M: People who live in cities usually take their dirty clothes to a laundry place called a “laundromat”. These public businesses are usually open from 7: 00 am to 10: 00 pmA smaller laundromat might have a dozen washers and a dozen dryers, while a larger one might have twice that number. Most places do not have any employees there, as there are simple instructions posted near the machines and everything can be done without assistance. Most people bring their own washing soap, but there is often a machine that sells small packages in case you run out or forget yours. During the weekend, it can be hard to find an open machine while it is much easier during the weekdaysMany laundry places have TVs, video games, magazines, or free WiFi.

阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
BEIJING (News Agency) — Children in China today spend five times more money than their parents did when they were young.
So what are all these children buying? The list is long: iPads, cell phones and jeans are typical items that children “have to” buy. And they will do anything to get them. They ask their parents over and over until they buy them.
But parents also need to take the blame(责备) for spending so much money. They want their children to have the best things. They end up competing with other parents over whether their children have the latest products.
So it’s no wonder children find it hard to learn the importance of saving money rather than spending it all the time.
And it’s hard to save when companies use advertising (打广告)and clever slogans (口号) to encourage young people to buy their products. They even encourage children to keep asking their parents for something until they get it.
Today, you don’t even need to have money in order to buy something. Banks give out credit cards and loans (贷款) all the time, so people are saving less and less. We are used to carrying lots of money around. And if you don’t have much, you can always borrow some.
But this hasn’t always been the case. When our grandparents were young, there was very little money and everyone had to save hard for things they bought. They only bought things they needed, not things they just wanted.
The older generation made the wise expression, “Money doesn’t grow on trees. ” This is as true now as it was 50 years ago. They give money a great deal of value. And we all have a lot to learn from them.
【文章大意】作者讲述了现在的孩子们花钱多、高消费的现状, 分析了导致此现象的原因。
21. The text mainly tells us ______.
A. differences between teenagers and their parents
B. what is popular among children at the moment
C. how to spend money wisely
D. children’s high consumption(消费) of products
【解析】选D。主旨大意题。第一段表明了本文主题——现在中国的孩子们花钱是父辈花钱的5倍, 下文说明了他们购买的东西和导致此现象的原因。所以本文主要内容是讲述孩子们对产品的高消费问题, 故选D。
22. Parents are to blame for children’s spending a lot of money because ______.
A. they don’t give children positive guidance in consumption
B. they offer to buy the latest fashions for their children
C. they always give children too much pocket money
D. their consumption habits set a bad example to children
【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据第三段But parents also need to take the blame for spending so much money. They want their children to have the best things. 可知父母总是想给孩子买最好的东西, 造成了孩子的高消费问题, 所以父母也该受到责备。
23. The saying “Money doesn’t grow on trees. ” in the last paragraph seems to tell us that ______.
A. the older generation understood how to teach children to save
B. in the past, people attached more importance to saving money
C. money has a great deal of value both in the past and at present
D. money is not easily earned and we should be careful when we spend it
【解析】选D。推理判断题。根据When our grandparents were young, there was very little money and everyone had to save hard for things they bought. They only bought things they needed, not things they just wanted. 可知祖辈们都是为买东西攒钱, 他们只买需要的东西, 而不是想要的东西。所以“Money doesn’t grow on trees. ”告诉我们挣钱不容易, 花钱要节省。
B
If you are invited to a wedding, baby shower or other celebrations, you will be expected to bring a gift. Unless you know the host very well, the gift should be modest in value, about $25 or so.
For a wedding, the bride will have “registered ( 登 记 )” at one or two local department stores, indicating the items she prefers. You can buy the couple a gift that isn’t listed, but most people buy something listed on the registry (记录簿). If you buy an item listed on the registry, be sure to tell the store that you are doing this, so that the couple doesn’t receive duplicate (重复的) gifts. For a baby shower, bring a gift appropriate for a newborn baby.
If you wish to give a gift when you leave to return to your country, the best gift is something unique to your country. It does not need to be especially valuable or rare. Possibilities include a book about your country, an inexpensive piece of handicraft(手工艺品)or art, or something else that reflects your culture. If the children collect coins and stamps, they would be very pleased with a set of your country’s coins or a selection of stamps from your country.
If you owe a debt of deep gratitude to an American host family, a common way of repaying it is to take the family to a form of entertainment, such as baseball, basketball, or a good restaurant.
Gift giving is not as important in America as it is in other countries, so there is nothing wrong with not giving a gift. If you need help, talk to a salesperson at a department store. Tell them about the person who will be receiving the gift and the reason for the gift, and they will help you find something appropriate.
【文章大意】这是一篇说明文。本文主要说明了在美国不同的场合, 比如: 参加婚礼、婴儿洗礼或其他的庆祝活动, 你应该带什么样的礼物。
24. Why is collecting coins mentioned in the third paragraph?
A. To show the important role of coins as gifts.
B. To stress the popularity of coin collecting in America.
C. To give an example of selecting a unique gift.
D. To explain the relation between coins and culture.
【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据第三段第一句If you wish to give a gift when you leave to return to your country, the best gift is something unique to your country. 可知如果你想在回国时送一件礼物, 最好的礼物是属于你的国家的独一无二的东西。下文则列举了收集硬币, 可知是为了举一个选择独特礼物的例子。故选C。
25. What does the author intend to do in Para. 4?
A. Introduce a way to show gratitude.
B. Add some background information.
C. Summarize(总结) the previous paragraphs.
D. Recommend some family-friendly activities.
【解析】选A。推理判断题。根据第四段If you owe a debt of deep gratitude to an American host family, a common way of repaying it is to take the family to a form of entertainment, such as baseball, basketball, or a good restaurant. 可知如果你对一个美国寄宿家庭怀有深深的感激之情, 一种常见的报答方式是带他们去看一场娱乐活动, 比如棒球运动、篮球运动或去一家不错的餐馆。即第四段作者是想介绍一种表达感激的方法。
26. The writer develops the passage mainly by ______.
A. using numbers
B. giving examples
C. giving reasons
D. telling stories
【解析】选B。推理判断题。文章第二、三、四段分别列举了婚礼、回国送礼物以及想要表达感激三种送礼的场合来论述, 可知作者是通过举例子的方式来展开这篇文章的。
27. Which can serve as a title for the text?
A. How to select a gift
B. Gift giving in America
