Like many great ideas, Mike started small. In 2014, a friend inspired him to perform an act of kindness as a social media challenge.
Mike decided to choose the 79-year-old senior named Jennifer, who not only dropped off baked goods for the neighbors but also volunteered at the homeless shelter. To know Jennifer better, Mike asked to spend a day with her. “It was the first time that someone had made a day about her,” says the 30-year-old.
Their shared experience got Mike thinking: how many other seniors might benefit from that kind of attention At the time, Cara, a student in their community, was equally interested in this question, and the pair came up with a plan: they would find local seniors with long-time dreams and work to fulfill those wishes. They even settled on a name for their new charity: We Are Young, or WAY for short. It has since delivered on 38 dreams—ranging from a helicopter trip to watching a football game.
Seniors can nominate (提名) themselves or be nominated by someone else. Melanie nominated her partner, 78-year-old Victor, to go rockhounding-a hobby he’d given up when he became physically difficult. The team at WAY borrowed a boat so they could reach the beach and enjoy the day there.
“If you lose the sense of purpose that having a passion can give you, your self-confidence goes down,” says Mike. “Now, Victor has retrieved some of his self-confidence. We want to show that anything is possible with the support of others.”
While their organization operates only in their neighborhood, Mike and Cara have their own dreams. Each WAY wish is recorded, and that’s purposeful—the pair want people watching to be encouraged to fulfill a wish for a senior in their own community. “We want to create a nationwide movement that shifts how we view, value and support seniors,” says Mike. “That is the impact we’re trying to create.”
29．Why did Mike choose Jennifer to perform acts of kindness
A．She lived alone and could hardly cook. B．She had difficulty in using social media.
C．She was always friendly to the neighbors. D．She was sent to the homeless shelter recently.
30．Which of the following citizens would probably benefit from WAY
A．A charity member planning to collect birthday wishes.
B．An elderly hoping to revisit his birthplace for a long time.
C．A senior high student looking forward to a trip to England.
D．A caretaker in the nursing home expecting a bunch of flowers.
31．What does the underlined word “retrieved” in paragraph 6 probably mean
A．regained B．reserved C．remembered D．resolved
32．What is the pair’s purpose of recording the WAY wishes
A．To keep track of the whole process. B．To inspire more viewers to take action.
C．To invite more elderly to participate in. D．To give encouragement to those in need.
In mainland Britain, people who has ever attempted to grow berries or nuts — or indeed feed the bird — will know, doing so is identical to an opening move in a game of chess with local grey squirrels, a game the squirrels tend to win. Grey squirrels are also fond of the occasional bird’s eggs or the young birds, and enjoy tearing and eating the bark of young broadleaf trees, which can either kill the trees or leave them open to infection. This, apart from affecting biodiversity and the landscape, harms the wood industry. The loss — in damaged timber, lost carbon revenue and tree replacements — is not insignificant: 37 a year in England and Wales.
Grey squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis), introduced from North America in 1876, have nearly replaced the native red squirrels (Sciurus vulgaris) in Britain by outcompeting them for food and habitat. They are larger, and stronger, and resistant to squirrel pox virus, while reds are not. About 3 million now live in the UK; the International Union for Conservation of Nature lists the grey squirrel among the top 100 most harmful invasive species in the world.
In Britain, significant efforts have been made to stop grey squirrels’ progress, including trapping, shooting, and releasing pine martens into their habitats. The latest move, a workable system for which was thought to be a decade away, is forbidding the breeding of grey squirrels. However, legal challenges brought so many delays that the invasive grey squirrels. population expanded to an unmanageable level and wiping out was abandoned. The main issue in Britain was thought to be more technological than legal — designing a drug that targets only grey squirrels to prevent them breeding. Another possibility in the years ahead is to use DNA editing to ensure grey females are born unable to give birth.
Obviously, there is a hint of xenophobia (仇外) in some discussions about the introduction of grey squirrels to Britain nearly 150 years ago which has had an impact on the local ecosystem, posing a threat to native species. It’s also worth noting that reds — which also tear bark and take eggs — were seen as pests until the early 1930s, and extensively killed. There is, too, a strong argument that ecosystems evolve naturally, and it may be impractical and unrealistic to intervenes or even resist it. The attraction of controlling the breeding of the grey squirrels is that it is less inhumane, and aims for balance rather than uprooting.
33．What does the author focus on in paragraph one
A．The harm of grey squirrels.
B．The cutting habits of grey squirrels.
C．The effect of grey squirrels on the wood industry.
D．The game between the British and grey squirrels.
34．What led to the victory of grey squirrels over red squirrels
A．Their huge number. B．Their unique origins.
C．Their breeding ability. D．Their physical qualities.
35．What approach is preferred in Britain to control grey squirrels’population
A．To offer more labour. B．To invest more money.
C．To perfect the law. D．To take advantage of technology.
36．What is the author’s attitude to controlling the breeding of grey squirrels
A．Unclear. B．Indifferent. C．Favorable. D．Doubtful.
When I stepped into my sister’s house, I could feel the tension among the family members. My nephew was complaining that current allowances are insufficient to cover his expenses and questioning why he cannot be trusted. Financial literacy (素养) is a totally new word to his parents and, in their mind, parents are supposed to be extremely tight on kids’ money.
As raised in a traditional way, we are constantly told to spend a fixed amount of money in a particular period, with everything arranged. The lack of financial literacy among teens is mainly due to the fear of losing control, which has overshadowed the importance of introducing genuine ideas that can promote independence and responsibility tied to financial autonomy (自主). This mindset implies that if you just follow the parents plan, seemingly you succeed m managing your money. Still, each year heartbreaking news about college students who are involved in unaffordable debt keep popping up.
Having financial literacy, however, have more benefits than expected. At best, teens with self-discipline would appreciate the trust and make informed financial decisions. Ever at worst, the cost of making mistakes in teenage years is relatively low and committing the mistakes honestly may open the door to some constructive feedback and financial tips.
True financial literacy isn’t simply about carrying out a strict or loose strategy on spending but teaching teenagers to differentiate between necessity and desire, and making wise choices. But managed properly, both bread and Air Jordan shoes can be obtained. With Air Jordan shoes ahead, the difficulty in making and saving money makes us appreciate the value of efforts. Budgeting, planning for your expenses, help you make decisions of consequence and resist temptations.
Once teens demonstrate responsible management of cash-based expenses, it is time to consider upgrading. However, teens may not be fully equipped to travel in the complex financial landscape without enough supervision and support. After all, financial autonomy comes with responsibilities.
37．What is the function of mentioning the author’s nephew
A．To explain a difficult concept. B．To draw a persuasive conclusion.
C．To give a reasonable prediction. D．To present a convincing example.
38．Why do we need financial literacy
A．It guarantees more control on money by parents.
B．It stresses the necessity of producing genuine ideas.
C．It helps generate independence and responsibilities.
D．It increases the risk of having unaffordable debt.
39．Which pair is similar to bread and Air Jordan shoes
A．Tasty dumplings and cheap stationery. B．Instant noodles and all-star game ticket.
C．Worn-out jeans and plain basketball cap. D．Latest electronic devices and rare goods.
40．What is the purpose of the passage
A．To motivate teens to have financial literacy skills.
B．To tell reasons why teens fail to manage their finance.
C．To teach teens how to spend money reasonably and wisely.
D．To analyze the pros and cons of having financial autonomy.
How colour psychology influences your dinner party guests
After spending hours cooking and preparing the table setting for your guests, you hope that everyone enjoys your recipes. But it’s not all about the quality of the ingredients and the skills of the cook. 41 Whether it is a plate, a glass, a bowl or a cup, colour makes a significant impact on your guests.
42 After that first impression, the brain integrates the visual information and affects perception(认知), making you think that the same food is excellent, good or average. Thus, the goal for dinner parties is to ensure that the food looks pleasing to the eye, so your guests will think it tastes as good as it looks.
Bowl colour influences the desirability of food for picky eaters, as well as the perception of saltiness. Picky eaters tend to perceive meals in red and blue bowls as saltier compared to white. And they are more unwilling to try new food in a red bowl. 43
You can never go wrong with a white plate. Just avoid it when the food served is pale. For desserts, white is ideal because it increases flavors and enhances sweetness. 44 Serving food in a black bowl can increase perceptions of its saltiness and portion size.
To bring extra aesthetic(审美的)appeal, creativity and to highlight foods lacking in colour, you can serve your meal on bright plates. But be careful! 45 Similar ingredient colors to the tableware make everything integrate together and your guests think they have less food.
A．It starts with your sight.
B．But the result of dark plates can vary a little.
C．However, the rules of colour may not apply to all.
D．Besides, colourful plates are preferred by choosy eaters.
E．Food should only look more vivid depending on the meal.
F．The tableware is also an essential element, especially the colour.
G．So, for demanding guests, choose the colour of the tableware first.

【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了灰松鼠的危害并探究了怎样对它们数量进行控制。
【解析】33．主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Grey squirrels are also fond of the occasional bird’s eggs or the young birds, and enjoy tearing and eating the bark of young broadleaf trees, which can either kill the trees or leave them open to infection. This, apart from affecting biodiversity and the landscape, harms the wood industry. The loss—in damaged timber, lost carbon revenue and tree replacements—is not insignificant: 37ma year in England and Wales. (灰松鼠也喜欢偶尔吃鸟蛋或幼鸟，喜欢撕咬幼树的树皮，这可能会杀死树木或使其容易感染。这不仅会影响生物多样性和景观，还会损害木材行业。木材受损、碳收入损失和树木更换的损失并非微不足道：英格兰和威尔士每年3700万英镑。)”可知，本段的重点是灰松鼠的危害。故选A项。
34．细节理解题。根据第二段中“They are larger, and stronger, and resistant to squirrel pox virus, while reds are not. (它们更大、更强，对松鼠痘病毒有抵抗力，而红松鼠则不然。)”可知，灰松鼠的身体素质更好导致它们战胜了红松鼠。故选D项。
35．细节理解题。根据第三段中“The main issue in Britain was thought to be more technological than legal—designing a drug that targets only grey squirrels to prevent them breeding. Another possibility in the years ahead is to use DNA editing to ensure grey females are born unable to give birth. (英国的主要问题被认为是技术问题而非法律问题——设计一种只针对灰松鼠的药物来阻止它们的繁殖。未来几年的另一种可能性是使用DNA编辑来确保灰色雌性出生时无法生育。)”可知，在英国，控制灰松鼠数量的首选方法是利用技术。故选D项。
36．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The attraction of controlling the breeding of the grey squirrels is that it is less inhumane, and aims for balance rather than uprooting. (控制灰松鼠繁殖的吸引力在于，它不那么不人道，而且旨在达到平衡，而不是根除。)”可知，作者对控制灰松鼠的繁殖持赞成态度。故选项。
【答案】37．A 38．C 39．B 40．D
【分析】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了青少年财务素养的重要性，以及如何通过培养财务素养来促进青少年的独立性和责任感。
【解析】37．推理判断题。根据第一段“My nephew was complaining that current allowances are insufficient to cover his expenses and questioning why he cannot be trusted. Financial literacy (素养) is a totally new word to his parents(我的侄子抱怨说，目前的零花钱不足以支付他的开销，还质疑为什么自己不被信任。对他父母而言，“财务素养” 完全是个陌生的概念)”可知，文章开头提到作者侄子抱怨零花钱不够花,以及对父母金钱管理方式的质疑，是为了引出和解释“财务素养” 这一相对抽象的概念，通过生活中具体的事例，让读者更容易理解这一概念，所以其作用是解释一个难理解的概念。故选A项。
38．细节理解题。根据第二段“The lack of financial literacy among teens is mainly due to the fear of losing control, which has overshadowed the importance of introducing genuine ideas that can promote independence and responsibility tied to financial autonomy (自主).(青少年缺乏财务素养主要是由于害怕失去控制，这掩盖了引入能够促进与财务自主相关的独立性和责任感的真实想法的重要性)”可知，我们需要财务素养是因为它有助于培养独立性和责任感。故选C项。
39．推理判断题。根据第四段“True financial literacy isn’t simply about carrying out a strict or loose strategy on spending but teaching teenagers to differentiate between necessity and desire, and making wise choices. But managed properly, both bread and Air Jordan shoes can be obtained.(真正的财务素养不仅仅是关于执行严格或宽松的支出策略，而是教青少年区分需求和欲望，并做出明智的选择。但如果管理得当，面包和飞人乔丹鞋都可以得到)”可知，面包是必需品，而飞人乔丹鞋是奢侈品，作者用这两者来代表生活中的必需品和奢侈品。因此，我们需要找到一对物品，其中一个代表必需品，另一个代表奢侈品。B选项“方便面(必需品)和全明星赛门票(奢侈品)”符合这一模式。故选B项。
40．推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章开篇通过描述作者侄子抱怨零花钱不够且质疑不被信任的事例，引出青少年缺乏财务素养这一现象。接着在第二段探讨了青少年缺乏财务素养的主要原因是害怕失去控制，从而忽视了培养与之相关的独立性和责任感。第三段阐述了具备财务素养的好处，比如让自律的青少年能做出明智财务决策，即使犯错成本也相对较低，还能获得建设性反馈。第四段指出真正的财务素养是教导青少年区分需求和欲望并做出明智选择。最后强调青少年在走向财务自主过程中需要监督和支持。综合全文来看，文章全面且深入地分析了青少年拥有财务自主（即具备财务素养）过程中的利与弊。故选D项。

43．上文“Picky eaters tend to perceive meals in red and blue bowls as saltier compared to white. And they are more unwilling to try new food in a red bowl.(挑剔的食客往往认为红色和蓝色碗里的食物比白色碗里的更咸。他们更不愿意尝试红碗里的新食物。)”说明针对挑剔的客人要挑选好餐具的颜色，选项G“因此，对于要求苛刻的客人，请先选择餐具的颜色。”承接上文，是对上文的总结。故选G项。
44．上文“For desserts, white is ideal because it increases flavors and enhances sweetness.(对于甜点来说，白色是理想的，因为它能增加味道和甜味。)”与下文“Serving food in a black bowl can increase perceptions of its saltiness and portion size.(用黑色碗盛食物可以增加人们对其咸味和份量的感知。)”存在转折的关系，空处应用表示转折的逻辑关系，选项B“但暗色的盘子结果可能会有所不同。”表示转折关系，承上启下。故选B项。
45．上文“To bring extra aesthetic(审美的)appeal, creativity and to highlight foods lacking in colour, you can serve your meal on bright plates. But be careful!(为了带来额外的审美吸引力、创造力和突出缺乏颜色的食物，你可以用明亮的盘子上菜。但是要小心!)”说明用明亮的盘子上菜，可以带来审美吸引力和创造力并突出缺乏颜色的食物，但是要小心，下文与上文构成转折关系，明确要小心的内容。选项E“食物只能取决于食物的不同看起来更生动。”承接上文，说明了要小心的内容，同时引出下文“Similar ingredient colors to the tableware make everything integrate together and your guests think they have less food.(与餐具相似的食材颜色使所有东西都融合在一起，你的客人会认为他们的食物更少。)”进一步解释说明要小心的内容。故选E项。

Like many great ideas, Mike started small. In 2014, a friend inspired him to perform an act of kindness as a social media challenge.
Mike decided to choose the 79-year-old senior named Jennifer, who not only dropped off baked goods for the neighbors but also volunteered at the homeless shelter. To know Jennifer better, Mike asked to spend a day with her. “It was the first time that someone had made a day about her,” says the 30-year-old.
Their shared experience got Mike thinking: how many other seniors might benefit from that kind of attention At the time, Cara, a student in their community, was equally interested in this question, and the pair came up with a plan: they would find local seniors with long-time dreams and work to fulfill those wishes. They even settled on a name for their new charity: We Are Young, or WAY for short. It has since delivered on 38 dreams—ranging from a helicopter trip to watching a football game.
Seniors can nominate (提名) themselves or be nominated by someone else. Melanie nominated her partner, 78-year-old Victor, to go rockhounding-a hobby he’d given up when he became physically difficult. The team at WAY borrowed a boat so they could reach the beach and enjoy the day there.
“If you lose the sense of purpose that having a passion can give you, your self-confidence goes down,” says Mike. “Now, Victor has retrieved some of his self-confidence. We want to show that anything is possible with the support of others.”
While their organization operates only in their neighborhood, Mike and Cara have their own dreams. Each WAY wish is recorded, and that’s purposeful—the pair want people watching to be encouraged to fulfill a wish for a senior in their own community. “We want to create a nationwide movement that shifts how we view, value and support seniors,” says Mike. “That is the impact we’re trying to create.”
29．Why did Mike choose Jennifer to perform acts of kindness
A．She lived alone and could hardly cook. B．She had difficulty in using social media.
C．She was always friendly to the neighbors. D．She was sent to the homeless shelter recently.
30．Which of the following citizens would probably benefit from WAY
A．A charity member planning to collect birthday wishes.
B．An elderly hoping to revisit his birthplace for a long time.
C．A senior high student looking forward to a trip to England.
D．A caretaker in the nursing home expecting a bunch of flowers.
31．What does the underlined word “retrieved” in paragraph 6 probably mean
A．regained B．reserved C．remembered D．resolved
32．What is the pair’s purpose of recording the WAY wishes
A．To keep track of the whole process. B．To inspire more viewers to take action.
C．To invite more elderly to participate in. D．To give encouragement to those in need.
In mainland Britain, people who has ever attempted to grow berries or nuts — or indeed feed the bird — will know, doing so is identical to an opening move in a game of chess with local grey squirrels, a game the squirrels tend to win. Grey squirrels are also fond of the occasional bird’s eggs or the young birds, and enjoy tearing and eating the bark of young broadleaf trees, which can either kill the trees or leave them open to infection. This, apart from affecting biodiversity and the landscape, harms the wood industry. The loss — in damaged timber, lost carbon revenue and tree replacements — is not insignificant: 37 a year in England and Wales.
Grey squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis), introduced from North America in 1876, have nearly replaced the native red squirrels (Sciurus vulgaris) in Britain by outcompeting them for food and habitat. They are larger, and stronger, and resistant to squirrel pox virus, while reds are not. About 3 million now live in the UK; the International Union for Conservation of Nature lists the grey squirrel among the top 100 most harmful invasive species in the world.
In Britain, significant efforts have been made to stop grey squirrels’ progress, including trapping, shooting, and releasing pine martens into their habitats. The latest move, a workable system for which was thought to be a decade away, is forbidding the breeding of grey squirrels. However, legal challenges brought so many delays that the invasive grey squirrels. population expanded to an unmanageable level and wiping out was abandoned. The main issue in Britain was thought to be more technological than legal — designing a drug that targets only grey squirrels to prevent them breeding. Another possibility in the years ahead is to use DNA editing to ensure grey females are born unable to give birth.
Obviously, there is a hint of xenophobia (仇外) in some discussions about the introduction of grey squirrels to Britain nearly 150 years ago which has had an impact on the local ecosystem, posing a threat to native species. It’s also worth noting that reds — which also tear bark and take eggs — were seen as pests until the early 1930s, and extensively killed. There is, too, a strong argument that ecosystems evolve naturally, and it may be impractical and unrealistic to intervenes or even resist it. The attraction of controlling the breeding of the grey squirrels is that it is less inhumane, and aims for balance rather than uprooting.
33．What does the author focus on in paragraph one
A．The harm of grey squirrels.
B．The cutting habits of grey squirrels.
C．The effect of grey squirrels on the wood industry.

When I stepped into my sister’s house, I could feel the tension among the family members. My nephew was complaining that current allowances are insufficient to cover his expenses and questioning why he cannot be trusted. Financial literacy (素养) is a totally new word to his parents and, in their mind, parents are supposed to be extremely tight on kids’ money.
As raised in a traditional way, we are constantly told to spend a fixed amount of money in a particular period, with everything arranged. The lack of financial literacy among teens is mainly due to the fear of losing control, which has overshadowed the importance of introducing genuine ideas that can promote independence and responsibility tied to financial autonomy (自主). This mindset implies that if you just follow the parents plan, seemingly you succeed m managing your money. Still, each year heartbreaking news about college students who are involved in unaffordable debt keep popping up.
Having financial literacy, however, have more benefits than expected. At best, teens with self-discipline would appreciate the trust and make informed financial decisions. Ever at worst, the cost of making mistakes in teenage years is relatively low and committing the mistakes honestly may open the door to some constructive feedback and financial tips.
True financial literacy isn’t simply about carrying out a strict or loose strategy on spending but teaching teenagers to differentiate between necessity and desire, and making wise choices. But managed properly, both bread and Air Jordan shoes can be obtained. With Air Jordan shoes ahead, the difficulty in making and saving money makes us appreciate the value of efforts. Budgeting, planning for your expenses, help you make decisions of consequence and resist temptations.
Once teens demonstrate responsible management of cash-based expenses, it is time to consider upgrading. However, teens may not be fully equipped to travel in the complex financial landscape without enough supervision and support. After all, financial autonomy comes with responsibilities.
37．What is the function of mentioning the author’s nephew
A．To explain a difficult concept. B．To draw a persuasive conclusion.
C．To give a reasonable prediction. D．To present a convincing example.
38．Why do we need financial literacy
A．It guarantees more control on money by parents.
B．It stresses the necessity of producing genuine ideas.
C．It helps generate independence and responsibilities.
D．It increases the risk of having unaffordable debt.
39．Which pair is similar to bread and Air Jordan shoes
A．Tasty dumplings and cheap stationery. B．Instant noodles and all-star game ticket.
C．Worn-out jeans and plain basketball cap. D．Latest electronic devices and rare goods.
40．What is the purpose of the passage
A．To motivate teens to have financial literacy skills.
B．To tell reasons why teens fail to manage their finance.
C．To teach teens how to spend money reasonably and wisely.
D．To analyze the pros and cons of having financial autonomy.
How colour psychology influences your dinner party guests
After spending hours cooking and preparing the table setting for your guests, you hope that everyone enjoys your recipes. But it’s not all about the quality of the ingredients and the skills of the cook. 41 Whether it is a plate, a glass, a bowl or a cup, colour makes a significant impact on your guests.
42 After that first impression, the brain integrates the visual information and affects perception(认知), making you think that the same food is excellent, good or average. Thus, the goal for dinner parties is to ensure that the food looks pleasing to the eye, so your guests will think it tastes as good as it looks.
Bowl colour influences the desirability of food for picky eaters, as well as the perception of saltiness. Picky eaters tend to perceive meals in red and blue bowls as saltier compared to white. And they are more unwilling to try new food in a red bowl. 43
You can never go wrong with a white plate. Just avoid it when the food served is pale. For desserts, white is ideal because it increases flavors and enhances sweetness. 44 Serving food in a black bowl can increase perceptions of its saltiness and portion size.
To bring extra aesthetic(审美的)appeal, creativity and to highlight foods lacking in colour, you can serve your meal on bright plates. But be careful! 45 Similar ingredient colors to the tableware make everything integrate together and your guests think they have less food.
A．It starts with your sight.
B．But the result of dark plates can vary a little.
C．However, the rules of colour may not apply to all.
D．Besides, colourful plates are preferred by choosy eaters.
E．Food should only look more vivid depending on the meal.
F．The tableware is also an essential element, especially the colour.
G．So, for demanding guests, choose the colour of the tableware first.

【解析】33．主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Grey squirrels are also fond of the occasional bird’s eggs or the young birds, and enjoy tearing and eating the bark of young broadleaf trees, which can either kill the trees or leave them open to infection.

36．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The attraction of controlling the breeding of the grey squirrels is that it is less inhumane, and aims for balance rather than uprooting. (控制灰松鼠繁殖的吸引力在于，它不那么不人道，而且旨在达到平衡，而不是根除。)”可知，作者对控制灰松鼠的繁殖持赞成态度。故选项。

【分析】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了青少年财务素养的重要性，以及如何通过培养财务素养来促进青少年的独立性和责任感。
【解析】37．推理判断题。根据第一段“My nephew was complaining that current allowances are insufficient to cover his expenses and questioning why he cannot be trusted. Financial literacy (素养) is a totally new word to his parents(我的侄子抱怨说，目前的零花钱不足以支付他的开销，还质疑为什么自己不被信任。对他父母而言，“财务素养” 完全是个陌生的概念)”可知，文章开头提到作者侄子抱怨零花钱不够花,以及对父母金钱管理方式的质疑，是为了引出和解释“财务素养” 这一相对抽象的概念，通过生活中具体的事例，让读者更容易理解这一概念，所以其作用是解释一个难理解的概念。故选A项。
38．细节理解题。根据第二段“The lack of financial literacy among teens is mainly due to the fear of losing control, which has overshadowed the importance of introducing genuine ideas that can promote independence and responsibility tied to financial autonomy (自主).(青少年缺乏财务素养主要是由于害怕失去控制，这掩盖了引入能够促进与财务自主相关的独立性和责任感的真实想法的重要性)”可知，我们需要财务素养是因为它有助于培养独立性和责任感。故选C项。
39．推理判断题。根据第四段“True financial literacy isn’t simply about carrying out a strict or loose strategy on spending but teaching teenagers to differentiate between necessity and desire, and making wise choices. But managed properly, both bread and Air Jordan shoes can be obtained.(真正的财务素养不仅仅是关于执行严格或宽松的支出策略，而是教青少年区分需求和欲望，并做出明智的选择。但如果管理得当，面包和飞人乔丹鞋都可以得到)”可知，面包是必需品，而飞人乔丹鞋是奢侈品，作者用这两者来代表生活中的必需品和奢侈品。因此，我们需要找到一对物品，其中一个代表必需品，另一个代表奢侈品。B选项“方便面(必需品)和全明星赛门票(奢侈品)”符合这一模式。故选B项。
40．推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章开篇通过描述作者侄子抱怨零花钱不够且质疑不被信任的事例，引出青少年缺乏财务素养这一现象。接着在第二段探讨了青少年缺乏财务素养的主要原因是害怕失去控制，从而忽视了培养与之相关的独立性和责任感。第三段阐述了具备财务素养的好处，比如让自律的青少年能做出明智财务决策，即使犯错成本也相对较低，还能获得建设性反馈。第四段指出真正的财务素养是教导青少年区分需求和欲望并做出明智选择。最后强调青少年在走向财务自主过程中需要监督和支持。综合全文来看，文章全面且深入地分析了青少年拥有财务自主（即具备财务素养）过程中的利与弊。故选D项。

【解析】41．上文“But it’s not all about the quality of the ingredients and the skills of the cook.(但这并不完全取决于食材的质量和厨师的技巧。)”和下文“Whether it is a plate, a glass, a bowl or a cup, colour makes a significant impact on your guests.(无论是盘子、玻璃杯、碗还是杯子，颜色都会对你的客人产生重大影响。)”说明除了菜肴的质量，餐具的颜色也会对客人产生影响。选项F“餐具也是必不可少的元素，尤其是颜色。”起到过渡作用，承上启下。故选F项。

43．上文“Picky eaters tend to perceive meals in red and blue bowls as saltier compared to white. And they are more unwilling to try new food in a red bowl.(挑剔的食客往往认为红色和蓝色碗里的食物比白色碗里的更咸。他们更不愿意尝试红碗里的新食物。)”说明针对挑剔的客人要挑选好餐具的颜色，选项G“因此，对于要求苛刻的客人，请先选择餐具的颜色。”承接上文，是对上文的总结。故选G项。
44．上文“For desserts, white is ideal because it increases flavors and enhances sweetness.(对于甜点来说，白色是理想的，因为它能增加味道和甜味。)”与下文“Serving food in a black bowl can increase perceptions of its saltiness and portion size.(用黑色碗盛食物可以增加人们对其咸味和份量的感知。)”存在转折的关系，空处应用表示转折的逻辑关系，选项B“但暗色的盘子结果可能会有所不同。”表示转折关系，承上启下。故选B项。
45．上文“To bring extra aesthetic(审美的)appeal, creativity and to highlight foods lacking in colour, you can serve your meal on bright plates. But be careful!(为了带来额外的审美吸引力、创造力和突出缺乏颜色的食物，你可以用明亮的盘子上菜。但是要小心!)”说明用明亮的盘子上菜，可以带来审美吸引力和创造力并突出缺乏颜色的食物，但是要小心，下文与上文构成转折关系，明确要小心的内容。选项E“食物只能取决于食物的不同看起来更生动。”承接上文，说明了要小心的内容，同时引出下文“Similar ingredient colors to the tableware make everything integrate together and your guests think they have less food.(与餐具相似的食材颜色使所有东西都融合在一起，你的客人会认为他们的食物更少。)”进一步解释说明要小心的内容。故选E项。
