Unit 10 Money.阅读理解A(2019浙江高考)Money_with_no_strings_attached. Its not something you see every day. But at Union Station in Los Angeles last month, a board went up with dollar bills attached to it with pins and a sign that read, “Give What You Can, Take What You Need.”People quickly caught on. And while many took dollars, many others pinned their own cash to the board. “People of all ages, races, and socioeconomic (社会经济的) backgrounds gave and took,” said Tyler Bridges of The Toolbox, which created the project. “We even had a bride in her wedding dress come up to the board and take a few dollars.” Most of the bills on the board were singles, but a few people left fives, tens and even twenties. The video clip (片段) shows one man who had found a $20 bill pinning it to the board.“What I can say for the folks that gave the most, is that they were full of smiles,” Bridges said. “Theres a certain feeling that giving can do for you and that was apparent in those that gave the most.” Most people who took dollars took only a few, but Bridges said a very small number took as much as they could.While the clip might look like part of a new ad campaign, Bridges said the only goal was to show generosity and sympathy. He added that he hopes people in other cities might try similar projects and post their own videos on the Internet.“After all, everyone has bad days and good days,” he said. “Some days you need a helping hand and some days you can be the one giving the helping hand.”篇章导读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要向读者介绍了Tyler Bridges创办的一项“尽你所能,取你所需”的活动。这一活动吸引了许多不同的人,其唯一目的就是展现人们的慷慨和同情心。结果显示,人们付出的多,获取的少,达到了预期效果。1.What does the expression “Money with no strings attached” in paragraph 1 mean?A.Money spent without hesitation.B.Money not legally made.C.Money offered without conditions.D.Money not tied together.答案:C句意理解题。根据第一段中的“Give What You Can, Take What You Need.(尽你所能,取你所需)”可知,此处“Money with no strings attached”的意思应该是“无条件提供钱”,故C项正确。2.What did Bridges want to show by mentioning the bride?A.Women tended to be more sociable.B.The activity attracted various people.C.Economic problems were getting worse.D.Young couples needed financial assistance.答案:B细节理解题。根据第二段中的“People of all ages, races, and socioeconomic (社会经济的) backgrounds gave and took, .” 可知,这项活动吸引了不同年龄、不同种族、不同社会经济背景的人们,甚至有一位穿礼服的新娘都来拿了几美元。提到这位新娘的目的是说明这项活动吸引了许多不同的人,故B项正确。3.Why did Bridges carry out the project?A.To do a test on peoples morals.B.To raise money for his company.C.To earn himself a good reputation.D.To promote kindness and sympathy.答案:D细节理解题。根据第四段第一句可知,Bridges开展该项活动的目的是展现人们的慷慨和同情心,故选D项。B(2020吉林省梅河口市高三上学期联考)Best Way to Save MoneyAlthough the best way to save money can vary from person to person, depending on age, family size and other characteristics, there are still some easy things that all shoppers can do to keep more money in their bank accounts.
