41、nbsp; 19. A 20. G【解析】【分析】本文为说明文。去年除夕夜你做了财务决定吗?它们是不是半途而废了？但是今年，你可以在你的财务目标上取得一些进展。作者给人们提供了一些财务决定方面的建议。【16题详解】根据上文Did you make financial decisions last New Years Eve? Did they fall by the wayside?（去年除夕夜你做了财务决定吗?它们是不是半途而废了？）可知，F项“但是今年，你可以在你的财务目标上取得一些进展”符合此处语境。其中F项中的this year与上文中的last
42、New Years Eve相对应。故F选项正确。【17题详解】根据上文If youve taken no other financial steps this year, start by setting a realistic budget.（如果你今年没有采取其他财务措施，那就从制定一个现实的预算开始吧）可知，D项“其他大部分财务状况的改善也将随之而来”符合此处语境。其中D项中的other financial improvements与上文中的other financial steps相对应。故D选项正确。【18题详解】根据本段主旨Control your spending（控制你的消费）
43、及下文you have less to spend so you need to shop harder for bargains and research prices.（把它当作一种心理上的优势你可以花的钱更少，所以你需要更努力地购买便宜货和研究价格）可知，此处在讲购物，因此E项“从小处着手，为购物制定预算”。故E选项正确。【19题详解】根据本段主要讲储蓄及下文Set a smaller savings goal now, and use that to build a larger savings goal for the upcoming year.（现在就设定一个更小的储蓄目标，然后

45、e highest interest rate与上文中的high-interest debt相对应。故G选项正确。【点睛】七选五题型主要考查上下文的理解与推断，虽然文章整体难度一般低于阅读理解，但是却给很多同学造成了很大的心理障碍。七个选项中选五个，比四个选项中选一个，感觉干扰性更大，很大同学在做这个题目时，总有一种眼花缭乱、心烦气躁的感觉，致使往往正确率不高。在这里提醒同学们，首先要克服心理障碍，同时要注意方式方法。其次，注意设空前后的句子，因为这些句子之间是顺承和联系的，所有一定要联系和理解上下文的语境。例如第1小题，根据上文Did you make financial decisions
46、 last New Years Eve? Did they fall by the wayside?（去年除夕夜你做了财务决定吗?它们是不是半途而废了？）可知，F项“但是今年，你可以在你的财务目标上取得一些进展”符合此处语境。其中F项中的this year与上文中的last New Years Eve相对应。故F选项正确。第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分40分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。【2019年春四川省棠湖中学高二第一学月考试英语试题】Ou
