47. How did the author feel in today's money world?
- A. Badly equipped to survive.
- B. Ignorant of financial literature.
- C. Barely capable of moving ahead.
- D. Overwhelmed by the resources online.
答案：A
答案句：I felt that I was sailing the financial seas with no skills and no life jacket!
参考译文：我感觉自己在金融的海洋中航行，既没有技能，也没有救生衣！
定位线索：题干“feel in today's money world”→答案句“I felt that I was sailing the financial seas”；文中“no skills and no life jacket”对应选项A“Badly equipped to survive”。
解析：题干问作者在当今金钱世界中的感受，答案句用比喻“没有技能和救生衣”形容自己缺乏应对能力，与选项A“装备不足难以生存”对应。选项B“对金融文献无知”偷换概念，原文是“financial education”而非“literature”；选项C“几乎无法前进”程度过重，原文强调缺乏工具而非无法行动；选项D“被在线资源淹没”无中生有，原文提到资源多但未说被淹没。
49. What is the author's idea of a financial education course?
- A. It should foresee students' needs after graduation.
- B. It should provide students with some basic knowledge.
- C. It should be taught the same way as English is taught.
- D. It should be integrated into high school education.
答案：D
答案句：A financial education subject should do just the same. It shouldn't be just a one-day event but a course integrated throughout the whole of high school that would allow students to gradually expand their financial literacy, and would prevent the need for a 'catch up' phase once we're out on our own after graduation.
参考译文：金融教育课程也应该如此。它不应该只是一天的活动，而应该是一门贯穿整个高中的课程，让学生逐步扩展金融素养，并防止我们毕业后独立生活时还需要“追赶”阶段。
定位线索：题干“author's idea of a financial education course”→答案句“a course integrated throughout the whole of high school”；文中“integrated throughout the whole of high school”对应选项D“integrated into high school education”。
解析：题干问作者对金融教育课程的想法，答案句明确说“应该是一门贯穿整个高中的课程”，与选项D“应融入高中教育”直接对应。选项A“应预见学生毕业后的需求”无中生有，原文未提预见需求；选项B“应提供基本知识”不完整，作者强调全程整合而非仅基础；选项C“应以教英语的方式教授”偷换概念，原文只是类比英语课的时间安排，非教学方法。
