When she opened it, he said, “ I found your purse,” and handed it to her.
“Thank you very much,” she said. She opened her purse and took out all the money. She wanted to give the boy a small reward,   51  there were only bills of $20 in the purse and she thought that $ 20 was too   52  to give the boy. “ I’m sorry,” she said, “ but I don’t have any small    53  to give you.”
The boy said, “That’s all right,” and he went away.
A few days later he found   54  woman’s purse. It also had her driving license in it, so he knew where she lived. He went to her house and said “ I found your purse,” and handed it to her.
“Thank you very much, “ she said. She opened her purse and took out all her money.
“That’s   55   ” , she said, “ Before I lost my purse I had a $100 bill and a $20 bill in it. Now I have a $100 bill, a $10 bill and two $5 bills.”
“Yes,” the boy said, and smiled.

解析
【主旨大意】这篇短文主要是讲小男孩两次拾到钱包,归还给主人时,发生的一些有趣的故事。
小题1:B 根据spend …(in) doing sth. 花费时间(或)金钱做某事, find “找到,寻找”意思。
小题1:A 考查定语从句,先行词是人,故引导词用who。
小题1:C  there be 中的be动词由后面的主语单复数形式决定的,即some money 为不可数名词,“一些钱”,整篇故事用的过去式,故用was。
小题1:B 根据下文“能找到她的住址,可确定名字和地址都印在驾照上。
小题1:B  knock on “敲门”,break into “破门而入”,故B正确。
小题1: B 根据下文“I’m sorry”可知,“她没有给小男孩报酬”,所以用转折连词but。
小题1:C 根据句意可知,“要给男孩$20,感觉有点太多”,所以too much正确。
小题1: A 根据句意可知“他没有零钱给这个孩子”,故选change “零钱”。

小题1: C 根据下文可知,“钱包里钱数没少,但是钱的面值有所变化”,所以她感到奇怪,故C正确。

Many years before the United States was founded(建立), Americans had already invented barbecues. But the first barbecues, in fact ,were the invention of the Taino Indians of Haiti, who dried their meat on raised frames(架子)of sticks over fires. Spanish explorers spelled the Taino word as barbacoa, and as time passed, English settlers along the Atlantic coat had their own barbecues.
One summer day in 1773, Benjamin Lynde, a citizen of Massachusetts, wrote in his diary, “Fair and hot ; Browne;hack overset.” That is , on a bright and hot day he went to the Brownes to attedn a barbecue, and his carriage(马车)fell over. It shows that the barbecue had its social occasion by that time. Large animals would be roasted whole on frames over hot fires, and neighbours would be invited to dinner.
In later centuries, as settlers moved to the west, the barbecue went along with it, reaching an especially large size in Texas, where a pit (坑)for fuels(燃料) such as tree branches might be over ten feet deep. Today , the barbecue grills(烧烤架)which are fueled by charcoal(木炭) or electricity are likely to be small and easy to move , and can cook only parts of an animal at a time, but people still have barbecues out of doors and always invite their neighbours or friends over.
小题1:Who invented the barbecues first in history?
A.American people.B.Taino Indians.C.Spanish explorers.D.English settlers.
小题2:The second paragraph mainly tells us that the barbecue_______________.
A.is only held on a hot sunny dayB.welcomes people who keep diaries
C.is held both indoors and outdoorsD.has its social occasion for over 200 years
小题3:The underlined expression “ social occasion” can be best translated into______________.
A.社交功能B.社会福利C.社会地位D.社会背景
小题4:The following are all the barbecue ways    EXCEPT __________________.
A.drying meat on raised frames of sticks over fires
B.roasting a whole animal over a pit full of burning tree branches
C.cooking parts of animals over fires on grills fueled by charcoal
D.heating meat in the bright and hot daylight
