A first year undergraduate (本科生) student in Chengdu, recently complained (抱怨) online that her mother refused to raise her monthly allowance to 4,500 yuan ($633) even when she said her current allowance (津贴，生活费) 2,000 yuan was not enough to cover her expenses, sparking a debate on how much money a college student needs per month. One expert shares his views on the issue with China Daily: Students should pursue education, not comfort.
Even for a college student studying in a big city in China, 2,000 yuan is enough to cover all his or her monthly expenses. In fact, for a college student in Chengdu, a monthly allowance of 2,000 yuan is more than enough. According to a survey (调查), the average monthly expense for an undergraduate in cities other than Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou was less than 2,000 yuan in 2019; for Chengdu, it was 1,900 yuan.
Claiming that she can hardly afford new clothing and cosmetics (化妆品) with her 2,000 yuan monthly allowance, the undergraduate student in Chengdu criticized (批评) her mother for refusing to raise her pocket money. Her “meager” allowance, she said, prevented her from buying branded goods that her roommates enjoyed.
By the time a person enters a college, she or he should have developed a sensible consumption (消费) habit. And a youth should adjust her or his consumption according to her or his family income. On a deeper level, the money they spend in college should depend on how much they value their parents' hard work. Besides, some college students could take up part-time jobs to meet their needs if they feel their parents don't or can't give them enough money. In this way they can also learn to meet the requirements of life in the future and develop sensible consumption habits. More importantly, they should always bear in mind that education is their top priority in college.
8. What's the expert's attitude to the issue about the undergraduate student
A. Critical. B. Neutral. C. Supportive. D. Unconcerned.
9. In 2019, the undergraduates' average monthly expense in Hangzhou was .
A. more than 2,000 yuan B. 633 dollars
C. less than 2,000 yuan D. 1,900 yuan
10. Which of the following best explains the underlined word “meager” in paragraph 3
A. Empty. B. Pitiful. C. Mean. D. Fruitful.
11. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A. College students should keep their expenses in line with their family conditions.
B. College students consumption level is determined by their parents.
C. College students should take up a part-time job to cover their expenses.
D. College students should deal with their living expenses problems reasonably.

The design of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic torch (火炬) was shown on July 25, marking almost a year until the opening ceremony (典礼) of the Paris Olympic Games.
The torch, measuring 70 centimeters and weighing 3.3 pounds, is made with lightweight radiant steel and is known for its champagne color, a color of French white wine.
Mathieu Lehanneur, the designer of the torch said that he drew inspiration from three Paris 2024 symbols-equality, water and peacefulness. Equality is shown by perfect balance. Peacefulness is shown by the gentleness of the curves. The lower half features a relief pattern that copies the movement of the River Seine, along which the opening ceremony will be held.
It will be the first torch in the history of the Games to be used for both the Olympics and Paralympics. Past designs have shared similarities but are different in shape and color. This is part of the organizing committee’s plan to “build bridges between the Olympic and Paralympic Games”, Paris 2024’s president Tony Estanguet said in a statement.
Equality means putting the same ambition into organising the Paralympic Games as the Olympic Games. Following on from the medals to the mascots, the Olympic and Paralympic Games will share the same torch design.
Equality in the Paris 2024 project is also reflected in the strong promise to equality in the Olympic Games: For the first time in the history of the Games, as many women as men will take part in the competitions. Reflecting this desire for peace, the torch, with its curves and rounded lines, is filled with gentleness. The design of the torch delivers generosity and unity.
“Such a project is a dream for a designer, because it’s a project that connects something symbolic and technical in one, for a big moment,” Lehanneur said.
12. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The shape of the torch.
B. The inspiration of the torch.
C. The ceremony of the Games.
D. The location of the opening ceremony.
13. What is special about the torch
A. It is very heavy.
B. It is perfect in shape.
C. It copies the movement of the River Seine
D. It will be used in the Olympics and Paralympics
14. What can we infer from what Lehanneur said in the last paragraph
A. He had a passion for sports.
B. He wanted to be a well-known designer.
C. He felt a sense of achievement and pride.
D. He wished to connect everything together.
15. What can be the best title for the text
A. A designer realized his dream B. Inspiration of the 2024 Games
C. Paris 2024 showed torch design D. Equality, water and peacefulness

【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了大学生在校每月的生活费开销以及人们对此的看法。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“One expert shares his views on the issue with China Daily: Students should pursue education, not comfort.”（一位专家与《中国日报》分享了他对这个问题的看法：学生应该追求教育，而不是安逸。）由此判断出，专家对这位大学生的做法是持批评态度的。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“According to a survey (调查), the average monthly expense for an undergraduate in cities other than Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou was less than 2,000 yuan in 2019.”( 据某记账平台开展的一项调查显示，2019年，北京、上海和杭州以外的城市大学生月平均消费不足2000元)。由此可知，2019年杭州大学生每月的消费低于2000元。故选C。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第三段中“prevented her from buying branded goods that her hostel-mates enjoyed.”（阻止她购买她的室友喜欢的名牌商品。）由此可知，她认为父母给的零花钱很少，很“可怜的”，不够花。故“meager”应意为“可怜的”。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“ By the time a person enters a college, she or he should have developed a sensible consumption (消费) habit. And a youth should adjust her or his consumption according to her or his family income. On a deeper level, the money they spend in college should depend on how much they value their parents' hard work. Besides, some college students could take up part-time jobs to meet their needs if they feel their parents don't or can't give them enough money. In this way they can also learn to meet the requirements of life in the future and develop sensible consumption habits. More importantly, they should always bear in mind that education is their top priority in college.”（当一个人进入大学时，他或她应该养成合理的消费习惯。青年应当根据家庭收入调整消费。在更深的层次上，他们在大学里花的钱应该取决于他们对父母努力工作的重视程度。此外，一些大学生可以采取兼职工作来满足他们的需求，如果他们觉得父母不给他们或不能给他们足够的钱。这样他们也可以学会满足未来生活的需求，养成健康的消费习惯。更重要的是，他们应该始终记住，教育是他们在大学的首要任务。）由此可知，最后一段主要讲述了大学生应该合理地处理他们的生活费用问题。故选D。
D
The design of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic torch (火炬) was shown on July 25, marking almost a year until the opening ceremony (典礼) of the Paris Olympic Games.
The torch, measuring 70 centimeters and weighing 3.3 pounds, is made with lightweight radiant steel and is known for its champagne color, a color of French white wine.
Mathieu Lehanneur, the designer of the torch said that he drew inspiration from three Paris 2024 symbols-equality, water and peacefulness. Equality is shown by perfect balance. Peacefulness is shown by the gentleness of the curves. The lower half features a relief pattern that copies the movement of the River Seine, along which the opening ceremony will be held.
It will be the first torch in the history of the Games to be used for both the Olympics and Paralympics. Past designs have shared similarities but are different in shape and color. This is part of the organizing committee’s plan to “build bridges between the Olympic and Paralympic Games”, Paris 2024’s president Tony Estanguet said in a statement.
Equality means putting the same ambition into organising the Paralympic Games as the Olympic Games. Following on from the medals to the mascots, the Olympic and Paralympic Games will share the same torch design.
Equality in the Paris 2024 project is also reflected in the strong promise to equality in the Olympic Games: For the first time in the history of the Games, as many women as men will take part in the competitions. Reflecting this desire for peace, the torch, with its curves and rounded lines, is filled with gentleness. The design of the torch delivers generosity and unity.
“Such a project is a dream for a designer, because it’s a project that connects something symbolic and technical in one, for a big moment,” Lehanneur said.
12. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The shape of the torch.
B. The inspiration of the torch.
C. The ceremony of the Games.
D. The location of the opening ceremony.
13. What is special about the torch
A. It is very heavy.
B. It is perfect in shape.
C. It copies the movement of the River Seine
D. It will be used in the Olympics and Paralympics
14. What can we infer from what Lehanneur said in the last paragraph
A. He had a passion for sports.
B. He wanted to be a well-known designer.
C. He felt a sense of achievement and pride.
D. He wished to connect everything together.
15. What can be the best title for the text
A. A designer realized his dream B. Inspiration of the 2024 Games
C. Paris 2024 showed torch design D. Equality, water and peacefulness
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍了巴黎2024年奥运会和残奥会火炬的设计和意义。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“Mathieu Lehanneur,the designer of the torch said that he drew inspiration from three Paris 2024 symbols-equality, water and peacefulness. Equality is shown by perfect balance. Peacefulness is shown by the gentleness of the curves. The lower half features a relief pattern that copies the movement of the River Seine, along which the opening ceremony will be held.(火炬设计师Mathieu Lehanneur表示，他的灵感来自2024年巴黎奥运会的三个象征——平等、水和和平。完美的平衡是平等的表现。柔和的曲线显示出宁静。下半部分的浮雕图案模仿了塞纳河的运动，开幕式将沿着塞纳河举行)”可知，本段主要讲述了巴黎奥运火炬的灵感来源。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“It will be the first torch in the history of the Games to be used for both the Olympics and Paralympics.(这将是奥运会历史上第一个同时在奥运会和残奥会上使用的火炬)”可知，巴黎奥运火炬特别之处是它将用于奥运会和残奥会。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““Such a project is a dream for a designer, because it’s a project that connects something symbolic and technical in one, for a big moment,” Lehanneur said.(Lehanneur说：“这样的项目是设计师的梦想，因为它是一个将象征和技术联系在一起的项目，在一个重要的时刻。”)”可知，对于能设计奥运火炬，他感到一种成就感和自豪感，故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“The design of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic torch (火炬) was shown on July 25, marking almost a year until the opening ceremony (典礼) of the Paris Olympic Games.(巴黎2024年奥运会和残奥会火炬的设计于7月25日展出，距离巴黎奥运会开幕式还有近一年的时间)”以及纵观全文可知，本文主要讲述了巴黎2024年奥运会和残奥会火炬的设计和意义，所以C项“Paris 2024 showed torch design(巴黎2024年展示了火炬设计)”是本文最好的标题。故选C项。
