Question

Steven is six years old. He gets some money from his mother every week. He buys a lot of things from the shops, but he doesn’t really need them, and he puts them everywhere. One day his mother gives him a notebook and says, “Now, Steven, when you buy things, write their names down in the notebook, and also write down how much they are. Then you can look at it again when your money is all gone (花光了), and you don’t waste (浪费) so much money next time.”

After a week, Steven says to his mother, “Do you know, Mum, before I spend any money now, I really stop and think!” His mother is very happy and thinks, “Well, my son knows the value (价值) of money now.” But then she hears him say, “Mum, before I buy something, I always ask myself, ‘Can I spell (拼写) that word and put it down in my notebook?’ ”

试题分析：Steven总是爱乱花钱，于是他的妈妈给了他一个笔记本，让他记录自己买的东西和花的钱。一周之后，Steven告诉他的妈妈，他在买东西之前先停下来想想了。他的妈妈以为他知道省钱，不乱花钱了。其实Steven想的是自己会不会写那个词。

1.B细节理解 根据短文中Steven is six years old. He gets some money from his mother every week可知，Steven每周从他的妈妈那里得到一些钱。由此可知选B。

2.C细节理解题。根据短文中One day his mother gives him a notebook and says, “Now, Steven, when you buy things, write their names down in the notebook, and also write down how much they are.可知，Steven的妈妈给了他一个笔记本，让他记录他买的东西，以及所花费的钱数。由此可知应选C。

4.4】D细节理解题。根据短文中“Mum, before I buy something, I always ask myself, ‘Can I spell (拼写) that word and put it down in my notebook?’ ”可知，Steven在买东西之前，都要先想想我会不会拼写那个单词，把它写在笔记本上。因此应选D。
