解析
试题分析:简要对比节俭者与挥霍者,同时介绍美国人们开设储蓄账户的多种选择。
小题1:结合“This old saying calls attention to the wisdom of saving money. "Putting money away for a rainy day" is another way to talk about saving for the future.”这句老话呼吁大家重视省钱的智慧。未雨绸缪是一种为将来打算的说法。故应选B。省钱就是赚钱。
小题2:结合“People who hate to spend money are known as "tightwads," while those who like to get the most value for their money are called "thrifty.” A spendthrift is someone who spends wastefully. People like that are often said to spend money "like a drunken sailor" or "like there"s no tomorrow."”舍不得花钱的人被称作吝啬鬼,而使金钱的价值最大化者叫做节俭。败家子是指花钱挥霍者。这类人通常被说成“花钱像喝醉的水手”或“花钱像没有明天一样”。故应选F. 节俭者和败家子可不同。
小题3:结合“In the United States, people who want to start a savings account have different choices of where to put their money.”在美国,人们想要开设储蓄账户有多种不同选择。故应选D。其中包括银行和信用社。
小题4:结合“Certificates of deposit(存款)pay higher returns. With a certificate of deposit, or CD, a person agrees not to withdraw the money for a certain period of time. This term could be anywhere from a few months to several years.”存款证支付更高的回报。使用存款证的人承诺一段时间内不提取存款,期限从几个月到数年不等。故应选E。期限越长,金额越大,支付的利息就越高。
小题5:结合“In a number of countries, people have been saving less over the years. It is reported that in 2000, Americans had a household savings rate of 7%.”多年来,一些国家的人们储蓄得越来越少。据报道2000年,美国家庭储蓄率为7%。故应选G。今年预计略高于4%
