試題分析：這篇短文講述的是Betty會想各種方法來省錢，Betty和George想買車，他們應(yīng)該是需要花錢，Betty沒有工作，要用其他方法來節(jié)約錢。
小題1:考查名詞及語境的理解。句意：Betty沒有工作，所以她總是找各種各樣的辦法來節(jié)約錢。work 工作，是一個不可數(shù)名詞。這里的空前有不定冠詞a，故這個選項不對；job 工作，是可數(shù)名詞；child 孩子；house房子。根據(jù)文意可知，Betty和George想買車，他們應(yīng)該是需要花錢，所以這里應(yīng)該是說Betty沒有工作，要用其他方法來節(jié)約錢。孩子和房子都跟這件事情沒有關(guān)系。故選B。
小題2:考查動詞及語境的理解。句意：她給George做三明治，讓他帶著去上班，這樣他就不用買午飯了。make 制作；eat 吃；have 吃，喝；buy 買。根據(jù)上句話我們可以知道，Betty親自制作三明治給George，讓他帶著去上班，這樣午飯George就可以吃三明治，就不用再買午飯吃了，這樣就可以節(jié)約錢。故應(yīng)選D。
小題3:考查連詞及語境的理解。句意：路程并不長，但是公共汽車很慢。or 或者，表示選擇；and 和，表示連接；but 但是，表示轉(zhuǎn)折；so因此，表示因果。根據(jù)句意可知，這里是轉(zhuǎn)折的關(guān)系，從公司回家的路并不長，但是公共汽車很慢，所以George每天很晚回家。
小題4:考查形容詞及語境的理解。句意：有一天，交通比平常更糟糕了。選項中是四個比較級的形式，larger 更大的；bigger 更大的；worse 更糟糕的，是bad 的比較級；better更好的，是good 的比較級。根據(jù)上文可知，George每天坐公共汽車回家要花很長時間，因為公共汽車很慢。這一次，公共汽車比平時更慢了。故選C，更糟糕了。
小題5:考查連詞及語境的理解。句意：第二天下班后，他決定試一試。after在…之后；before 在…之前；since 自從…；until直到…才。承接上文的意思，George覺得坐公共汽車回家很慢，他跑步都能比它更快。所以，這次下班后，他決定試一試，看是否能比公共汽車還快。故選A。
小題6:考查動詞及語境的理解。句意：他跑到了公共汽車站，但是沒有上車。get off 下車；get on 上車；come up with 追上，趕上；stop 停止。根據(jù)文意可知，George想試一試，看是否跑得比公共汽車還要快。所以他來到公共汽車站，但是不上車。故選B。
小題7:考查形容詞及語境的理解。句意：他在公共汽車旁邊的人行道上跑。他必須跑得很快才能趕上公共汽車。most 大多數(shù)，大部分；much 很多，修飾不可數(shù)名詞；more 更多的，是一個比較級；quite相當，很，是一個副詞，修飾形容詞。根據(jù)句意可知選D。
小題8:考查形容詞及語境的理解。句意：他回到了家。Betty非常吃驚的看到他氣喘吁吁。excited 興奮的，激動的；surprised 吃驚的，驚奇的；interested 有趣的；bored無聊的。根據(jù)文章的意思可知，George平時都是坐公共汽車回家的，但這一次他是跑回來的，Betty并不知道，所以Betty很吃驚看到他氣喘吁吁的回來了。故選B。
小題9:考查介詞及語境的理解。句意：沒有付車費，我省了兩美元五十美分。for 因為，為了；no 沒有，是一個形容詞，修飾名詞；without 介詞，沒有；instead副詞，代替。根據(jù)文意可知，George沒有坐公共汽車，所以就不用買車票，故而省下了2美元50美分。故選C。
小題10:考查疑問詞及語境的理解。句意：你為什么不在出租車旁邊跑，這樣你就能省下6美元了。Betty說。when 什么時候；what 什么；why 為什么；where在哪里。文章的開頭已經(jīng)告訴了我們Betty會想各種方法來省錢，所以這里Betty覺得，如果George跟在出租車旁邊跑而省下打出租車的費用的話，他就可以省6美元了。故選C。

The film of this week is Life of Pi. Pi has been raised in a zoo in India. When his father decides to move the family to Canada and sell the animals to American zoos, they get on a Japanese ship. The ship sinks, and 16-year-old Pi finds himself alone on a lifeboat with a hyena, an orangutan, a zebra, and a tiger.
Soon, there’s only Pi and the tiger. They spend 227 days in the Pacific Ocean. Pi’s fear, knowledge, and wisdom keep him alive.

The usual time spent on a computer in a week was about twelve hours, with       user about thirty-two hours, and the lowest user only five hours.
All the children said they usually used computers      . Fourteen children told us they did some word processing (文字處理)       . Only two of them said computers helped with their lessons, and eight people told us they kept addresses and phone numbers on their computers or used       as diaries. Only three people said they were learning to make computer programmes and nobody looked up databases(數(shù)據(jù)庫). None of them used computers for any      use.
The results show that computer use is quite high among 14～18 year old. They also show quite clearly that computers      by most young people as little more than game machines. The only other great uses are for word-processing and      address lists. Though computers are common in the homes of young people, they have not yet become useful in everyday life.
