2.In Europe,many people make friends between their countries through town twinning.Town or city twinning means two towns in different countries agree and decide to become‘twins'with sister city relationship (關(guān)系).
The people find pen-friends in the twin town.They exchange newspapers and stamps.The school teachers discuss teaching methods (方法) with the teachers in the twin town,too,but not very often if it is far away.
Sometimes,schools even exchange their classes for two or three weeks!For example,German middle school students study for a while at the school in their twin town in Britain,staying with British families.A few months later,their British friends come to study in Germany.
Many British towns are so pleased with the results of the twinning that they set out to find more than one twin town!
Tonbridge,a small town in Kent,for example,has twin towns in both Germany and France.Richmond near London has relationship with Germany,F(xiàn)rance and even a town in a Balkan (巴爾干半島) country!Town twinning can help make friends.It helps students to improve their language skills,and also helps people to understand each other between different nations (國家).

28.Which of the following is NOT talked about in the text?B
A.Twin towns exchange newspapers and stamps.
B.Twin towns exchange business skills.
C.Twin schools exchange classes for some time.
D.People travel to the twin town.

A.between European countries and China
B.in the English-speaking countries only
C.in the same country or rich countries
D.between different European countries
30.One of the advantages of town twinning isC.
A.to earn more money                 
B.to set up schools
C.to improve students'language skills     
D.to develop industry.

分析 文章講述的是歐洲地區(qū)城市之間結(jié)誼的內(nèi)容和相關(guān)的信息,以及城市結(jié)誼帶來的好處.

解答 28.B  細(xì)節(jié)理解題  根據(jù)"They exchange newspapers and stamps"可知,A選項正確;文中并沒有提及結(jié)誼城市改變了商業(yè)技巧;根據(jù)"schools even exchange their classes for two or three weeks"可知,C選項正確;根據(jù)"German middle school students study for a while at the school in their twin town in Britain,staying with British families.A few months later,their British friends come to study in Germany"可知,人們相互拜訪,故D選項正確.答案為B
29.D  推理判斷題  根據(jù)"In Europe,many people make friends between their countries through town twinning"可知,歐洲的人們可以通過結(jié)誼城市結(jié)交朋友.故結(jié)誼城市是在歐洲的一些國家.答案為D
30.C  細(xì)節(jié)理解題  根據(jù)"It helps students to improve their language skills,and also helps people to understand each other between different nations (國家)."可知,結(jié)誼城市可以幫助提高語言技巧,還能幫助人們理解不同國家的特點.只有C選項"提高學(xué)生的語言技巧"符合,故答案為C

點評 做這道題時要先通讀全文,弄清短文大意,然后根據(jù)相關(guān)句子選出正確答案,最后仔細(xì)檢查.

9.Young people are perhaps better-known for spending money than saving it.But some new banking websites are seeking to change that.These websites offer young people the information and tools they need to watch over their money.The websites also let the users share their financial*experiences with other young people.
Nineteen-year-old Alix Scott has been working at a store this summer.She is saving money to pay for college next year."I have to save for all my college money because my parents can't offer me enough.So,I have to depend on my own savings,"She said.But instead of putting her money in a local bank,Ms Scott began using SmartyPig,a web-based banking service.She said,"When I do that,I stop the drive to just spend the money."
Michael Ferrari developed SmartyPig with a friend in 2007.SmartyPig is really all about helping people save for very specific financial goals.So that could be a wedding,a vacation,an I-phone.Mr.Ferrari says SmartyPig opened after he started a college savings account*for his new baby.He says that experience helped him realize the power of saving for a specific goal.Helping other savers pay attention to their goals is the idea behind his online company.
Michael Ferrari said,"For example,I'm saving up for a vacation.I want to save 5,000 dollars.I want to meet this goal in three years.SmartyPig will in fact help you know how much money you need to save every month.You don't have to move from your present bank.We'll actually go in and get those money on the day you refer to every month and we'll put them into your SmartyPig account,where they'll actually increase interest*,as well."
Twenty-two-year-old Khang Nguyen is studying engineering in college.He likes being able to share his saving goals with his online community.He said,"I think it's actually a good thing that they are able to see it.Like,a group of my friends after they found out,you know,about what I do,they always come ask me for financial advice."
