Text 1
M：I think I'll have ice cream for dessert.What would you like to have?
W：The chocolate cake looks delicious to me.But I want to lose weight.
Text 2
W：Do you have any plans for this weekend，John?
M：I'm actually supposed to go out of town with my parents.It's my dad's birthday，and they invited my sister and I to go skiing with them.
W：Oh，that sounds nice！I was going to ask if you wanted to go to the movies with me.
M：How about next weekend?
Text 3
M：Josie，would you mind helping me paint my bedroom tomorrow？My brother was going to help me，but he broke his arm yesterday.I will make you lunch...what do you say?
W：Of course I will help you，Oliver.I am sorry to hear about your brother's arm.I hope he feels better soon.
Text 4
M：How do you figure out the fare?
W：Well，the first five kilometers are $5，and every extra kilometer costs you $3.
Text 5
W：Do you have any experience of doing this kind of work，Mr.Jacobs?
M：I'm afraid I don't，madam，but I've always been interested in this type of work.And I have a lot of other experience，as you can see from my résumé.
Text 6
M：Hello，madam.What can I do for you?
W：My feet hurt.I think I need some new shoes.
M：What size do you wear?
W：The last time I bought new shoes was about a year ago，and at that time，my size was 7.
M：Well，once you get to be in your twenties，your feet will stop growing，so your size is probably still 7.But let's measure them just in case.
W：OK...so，that does it say?
M：Well，it looks like your size is 8.No wonder your feet have been hurting.You've been wearing shoes that are one size smaller!
Text 7
W：Whew！Thanks for stopping.Sometimes it can be impossible to get a cab in the rain.
M：No worries.Where to?
W：I'm going to Fifth Avenue and East 22nd Street.No rush hour.I'm one of the lucky ones.Usually, I would have an appointment around this time，but today I get to go home early!
M：That's great，madam.I'll try to get you home as early as possible.
Text 8
W：OK，that's a cut！Let's take it from the top，everyone.
M：What is the problem this time?
W：The feeling is all wrong，Mike.She is telling you that she doesn't want to see you anymore，and I want to get more anger from you.You're acting hurt and sad，but that's not how your character would act in this situation.
M：But Jason and Laura have been together for three years.Don't you think his reaction would be both anger and sadness?
W：At this point，no.I think he would react the way most guys would, and then later on，we would see his real feelings.
M：I'm not so sure about that.
W：Let's try it my way，and you can see how you feel when you're saying your lines.After that，if it still doesn't feel right，we can go back to the drawing board.
Text 9
W：Have you been watching the Euro 2024 football tournament?
M：Just a bit.Why，have you?
W：Of course！I've really started to like football since I came to London.Just think，a year ago，I was still in Montreal and didn't know anything about it.
M：Well，I'm from New Jersey.Americans aren't so into football.Actually，we call it soccer.When Americans say “football”，what we mean is American rules football.I've been here two years now，and I still get confused when people call soccer “football”．
W：I know all about America.For you，“football” means the sport where those big guys wear helmets and violently run into each other.
M：Yeah.Americans prefer watching sports that are fast，like basketball.I think basketball players are the greatest athletes on earth.What they can do just amazes me.But when I watch a soccer match，I just get bored.There aren't enough goals.
W：Well，I see what you're saying，but there's so much more to “soccer”，as you call it，than goals.There're a lot of strategies involved.And in a tournament like the Euro 2024，it's fascinating to see how the different countries have different styles of playing.

Welcome back to Modern Parenting.We've already talked about being open and honest with your kids，but there is one thing that all good parents do，and it's surprisingly simple：read to your kids.Studies show that children are better prepared for school and tend to get better grades later on if their parents have a habit of reading to them from a young age.One study from Harvard University found that the number of books in the home was the single biggest factor related to success in school，more than the education or income of the parents！Reading is fun，and it can be an important part of relaxing at bedtime.Best of all，it gives parents an opportunity to communicate with their children and teach them about the world.It's never too early to start reading to your children.Many parents buy books for their kids long before they can talk，and some even start reading to their children before they are born！Trips to the library or the bookstore can be fun activities. or young families to do together.So parents，if you're wondering what to do with your kids tonight，remember：all you need is a good book！That's all for Modern Partenting.This is Lesley，on 105.7 FM，saying good night.

第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
Personal money－management website Mint.com suggests recently that responsible parents should give their kids credit cards—possibly starting as young as middle school.The website says a credit card will help children master responsible spending habits and give parents the opportunity to teach them some valuable lessons.
It's absolutely true that kids should learn about how a credit card works and how to use it responsibly.But the idea that they need a card of their own to practice this is questionable.
Yes，credit cards are a teaching tool，but it's the time
you
spend
educating
them
about
money management that does the teaching，not the piece of plastic.Sit down with your child—here we are referring to preteens or teens—and walk them through your credit card statements.Point out important things like the due date，late fee warning，and APR(年贷款利率)．
Provided you have good credit，adding a child as an authorized user onto one of your credit cards also provides teachable moments.An authorized user can use the credit card，but is not legally responsible for paying it.Allow kids to use the card to make specific purchases and require their participation in payment.Since the card is still in your name，you can take them off it at any point and cut off their access if they're not able to handle the responsibility.
Another option is to set them up with an account at a local bank that offers free use of a debit card.The overdraft(透支) function of a debit card，unlike a credit card，is turned off.Children can use the card to pay for things and the money is taken directly from their bank account.If the account is empty，the worst that will happen is the card being declined at a cash register(收银机) rather than charging overdraft fees.A debit card won't help build their credit history but it will give them practice budgeting and managing their money.
With this foundation，when it's time for your child to get a credit card of their own—preferably by the time they're heading to college—they'll be well－equipped to use it responsibly.
【语篇解读】 本文是议论文。文章主要讨论了家长应该对孩子使用信用卡持何态度。
21．For whom is the text mainly written?
A．Students.
B．Businessmen.
C．Parents.
D．Teachers.
答案 C [推理判断题。由第三段中的Sit down with your child和最后一段中的With this foundation，when it's time for your child...可知，本文主要是写给家长们的。]
22．What is the author's attitude towards the suggestion of Mint.com?
A．Curious.
B．Disapproving.
C．Unconcerned.
D．Tolerant.
答案 B [推理判断题。由第一段可知，Mint.com建议家长们让孩子们拥有信用卡，从而成为负责任的信用卡使用者。联系第二段的But the idea...is questionable和第三段的Yes，credit cards...the piece of plastic可知，作者不赞成让孩子们直接拥有信用卡，建议家长们多花时间教给孩子们用卡常识。故选B项。]
23．What is the purpose of adding a child as a credit card authorized user?
A．To avoid extremely high overdraft fees.
B．To help them buy more necessary things.
C．To teach them to be responsible credit card users.
D．To encourage them to share household expenses.
答案 C [推理判断题。第三至五段提供了一些信用卡常识教育方法。联系全文大意可知，这些方法都是为了让孩子们将来成为负责任的信用卡使用者。那么让孩子们成为信用卡特许用户也是出于这个目的。]
B
This day will be remembered in American history, wrote John Adams in 1776.People will honor it with fireworks and celebrations.He was talking about the second of July.That is the day that America got independence from the British.But the date written on the Declaration of Independence is July 4.So, since 1776, Americans have honored July 4 as the country's Independence Day.
Several early U．S.presidents died on July 4.They include John Adams, who became the second U．S.president, even though he made a mistake about the country's most important national holiday.John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, the country's third president, both died on the country's 50th anniversary of Independence Day.James Monroe, the country's fifth president, died on July 4，1831.
Most Americans celebrate Independence Day with barbecues(烧烤晚会), parades and fireworks.But a few celebrate by eating all the hot dogs they can.In 1970, a restaurant called Nathan's Famous has hosted a competition to see who can eat the most hot dogs in a short time.The event is now shown on major sports channels.It includes a women's contest and a men's contest.Both are held in New York City.For the last eight years, a man named Joey Chestnut has won the men's contest.In 2024, he ate 61 hot dogs in 10 minutes.The 2024 women's winner, Miki Sudo, ate 34 hot dogs.
Let's go back to those fireworks, probably the most common image related to Independence Day.Americans really love fireworks.Americans spent $675 million on fireworks last year.Most ordinary people buy about $100 worth.Cities and towns spend between $5，000 and $30，000 to put on a public show.The biggest fireworks show is in New York City.It costs about $2 million.
