One night, security guard Aina found a wallet that had been left behind in a shopping cart at the grocery store where he works.
Instead of leaving it in the lost and found, the 22-year-old returned the wallet to the total stranger at her home! While that is impressive of itself, what's even more amazing is that he had to ride his bike for over 3 miles to get there because he didn't have a car.
Aina was able to return the wallet to Chloe, who had forgotten the important item while trying to load her baby and groceries into the car. She couldn't believe Aina's thoughtfulness, so after he left her home, Chloe's husband, Gray, turned to Facebook to give the security guard some praise.
“He rode his bicycle to return her wallet—completely full of everything important to her, including cash. Nothing was more moving,” Gray explained. “Words cannot do this gentleman justice. He truly is what is right in this world.” From there, the power of social media took over! Gray's post spread quickly for all the right reasons, which gave his business partner, Greg Gaudet, the idea of starting a GoFundMe campaign to buy Aina a new car! In just two weeks, they had raised over $25,000—enough to buy Aina a 2017 VW Jetta and cover his insurance and gas costs of 6 to 12 months!
Aina was completely blown away by the surprise! After all, this was never what he intended when he rode so far to return Chloe's wallet. “I have lost stuff before too,” he said. “I would greatly want someone to come forward and do the same if I lost something”.
4.Where did Aina find Chloe's wallet
A.In Aina's car.
B.At Aina's home.
C.Outside the grocery store.
D.In a cart of the grocery store.
5.How did Aina return Chloe's wallet
A.On foot. B.By bus.
C.By bike. D.By car.
6.Why did Greg Gaudet start a GoFundMe campaign to buy Aina a new car
A.He was moved by Aina's behavior.
B.Chloe's wallet was very important.
C.Gray asked Greg Gaudet to help Aina.
D.He wanted to attract people's attention.
7.Which words can be used to describe Aina
A.Honest and caring.
B.Determined and brave.
C.Generous and hopeful.
D.Stubborn and courageous.
C
Nowadays, more stores and restaurants are not accepting cash as a means of payment. Instead, customers must pay with a credit card, or by smartphone apps.
Many business owners say that being cashless has helped them streamline the way their businesses run. Staff members don't have to think about having enough money in the cash register to give change or taking bills and coins to the bank.
However, according to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, more than 8 million households in the United States don't have bank accounts. Also, many people, including kids, don't meet the requirements for a credit card.
“A cashless economy is not an inclusive economy. There are consumers who can't get a credit card because of low income. When stores refuse to accept cash, they exclude low-income or homeless people,” says Tazra Mitchell, policy director at the DC Fiscal Policy Institute.
Plus people who do have credit cards might prefer to pay in cash. “Cash is used by almost eight in ten people in the US every month. That's more than the percentage of any other payment type,” says Nick Bourke, director of the Pew Charitable Trusts' consumer finance project.
Lawmakers in several places have taken steps to ban cashless stores. A handful of major cities—including New York City and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania—have already passed laws to address the problem. In San Francisco, California, a law banning cashless stores was passed last May. It says most stores in the city must allow customers to pay in cash. Derek Remski helped make the San Francisco law. Remski says, “It's about understanding that not everyone has equal access to things.”
8.What does the underlined word “streamline” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A.Record.
B.Understand.
C.Redevelop.
D.Simplify.
9.What does Tazra Mitchell think of a cashless economy
A.It is unfair to some people.
B.It is enjoyed by bank workers.
C.It is advantageous to customers.
D.It is the result of the marketplace.
10.What can we learn from Paragraph 5
A.Cash payment is still very popular with consumers.
B.Cashless stores will be driven out of the market.
C.Stores should allow more than one payment type.
D.Paying with credit cards has its own disadvantages.
11.What is some cities' attitude towards going cashless
A.They encourage it.
B.They fight it.
C.They care little about it.
D.They are hopeful about it.
D
A night at the movies is always a good idea. But when you leave the theater and realize you just dropped $45 on a ticket and some snacks, you'll wish you had been patient enough to wait until the movie came out on Netflix. The average movie ticket price in the United States in 2000 was $5.39; now, a ticket is over $9.
The main reason that movie tickets have got so expensive is because of inflation(通货膨胀). It was actually more expensive to go to the movies in the 70s than it is now. A ticket in 1978 cost $2.34. If you enter that into an inflation calculator, the same ticket would cost you $9.46 today. According to the National Association of Theater Owners, the average cost of a ticket today is $9.11.
Another reason why you need to spend some of your life savings seeing a movie on the big screen is that theaters are competing with streaming services that produce their own films, such as Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon. And let's be honest, sitting at home on your sofa or bed is more comfortable than sitting in a cold theater.
Because of streaming technology, theaters have to do something to bring in customers. Attractions—including alcohol, reclining seats(躺椅), surround sound, and 3-D movies—are all examples of that. And those upgrades come at a price, leading to more expensive tickets.
“There's all that extra cost, and it's really important for theater owners and companies to make that experience as enjoyable as possible,” Patrick Corcoran, vice president of the National Association of Theater Owners told Marketplace. “Because you're offering a superb experience—audience expectations are for the latest and greatest technology. Audiences are willing to pay more for a particular experience.”
12.According to the passage, what makes movie tickets so expensive
A.The viewers are wealthier than before.
B.The movie theaters offer popcorn and alcohol for free.
C.Inflation has made the ticket price appear higher than before.
D.The popular movies with famous stars deserve the high price.
13.What can we learn from the passage
A.Netflix is always a better choice for movie viewers than theaters.
B.With comfortable seats, theaters are more attractive than streaming services.
C.The viewers actually pay more for the upgrades of the movie theaters.
D.The theater owners and companies update the theaters to make them popular.
14.Which of the following would Patrick Corcoran most probably agree with
A.It's unwise for viewers to pay so much to watch a movie in the theater.
B.The high price of a movie ticket is supposed to agree with a wonderful experience.
C.It's a waste of money to provide the latest technology in the theater.
D.The viewers would prefer to sit at home on the sofa or bed.
15.What is the best title for the text
A.Behind the Increasing Price of Movie Tickets
B.Technological Improvement on Movie Theaters
C.The Competition Between Movie Theaters and Streaming Services
D.How to Save the Viewers' Wallets
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Don't be too concerned about money, because all it will do is distract you from achieving happiness. And the irony(具有讽刺意味的事) is that people think they will be happy when they have money. 16 . If you are happy and you have money, you can use it for happiness. If you are unhappy and you have money, you will use that money for more unhappiness. Money is simply a neutral force.
Don't misunderstand me: 17 . I am not against anything. Money is a means. Your money will enhance your pattern, whether it is good or bad.
18 . They are ready, at any moment, to change their patterns and to change their ways, if more money is available somewhere else.
Once the money is there, then suddenly you are no longer yourself; you are ready to change.
This is the way of the worldly man. Remember, I don't call a person worldly because he or she has money. 19 . This applies to people with no money as well—they may simply be poor. Just being poor does not equal to lacking spirit;and just being rich does not equal to being a materialist. The materialistic pattern of life is one in which money predominates(占主导地位) over everything.
The non-materialistic life is one in which money is just a means;happiness predominates;joy predominates;your own individuality predominates. 20 , and you are not distracted.
Then suddenly you will see your life has a meaningful quality.
A.I am not against money
B.However, money has nothing to do with happiness
C.So they attach great importance to money
D.You know who you are and where you are going
E.Money brings great joy for people who pursue it
F.I call them worldly if they change their motives for money
G.But people keep looking for money as if money would bring happiness
16. 17. 18. 19. 20.

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was invited to a cookout on an old friend's farm in western Washington. I parked my car outside the farm and walked past a milking house which had apparently not been used for many years. A noise at a window caught my attention, so I entered it. It was a hummingbird(蜂鸟), desperately trying to escape. She was caught in spider's webs(蜘蛛网) and was barely able to move her wings. She ceased her struggle the instant I picked her up.
With the bird in my cupped hands, I looked around to see how she had got in. The broken window glass was the likely answer. I stuffed a piece of cloth into the hole and took her outside, closing the door securely behind me.
When I opened my hands, the bird did not fly away; she sat looking at me with her bright eyes. I removed the sticky spider's webs that covered her head and wings. Still, she made no attempt to fly. Perhaps she had been struggling against the window too long and was too tired Or too thirsty
As I carried her up the blackberry-lined path toward my car where I kept a water bottle, she began to move. I stopped, and she soon took wing but did not immediately fly away. Hovering(盘旋), she approached within six inches of my face. For a very long moment, this tiny creature looked into my eyes, turning her head from side to side. Then she flew quickly out of sight.
During the cookout, I told my hosts about the hummingbird incident. They promised to fix the window. As I was departing, my friends walked me to my car. I was standing by the car when a hummingbird flew to the center of our group and began hovering. She turned from person to person until she came to me. She again looked directly into my eyes, then let out a squeak and was gone. For a moment, all were speechless. Then someone said, “She must have come to say goodbye.”
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
A few weeks later,I went to the farm again.
Paragraph 2:
I was just about to leave when the hummingbird appeared.

B
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。保安 Aina 在他工作的杂货店发现了一个落在手推车里的钱包,他骑自行车去归还钱包。失主的丈夫在网上称赞了他,人们集资为 Aina 买了辆小汽车。
4.D 细节理解题。根据第一段可知,一天晚上,保安 Aina 在他工作的杂货店发现了一个落在手推车里的钱包,故选D。
5.C 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可知Aina骑自行车骑了三英里多去归还钱包,故选C。
6.A 推理判断题。根据第三、四段可知,Aina的行为被Chloe和她的丈夫Gray感激和赞扬,因此被发布到脸书上。Gray 的帖子迅速传播开来,这让他的商业伙伴 Greg Gaudet 萌生了发起GoFundMe活动为 Aina筹钱买辆小汽车的想法,所以是Aina的行为感动了Greg Gaudet,促使他发起 GoFundMe活动为 Aina筹钱买了辆小汽车,故选A。
7.A 推理判断题。根据第二段Aina的主要事迹“22岁的他没有把钱包丢在失物招领处,而是把它送到一个完全陌生的人的家里”可推断他拾金不昧、主动送还,具有诚实的品质;根据第三段第二句中的“她对Aina的体贴感到难以置信”可知Aina是体贴人的,因此A项“诚实的和体贴人的”符合题意。故选A。
C
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如今的无现金化这一社会现象。
8.D 词义猜测题。根据画线词下文可知,工作人员不用考虑现金出纳机里有足够的钱来找零,也不用考虑把钞票和硬币拿到银行,说明无现金化帮助他们简化了经营方式,提升了效率。D项“简化”与画线词意思接近,故选D。
9.A 推理判断题。根据第四段Tazra Mitchell说的话“无现金经济不是包容性经济。有些消费者因为收入低而拿不到信用卡。当商店拒绝接受现金时,他们就将低收入者或无家可归者排除在外了”可知,Tazra Mitchell认为无现金经济对某些人是不公平的,故选 A 。
10.A 细节理解题。根据第五段第二句“在美国,每10个人中就有差不多8个人每月使用现金”可知,现金支付仍然很受消费者欢迎,故选A。
11.B 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,一些地方的立法者已经采取了措施禁止无现金商店,几个大城市已经通过了法律来解决这个问题。由此可知,一些城市对无现金化持反对态度。故选B。
D
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国平均电影票价上涨背后的原因。
12.C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The main reason that movie tickets have got so expensive is because of inflation.”可知,电影票价格飙升主要是因为通货膨胀。故选C。
13.C 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段最后一句“And those upgrades come at a price, leading to more expensive tickets.”可知,那些升级是有代价的,导致票价更高,也就是说观众实际上为电影院的升级支付了更多的费用。故选C。
14.B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Because you're offering a superb...for a particular experience.”可知,Patrick Corcoran认为因为你提供了卓越的体验——观众期待的是最新最棒的技术。观众愿意为独特的观影体验花更多的钱,由此可推断B项“电影票的高价应该与美妙的体验相一致”是Patrick Corcoran最有可能同意的观点。故选B。
15.A 主旨大意题。第一段中提到了美国平均电影票价上涨,后面段落介绍了电影票价上涨的主要原因。因此,A项“电影票价上涨的背后”最适合作为本文的标题。故选A。
第二节
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇议论文。作者分享了自己对金钱的看法,认为不应该太在意金钱,金钱只是一种手段,人们不该为之迷失自我。
16.B 根据上一句可知具有讽刺意味的事情是,人们认为有钱就会幸福;根据本段最后一句可知金钱只是一种中性的东西。所以B项“然而,金钱与幸福没有关系”符合语境。故选B。
17.A 根据下文“I am not against anything.”可知作者不反对任何东西,A项“我并不反对金钱”与下文联系紧密,符合语境。故选A。
18.G 根据下文可知,如果在其他地方可以获得更多的钱,他们会随时准备改变自己的方式。由此可知,G项“但是人们一直在寻找金钱,好像金钱能带来幸福”符合语境。故选G。
19.F 上文提到“记住,我不会因为他或她有钱而称一个人世俗”,F项“如果他们为了金钱而改变动机,我称他们世俗”是在说明作者认为世俗的人是什么样子的,与上文联系紧密,符合语境。故选F。
20.D 根据上文可知,在非物质享乐主义的生活中,金钱只是一种手段;幸福占主导地位;快乐占主导地位;你自己的个性占主导地位。D项“你知道你是谁,要去哪里”与上文是顺承的关系,让幸福、快乐、自己的个性占主导地位,我们才更清楚自己是谁,要去哪里;并且D项“你才不会分心”与下文是顺承的关系,知道自己是谁,要去哪里之后我们才不会分心。所以D项符合语境,故选D。
第二部分 语言运用
第一节
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者的家庭无法支付学费,但作者没有轻言放弃,积极争取奖学金,努力赚取学费,最终成功入学。
21.D 本题可以和第22题一起解出,我们可以先看第22题。根据“it seemed as though we had always 22 to make ends meet”可知,作者他们家看起来好像总是在努力维持生计,所以说上大学这个梦想对他来说很昂贵。故本题选D,第22题选B。
22.B 解析见上题。
23.A 根据下文“and I was determined”可知,作者的内心在正确的位置上,他很坚决。故选A。
24.D 根据下文“but also I 35 two of the scholarships I had applied for”可知,作者申请了所有能申请的奖学金。故选D。

29.A 此处指作者感到既兴奋又担心。他担心的是不能支付学费。 故选A。
30.C 作者一直在做全职工作,但那还不足以支付学费。 cover足以支付,够付。故选C。
31.C 此题可以和第32题一起解出。上文提到作者申请了经济援助,所以31题这里指的是几个月过去了,他才收到经济援助办公室的信,再根据32题前面的“requesting more information to process my”可知,是要求提供更多信息以审核他的申请。故本题选C,第32题选B。
32.B 解析见上题。
33.B 根据上文“This happened over and over”可知,这件事发生了一次又一次,作者的希望不断落空。 故选B。
34.D 此处指最后,一封信来了,这封信将决定他是否能上大学。故选D。
35.A 此处指不仅经济援助将帮助作者解决开支问题,而且作者还获得了两个申请的奖学金。故选A。
第二节
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国古代钱币的演变。
36.used 考查过去分词。这里money与提示词use之间为被动关系,故用过去分词作后置定语。
37.in 考查介词。in different shapes 是固定短语,表示“呈现出不同的形状”。
38.a 考查冠词。句意:公元前221年秦始皇统一中国后,中间有一个方孔的圆形硬币被采用,这种货币一直被使用到1890年左右。这里泛指“方形的孔”,单数可数名词前要加不定冠词,square 的发音以辅音音素开头,故填a。
39.were introduced 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。 “in 221 BC”是过去的时间,且coins和introduce之间是被动关系,故用一般过去时的被动语态;主语 round coins 是复数,谓语也用复数。故填were introduced。
40.imagination 考查名词。句意:在这个国家的普遍想象中,这就是货币的形式,今天它成为财富和繁荣的象征。设空处作介词in的宾语,且前面有定冠词the,应用名词,这里表抽象意义,不可数,故填 imagination。
41.and 考查连词。wealth和prosperity为并列关系,故用并列连词and。
42.which 考查定语从句。句意:在更高级别的交易中,银锭子是常用的,它们看起来像是孩子们喜欢用纸折的传统的船……。分析句子结构可知,设空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是 ingots of silver,关系词在非限制性定语从句中作主语,指物,故用 which。
43.folding 考查非谓语动词。enjoy后要用动名词作宾语,表示“喜欢做某事”,故填folding。
44.daily 考查形容词。由前面的定冠词the和后面的名词life可知,这里应用形容词,daily life表示“日常生活”。故填daily。
45.increasingly 考查副词。设空处修饰后面的形容词common,应用副词。increasingly common意为“越来越常见”。故填increasingly。

第二节
One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
A few weeks later,I went to the farm again. On arrival, I approached the milking house and noticed that the broken window had been completely fixed, with no sign of the danger that had once threatened the small bird. I was relieved and grateful that my friends had taken my warning into consideration and taken action to protect the hummingbird. I spent the afternoon exploring the farm and chatting with my friends, hoping to catch a glimpse of the little bird. However, a ripple of sadness surged through me when not seeing the lovely creature the whole day. The night screen was to hang down.
Paragraph 2:
I was just about to leave when the hummingbird appeared. She was flying around me and hovering just a few inches in front of my face. I was amazed and touched by this unexpected visit. The tiny bird seemed to be thanking me for rescuing her and making sure she was safe. I stood there, entranced by her beauty and grace as she flew in circles around me. After a few moments, she let out a squeak as if bidding me farewell and flew off into the distance. As I said goodbye to the hummingbird and got into my car, I knew that I would always treasure the memory of that special encounter.

One night, security guard Aina found a wallet that had been left behind in a shopping cart at the grocery store where he works.
Instead of leaving it in the lost and found, the 22-year-old returned the wallet to the total stranger at her home! While that is impressive of itself, what's even more amazing is that he had to ride his bike for over 3 miles to get there because he didn't have a car.
Aina was able to return the wallet to Chloe, who had forgotten the important item while trying to load her baby and groceries into the car. She couldn't believe Aina's thoughtfulness, so after he left her home, Chloe's husband, Gray, turned to Facebook to give the security guard some praise.
“He rode his bicycle to return her wallet—completely full of everything important to her, including cash. Nothing was more moving,” Gray explained. “Words cannot do this gentleman justice. He truly is what is right in this world.” From there, the power of social media took over! Gray's post spread quickly for all the right reasons, which gave his business partner, Greg Gaudet, the idea of starting a GoFundMe campaign to buy Aina a new car! In just two weeks, they had raised over $25,000—enough to buy Aina a 2017 VW Jetta and cover his insurance and gas costs of 6 to 12 months!
Aina was completely blown away by the surprise! After all, this was never what he intended when he rode so far to return Chloe's wallet. “I have lost stuff before too,” he said. “I would greatly want someone to come forward and do the same if I lost something”.
4.Where did Aina find Chloe's wallet
A.In Aina's car.
B.At Aina's home.
C.Outside the grocery store.
D.In a cart of the grocery store.
5.How did Aina return Chloe's wallet

C.Gray asked Greg Gaudet to help Aina.

A.Honest and caring.
B.Determined and brave.
C.Generous and hopeful.
D.Stubborn and courageous.

Nowadays, more stores and restaurants are not accepting cash as a means of payment. Instead, customers must pay with a credit card, or by smartphone apps.
Many business owners say that being cashless has helped them streamline the way their businesses run. Staff members don't have to think about having enough money in the cash register to give change or taking bills and coins to the bank.
However, according to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, more than 8 million households in the United States don't have bank accounts. Also, many people, including kids, don't meet the requirements for a credit card.
“A cashless economy is not an inclusive economy. There are consumers who can't get a credit card because of low income. When stores refuse to accept cash, they exclude low-income or homeless people,” says Tazra Mitchell, policy director at the DC Fiscal Policy Institute.
Plus people who do have credit cards might prefer to pay in cash. “Cash is used by almost eight in ten people in the US every month. That's more than the percentage of any other payment type,” says Nick Bourke, director of the Pew Charitable Trusts' consumer finance project.
Lawmakers in several places have taken steps to ban cashless stores. A handful of major cities—including New York City and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania—have already passed laws to address the problem. In San Francisco, California, a law banning cashless stores was passed last May. It says most stores in the city must allow customers to pay in cash. Derek Remski helped make the San Francisco law. Remski says, “It's about understanding that not everyone has equal access to things.”
8.What does the underlined word “streamline” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A.Record.
B.Understand.
C.Redevelop.
D.Simplify.
9.What does Tazra Mitchell think of a cashless economy
A.It is unfair to some people.
B.It is enjoyed by bank workers.
C.It is advantageous to customers.
D.It is the result of the marketplace.
10.What can we learn from Paragraph 5
A.Cash payment is still very popular with consumers.
B.Cashless stores will be driven out of the market.
C.Stores should allow more than one payment type.
D.Paying with credit cards has its own disadvantages.
11.What is some cities' attitude towards going cashless
A.They encourage it.
B.They fight it.
C.They care little about it.
D.They are hopeful about it.

A night at the movies is always a good idea. But when you leave the theater and realize you just dropped $45 on a ticket and some snacks, you'll wish you had been patient enough to wait until the movie came out on Netflix. The average movie ticket price in the United States in 2000 was $5.39; now, a ticket is over $9.
The main reason that movie tickets have got so expensive is because of inflation(通货膨胀). It was actually more expensive to go to the movies in the 70s than it is now. A ticket in 1978 cost $2.34. If you enter that into an inflation calculator, the same ticket would cost you $9.46 today. According to the National Association of Theater Owners, the average cost of a ticket today is $9.11.
Another reason why you need to spend some of your life savings seeing a movie on the big screen is that theaters are competing with streaming services that produce their own films, such as Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon. And let's be honest, sitting at home on your sofa or bed is more comfortable than sitting in a cold theater.
Because of streaming technology, theaters have to do something to bring in customers. Attractions—including alcohol, reclining seats(躺椅), surround sound, and 3-D movies—are all examples of that. And those upgrades come at a price, leading to more expensive tickets.
“There's all that extra cost, and it's really important for theater owners and companies to make that experience as enjoyable as possible,” Patrick Corcoran, vice president of the National Association of Theater Owners told Marketplace. “Because you're offering a superb experience—audience expectations are for the latest and greatest technology. Audiences are willing to pay more for a particular experience.”
12.According to the passage, what makes movie tickets so expensive
A.The viewers are wealthier than before.
B.The movie theaters offer popcorn and alcohol for free.
C.Inflation has made the ticket price appear higher than before.
D.The popular movies with famous stars deserve the high price.
13.What can we learn from the passage
A.Netflix is always a better choice for movie viewers than theaters.
B.With comfortable seats, theaters are more attractive than streaming services.
C.The viewers actually pay more for the upgrades of the movie theaters.
D.The theater owners and companies update the theaters to make them popular.
14.Which of the following would Patrick Corcoran most probably agree with
A.It's unwise for viewers to pay so much to watch a movie in the theater.
B.The high price of a movie ticket is supposed to agree with a wonderful experience.
C.It's a waste of money to provide the latest technology in the theater.
D.The viewers would prefer to sit at home on the sofa or bed.
15.What is the best title for the text
A.Behind the Increasing Price of Movie Tickets
B.Technological Improvement on Movie Theaters
C.The Competition Between Movie Theaters and Streaming Services
D.How to Save the Viewers' Wallets

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Don't be too concerned about money, because all it will do is distract you from achieving happiness. And the irony(具有讽刺意味的事) is that people think they will be happy when they have money. 16 . If you are happy and you have money, you can use it for happiness. If you are unhappy and you have money, you will use that money for more unhappiness. Money is simply a neutral force.
Don't misunderstand me: 17 . I am not against anything. Money is a means. Your money will enhance your pattern, whether it is good or bad.
18 . They are ready, at any moment, to change their patterns and to change their ways, if more money is available somewhere else.
Once the money is there, then suddenly you are no longer yourself; you are ready to change.
This is the way of the worldly man. Remember, I don't call a person worldly because he or she has money. 19 . This applies to people with no money as well—they may simply be poor. Just being poor does not equal to lacking spirit;and just being rich does not equal to being a materialist. The materialistic pattern of life is one in which money predominates(占主导地位) over everything.
The non-materialistic life is one in which money is just a means;happiness predominates;joy predominates;your own individuality predominates. 20 , and you are not distracted.
Then suddenly you will see your life has a meaningful quality.
A.I am not against money
B.However, money has nothing to do with happiness
C.So they attach great importance to money
D.You know who you are and where you are going
E.Money brings great joy for people who pursue it
F.I call them worldly if they change their motives for money
G.But people keep looking for money as if money would bring happiness

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was invited to a cookout on an old friend's farm in western Washington. I parked my car outside the farm and walked past a milking house which had apparently not been used for many years. A noise at a window caught my attention, so I entered it. It was a hummingbird(蜂鸟), desperately trying to escape. She was caught in spider's webs(蜘蛛网) and was barely able to move her wings. She ceased her struggle the instant I picked her up.
With the bird in my cupped hands, I looked around to see how she had got in. The broken window glass was the likely answer. I stuffed a piece of cloth into the hole and took her outside, closing the door securely behind me.
When I opened my hands, the bird did not fly away; she sat looking at me with her bright eyes. I removed the sticky spider's webs that covered her head and wings. Still, she made no attempt to fly. Perhaps she had been struggling against the window too long and was too tired Or too thirsty
As I carried her up the blackberry-lined path toward my car where I kept a water bottle, she began to move. I stopped, and she soon took wing but did not immediately fly away. Hovering(盘旋), she approached within six inches of my face. For a very long moment, this tiny creature looked into my eyes, turning her head from side to side. Then she flew quickly out of sight.
During the cookout, I told my hosts about the hummingbird incident. They promised to fix the window. As I was departing, my friends walked me to my car. I was standing by the car when a hummingbird flew to the center of our group and began hovering. She turned from person to person until she came to me. She again looked directly into my eyes, then let out a squeak and was gone. For a moment, all were speechless. Then someone said, “She must have come to say goodbye.”
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
A few weeks later,I went to the farm again.
Paragraph 2:
I was just about to leave when the hummingbird appeared.

5.C 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可知Aina骑自行车骑了三英里多去归还钱包,故选C。
6.A 推理判断题。根据第三、四段可知,Aina的行为被Chloe和她的丈夫Gray感激和赞扬,因此被发布到脸书上。Gray 的帖子迅速传播开来,这让他的商业伙伴 Greg Gaudet 萌生了发起GoFundMe活动为 Aina筹钱买辆小汽车的想法,所以是Aina的行为感动了Greg Gaudet,促使他发起 GoFundMe活动为 Aina筹钱买了辆小汽车,故选A。
7.A 推理判断题。根据第二段Aina的主要事迹“22岁的他没有把钱包丢在失物招领处,而是把它送到一个完全陌生的人的家里”可推断他拾金不昧、主动送还,具有诚实的品质;根据第三段第二句中的“她对Aina的体贴感到难以置信”可知Aina是体贴人的,因此A项“诚实的和体贴人的”符合题意。故选A。
C
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如今的无现金化这一社会现象。
8.D 词义猜测题。根据画线词下文可知,工作人员不用考虑现金出纳机里有足够的钱来找零,也不用考虑把钞票和硬币拿到银行,说明无现金化帮助他们简化了经营方式,提升了效率。D项“简化”与画线词意思接近,故选D。
9.A 推理判断题。根据第四段Tazra Mitchell说的话“无现金经济不是包容性经济。有些消费者因为收入低而拿不到信用卡。当商店拒绝接受现金时,他们就将低收入者或无家可归者排除在外了”可知,Tazra Mitchell认为无现金经济对某些人是不公平的,故选 A 。
10.A 细节理解题。根据第五段第二句“在美国,每10个人中就有差不多8个人每月使用现金”可知,现金支付仍然很受消费者欢迎,故选A。

13.C 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段最后一句“And those upgrades come at a price, leading to more expensive tickets.”可知,那些升级是有代价的,导致票价更高,也就是说观众实际上为电影院的升级支付了更多的费用。故选C。
14.B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Because you're offering a superb...for a particular experience.”可知,Patrick Corcoran认为因为你提供了卓越的体验——观众期待的是最新最棒的技术。观众愿意为独特的观影体验花更多的钱,由此可推断B项“电影票的高价应该与美妙的体验相一致”是Patrick Corcoran最有可能同意的观点。故选B。
15.A 主旨大意题。第一段中提到了美国平均电影票价上涨,后面段落介绍了电影票价上涨的主要原因。因此,A项“电影票价上涨的背后”最适合作为本文的标题。故选A。
第二节
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇议论文。作者分享了自己对金钱的看法,认为不应该太在意金钱,金钱只是一种手段,人们不该为之迷失自我。
16.B 根据上一句可知具有讽刺意味的事情是,人们认为有钱就会幸福;根据本段最后一句可知金钱只是一种中性的东西。所以B项“然而,金钱与幸福没有关系”符合语境。故选B。
17.A 根据下文“I am not against anything.”可知作者不反对任何东西,A项“我并不反对金钱”与下文联系紧密,符合语境。故选A。
18.G 根据下文可知,如果在其他地方可以获得更多的钱,他们会随时准备改变自己的方式。由此可知,G项“但是人们一直在寻找金钱,好像金钱能带来幸福”符合语境。故选G。
19.F 上文提到“记住,我不会因为他或她有钱而称一个人世俗”,F项“如果他们为了金钱而改变动机,我称他们世俗”是在说明作者认为世俗的人是什么样子的,与上文联系紧密,符合语境。故选F。
20.D 根据上文可知,在非物质享乐主义的生活中,金钱只是一种手段;幸福占主导地位;快乐占主导地位;你自己的个性占主导地位。D项“你知道你是谁,要去哪里”与上文是顺承的关系,让幸福、快乐、自己的个性占主导地位,我们才更清楚自己是谁,要去哪里;并且D项“你才不会分心”与下文是顺承的关系,知道自己是谁,要去哪里之后我们才不会分心。所以D项符合语境,故选D。
第二部分 语言运用
第一节
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者的家庭无法支付学费,但作者没有轻言放弃,积极争取奖学金,努力赚取学费,最终成功入学。
21.D 本题可以和第22题一起解出,我们可以先看第22题。根据“it seemed as though we had always 22 to make ends meet”可知,作者他们家看起来好像总是在努力维持生计,所以说上大学这个梦想对他来说很昂贵。故本题选D,第22题选B。
22.B 解析见上题。

32.B 解析见上题。
33.B 根据上文“This happened over and over”可知,这件事发生了一次又一次,作者的希望不断落空。 故选B。
34.D 此处指最后,一封信来了,这封信将决定他是否能上大学。故选D。
35.A 此处指不仅经济援助将帮助作者解决开支问题,而且作者还获得了两个申请的奖学金。故选A。
第二节
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国古代钱币的演变。
36.used 考查过去分词。这里money与提示词use之间为被动关系,故用过去分词作后置定语。
37.in 考查介词。in different shapes 是固定短语,表示“呈现出不同的形状”。
38.a 考查冠词。句意:公元前221年秦始皇统一中国后,中间有一个方孔的圆形硬币被采用,这种货币一直被使用到1890年左右。这里泛指“方形的孔”,单数可数名词前要加不定冠词,square 的发音以辅音音素开头,故填a。
39.were introduced 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。 “in 221 BC”是过去的时间,且coins和introduce之间是被动关系,故用一般过去时的被动语态;主语 round coins 是复数,谓语也用复数。故填were introduced。
40.imagination 考查名词。句意:在这个国家的普遍想象中,这就是货币的形式,今天它成为财富和繁荣的象征。设空处作介词in的宾语,且前面有定冠词the,应用名词,这里表抽象意义,不可数,故填 imagination。
41.and 考查连词。wealth和prosperity为并列关系,故用并列连词and。
42.which 考查定语从句。句意:在更高级别的交易中,银锭子是常用的,它们看起来像是孩子们喜欢用纸折的传统的船……。分析句子结构可知,设空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是 ingots of silver,关系词在非限制性定语从句中作主语,指物,故用 which。
43.folding 考查非谓语动词。enjoy后要用动名词作宾语,表示“喜欢做某事”,故填folding。
44.daily 考查形容词。由前面的定冠词the和后面的名词life可知,这里应用形容词,daily life表示“日常生活”。故填daily。
45.increasingly 考查副词。设空处修饰后面的形容词common,应用副词。increasingly common意为“越来越常见”。故填increasingly。

Paragraph 1:
A few weeks later,I went to the farm again. On arrival, I approached the milking house and noticed that the broken window had been completely fixed, with no sign of the danger that had once threatened the small bird. I was relieved and grateful that my friends had taken my warning into consideration and taken action to protect the hummingbird. I spent the afternoon exploring the farm and chatting with my friends, hoping to catch a glimpse of the little bird. However, a ripple of sadness surged through me when not seeing the lovely creature the whole day. The night screen was to hang down.
Paragraph 2:
I was just about to leave when the hummingbird appeared. She was flying around me and hovering just a few inches in front of my face. I was amazed and touched by this unexpected visit. The tiny bird seemed to be thanking me for rescuing her and making sure she was safe. I stood there, entranced by her beauty and grace as she flew in circles around me. After a few moments, she let out a squeak as if bidding me farewell and flew off into the distance. As I said goodbye to the hummingbird and got into my car, I knew that I would always treasure the memory of that special encounter.
