解析

试题分析:这篇短文讲述的是Betty会想各种方法来省钱,Betty和George想买车,他们应该是需要花钱,Betty没有工作,要用其他方法来节约钱。
小题1:考查名词及语境的理解。句意:Betty没有工作,所以她总是找各种各样的办法来节约钱。work 工作,是一个不可数名词。这里的空前有不定冠词a,故这个选项不对;job 工作,是可数名词;child 孩子;house房子。根据文意可知,Betty和George想买车,他们应该是需要花钱,所以这里应该是说Betty没有工作,要用其他方法来节约钱。孩子和房子都跟这件事情没有关系。故选B。
小题2:考查动词及语境的理解。句意:她给George做三明治,让他带着去上班,这样他就不用买午饭了。make 制作;eat 吃;have 吃,喝;buy 买。根据上句话我们可以知道,Betty亲自制作三明治给George,让他带着去上班,这样午饭George就可以吃三明治,就不用再买午饭吃了,这样就可以节约钱。故应选D。
小题3:考查连词及语境的理解。句意:路程并不长,但是公共汽车很慢。or 或者,表示选择;and 和,表示连接;but 但是,表示转折;so因此,表示因果。根据句意可知,这里是转折的关系,从公司回家的路并不长,但是公共汽车很慢,所以George每天很晚回家。
小题4:考查形容词及语境的理解。句意:有一天,交通比平常更糟糕了。选项中是四个比较级的形式,larger 更大的;bigger 更大的;worse 更糟糕的,是bad 的比较级;better更好的,是good 的比较级。根据上文可知,George每天坐公共汽车回家要花很长时间,因为公共汽车很慢。这一次,公共汽车比平时更慢了。故选C,更糟糕了。
小题5:考查连词及语境的理解。句意:第二天下班后,他决定试一试。after在…之后;before 在…之前;since 自从…;until直到…才。承接上文的意思,George觉得坐公共汽车回家很慢,他跑步都能比它更快。所以,这次下班后,他决定试一试,看是否能比公共汽车还快。故选A。
小题6:考查动词及语境的理解。句意:他跑到了公共汽车站,但是没有上车。get off 下车;get on 上车;come up with 追上,赶上;stop 停止。根据文意可知,George想试一试,看是否跑得比公共汽车还要快。所以他来到公共汽车站,但是不上车。故选B。
小题7:考查形容词及语境的理解。句意:他在公共汽车旁边的人行道上跑。他必须跑得很快才能赶上公共汽车。most 大多数,大部分;much 很多,修饰不可数名词;more 更多的,是一个比较级;quite相当,很,是一个副词,修饰形容词。根据句意可知选D。
小题8:考查形容词及语境的理解。句意:他回到了家。Betty非常吃惊的看到他气喘吁吁。excited 兴奋的,激动的;surprised 吃惊的,惊奇的;interested 有趣的;bored无聊的。根据文章的意思可知,George平时都是坐公共汽车回家的,但这一次他是跑回来的,Betty并不知道,所以Betty很吃惊看到他气喘吁吁的回来了。故选B。
小题9:考查介词及语境的理解。句意:没有付车费,我省了两美元五十美分。for 因为,为了;no 没有,是一个形容词,修饰名词;without 介词,没有;instead副词,代替。根据文意可知,George没有坐公共汽车,所以就不用买车票,故而省下了2美元50美分。故选C。
小题10:考查疑问词及语境的理解。句意:你为什么不在出租车旁边跑,这样你就能省下6美元了。Betty说。when 什么时候;what 什么;why 为什么;where在哪里。文章的开头已经告诉了我们Betty会想各种方法来省钱,所以这里Betty觉得,如果George跟在出租车旁边跑而省下打出租车的费用的话,他就可以省6美元了。故选C。
