46—50BCDBA

51—55BCADD解析：不犯错误的人往往也是无所作为的人。多年以后，“我”才有勇气承认早年犯的错误，如：不会理财，拒绝他人帮助。36.C。可知人们在犯了错误的时候多是没有“勇气”承认自己的错误，和courage;power“权力，势力”；courage“勇气”；chance“机会”。37.B。除了自己犯的那些错误，还有一点就是自己学到的一些看法或者做法是不对的；otherwise“否则”；also“而且，此外”；instead“相反”；however“然而”。38.D。根据末段内容以及作者的语气判断父母教给他的一些处事原则是不对的。39.A。besupposedtodo“应该做”；这里指作者小时候认为，只要有了钱，就应该快点花掉，去买一些让自己高兴的东西；bedeterminedtodo“决定做某事”；beorderedtodo“被命令做”；belefttodo“被留下做”，都不合题意，因此选择supposed。40.B。根据本段中的quickjoy可知作者想要表达的是“有了钱就去买东西，从而让自己迅速地获得幸福”。41.A。把钱存在银行，因此不能让你立刻去“购买”幸福，因此选择buy。42.C。根据Istillhadthatmoney可知，把钱存在银行里，没有把它都花掉，因此心里会有一种安全感。43.C。根据后面的内容，作者所得到的钱都被父母存起来最终用于餐桌食物等方面的“风险基金”了，可判断作者没有机会“管理”自己的钱，用manage;根据下文，“mygiftmoney”,可排除receive“收到”；lend“借给”；earn“赚”。44.B。sthgotosb.“某物由某人得到”；give“给予”，leave“留下”，在此处都应用被动形式。45.D。父母名义上为作者存着钱，但是这些钱最终都成了紧急救济款，用在别处上了；turnouttobe“结果是，最终是”；addup“加起来”；giveout“用完，耗尽”；comeup“出现，被提出”。46.B。在极少数情况下，一些亲戚会给作者一些钱；on…occasion“在……场合下”；state“状态”；situation“形势”；moment“时刻”。47.C。根据后面的inmyearnottotell…可知她们是偷偷给作者钱，所以在他的耳边“低语”，让他不要告诉他的妈妈，并且赶紧把这笔钱花掉；whisper“低语，窃窃私语”。48.D。她们的“意图”是好的，想让作者高兴，用intention;plan“计划”；information“信息”；look“表情”，不合题意。49.B。根据上文可知作者自己手里没有钱，由第二段开头也可知，作者是个“穷孩子”。50.A。本文讲述的是理财的经历，因此此处用financial“金融的”。Imaginative“富有想象力的”；popular“流行的”，formal“正式的”，和本文内容不符。51.B。根据本段末句可得提示，此处说“从别人那里获得帮助”。52.C。根据Myparentswerestrictandinmanyways…中的and判断父母的处事原则；and连接并列含义的词，因此作者不会是对父母的处事原则表示反对或者忽略；选项D中agree后不能直接跟宾语。53.A。即便我们有时穷得只靠打工的钱生活，我们也决不接济生活。54.D。askfor“要某物”。55.D。intimesof“在……时候”；这里指因为父母的影响使得作者认为即使是在最困难的时候接受别人的帮助也是一种软弱的表现。11.Stevenhasalotofworkto_______intheofficesincehehasbeenawayforquiteafewdays.A．takeupB．makeupC．workoutD．carryout答案：B解析：makeup意为“弥补，虚构，整理，编辑，化妆”；takeup意为“拿起，开始从事，继续，吸收”；workout意为“计算出，设计出，有预期结果”；carryout意为“完成，实现，贯彻，执行”。12.Ihadfinishedmyhomeworkand______watchtheOlympicswhenthepowerwascutoff.答案：B13.—Youwerebraveenoughtoraiseobjectionsatthemeeting.
