如何判斷戲劇中的人物性格
戲劇常通過人物的語言、動作、神態等生動地刻畫人物的性格。如第6題從劇中亨利的對白“I don't want your charity.I just want a job that earns an honest income.”可以判斷出他是一個誠實的人。

|閱|讀|技|能|提|升| 抓矛盾沖突，發掘主題內涵
戲劇的主要構成元素包括劇名(title of play)、場(scene)、人物(characters)、臺詞(lines of dialogue)和舞臺說明(stage directions)。閱讀戲劇應首先通過舞臺說明把握故事發生的背景信息，然后分析臺詞，把握人物的性格特點、梳理劇情發展脈絡，最終把握故事的矛盾沖突。如本文綜合臺詞內容和舞臺說明可知，這場戲劇主要反映了Oliver和Roderick兩兄弟打賭之間的分歧以及亨利是否接受賭約的心理糾結，并最終被迫接受。
從語言風格來看，戲劇語言尤其注重性格化、情境化。在本文這場戲劇中，作者通過舞臺說明介紹背景，對人物表演給出提示，增強了舞臺氣氛； 通過對話展示了兩個富豪打賭的過程，生動地刻畫了亨利正直、誠實、坦率、要強的性格，體現了金錢在不同人生活中的意義和重要性這一主題。此外，人物的措辭和表達方式也反映了其文化背景和社會地位的不同。
(一)賞用詞之妙　
1．May we ask what you're doing in this country and what your plans are
賞析：May用得恰到好處，對于初次見面的人，要詢問對方問題，特別是較為私人的問題，用may“(表示請求，許可)可以”語氣較為妥帖。
2．I'm afraid I don't quite follow you, sir.
賞析：follow 在本句中的意思是“理解；明白”，是熟詞生義的用法。作者運用該詞形象地描寫了亨利對此事的不理解。
3．I just want a job that earns an honest income.
賞析：honest在此處表明了亨利誠實的性格，他只想找一份踏踏實實掙錢的工作，不想不勞而獲。
①Hello！May I speak to the headmaster
你好！　
②The plot is almost impossible to follow.
　
③It's quite a struggle to make an honest living.
　
　
(二)賞句式之高　
1．They see a poor young man walking outside their house.It is Henry Adams.
賞析：首句使用了“see＋賓語＋賓語補足語(現在分詞短語)”結構，形象生動地描繪出Henry巧合地出現在他們面前，并被選為合適人選的場景。
2．And it was the ship that brought you to England.
賞析：本句中用“it was ...that ...”這一強調句型對上句Henry 所講的話進行強調確認。強調句型的特點是可以強調除謂語以外的句子成分，通常是主語、賓語或狀語，而且去掉it is/was ...that/who ...后，句子的結構依然完整。恰當運用該句型可以增加文章的亮點。
3．That's why we've given you the letter.
賞析：本句中使用了“That's why ...”句型，其中why引導表語從句。此處具體生動地解釋了Roderick給Henry這封信的原因。此句式屬于高級句式，在文章中巧妙地使用此句式能使文章句式復雜多樣，對要點的表述更加具體、生動、準確和全面，并能突出重點。
4．Well, why don't you explain what this is all about
賞析：本句中使用了what引導的賓語從句，簡潔明了地表達出了Henry想知道真相的迫切心情。恰當運用 what 引導的名詞性從句不僅顯得句式多樣，句子活潑，而且讀起來結構緊湊，言簡意明。
①As we drew closer, I could ____________________________ by a pack of dogs.
當我們走近時，我能看到一只羊正被一群狗攻擊。
②______________________________________ when I was in trouble.
當我遇到麻煩的時候，是張教授幫助我擺脫了困境。
③They believe it is the time when the moon is at its fullest and brightest in the whole year.____________________ people celebrate the festival.
他們相信這是一年中月亮最圓、最亮的時候。那就是人們慶祝這個節日的原因。
④I wonder ____________________________.
我想知道他喜歡讀什么書。
(三)賞描摹之韻　
1．(動作描寫)About a month ago, I was sailing, and towards night I found myself carried out to sea by a strong wind.The next morning I was spotted by a ship.
賞析：本句使用了was sailing, found myself carried out, was spotted等動作將亨利的遭遇簡潔地介紹出來。邏輯清晰，語言凝練。
2．(神情描寫)(The brothers smile at each other.)
(happily) What luck! Brother, what luck!
賞析：舞臺說明性語言是戲劇語言的一部分，通過閱讀說明性語言，讀者可以豐富對劇本的理解，畫面感更強。上面兩句話反映出他們對實現打賭一事的心中的喜悅。
①He smiled, his eyes full of laughter.
他露出了笑容，________________________。
②Aleey became very happy now and a gentle smile spread over her face.
阿利現在變得很開心，__________________________________________。
俗話說：錢不是萬能的，沒有錢也是萬萬不能的。我們既要認識到金錢的價值、金錢的重要性，又不能唯利是圖，金錢至上，搞拜金主義。對于金錢，是花費 spend 、儲存 save 、投資 invest 還是贈送 give ？ 如何理財、如何管理錢財，該怎樣做明智的選擇？下面這篇文章或多或少能給我們一些啟發。

Ⅰ.閱讀理解
A
Last year as I faced my 33rd birthday, it seemed like a good time to sit down and make a list of financial goals.Some were instantly doable, like spending less on food.(Goodbye，$7 organic strawberries.) Others were more ambitious：save enough cash for a down payment on an apartment; build a savings account for fun grown-up stuff like buying last-minute plane tickets to Tahoe.
One problem：These things required more money than I was making.The other problem：In this economy, it wasn't realistic to expect a huge raise.Suddenly, my future started to look like an ever-narrowing tunnel.Without a big increase in cash flow, how was my amazing life supposed to start Obviously, I was doomed.
I loved my job, I loved my boss, but I'd spent my 20 seconds closing up shop at the office every night when I knew I should have been playing harder and taking more risks.I'd built a career I was proud of, but realized I couldn't view a paycheck as my final reward.
Finally, I made a decision.I'd give myself a happiness raise and bring into my life more of the good things that money can't buy (and that I'd been denying myself), and less of the stuff that didn't have much real value.
The first step was to do a serious accounting, calculating where I'd been spending my time and energy and noting how much joy I was netting on a daily basis.The results didn't surprise me：so many have-tos and must-dos, so few moments of real enjoyment.
I set a new rule：Anytime the word “should” flashed across my mind, I hit the brakes.Did I really want to attend this baby shower or join that book club Often I didn't — so I respectfully said no, and found that the world didn't end.
語篇解讀：本文是一篇記敘文。文章講述了作者33歲時反思自己生活的財務分配，發現問題后決定給生活做減法，把更多金錢買不到的好東西帶進自己的生活。
1．Why did the author say goodbye to $7 organic strawberries
A．He was on a diet.
B．He couldn't afford them.
C．He didn't like them any more.
D．He planned to cut down the food expense.
解析：細節理解題。由第一段中的“Some were instantly doable, like spending less on food.(Goodbye，$7 organic strawberries.)”可知，作者對7美元的有機草莓說再見，是因為作者計劃削減食品開支。故選D。
√
2．What was the difficulty with the author's ambitious financial goals
A．He was making little money.
B．It was difficult for him to get promoted.
C．He couldn't save more money for his amazing life.
D．His future seemed like an ever-narrowing tunnel.
√
解析：推理判斷題。由第二段的內容可知，一方面，需要花的錢多于作者能掙的錢；另一方面，作者的工資不太可能會漲，故可推知作者再也攢不出更多的錢來過他那令人驚嘆的生活了，這是作者要實現雄心勃勃的財務目標面對的困難。故選C。
3．According to the text, which can give the author more happiness
A．Joining a book club.
B．Attending a baby shower.
C．Buying last-minute plane tickets.
D．Spending the weekends with his loved family.
√
解析：推理判斷題。由第四段中的“I'd give myself a happiness raise and bring into ...less of the stuff that didn't have much real value”和最后一段中的“Did I really want to ...I respectfully said no, and found that the world didn't end”可知，作者要把更多金錢買不到的好東西帶進自己的生活，D項是金錢買不到的幸福，A項和B項是作者會拒絕的行動，C項沒有太多真正價值，不符合作者提升幸福的想法。故選D。
4．What can we infer from the text
A．Birthday is a good time to set a goal.
B．We need to learn to say no to something.
C．The author celebrated his birthday by making financial goals.
D．The author decided to make more money for his amazing life.
√
解析：推理判斷題。由第四段中的“I'd give myself a happiness raise and bring into ...less of the stuff that didn't have much real value”和最后一段可知，作者想讓自己更幸福，并將少做一些沒有真正價值的事，所以作者開始說“不”，由此可得出，要想生活幸福，就要學會對生活中不必要的事情說“不”。故選B。
B
Andrew White brings his four-legged friends Oliver and Amore to his neighborhood Petco pet stores in San Diego for a little takeout.He has brought the pair to a kibble refill station (寵物食品補給站) that allows owners to use their own containers (容器)．
“It's more affordable for everyone，” he said.
Like the price of many things these days, the price of owning a pet has been increasing.A report on petfoodindustry.com finds the cost of feeding household animals was up about 6% in March over last year.The overall pet category saw a 7.5% increase compared to last March.The American Pet Products Association says a record $123.6 billion was spent in the US last year on pets.A survey shows 70% of American families now include a pet of some kind.
In Kansas City, the KC Pet Project is seeing animals surrendered because of their owners' money problems.“It is sad to see a number of pets coming in through our doors，” said KC Pet Project Chief Communications Officer Tori Fugate.“People are calling us every week saying, ‘I don't want to leave my animal, but I can't find a place to live with it.’”
One big cost is vet (獸醫) care.The KC Pet Project gave out more than $96,000 last year to help owners with medical bills.Recent findings from Consumers' Checkbook show costs differed widely from vet to vet in seven cities they listed.So they say if pet owners want to save money, do some checking first.“If you know that your pets are going to need certain treatment, you can call around and get prices, and then decide what to do next，” said Consumers' Checkbook Executive Editor Kevin Brasler.
In Florida, the Humane Society of Tampa Bay has increased its animal pantries (食品儲藏室), so people can get free food for their dogs and cats.
“I believe things will get better，” said Sherry Silk, CEO of the Humane Society of Tampa Bay.“It's got to get better because the animals really need us.”
語篇解讀：本文是一篇新聞報道，主要講的是養寵物的費用在上漲這個現象。
5．What do the numbers in paragraph 3 mainly show
A．Keeping pets is still popular in the US.
B．The costs for pets are rising in the US.
C．Most Americans have difficulty keeping pets.
D．Many Americans are careful about having pets.
√
解析：推理判斷題。根據第三段中的“Like the price of many things these days ... $123.6 billion was spent in the US last year on pets.”可知，第三段中的數字主要說明了在美國，養寵物的費用正在上升。
6．What does the underlined word “surrendered” in paragraph 4 mean
A．Hunted for.　　　 B．Looked over.
C．Given up. D．Handed out.
√
解析：詞義猜測題。根據第四段中的“because of their owners' money problems”和“It is sad to see a number of pets coming in through our doors”可知，畫線詞所在句子表示“在堪薩斯城，KC寵物項目看到一些動物因為主人的經濟問題而被遺棄”。畫線詞surrendered的意思是“遺棄”，和given up意思相近。
7．What can pet owners do to treat their pets according to Kevin
A．Ask for medical prices first.
B．Choose a big local pet hospital.
C．Call the KC Pet Project for help.
D．Get different vets to examine them.
√
解析：細節理解題。根據倒數第三段中的“‘If you know that your pets are ... next，’ said Consumers' Checkbook Executive Editor Kevin Brasler.”可知，根據凱文的說法，寵物主人可以首先詢問醫療價格。
8．What is Sherry's attitude to pets' future

A
Last year as I faced my 33rd birthday, it seemed like a good time to sit down and make a list of financial goals.Some were instantly doable, like spending less on food.(Goodbye，$7 organic strawberries.) Others were more ambitious：save enough cash for a down payment on an apartment; build a savings account for fun grown up stuff like buying last minute plane tickets to Tahoe.
One problem：These things required more money than I was making.The other problem：In this economy, it wasn't realistic to expect a huge raise.Suddenly, my future started to look like an ever narrowing tunnel.Without a big increase in cash flow, how was my amazing life supposed to start Obviously, I was doomed.
I loved my job, I loved my boss, but I'd spent my 20 seconds closing up shop at the office every night when I knew I should have been playing harder and taking more risks.I'd built a career I was proud of, but realized I couldn't view a paycheck as my final reward.
Finally, I made a decision.I'd give myself a happiness raise and bring into my life more of the good things that money can't buy (and that I'd been denying myself), and less of the stuff that didn't have much real value.
The first step was to do a serious accounting, calculating where I'd been spending my time and energy and noting how much joy I was netting on a daily basis.The results didn't surprise me：so many have tos and must dos, so few moments of real enjoyment.
I set a new rule：Anytime the word “should” flashed across my mind, I hit the brakes.Did I really want to attend this baby shower or join that book club Often I didn't — so I respectfully said no, and found that the world didn't end.

One big cost is vet (獸醫) care.The KC Pet Project gave out more than D|S96,000 last year to help owners with medical bills.Recent findings from Consumers' Checkbook show costs differed widely from vet to vet in seven cities they listed.So they say if pet owners want to save money, do some checking first.“If you know that your pets are going to need certain treatment, you can call around and get prices, and then decide what to do next，” said Consumers' Checkbook Executive Editor Kevin Brasler.
In Florida, the Humane Society of Tampa Bay has increased its animal pantries (食品儲藏室), so people can get free food for their dogs and cats.

UNIT 5　課時檢測(二)
Ⅰ.閱讀理解
[A]
語篇解讀：本文是一篇記敘文。文章講述了作者33歲時反思自己生活的財務分配，發現問題后決定給生活做減法，把更多金錢買不到的好東西帶進自己的生活。
1．選D　細節理解題。由第一段中的“Some were instantly doable, like spending less on food.(Goodbye，$7 organic strawberries.)”可知，作者對7美元的有機草莓說再見，是因為作者計劃削減食品開支。故選D。
2．選C　推理判斷題。由第二段的內容可知，一方面，需要花的錢多于作者能掙的錢；另一方面，作者的工資不太可能會漲，故可推知作者再也攢不出更多的錢來過他那令人驚嘆的生活了，這是作者要實現雄心勃勃的財務目標面對的困難。故選C。
3．選D　推理判斷題。由第四段中的“I'd give myself a happiness raise and bring into ...less of the stuff that didn't have much real value”和最后一段中的“Did I really want to ...I respectfully said no, and found that the world didn't end”可知，作者要把更多金錢買不到的好東西帶進自己的生活，D項是金錢買不到的幸福，A項和B項是作者會拒絕的行動，C項沒有太多真正價值，不符合作者提升幸福的想法。故選D。
4．選B　推理判斷題。由第四段中的“I'd give myself a happiness raise and bring into ...less of the stuff that didn't have much real value”和最后一段可知，作者想讓自己更幸福，并將少做一些沒有真正價值的事，所以作者開始說“不”，由此可得出，要想生活幸福，就要學會對生活中不必要的事情說“不”。故選B。
[B]
語篇解讀：本文是一篇新聞報道，主要講的是養寵物的費用在上漲這個現象。

6．選C　詞義猜測題。根據第四段中的“because of their owners' money problems”和“It is sad to see a number of pets coming in through our doors”可知，畫線詞所在句子表示“在堪薩斯城，KC寵物項目看到一些動物因為主人的經濟問題而被遺棄”。畫線詞surrendered的意思是“遺棄”，和given up意思相近。
7．選A　細節理解題。根據倒數第三段中的“‘If you know that your pets are ... next，’ said Consumers' Checkbook Executive Editor Kevin Brasler.”可知，根據凱文的說法，寵物主人可以首先詢問醫療價格。
