20、found me13.答案：take/suffer/bear the consequences三、答案：1-4.BBCC解析：1.细节理解题。由第一段最后一句Embarrassingly, I have also realised just how much money Ive squandered on the pubs, restaurants and mindless shopping.可知,作者意识到她在酒吧和餐馆以及盲目购物的过程中浪费了很多钱,A项、C项和D项的内容均在句中提到,只有B项没有提及,故选B。2.细节理解题。由第二段第三句Giving up spending for a
21、 year was an extreme approach, but I wanted to taste extreme frugality(节俭), shake up my spending patterns and overpay my mortgage(按揭) instead of shopping.可知,作者一年不支出的目的是体会极端节俭,彻底调整原来的消费模式,多付按揭贷款,故选B。3.细节理解题。由第四段第三句Living in London I have a wealth of free cultural activities on my doorstep and Ive bee
22、n to more art exhibitions this year than ever before.可知,作者在伦敦参加了更多免费的文化活动,例如艺术展览,故选C。4.推理判断题。由最后一段可知,作者在这一年中获得了自信和技能,做了很多事情,遇到了很多可爱的人,故选C项“它是有益处的”。 四、答案：GBCDA解析：这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了家庭作业给学生带来的益处:锻炼学生的时间管理能力、老师的积极评价帮助学生树立自信等,同时也指出家庭作业应当适当布置,否则就会变成一种惩罚。 根据上文Homework is made up of out-of-class activities and
23、 at-home activities teachers assign to students. It can include practice assignments that emphasize newly acquired skills.可知,家庭作业由课外活动和教师分配给学生的家庭活动组成,它可以包括强调新获得的技能的实践作业;根据下文Projects that have to be worked on in agreement with schoolwork also form a part of homework.可知,家庭作业也包括与学校作业一致的活动。由此可推断此处也应介绍家庭
24、作业的类型。上文中的assignments可对应到G项中的assignments,G项(它可以是准备作业,使学生为课堂活动做好准备。)符合文意,故选G。本句位于段首,有总领全段的作用。后文介绍了家庭作业给学生带来的好处,如锻炼学生管理时间的能力和独立完成任务的能力,因此B项(家庭作业可以在多方面使学生受益。)符合文意。故选B。根据后文And those positive remarks can help develop students confidence and encourage them to keep up with their good work.可知,那些积极的评价有助于培养学生
25、的自信心,并鼓励他们继续他们良好的表现。那些积极的评价就是指老师给学生的评价,对应C选项(老师对学生做的作业给出评价。)。下文中remarks对应到C选项中的comments,指老师对学生做的作业给出的评价,上下文连贯通顺,故选C。根据本段第一句可知,此段讲的是家庭作业使学生从错误中吸取教训并克服缺点。根据前文It provides them with a platform to express what they know or have newly found, and exhibit their talents.可知,家庭作业给他们提供了一个表达他们知道或新发现的东西、展示他们的才华的平台。D项中的It also gives与上文中的It provides相呼应,且D项(它也让学生练习他们在学校学到的东西。)与上一句共同构成下文These所指的内容。因此D项符合文意,故选D。根据上文The amount and difficulty level of homework assignments should match the ages and abilities of students.可知家庭作业的数量和困难度应该与学生的年龄和能力相匹配,故可推测下文是指如果不匹配,家庭作业就会成为惩罚。故选A。5
