是想说明向你的爱人坦白你藏"私房钱"并不是那么坏的事，也就是证明最后一段的第一句话。

5.A　主旨大意题。根据全文内容，特别是第一段引出的话题可知，本文主要向我们介绍了婚姻中出现的藏"私房钱"的现象。
