Ⅰ.阅读理解
The other weekend I went to the mall in search of a new pair of tennis shoes.When I arrived at the mall， the stores were crowded.Apparently， none of these shoppers had read Van Boven’s 2005 review article highlighting the benefits of spending money on experiences over material goods.
When surveying various cultures to determine what makes people happy， researchers kept finding that having more didn’t equate （等同） to being happier.And people who try to have more are， in fact， less satisfied.But it seems this is only true if you are spending your money to buy “things” rather than “memories”.
Why is money spent to create memories better spent？ In his review article， Van Boven explains why experiential purchases make us happier：
You got a raise， your co-worker got a bigger one.You bought a new house， your neighbour built a bigger one.On the other hand， Van Boven suggests that experiences are more personal and unique， and thus harder to compare.When people are asked whether they’d prefer to live in a world where they earned 50，000 a year while others earned 25，000 or a world where they earned 100，000 while others earned 200，000， about half of the people prefer to earn 50，000 if it means they earn more than everyone else.But when asked whether they’d prefer two weeks of vacation while everyone else got one， or four weeks while everyone else got eight， 85 percent of people preferred the four weeks even if other people got more.
People are generally engaging in experiences with others， whereas purchasing a new pair of boots is more likely to be a lonely affair.There is also something negative associated with being materialistic and researchers have found that people tend to prefer to interact with other people who are “experiential” than those who are “materialistic”.Engaging in an experience together can also help people create shared memories and connections.
1.What did the author think of those shoppers？（ ）
A.They were fond of materials. B.They were creating memories.
C.They should be taught by Van Boven. D.They had interest in Van Boven’s theory.
2.Why do people prefer to earn 50，000 instead of 100，000？（ ）
A.They seek better experiences. B.They don’t care about money.
C.They want to be better than others. D.They want to show their nobility of spirit.
3.What can we learn about materialistic purchases？（ ）
A.They are more private. B.They are easier to compare.
C.They offer us longer happiness. D.They offer us more satisfaction.
4.What’s the second benefit of experiential purchases？（ ）
A.They help us build relationships. B.They give us a sense of possession.
C.They give us a sense of achievement. D.They help us improve our social status.

In July 1976， the United States had a holiday.It was the two-hundredth anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.5.（ ） In New York City， there were fireworks， parades， and speeches.Right in the middle of it all stood that towering symbol of American freedom — the Statue of Liberty！
The statue’s real name is Liberty Enlightening the World， but it’s often called Lady Liberty or the Statue of Liberty.6.（ ） It’s made of copper and is mostly hollow， with a metal support structure inside and stairs so visitors can walk up into its crown.Today about four million people visit the Statue of Liberty every year.
Like the American flag， the statue is shown on army posters and on postage stamps.A picture of the torch is on the ten dollar bill.Advertisers have used it to sell everything from soap to hamburgers.7.（ ）

Surprisingly， the Statue of Liberty was not the United States’ idea.9.（ ） A French professor first proposed the idea， a French sculptor designed the statue， and a French engineer designed its inner framework.Americans were not even sure they wanted the statue at first.
A.It was a gift from the people of France.
B.The statue is huge — 151 feet and 1 inch tall.
C.They would cheer and sometimes cry with joy.
D.All over the country， towns and cities celebrated.
E.It is widely believed to be the gateway to America.
F.It’s one of the most well-known buildings in the world.

During my senior year of high school， I got a part-time job working at the local coffee shop.I had figured that the job would be easy and， for the most part， stress free.I pictured myself pouring the best gourmet coffees， making delicious doughnuts and becoming close friends with the regular customers.
What I hadn’t counted on were the people with enormous orders who chose to use the drive-thru window， or the women who felt that the coffee was much too creamy， or the men who wanted their iced coffees remade again and again until they reached a certain level of perfection.There were moments when I was angry with the human race as a whole， simply because I couldn’t seem to please anyone.There was always too much sugar， too little ice and not enough skim milk.Nevertheless， I kept at it.
One miserable rainy day， one of my regular customers came in looking depressed and defeated.My co-worker and I asked what the problem was and if we could help， but the customer wouldn’t reveal any details.I guessed something terrible had happened to him and I knew exactly how he felt.
Before he left， I handed him a bag along with his iced coffee.He looked at me questioningly because he hadn’t ordered anything but the coffee.He opened the bag and saw that I had given him his favourite type of doughnut.
“It’s on me，” I told him.“Have a nice day.”
He smiled and thanked me before turning around and heading back out into the rain.
The next day was miserable as well， rain spilling from the sky.Everyone in town seemed to be using the drive-thru window because no one wanted to brave the black skies or the thunder and lightning.
I spent my afternoon hanging out the window， handing people their orders and waiting as they slowly counted their pennies.I tried to smile as the customers complained about the weather.Around seven o’clock that evening， the customer from the day before drove up to the window.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式作答。
But instead of ordering anything， he handed me a single pink rose and a little note.
After a moment， he drove away with a friendly wave and I ran to the back of the shop to read the note.

But instead of ordering anything， he handed me a single pink rose and a little note.He said that not too many people take the time to care about others， and he was glad there were still people like me in the world.Actually， he lost his job yesterday and my kindness cheered him up.With the regained confidence and strength， he made up his mind to find another job.I was speechless and very touched； I nearly forgot yesterday’s deed.
After a moment， he drove away with a friendly wave and I ran to the back of the shop to read the note.It read，“Thanks for being so sweet， kind and thoughtful yesterday.I was sincerely touched by you.It is so nice to meet someone who’s genuinely nice， warm， and sensitive and unselfish.Have a great day！” It was at that moment that I realised even a small act of kindness can make a great difference to other people’s lives.From then on， I smiled at each and every customer and did whatever I could to bring some sunshine to their lives.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
The other weekend I went to the mall in search of a new pair of tennis
shoes.When I arrived at the mall， the stores were
crowded.Apparently， none of these shoppers had read Van Boven’s
2005 review article highlighting the benefits of spending money on
experiences over material goods.
When surveying various cultures to determine what makes people
happy， researchers kept finding that having more didn’t equate （等
同） to being happier.And people who try to have more are， in fact，
less satisfied.But it seems this is only true if you are spending your money
to buy “things” rather than “memories”.
Why is money spent to create memories better spent？ In his review
article， Van Boven explains why experiential purchases make us
happier：
You got a raise， your co-worker got a bigger one.You bought a new
house， your neighbour built a bigger one.On the other hand， Van
Boven suggests that experiences are more personal and unique， and thus
harder to compare.When people are asked whether they’d prefer to live
in a world where they earned 50，000 a year while others earned 25，
000 or a world where they earned 100，000 while others
earned 200，000， about half of the people prefer to earn 50，000 if
it means they earn more than everyone else. But when asked whether they’d prefer two weeks of vacation while everyone else got one， or four weeks while everyone else got eight， 85 percent of people preferred the four weeks even if other people got more.
People are generally engaging in experiences with others， whereas
purchasing a new pair of boots is more likely to be a lonely affair.There is
also something negative associated with being materialistic and researchers have found that people tend to prefer to interact with other
people who are “experiential” than those who are “materialistic”.
Engaging in an experience together can also help people create shared memories and connections.

钱花在经历上而不是物质上。

（ ）
A. They seek better experiences.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
In July 1976， the United States had a holiday.It was the two-
hundredth anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of
Independence.5.（ ） In New York City， there were fireworks，
parades， and speeches.Right in the middle of it all stood that towering
symbol of American freedom — the Statue of Liberty！
The statue’s real name is Liberty Enlightening the World， but
it’s often called Lady Liberty or the Statue of Liberty.6.（ ） It’s
made of copper and is mostly hollow， with a metal support structure
inside and stairs so visitors can walk up into its crown.Today about four
million people visit the Statue of Liberty every year.
Like the American flag， the statue is shown on army posters and on
postage stamps.A picture of the torch is on the ten dollar bill.Advertisers
have used it to sell everything from soap to hamburgers.7.（ ）
Since 1886， the statue has offered a message of hope to immigrants
coming to America.From the late 1800s into the 1900s， millions came
from other countries.Most were very poor and most came from
Europe.They crossed the Atlantic Ocean on steamships.As the majority of
those ships sailed into New York Harbor， one of the first landmarks they
saw was the Statue of Liberty.8.（ ） At last they had reached
America， land of liberty， where they hoped to start a new and better
life.
Surprisingly， the Statue of Liberty was not the United States’
idea.9.（ ） A French professor first proposed the idea， a French
sculptor designed the statue， and a French engineer designed its inner
framework.Americans were not even sure they wanted the statue at first.
A. It was a gift from the people of France.
B. The statue is huge — 151 feet and 1 inch tall.
C. They would cheer and sometimes cry with joy.
D. All over the country， towns and cities celebrated.
E. It is widely believed to be the gateway to America.
F. It’s one of the most well-known buildings in the world.
G. It has even had roles in movies such as Independence Day， and
Superman Ⅱ.

good， 25. there is something good in every day.”
Researchers are finding that 26. （thought） like

I have been fond of and good at writing since I was young.In one
Chinese class when I was in Grade Eight， the teacher advised me to
share my writing techniques with the other students.I was only too glad to
do so.I went to the platform and shared my views on how to write a good
composition.It turned out that my speech was such a great success that all
my classmates applauded warmly in the end.I felt a great sense of
achievement and satisfaction.
As the saying goes，“Sharing is caring.” When we are sharing，
not only are we caring about others， but we are also spreading
knowledge and positive energy to them.
Ⅵ.读后续写
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

During my senior year of high school， I got a part-time job working
at the local coffee shop.I had figured that the job would be easy and， for
the most part， stress free.I pictured myself pouring the best gourmet
coffees， making delicious doughnuts and becoming close friends with
the regular customers.
What I hadn’t counted on were the people with enormous orders
who chose to use the drive-thru window， or the women who felt that the coffee was much too creamy， or the men who wanted their iced coffees remade again and again until they reached a certain level of perfection.There were moments when I was angry with the human race as a whole， simply because I couldn’t seem to please anyone.There was always too much sugar， too little ice and not enough skim milk.Nevertheless， I kept at it.
One miserable rainy day， one of my regular customers came in
looking depressed and defeated.My co-worker and I asked what the
problem was and if we could help， but the customer wouldn’t reveal
any details.I guessed something terrible had happened to him and I knew
exactly how he felt.
Before he left， I handed him a bag along with his iced coffee.He
looked at me questioningly because he hadn’t ordered anything but the
coffee.He opened the bag and saw that I had given him his favourite type
of doughnut.
“It’s on me，” I told him.“Have a nice day.”
He smiled and thanked me before turning around and heading back
out into the rain.
The next day was miserable as well， rain spilling from the
sky.Everyone in town seemed to be using the drive-thru window because
no one wanted to brave the black skies or the thunder and lightning.
I spent my afternoon hanging out the window， handing people their
orders and waiting as they slowly counted their pennies.I tried to smile as
the customers complained about the weather.Around seven o’clock that
evening， the customer from the day before drove up to the window.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
But instead of ordering anything， he handed me a single pink
rose and a little note.
After a moment， he drove away with a friendly wave and I ran to
the back of the shop to read the note.
参考范文：
But instead of ordering anything， he handed me a single pink rose
and a little note.He said that not too many people take the time to care
about others， and he was glad there were still people like me in the
world.Actually， he lost his job yesterday and my kindness cheered him
up.With the regained confidence and strength， he made up his mind to
find another job.I was speechless and very touched； I nearly forgot
yesterday’s deed.
After a moment， he drove away with a friendly wave and I ran to
the back of the shop to read the note.It read，“Thanks for being so
sweet， kind and thoughtful yesterday.I was sincerely touched by you.It
is so nice to meet someone who’s genuinely nice， warm， and
sensitive and unselfish.Have a great day！” It was at that moment that I
realised even a small act of kindness can make a great difference to other
people’s lives.From then on， I smiled at each and every customer and
did whatever I could to bring some sunshine to their lives.
