31、stly“昂贵的，代价高的”而不是 cheap“便宜的”。解析：J解析 此处应填名词。根据句意分析“ -|_|-是另一个考虑。有些孩子每周得到零花钱，有些孩子每月得到零花钱。”此空应和时间有关，选项中 Timing表示“时机，时间安排”，复合句意，因此选 Timing。解析：L解析 从语法可知，此处缺副词。再分析句意“起初，年幼的孩子可能会在拿到零花钱后 -|_|-花完了所有的钱。”纵观选项，soon“很快”符合句意。解析：A解析 此处应填名词。联系前后句“起初，年幼的孩子可能会在拿到零花钱后很快花完了所有的钱。他们如果这样做了，就历经艰难学到开支必须有 -|_|-”。这里所缺的名词应表示限制
32、，范围的意思。选项中 budget和 limit备选，budget“预算”更符合本篇的语境和题材，另外，下一段首句也再次出现了 budget，因此选 budget。解析：C解析 此处应填名词。本句意思是“这样做的目的是让孩子们知道预算需要在 -|_|-和存款之间做出抉择”，所缺名词应该表示和存款 saving相反的意思，选项中spending“支出”符合句意。解析：F解析 此处应填形容词。根据句意“年纪大一点的孩子可能足够 -|_|-，他们省钱以备应付更大的开支，比如说衣服或者电子产品。”选项中 responsible“可靠的，负责的”符合句意。解析：N解析 此处应填动词。本段大意是零用钱给了
33、孩子们一个机会去体验他们能用钱做的事，他们可以买自己想要的东西，“可以存起来甚至是 -|_|-”。根据逻辑分析，从花钱 spend到存钱 save，存在递进的关系，下一个名词应该表示再进一步的关系，故 invest“投资”比 secure“保护”更符合句意。解析：I解析 此处应填名词。该句意为“储蓄帮助孩子们明白，昂贵的目标需要 -|_|-：必须精简开支，为未来打算”，选项中 sacrifice“牺牲”比 patience“耐心”更符合句意。解析：M解析 此处应填名词。该句意为“许多银行为儿童和青少年提供 -|_|-”。选项中 services“服务”符合句意，而 loans“贷款”文中并没有
34、出现类似概念，和本段前一句“开启孩子们未来储蓄和投资的大门”中的 saving和 investing意义相反，所以排除。解析：O解析 此处应填名词。根据句意“很多银行为儿童和青少年提供服务以帮助他们学习个人 -|_|-”选项中 finance有“财务，资金”的意思，personal finance 短语意为“个人理财”，进一步确认答案为 finance。Everybody loathes it, but everybody does it.

42、reward表示“奖励，报答”，符合句意，因此选 reward。解析：D解析 从语法可知，此处缺形容词。再分析句意“较多的小费和良好的服务之间的关系是非常 -|_|-：小费数量的差异中只有很小一部分与服务质量有关”。可知小费收得高和服务得好没有必然的关系，选项中 weak“微弱的，不充分的”符合句意，排除 vague“模糊的”。解析：K解析 此处应填形容词。本句意为“在美国，小费的习俗已经制度化：它被看成是一项服务 -|_|-价格的一部分”。这里所缺的形容词应符合小费习俗化、制度化的语境。选项中accepted有“公认的，合乎常规的”的意思，因此选 accepted。解析：G解析 此处应填名词
43、。本句意思是“在纽约的餐馆里，没有支付至少 15%小费的顾客很有可能会遭到服务员的 -|_|-”，联系前文，小费已成习俗，且制度化，那么没有达到标准的顾客很有可能遭到服务员的不满、抱怨，选项中 abuse“辱骂，恶语伤人”符合句意，而 torture“拷问，折磨”程度太严重，应排除。解析：E解析 此处应填动词的被动式。根据句意“在欧洲，付小费没有那么普遍；在许多餐厅，标准服务价格 -|_|-自由支付的小费”。可知选项中 replaced“取代，代替”符合句意。解析：J解析 此处应填副词。本句大意为“在许多亚洲国家，付小费 -|_|-真正流行起来”，联系前文，小费在不同国家流行程度不一样，在美国
44、小费普遍接受并且已成习俗，在欧洲小费就没有那么普遍。按照递减的逻辑，到了亚洲付小费的人应该更少了。根据常识也可推断在亚洲付小费并不常见。所以应该选副词 never“从未”而不是 ever“曾经”。解析：H解析 此处应填动词。联系后文，本段主要分析了性格和付小费之间的关系，回到该句“如何 -|_|-这些国家之间的差别呢”，选项中 account和介词 for构成搭配 account for“解释，说明”。解析：M解析 此处应填形容词。本句意思是“美国人 -|_|-善于表达。小费和社会认可有关。”说明该空的形容词和 expressive都表示性格外向，选项中 outgoing“开朗的，外向的”符合
45、句意。解析：I解析 此处应填名词。根据句意“相比美国人，冰岛人通常不付小费，这无疑体现了他们性格的 -|_|-”，可知美国人外向，冰岛人自然是内向，所以应选 introversion，而不是extroversion“外向”。Why is it so difficult to fall asleep when you are overtired?
