内容提要：如果应该，那么在小孩几岁的时候教他们理财？用什么形式理财？如果不应该，那么等到孩子多大时教他们理财？用什么形式理财？
D
Organic food, once considered something that only health fanatics desired, is now a regular feature at most supermarkets. And that has created a bit of a dilemma. On the one hand, you have a conventionally grown apple. On the other, you have one that’s organic. Both apples are firm, shiny and red. Both provide vitamins and fiber, and both are free of fat, sodium and cholesterol.
Conventionally grown food generally costs less, but is organic food a better choice? The advantages claimed for such foods over conventionally grown and sold food products are now being debated on a large scale. Supporters of organic foods – a term whose meaning varies greatly – are frequently telling the world that such products are safer and more nutritious than others.
The growing interest of consumers in the safety and nutritional quality of daily foods is a welcome development. However, much of this interest has been aroused by sweeping claims that the conventional food supply is unsafe or inadequate in meeting nutritional needs.
Almost daily, the public is surrounded by claims for “no-aging” diets, new vitamins and other wonder foods. There are numerous unsubstantiated reports that natural vitamins are superior to man-made ones, that fertilized eggs are nutritionally superior to unfertilized eggs, that untreated grains are better than those treated with insect spray and the like.
Although most of these claims are not supported by scientific evidence, large amounts of written material about the benefits of organic foods makes it difficult for people to separate fact from fiction. As a result, claims that eating a diet consisting of organically grown foods prevents or cures disease or provides other benefits to health have become widely advertised and form the basis for people’s opinion.
One thing that most organically grown food products seem to have in common is that they cost more than conventionally grown foods. But in many cases consumers are misled if they believe organic foods can maintain health and provide better nutritional quality than conventionally grown foods. So there is real cause for concern if consumers, particularly those with limited incomes, distrust the conventional food supply and buy only expensive organic foods instead.
41. According to Paragraph 2, which of the following statements about organic food is true?
A. It has no agreed definition.
B. It is popular among producers.
C. It is accepted by most nutritionists.
D. It hasn’t been used until recent years.
42. In Paragraph 4, treated grains are examples of ________.
A. organic food B. conventionally grown food
C. expensive food D. healthier food

A. organic foods are actually less nutritious than conventionally grown foods
B. people cannot separate fact from fiction because of the TV advertisements
C. organic foods cost more but are not necessarily better than conventionally grown foods
D. most doctors believe that organic foods prevent disease or provide other benefits to health
44. According to the passage, many consumers are attracted by organic foods because they _____.
A. have carefully researched the products
B. value food safety and nutrition
C. expect to save some money
D. want to try something new
45. What is the author’s attitude toward the claims of organic foods?
A. Enthusiastic. B. Supportive. C. Uninterested. D. Doubtful.

第二节读写任务（共1小题,满分25分） 阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
Eat your vegetables. Wash your hands. Always say “please” and “thank you”. We are full of advice for our children, but when it comes to money, we often have little to say. As a result, our children may grow up with clean hands and good manners, but without any idea how to manage their money. Here are some basics that will help guide them their entire lives:
Show them the future. If your 13-year-old girl were to save $100, put it in the bank at 8% interest and add $10 every month, by the time she’s 65, she would have $98,098!
Be careful of credit. Credit cards can help you buy necessary things and build a credit history, but they must be used responsibly, which means paying off your debt in time. Explain to your children that when you buy something using a credit card, you can easily end up paying two or three times what you would have paid if you used cash.
Teach patience. Suppose your child wants a new bicycle that costs $150. Rather than you paying the cash, give him some regular pocket money and explain that by putting aside, say, $15 each week, he will be able to buy it for himself in only ten weeks.
Provide encouragement. Tell your children the importance of saving. And for every dollar he or she agrees to save and invest rather than spend, you agree to add another dollar to the pot.

基础写作：
Last Sunday, April 21, all 25 members of our school bicycle club including myself went on a wonderful trip. We gathered at the school gate at 7:45 am, and set off at 8:00. After arriving at the South China Botanic Garden at 9:00 am, we explored the park’s amazing collection of rare and precious plants, which broadened our understanding of nature. Then we spent half an hour riding to the Long Dong Reservoir, where we enjoyed picnic lunch and some fishing. Through these activities, not only did we get closer to the nature and breathe fresh air, but we also strengthened our awareness of the need to protect the environment.
读写任务：
As the author points out, teaching children to save money, keeping responsible credit and being patient when making purchases will help them have a better future.
（1）你认为父母是否应该教小孩理财？为什么？
In my opinion, it is essential for parents to teach children how to manage their money responsibly before they move out of home. Without such knowledge, children will not be able to spend money properly when they grow up and may even get in debt.
（2）如果应该，那么在小孩几岁的时候教他们理财？用什么形式理财？
如果不应该，那么等到孩子多大时教他们理财？用什么形式理财？
I think five to six is an appropriate age to begin teaching children money management skills. Parents may accompany/lead their children to the bank and help them open an account in which they can save their lucky money. This can be used to pay for their schooling, which will help them understand the true value of money.
（3）结合你小时候关于理财的情况来说明你的观点。
This is exactly what my parents asked me to do when I was young and thanks to them I don't waste my money on unnecessary purchase.
