Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Working at a bank in New York City in the mid-2010s, Anna Sacks was living the life — just not the life she wanted. Sure, she was happy. But she wanted to do something that felt important and was fulfilling on a deeper level.
Some people seeking meaning might read a self-help book or perhaps volunteer a few hours a week. Sacks packed up her life and moved to Connecticut for three months to participate in Adamah, a Jewish farming program that focuses on sustainable (可持续的) living and growing sustainable food. She returned to New York with a new purpose and a variety of new skills to make her dreams a reality.
“One of the things that really stuck with me from Adamah, which means ‘Earth’ in Hebrew, was how they handled the waste they had, primarily through composting (堆肥),” she says. “And I just thought, ‘Why aren’t we doing that here?’”
The Adamah program opened Sacks' eyes to the damage that consumer culture is doing on a local, national, and global level, and the need to find solutions. So in 2016, she took a master composting course and started working with a food rescue program, which she named “trash walking”.
During walks around her neighborhood, Sacks, 31, picked through garbage to look for reusable items. Soon, her trash walks expanded to include company trash cans along with residential trash. Surprisingly, she discovered a wide range of really great stuff — like clothing, decorations, plates and food.
Sacks' main focus is simply getting people to pay attention to how many unnecessary things they buy and then throw away. “Once you become conscious of the way you consume, you can see ways you improve,” she says.
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。在银行工作的女孩Anna Sacks为寻求更有意义的生活,参加了一个名为Adamah的项目,因此关注到了消费文化的不良影响,并为此寻找解决措施。

1.Why did Sacks participate in the program Adamah
A.She was concerned about her job.
B.She intended to do volunteer work.
C.She preferred a more meaningful life.
D.She expected to learn living skills.
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段前两句可知,一些人寻求意义的方式是读一本书或做志愿者,而Sacks则去参加了一个犹太农业项目Adamah。由此可知,参加这个项目也是她寻求更有意义的生活的方式。

2.What impressed Sacks most about the program Adamah
A.The way they dealt with the waste.
B.The sustainable food they produced.
C.The importance they placed on farming.
D.The modern lifestyle they stuck to.
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段“One of the things that really stuck with me from Adamah, ...was how they handled the waste they had ...”可知,令她印象深刻的是这个项目处理废料的方式。
3.Which of the following best describes Sacks
A.A farmer.       B.A doer.
C.A follower. D.A dreamer.
解析:推理判断题。根据第四段的内容可知,Sacks是一个行动力很强的人,她通过Adamah项目了解到消费文化造成的危害,很快就开始为找到应对措施付出行动,因此可以称得上是实干家。

4.What does Sacks suggest people do
A.Take part in trash walking.
B.Reflect on consumption patterns.
C.Stop throwing away things.
D.Avoid buying new items.
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句可知, Sacks想让人们关注他们自己的不良消费:买不必要的东西然后扔掉它们,这实际上就是希望人们能够反思自己的消费模式。

B
If we look around us at the things we have purchased at some point in our lives, we would no doubt notice that not everything we own is being put to good use: the thick woolen coat which we thought looked trendy despite the fact that we live in a tropical country, the smartphone that got put away when we bought ourselves the newest model, or even the guest room in our house that somehow got turned into a storeroom.
Those underutilized (未充分使用的) items may seem useless to some, but could be of value to others.With the occurrence of the Internet, online communities have figured out a way to generate profit from the sharing of those underused property.Using websites and social media groups that facilitate the buying and selling of second-hand goods, it is now easier than ever for peer-to-peer sharing activities to take place.And this is known as the sharing economy.
These popular online platforms are providing a chance for people to make a quick fortune.To give an example, busy parents previously might not have bothered with setting up a stall at the local market to sell their children's old equipment, but with online marketplaces, parents are now able to sell on those hardly worn baby clothes that their children have outgrown so as to put some cash back into their pockets.
Businesses have also caught on to the profitability of the sharing economy and are seeking to gain from making use of those underutilized resources.Some companies act as a middleman for people to cash in on their unused rooms and houses and let them out as profitable accommodation.Another company encourages people to use their own personal cars as taxis to make some extra cash in their free time.
This move towards a sharing economy is not without criticisms. Unlike businesses, unregulated individuals do not have to follow certain regulations and this can lead to poorer and inconsistent quality of goods and services and a higher risk of fraud.Nevertheless, in the consumerist society we live in today, the increased opportunities to sell on our unwanted and underused goods can lead to a lesser impact on our environment.
语篇解读:本文是一篇新闻报道。随着网络和社交平台的发展,共享经济随之出现,这使得售卖东西更容易,但是共享经济有弊有利。
5.Why can people now sell things more easily
A.People nowadays buy more things.
B.Businesses want to buy the things they don't use.
C.There are now more market stalls.
D.There are now online platforms to do business.
解析:细节理解题。由第二段“Using websites and social media groups that ...for peer-to-peer sharing activities to take place”可知,在线交易平台使得售卖东西变得更容易。


6.Which of these is something that we might underutilize
A.Thick coat in a cold country.
B.Clothes our babies don't or can't wear any more.
C.The latest smartphone.
D.The storeroom in our house.
解析:细节理解题。由第三段“but with online marketplaces, parents are ...so as to put some cash back into their pockets.”可知,孩子穿不了的婴儿衣服能在网络上销售,所以B选项“我们的孩子不穿或不能再穿的衣服”可能没有被充分利用。

7.It might be a problem for unregulated individuals to sell to others because ______.
A.what they sell might be of a lower quality
B.they have to follow certain regulations
C.they don't have a business license
D.they like to criticize their buyers
解析:细节理解题。由最后一段“Unlike businesses,unregulated individuals ...and services and a higher risk of fraud.”可知,对于不受监管的个人来说,向他人推销商品可能会产生相关的问题,因为他们卖的东西的质量可能比较差。

8.What might be a good title for this article
A.The consumerist society
B.Parents who need money
C.The rise of the sharing economy
D.Why we buy things we don't need
解析:标题归纳题。短文主要是围绕着“共享经济的兴起”而展开的。故短文最佳的标题为“共享经济的兴起”。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Many teenagers often get pocket money from their family and loved ones. 9 , it's crucial to approach the wealth with wisdom and foresight.
____. Take the time to assess the total amount of money you have received and allocate it wisely. By creating a budget you can prioritize your spending, distinguish between needs and wants, and make informed decisions about where your money should go.
10
Also, it's essential to cultivate the habit of saving. Resist the temptation to spend your entire windfall in one go. 11 . Whether it's for future goals, emergencies, or long-term financial security, consistent saving can have a profound impact on your financial well-being.
Before you buy anything, think twice. 12 . Ask yourself if it agrees with your values and long-term goals. By practicing restraint and making intentional decisions, you can avoid unnecessary regrets and ensure that your pocket money is put to good use.
Strike a balance between enjoying the present and preparing for the future. While it's important to fully enjoy the pleasures that come with having extra pocket money, don't lose sight of the bigger picture. 13 .
Lastly, seek guidance from trusted adults or financial mentors. They can provide valuable insights and offer personalized advice. Don't hesitate to ask for help when it comes to managing your wealth responsibly.
A.Pause and reflect on each purchase

G.Use this financial windfall as an opportunity to establish healthy financial habits and lay the groundwork for your long-term financial success
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了青少年如何规划和安排自己的财务。
9.选F 根据上文“许多青少年经常从他们的家人和亲人那里得到零花钱。”以及下文“用智慧和远见来处理这笔财富是至关重要的。”可知,空处承接上下文,说明要管理自己的钱。故F选项“当涉及管理你可能收到的大量零花钱时”切题。
10.选C 本段主要说明了如何制定预算,故C选项“设定预算是至关重要的”符合语境,C选项中的budget对应后文中的budget。
11.选D 根据上文“此外,培养储蓄的习惯也很重要”以及“不要一次性花光你所有的意外之财”可知,空处承接上文,说明要把钱存起来。D选项“相反,留出一部分零花钱作为储蓄”切题,呼应本段主旨句。
12.选A 根据上文“在你买东西之前,要三思而行”可知,空处与上文话题一致,说的都是买东西时要三思。故A选项“停下来并反思每一次购买”符合文意。
13.选G 根据上文“虽然充分享受额外零花钱带来的快乐很重要,但不要忽视大局。”可知,空处承接上文,说明这笔钱对于将来的重要作用。故G选项“利用这笔意外之财来建立健康的理财习惯,为你的长期理财成功打下基础”切题。4 / 4

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了青少年如何规划和安排自己的财务。
9.选F 根据上文“许多青少年经常从他们的家人和亲人那里得到零花钱。”以及下文“用智慧和远见来处理这笔财富是至关重要的。”可知,空处承接上下文,说明要管理自己的钱。故F选项“当涉及管理你可能收到的大量零花钱时”切题。
10.选C 本段主要说明了如何制定预算,故C选项“设定预算是至关重要的”符合语境,C选项中的budget对应后文中的budget。
11.选D 根据上文“此外,培养储蓄的习惯也很重要”以及“不要一次性花光你所有的意外之财”可知,空处承接上文,说明要把钱存起来。D选项“相反,留出一部分零花钱作为储蓄”切题,呼应本段主旨句。
12.选A 根据上文“在你买东西之前,要三思而行”可知,空处与上文话题一致,说的都是买东西时要三思。故A选项“停下来并反思每一次购买”符合文意。
13.选G 根据上文“虽然充分享受额外零花钱带来的快乐很重要,但不要忽视大局。”可知,空处承接上文,说明这笔钱对于将来的重要作用。故G选项“利用这笔意外之财来建立健康的理财习惯,为你的长期理财成功打下基础”切题。
