　　（2024·常州高一下质检）I’m a student in my third year at Robert Gordon University， but I also work 35 hours a week at Sainsbury’s to make ends meet.
　　I constantly have to force myself to stay awake， and to be alert， whatever it takes.The work I do at Sainsbury’s is very physical like stacking shelves.I am lucky because the amount I lift at work is nothing compared with the weight I lift in the gym.I know I have the strength to bear it.
　　I am originally from Nigeria.I came here when I was seven.Money was always tight.My parents gave me everything I needed， but there was no money for luxuries.I worked hard at school though and， with the help of professors， I got the best A-level grades in my class.
　　Unfortunately， though I had applied for “settled” British residential status， the Home Office waited until I was in sixth form to approve my application.That meant I was not eligible for a student loan.The only way I could afford to go to university was that I got a job that would pay for all my living costs and my parents paid for my tuition fees.
　　I don’t have much time to socialize because of my job.Ideally， I’d like to have more time to study so I can excel at my course.Yes， I have a lot on my plate， but working hard isn’t new for me.Growing up， my parents cultivated in me the importance of working hard for what I want in life.
　　My dream is to get a job in the National Health Service.But now， I’m just focused on trying to get the best grades I can.Whenever I find life hard， I tell myself this is about my future.
4.Why does the author work long hours and sometimes overtime every week？ （　　）

5.What does the underlined word “eligible” in Paragraph 4 refer to？ （　　）
A.Responsible.　　　　　B.Anxious.

B.God helps those who help themselves.
C.A penny saved is a penny earned.
D.Where there is life， there is hope.
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
　　（2024·烟台高一下月考）Many people think that if they can earn a lot of money and just reach that financial target， their problems will be solved.　8　
　　You may think that once you reach that financial target， you’ll feel like you’ve made it.Wrong.Instead， you’ll want more.It’s never enough.　9　 Money isn’t a destination； it’s a tool.It’s a means to buy clothes， food， cars， and other things that you want or need.
　　You may look at wealthy people and think I wish I were them.But if you think money will give you confidence or make you feel more complete， think again.Tom Bilyeu， the co-founder of Quest Nutrition，says， “Money is powerful.　10　 If you’re not proud of who you are， money won’t change that.If you don’t believe in yourself， money will fail you there， too.”
　　If all you’re interested in is money， you won’t be motivated （有积极性的） enough to deal with the challenges you will meet on your journey.　11　 According to Steve Taylor， Ph.D.， author of Out of the Darkness， purpose is an important part of a satisfying life.
　　Pursuing a passion can be more profitable in the long run.Doing what you love allows you to be creative and fills you up with energy.　12　 By pursuing a passion， you’ll be more satisfied and make as much or more money than someone pursuing income.
A.You need a purpose.
B.It’s the same as money.
C.Don’t be mistaken — money is necessary.
D.But it can’t change the way you feel about yourself.
E.That’s because having money as a goal won’t fill you up.
F.You actually end up working more because it doesn’t feel like work.
G.Unfortunately， pursuing money alone won’t bring you happiness or satisfaction.
Section Ⅰ　Listening and Speaking
Ⅰ.
语篇解读：本文是一篇应用文。文章简要介绍了一项艺术比赛，包括其主题、规则、提交方式、截止日期以及奖品等信息，旨在邀请符合条件的青少年艺术家参与，并鼓励他们使用丰富的颜色来创作艺术作品。
1.B　细节理解题。根据第一段中的This contest requires your art to be made out of a wide variety of colours.You should use different colours even for your outlines and shading.可知，这一要求清楚地表明比赛专注于色彩的使用。
2.A　细节理解题。根据Guidelines and Details部分中的Your entry must be a character created by yourself.可知，所有参赛作品必须是参赛者自己创作的角色。
3.C　细节理解题。根据Prizes部分中的Winners and honorable mentions will have their works published in Teen Ink magazine.可知，荣誉奖获得者的作品将在Teen Ink杂志上发表。
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者是一名大学三年级的学生，他每周要工作35个小时来保持收支平衡。每当他发现生活艰难时，他都会告诉自己要为未来而拼搏。
4.A　细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句可知，作者上得起大学的唯一方法是找一份能支付所有生活费用的工作，而作者的父母支付他的学费。由此可知，作者每周要工作很长时间，有时还要加班是为了自己支付生活费用。
5.C　词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句上句可知，不幸的是，尽管作者申请了“定居”英国的居住身份，但英国内政部一直等到作者上六年级时才批准了申请。由此可知，作者不符合学生贷款的资格。所以画线词eligible意为“合格的，有资格的”。
6.C　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段第一句可知，因为作者的工作，作者没有太多的时间去社交。由此可推知，作者并不是一个善于社交的人。
7.B　主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了作者每周要工作35个小时来保持收支平衡，一边打工一边上学，并取得优异成绩的故事。作者这种不懈努力的行为体现了“自助者天助”。
Ⅱ.
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。作者认为一味追求金钱不会让你快乐和满足。
8.G　空前讲述许多人认为一旦实现了自己的经济目标，那生活中的问题自然迎刃而解。下文几段讲述钱并不是万能的，它不会让你满足，不会让你改变自我认识，也不会促使你积极面对挑战。由此可推断，此处应描述“钱也有它的局限性”。故G项符合语境。
9.E　空前讲述即使你实现了自己的经济目标，你依然不会满足。根据空后的Money isn’t a destination； it’s a tool.可知，设空处应该解释你不满足的原因，故E项符合语境，E项中的won’t fill you up与空前的you’ll want more相呼应。
10.D　空前提到钱的作用很大；空后通过举例说明钱不会让你改变自我认识。故D项符合语境，D项中的it指代空前的Money， can’t change与本空后的won’t change及fail相呼应。
11.A　根据本段内容可知，此处应讲述你不应该一味追求金钱，而应该有人生目标，活得有意义，故A项符合语境。
12.F　空前提到从事自己热爱的工作能让你创意十足，精力充沛；空后讲述从事自己热爱的工作比只追求收入能让你更满足，能赚一样多或者更多的钱。由此可知，设空处内容应与“从事自己热爱的工作”或“追求自己热爱的东西”相关，故F项符合语境。

　　（2024·常州高一下质检）I’m a student in my third year at Robert
Gordon University， but I also work 35 hours a week at Sainsbury’s to
make ends meet.
　　I constantly have to force myself to stay awake， and to be alert，
whatever it takes.The work I do at Sainsbury’s is very physical like
stacking shelves.I am lucky because the amount I lift at work is nothing
compared with the weight I lift in the gym.I know I have the strength to
bear it.
　　I am originally from Nigeria.I came here when I was seven.Money
was always tight.My parents gave me everything I needed， but there was
no money for luxuries.I worked hard at school though and， with the help
of professors， I got the best A-level grades in my class.
　　Unfortunately， though I had applied for “settled” British
residential status， the Home Office waited until I was in sixth form to
approve my application.That meant I was not eligible for a student
loan.The only way I could afford to go to university was that I got a job
that would pay for all my living costs and my parents paid for my tuition fees.
　　I don’t have much time to socialize because of my job.Ideally，
I’d like to have more time to study so I can excel at my course.Yes， I
have a lot on my plate， but working hard isn’t new for me.Growing
up， my parents cultivated in me the importance of working hard for what
I want in life.
　　My dream is to get a job in the National Health Service.But now，
I’m just focused on trying to get the best grades I can.Whenever I find
life hard， I tell myself this is about my future.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者是一名大学三年级的学生，他
每周要工作35个小时来保持收支平衡。每当他发现生活艰难时，他
都会告诉自己要为未来而拼搏。

4. Why does the author work long hours and sometimes overtime every
week？ （　　）
A. To pay for his own living expenses.
B. To pay for his tuition fees.
C. To prove his ability to earn money.
D. To help his parents pay off the debts.
解析：　细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句可知，作者上得起大
学的唯一方法是找一份能支付所有生活费用的工作，而作者的父母
支付他的学费。由此可知，作者每周要工作很长时间，有时还要加
班是为了自己支付生活费用。
5. What does the underlined word “eligible” in Paragraph 4 refer to？
（　　）
A. Responsible. B. Anxious.
C. Qualified. D. Accessible.
解析：　词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句上句可知，不幸的是，
尽管作者申请了“定居”英国的居住身份，但英国内政部一直等到
作者上六年级时才批准了申请。由此可知，作者不符合学生贷款的
资格。所以画线词eligible意为“合格的，有资格的”。
6. Which of the following can NOT be used to describe the author？ （　　）
A. Persistent. B. Diligent.
C. Sociable. D. Ambitious.
解析：　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段第一句可知，因为作者的
工作，作者没有太多的时间去社交。由此可推知，作者并不是一个
善于社交的人。
7. Which proverb can best summarize the passage？（　　）
A. Actions speak louder than words.
B. God helps those who help themselves.
C. A penny saved is a penny earned.
D. Where there is life， there is hope.
解析：　主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了作者每周要工作35个小时
来保持收支平衡，一边打工一边上学，并取得优异成绩的故事。作
者这种不懈努力的行为体现了“自助者天助”。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
　　（2024·烟台高一下月考）Many people think that if they can earn a
lot of money and just reach that financial target， their problems will be
solved. 　8　
　　You may think that once you reach that financial target， you’ll feel
like you’ve made it.Wrong.Instead， you’ll want more.It’s never
enough. 　9　 Money isn’t a destination； it’s a tool.It’s a means to
buy clothes， food， cars， and other things that you want or need.
　　You may look at wealthy people and think I wish I were them.But if
you think money will give you confidence or make you feel more
complete， think again.Tom Bilyeu， the co-founder of Quest
Nutrition，says， “Money is powerful. 　10　 If you’re not proud of
who you are， money won’t change that.If you don’t believe in
yourself， money will fail you there， too.”
　　If all you’re interested in is money， you won’t be motivated （有
积极性的） enough to deal with the challenges you will meet on your
journey. 　11　 According to Steve Taylor， Ph.D. ， author of Out of
the Darkness， purpose is an important part of a satisfying life.
　　Pursuing a passion can be more profitable in the long run.Doing what
you love allows you to be creative and fills you up with energy. 　12　 By
pursuing a passion， you’ll be more satisfied and make as much or more
money than someone pursuing income.
A. You need a purpose.
B. It’s the same as money.
C. Don’t be mistaken — money is necessary.
D. But it can’t change the way you feel about yourself.
E. That’s because having money as a goal won’t fill you up.
F. You actually end up working more because it doesn’t feel like work.
G. Unfortunately， pursuing money alone won’t bring you happiness or
satisfaction.
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。作者认为一味追求金钱不会让你快
乐和满足。
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。作者认为一味追求金钱不会让你快
乐和满足。
8. G　空前讲述许多人认为一旦实现了自己的经济目标，那生活中的
问题自然迎刃而解。下文几段讲述钱并不是万能的，它不会让你满
足，不会让你改变自我认识，也不会促使你积极面对挑战。由此可推
断，此处应描述“钱也有它的局限性”。故G项符合语境。
9. E　空前讲述即使你实现了自己的经济目标，你依然不会满足。根
据空后的Money isn’t a destination； it’s a tool.可知，设空处应该解
释你不满足的原因，故E项符合语境，E项中的won’t fill you up与空
前的you’ll want more相呼应。
10. D　空前提到钱的作用很大；空后通过举例说明钱不会让你改变
自我认识。故D项符合语境，D项中的it指代空前的Money， can’t
change与本空后的won’t change及fail相呼应。
11. A　根据本段内容可知，此处应讲述你不应该一味追求金钱，而
应该有人生目标，活得有意义，故A项符合语境。
12. F　空前提到从事自己热爱的工作能让你创意十足，精力充沛；空
后讲述从事自己热爱的工作比只追求收入能让你更满足，能赚一样多
或者更多的钱。由此可知，设空处内容应与“从事自己热爱的工作”
或“追求自己热爱的东西”相关，故F项符合语境。
谢谢观看！
