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.
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.

　　阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
　　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；

But instead of ordering anything， he handed me a single pink rose and a little note.

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。研究表明，将金钱花在经历性质的活动上要比花在物质上给我们带来的幸福感更多。
1.A　推理判断题。根据第一段可知，作者认为商场里的这些购物者没读过Van Boven的文章，而Van Boven的文章建议人们将金钱花在经历上而不是物质上。
2.C　细节理解题。根据第四段可知，这些人之所以选择5万美元，是因为周围的人都挣2.5万美元。
3.B　细节理解题。根据第四段可知，经历性消费比物质性消费更加个人、更加独特，也更加难以比较。
4.A　推理判断题。最后一段告诉我们经历性消费的第二个好处，那就是有助于我们加强人际交往并建立与他人的美好回忆。
Ⅱ.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章简要介绍了美国的标志性建筑——自由女神像。
5.D　上下文都在介绍美国的一次庆典——纪念《独立宣言》签署200周年，故D项符合语境。
6.B　本段介绍了自由女神像在构造等方面的一些细节，故B项符合语境。
7.G　本段主要介绍了自由女神像的广泛影响，G项是其影响的一个具体例证，符合语境。
8.C　本段介绍了18世纪末到19世纪欧洲等地人们移民到美国的情景，C项是他们刚到美国看到自由女神像时的反应，符合语境。
9.A　上句说建自由女神像不是美国人的主意，A项承接上文，说明它是法国人的杰作。
Ⅲ.
语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。Randy一直对作者不友好，但是作者总是以德报怨。最后作者终于感化了Randy，还和Randy成了朋友。
10.B　根据下文可知，Randy不喜欢作者，但是作者不知道问题出在哪里。
11.C　因为Randy不喜欢作者，所以他说的肯定是令作者不愉快的话。
12.C　根据语境可知，作者本来想打那个人，但是又控制住了自己的情绪。前后两句之间存在转折关系。
13.C　作者无论何时遭到那个人的侮辱，都会努力以友好的方式回应。
14.B　这里表示作者面对侮辱时的回应方式。in return意为“作为对……回报或回应”。
15.A　根据语境可知，作者相信这个事情最终会解决的。work out意为“解决；找到……的答案”。
16.D　根据下文可知，事情的发展发生了变化，Randy开始对作者友好起来。
17.A　这里表示作者不愿配合Randy的游戏，也就是说无论Randy怎么侮辱，作者就是不生气、不反抗。
18.B　根据上文可知，Randy一直在侮辱和伤害作者。

20.A　根据下文的I’m also sure可知，作者相信如果自己跟Randy对抗，他们就不会成为朋友。

22.A　我们无法控制别人怎样对待我们。
23.B　我们唯一能控制的是用自己的方式应对发生在我们身上的事。

Ⅳ.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要告诉我们积极心态的重要性。
25.but　根据语境可知，上下句存在转折关系，故填but。
26.thoughts　thought为可数名词且这里表达复数概念，故填thoughts。
27.what　根据语境可知，influences为谓语动词，因此前面需要一个主语或主语从句。这里what引导一个主语从句，并在该从句中作主语。
28.facing　本句主语为we，“面对”是一个主动发出的动作，因此应用动词-ing形式，这里的When facing相当于When we are facing。
29.healthier　前面的lower、 less和better暗示后面应用形容词的比较级。
30.greatly　这里应用一个副词来修饰动词improve，故填greatly。
31.learned/learnt　根据下文可知，这里是在叙述过去发生的事，因此应用一般过去时。
32.happiness　介词for后面需要接名词，故填happiness。
33.with　surround ...with ...是固定搭配，表示“以……包围……”，故填with。
34.has been　根据后面的时间状语for 12 years可知，这里应用现在完成时。

　　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.
　　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.

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.
解析：　推理判断题。根据第一段可知，作者认为商场里的这些
购物者没读过Van Boven的文章，而Van Boven的文章建议人们将金
钱花在经历上而不是物质上。
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.
解析：　细节理解题。根据第四段可知，这些人之所以选择5万
美元，是因为周围的人都挣2.5万美元。
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.
解析：　细节理解题。根据第四段可知，经历性消费比物质性消
费更加个人、更加独特，也更加难以比较。
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.
解析：　推理判断题。最后一段告诉我们经历性消费的第二个好
处，那就是有助于我们加强人际交往并建立与他人的美好回忆。
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.

thoughts。

中作主语。

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.

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
成一篇完整的短文。
　　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

After a moment， he drove away with a friendly wave and I ran to

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.
