Question

We wanted to study how students at our school spend money. In order to study this, we made some questions to ask our classmates. First, we asked our classmates how much money they spent in one month. Then we asked how much money they spent on things like drinks, music, books, movies, computer games, and other things. Our math teacher helped us make a graph of our classmates’ answers.
Then we thought it would be interesting to compare these answers with our classmates’ expenses from last year. We used their answers to make another graph for their expenses last year.
Looking at the two graphs, it is easy to compare the expenses for the two years. Some of their expenses increased, but others decreased. This was a very interesting project for us.

Answer 1

小題1:C
小題2:D
小題3:A
小題4:A
小題5:A

1. Ｃ　由圖可以看出第一項Drinks and snacks的長度最長比例最大，故選Ｃ。
2. Ｄ　本題問的是比例一樣大的。很明顯今年和去年持平的是交通方式14%，故選Ｄ。
3. Ａ　此題是猜詞，由上句Some of their expenses increased(有的消費增加了)，可知下句說的是有些消費減少了，是個反義詞，故選Ａ。
4. Ａ　本題問的是去年持平的項目，看白線。不難看出是Books& Others，都是9%，故選Ａ。
5. Ａ　看圖中的黑色線，是others最少只占4%，故Ａ錯選Ａ。
