【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了父母试图教导孩子们如何理财的故事。每个星期，茱莉亚和兄弟们都要去看望爷爷奶奶，爷爷奶奶每次都会给孩子们一些零花钱。看到孩子们一拿到钱就花掉，父母制订了一个特殊的测试，让孩子们理财。然而，茱莉亚和她的兄弟们管理钱财的方式各不相同。
【答案精析】
1．D 考查代词辨析。all“所有的”；some “一些”；many “很多”；each“每一个”。由child可知此处需要修饰单数名词的代词，故选D。
2．B 考查非谓语动词的用法。由上下文可知，空格处作伴随状语，且与主语they为主动关系，故选B。
3．B 考查动词辨析。borrow“借来”；manage“管理”；make“制作”；save“节省”。由下文中的“they could manage to get with those few coins”及语境可知父母试图教导孩子们理财，故选B。
4．A 考查介词辨析。此句为which引导的非限制性定语从句，修饰前面整句话。先行词为test，此处表示在测试中，故关系词应由介词in＋ which构成，故选A。
5．C 考查疑问词辨析。why“为什么”；how“如何”；what“什么”；which“哪一个”。分析句子成分可知空格处应填宾语从句的引导词，且该词在从句中作宾语，用what，故选C。
6．A 考查形容词辨析。由定冠词the可知应用形容词最高级形式，可排除B项；cleverest“最聪明的”；lazie st“最懒的”；most helpful“最有帮助的”。再由语境可知Ruben是最聪明的男孩，学着自己挣钱。故选A。
7．D 考查名词辨析。pride“骄傲”；thing“事情”；money“钱”；support“支持”。Ruben的想法应该是得到了全家人的支持，故选D。
8．A 考查介词短语辨析。as usual “像平常一样”；as well“也”；at least“至少”；at most“最多”。由语境可知Nico还是跟平时一样花钱。故选A。
9．C 考查形容词辨析。excited“兴奋的”；hel pful“有帮助的”；unfair“不公平的”；unimportant“不重要的”。因为Ruben看到Nico还是跟以前一样花钱，而自己却在设法挣钱，觉得这样不公平，故选C。
10．D 考查代词辨析。something“一些事”；everything“所有事”；nothing“没有什么事”；anything“任何事”。由But可知父母以为Julia什么都没做，故选D。
11．B 考查名词辨析。piano“钢琴”；violin“小提琴”；guitar“吉他”；drum“鼓”。由下文的“They knew that Julia liked the violin”可知Julia给家人演奏的是小提琴，故选B。
12．C 考查形容词辨析。sorry“抱歉的”；regretful “悔恨的”；surprised“惊奇的”；unhappy“不高兴的”。由上下文语境可知家人们对于Julia会拉小提琴这件事很惊讶，故选C。
13．D 考查动词辨析。try“尝试”；get“得到”；buy“买”；afford“支付得起”。由于Julia的家庭贫穷，因此付不起她的小提琴课费用，故选D。
14．B 考查副词辨析。suddenly“突然”；deeply“深深地”；hardly“几乎不”；actually“实际上”。由上下文语境可知，小提琴家被Julia深深打动了，故选B。
15．C 考查动词辨析。give“给予”；borrow“借来”；rent“租给”；buy“买”。由下文“Julia gave performances in the street to earn enough money to pay for the violin.”可知小提琴是租给Julia的，故选C。
