　　Getting to know your money personality can help you rein in your spending habits and take back control of your personal finances. Here, finance saving money expert Pete Ridley at CarFinanceSaver reveals the UK's core money personalities, along with actions to adopt that reduce the negative consequences of each personality type.
The Spontaneous Spender
A spontaneous spender refers to a person that exhibits a “spend now, think later” attitude. They can find it tricky to differentiate between “need to have” and “nice to have”, and often feel “spender's guilt”.
“Before you make a purchase, take time to decide whether the item is a ‘need to have’ or a ‘nice to have’. This will aid in avoiding the splurge(揮霍) that provides short-term satisfaction and post-spenders'guilt,” says Ridley.
The Determined Saver
An underlying sense of worry and fear can be at the root of a persistent saver, and their determination to save disguises an overwhelming fear of money.
“Saving is great,” says Ridley, “but it's important to regard money as a friend and not an enemy. Always be sure to make non-essential purchases. These items don't have to be a major expense, but just enough that you acknowledge that money can be there to be enjoyed and not just put away.”
The Money=Status
This personality type can live beyond their means by making purchases that they don't need, striving to keep up with others and saying yes to friendship plans that they cannot afford, to keep up the appearance of financial well-being.
“It's here that you can adopt the 50/20/30 rule: 50 percent essential living expenses, 30 percent disposable income and 20 percent saving and paying debts,” suggests Ridley.
This will maintain financial well-being while helping to acknowledge that money doesn't necessarily equal status or even impress those around you.
21.Which type of money personality is not mentioned in the text
A.Cathy struggles to check her bank balance.
B.Eden tends to spend on impulse with little pre-planning.
C.Gill demonstrates a determined saving approach to her finances.
D.Joyce buys an unaffordable luxury to boast about her financial well-being.
22.What does Ridley suggest people do if they are always making purchases to impress others
A.Manage your money wisely.
B.Spend some money on non-essentials for joy.
C.Check your finances regularly.
D.Take time to assess how much you love the items.
23.In which section of a magazine can the text be found
A.Health.　　　　B.Business.　　　　C.Finance.　　　　D.Culture.
B
　　I was 17 when I discovered shooting stars.
I loved them so much that I invited my high school friends to my family farm and spent an August night in our sleeping bags on the hillside to watch them together.
I can't help but think of that as the final night of my childhood. I always managed to squeeze in a week or two of vacation before starting back at school and I'd see shooting stars and remember that brilliant night on the hill. While still marveling at them, I'd work at convincing myself that the joy I'd experience from my accomplishments in college would soon replace my longing for some quiet time beneath a vast sky. But always, I returned to college life in August with deep sadness in my heart.
I've given lots of reasons over the past 13 years for my choice to live an independent life on a distant farm and homeschool my daughters. But deep down, I think the shooting stars had a lot to do with it. I couldn't bear to gaze up at them and think that they were a finale(終場) to be witnessed before returning to the demands of school and careers.
So I said “no” to all of it: no jobs, no school. And I decided to lead a life tied to the seasons, where shooting stars were just one of many gifts from nature.
I changed my life to make room for them and I'm starting to learn the difference between fulfillment and accomplishment.
Accomplishment is a child's successful test scores. Fulfillment is loving and forgiving each other through the times table(乘法表) and written words.
Accomplishment is the publication of 20 essays and six books per year. Fulfillment is the hours spent researching, then walking through the woods to think about each word and thought.
Accomplishment is making enough income to cover my taxes. Fulfillment is sitting outside at 3 am in August, watching the shooting stars, no longer sad at the passage of childhood, but thrilled about the joy of the stars.
It is learned that accomplishment is merely a mark in the book made as a result of following fulfillment above all else.
24.What does the author think marks the end of her childhood
A.Leaving home for college.
B.Encountering shooting stars.
C.Watching shooting stars with friends.
D.Sleeping in a sleeping bag on a farm.
25.What caused the author to live independently and homeschool her daughters
A.The need to live on a farm.
B.The wish for a life connected to nature.
C.The desire for independence.
D.The demands of school and careers.
26.Which of the following would the author see as fulfillment
A.Winning a gold medal in a sports competition.
B.Spending quality time with family members.
C.Holding a high position in a famous company.
D.Buying a lovely comfortable big house.
27.Which can be a suitable title for the text
A.School or Careers
B.Watch Shooting Stars
C.Live a Life of Fulfillment
D.Accomplishment or Fulfillment

　　Every year, painted lady butterflies(小紅蛺蝶) born in Europe head south on a long journey to Africa. But pinpointing exactly where painted lady butterflies overwinter and breed(繁殖) was the last unknown piece of their roughly 15,000-kilometer migration. Scientists knew that the painted ladies went to Africa, but where on the continent they waited out European winters from December to February was a mystery. Researchers had predicted that subtropical regions close to the equator might provide suitable habitat. To know for sure, the researchers needed to find butterflies in the field.
From late 2017 through early 2020, researchers conducted fieldwork at a wide variety of sites across sub-Saharan Africa during the months of December and January. Another 15 sites were monitored all year round for about two years. In total, the team looked for adults and their young in nine countries, including Benin, Cameroon, and Kenya.
The researchers found more than 2,700 caterpillars(毛蟲) and nearly 2,000 adult butterflies, from as far west as C te d'Ivoire and all the way east to Kenya and Ethiopia. From September to November, the butterflies occupy the tropical grasslands. As those areas dry up, the painted ladies shift south to slightly damp regions from December to February. Central Africa's tropical rainforests stop the butterflies from going any farther south. Three to five generations might be born in sub-Saharan Africa before any surviving adults head north in February.
Knowing where painted lady butterflies breed could help researchers understand why there are occasional population booms with 100 times as many butterflies in some years as others. In 2021, researchers linked the phenomenon to rains in sub-Saharan Africa—perhaps giving butterflies more plants to stop and lay eggs on. But the part of West Africa identified in that study is different from the newly identified breeding grounds. Now, scientists can confirm the link by looking at rainfall and other conditions where baby butterflies are found growing up.
But the next mystery researchers hope to solve is why painted lady butterflies make such a long journey at all.
28.How do the researchers confirm the painted ladies' wintering location
A.By comparing their habitats.
B.By spotting them in the field.
C.By doing experiments with them.
D.By tracking them on their migration.
29.Where do painted lady butterflies stay during December and January
A.In Europe.　　　　B.In the south of Africa.
C.In the south of the Sahara.　　　　D.In the rainforest.
30.What could cause the population explosions of the painted lady butterflies
A.Rains.　　　　B.Foods.
C.Droughts.　　　　D.Temperatures.
31.Why do scientists research into painted lady butterflies
A.To protect them.
B.To make use of them.
C.To know about their habits.
D.To know how they relate to climate.

　　 Digital reading appears to be destroying habits of “deep reading”. Astonishing numbers of people with years of schooling are in effect illiterate. This month's Ljubljana Reading Manifesto(宣言) explains:“The digital field may promote more reading than ever in history, but it also offers many temptations to read in a superficial and scattered(零散的) manner—or even not to read at all. This increasingly endangers higher-level reading.”
That's frightening because “higher-level reading” has been essential to civilization. It enabled the enlightenment and an international increase in empathy. Without it, we would suffer a lot. As the Ljubljana Reading Manifesto notes, “As much as one-third of Europeans struggle even with lower-level reading skills.” More than one-fifth of adults in the US “fall into the illiterate/functionally illiterate category”. Separately, post-pandemic reading scores for American 13-year-olds are the lowest in decades. And the Washington-based Center for Global Development recently estimated that literacy in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa among those with five years of schooling has decreased by 10% this past half century.
Experts in the Ljubljana Reading Manifesto record the demerits of digital reading: “Recent studies of various kinds indicate a decline of critical and conscious reading, slow reading, non-strategic reading and long-form reading.” When you read a book on paper, you can be entirely inside the experience, absorb hundreds of pages of details thoroughly and begin to capture the world's complexity. Online, says Maryanne Wolf of UCLA, we are “skimming, scanning, scrolling”. The medium is the message: doing deep reading on your phone is as hard as playing tennis with your phone. Recently, a bright 11-year-old told me I was wasting time on books: he absorbed more information faster from Wikipedia. He had a point. But digital readers also absorb more misinformation and seldom absorb fine perspectives.
In short, as professors from Northwestern University foresaw in 2005, we are returning to the days when only an elite(精英) “reading class” consumes long texts, which is worrying.
32.What can we learn about digital reading from Paragraph 1
A.Digital reading has solved the problem of illiteracy.
B.Digital reading has lessened the practice of deep reading.
C.Digital reading has made deep reading accessible to wider readers.
D.Digital reading has aroused a greater appreciation of deep reading.
33.What is the purpose of the figures used in Paragraph 2
A.To display the popularity of digital reading.
B.To highlight the advantages of deep reading.
C.To present the unfavorable situation of literacy.
D.To stress the illiterate's lower-level reading skills.
34.What does the underlined word “demerits” in Paragraph 3 mean
A.Effects.　　　　B.Depths.　　　　C.Features.　　　　D.Drawbacks.
35.What could be talked about in the following paragraph
A.Advantages of digital reading.
B.Benefits of higher-level reading.
C.Ways to encourage digital reading.
D.Measures to practice deep reading.

How to communicate complex information
　　Did you ever have to read a presentation where you felt like you're lost in confusing terms, data and concepts Are you giving others this same experience 36.　　　 But there are ways you can simplify your presentation and re-engage your audience. Here's how you can get complex information across.
Use interactive content. It gets the readers more involved in your presentation by letting them play an active part. 37.　　　 Beyond that, questionnaires and chatbots provide personalized and specific answers for readers as part of your presentation. Making your presentation interactive used to be hard, but now you can just use Storydoc. Go make your first interactive presentation. It's as easy as pie.
38.　　　 No one will read a presentation with a thousand words. Do everyone a favor and use images. Images can be super effective at communicating complex information and save you a lot of needless text. In fact, visual representation of data and concepts can often convey what words cannot. Use diagrams and images to illustrate your points and simplify the complex.
Narrate your content. 39.　　　 Whether it's through text to speech AI or video bubbles, centering your presentation around a story can help guide your audience through the complexity, making it more digestible, engaging, and memorable.
Use examples and fables. They can help explain clearly the complexity of ideas for they are what we've already known and understood. 40.　　　 More importantly, the real secret lies in selecting examples that are not just familiar but also deeply relevant—those are the ones that will truly touch a chord with your listeners.
A.Show, don't tell.
B.Make every word count.
C.This makes the complex concepts less new and more familiar.
D.If you don't sound excited, the listeners won't feel excited either.

I was wondering if I'd have the endurance(耐力) and determination to do it. I am, after all, in my late 40s. I 　43　 the coast at 7:00 am. I was, for the day, an arrow. My line of flight was as straight and short as I could make it.

Where I had hoped to see the 　52　, I saw the salt marsh, like the chocolate milkshake of the North Sea!
Feeling like a bit of a fool, I headed down into the nearest marsh and left my boot prints in the mud.

I was now free to think of new ones and move on, in this dawn of possibilities we all face. Life is too short to let ideas stagnate(停滯); now's the time to turn them into 　55　.

　　閱讀下面材料,根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段,使之構成一篇完整的短文。
　　Dad got me to play football when I studied in high school. I did enjoy throwing the ball around with friends, but I never thought I had what it took to play on a team. “I'm not a football player,” I told my dad. “You'll never know what you are able to achieve unless you give it a try, Sam,” he told me. So, I did. It gave me a strong sense of belonging and some confidence. I still remember how proud he was when I won some awards and the hug he gave me after I received my congratulatory letter. There was no such game where Dad wasn't on the sidelines, cheering me on.
Four years' preseason football camps finally came down to my last game. I asked my dad to bring our video camera.
I waved at my parents before the opening kick-off, and then put on a serious face. I grabbed at the clothes of the opposing team's running back(跑衛) and dragged him to the field. A loud cheer came from the sidelines. There was my dad with the camera, cheering crazily. By the end of the game, I had stopped seven players and a sacking(擒殺)—my best performance ever. I ran into my dad's arms. I was sweaty and smelly, but he hugged me anyway. I couldn't wait to watch the tape(錄像帶) to experience every moment again.
As soon as we got home, I took the tape out of the camera and played it on the TV screen. My dad, mum, sister and I sat down in the living room together in front of the TV. I pressed the “Play” button, and the video started. The two teams, lined up before the game, then the running back taking the handoff(傳球), running up to the line, I reaching out, and then...the sky and clouds! I could hear my dad screaming “Way to go, Sam!” as images of the sky shook up and down on the screen.
注意: 續寫詞數應為150個左右。

語篇解讀　本文是一篇說明文。文章主要就如何傳達復雜的信息提出了幾條建議。
①通讀全文,把握文章大意和文章結構
文章大意:傳達復雜信息的建議
文章結構:總—分
②通讀選項,了解各選項的中心點,畫出關鍵信息
A.Show, don't tell.(建議)
B.Make every word count.(建議)
C.This makes the complex concepts less new and more familiar.(“This”使復雜的概念不那么新奇且更熟悉)
D.If you don't sound excited, the listeners won't feel excited either.(中心點:情緒)
E.Storytelling is another powerful tool for communicating complex concepts.(中心點:講故事)
F.Communicating complex information is a common challenge in presentations.(傳達復雜信息是一個挑戰)
G.For example, allow them to choose the content route they wish to take and control the pace.(舉例,讓“them”選擇想要的內容路線)
③把選項一一代入文章空處,尋找每個題最適合的選項
36.F　過渡句。上文提到交流中會出現術語、數據和概念的復雜信息,下文“But there are ways you can simplify your presentation...”提出能傳達復雜信息的方法,F項“在演講中,傳達復雜的信息是一個常見的挑戰”與下文內容構成轉折,承上啟下。故選F。
37.G　細節句。根據本段的主旨句可知,該段的建議是使用交互式內容來傳達復雜信息,結合空前句可知,G項“例如,允許他們選擇他們想要的內容路線并控制節奏”舉例說明如何讓他們參與進來,符合語境。G項中的“them”指代空前句中的“the readers”。故選G。
38.A　主旨句。設空處位于段首,應是本段的主旨句。根據下文內容可知,本段說明要善于運用圖片而不是篇幅較長的文本來展示內容,A項“展示而不是說”是一種傳達復雜信息的方式,可概括本段的主旨大意。故選A。
技巧點撥
　　在七選五閱讀中,設空處為段落小標題或主旨句時,一般比較簡短,可結合其他段的主旨句來確定句式結構。
39.E　細節句。本段主旨句為“Narrate your content.(敘述你的內容)”,結合下文“Whether it's through text to speech AI or video bubbles, centering your presentation around a story...”可知,以故事為中心的演講有助于觀眾理解復雜內容,即用講故事的方式來傳達復雜信息,設空處對“敘述你的內容”這一建議所能采用的方法進一步解釋說明,E項“講故事是傳達復雜概念的另一個強大工具”指出講故事有助于傳達復雜概念,符合語境。故選E。
40.C　細節句。根據上文“Use examples and fables. They can help explain clearly...”可知,使用例子和寓言有助于清晰表達復雜的觀點,下文“More importantly...”進一步闡述這一方式的優點。由此可知,設空處說明運用例子和寓言來傳達復雜信息的好處,C項“這使得復雜的概念不那么新奇且更加熟悉”承接上文,C項中的“This”指代上文提到的使用例子和寓言的方式。故選C。

communicate 熟義:v.交流　生義:v.傳達
第三部分　語言運用
第一節
語篇解讀　本文是一篇記敘文。文章講述了作者計劃了一次22英里的步行之旅,鼓勵人們在生命中勇敢嘗試新事物,以實現自己的夢想和目標。
41.A　根據前文“The walk I'd plotted was 22 miles to the coast.”并結合常識可知,作者計劃的步行到海岸有22英里,22英里足夠讓雙腿酸痛。relax放松;bend彎曲;recover恢復。
42.C　根據后文“walking to a definite point in our country's outline”可知,能夠走到國家地圖輪廓上的一個明確的點上,是吸引作者徒步旅行的原因。excuse借口;move移動;trick詭計。
43.D　根據后文“at 7:00 am”可知,作者早上7點出發去海岸。settle in安頓下來;set about開始;arrive at到達。
44.B　根據后文“the five-hour mark”可知,接近5個小時的時候,我狀態仍然不錯。recognize辨認出;ignore忽視;miss錯過。
45.C　根據后文“had been eased by daydreams”可知,此次步行之旅是不斷重復走路的日常,幻想起到了緩解作用,由此可知,每日的步行旅行很枯燥。inconvenience不方便;comfort舒適;peace和平。
46.A　根據下文的具體描述“The banks on either side were larger, and the grasses longer, even though the sea was still miles off.”可知,兩邊的河岸變得更大,草也更長,這是在步行過程中的風景,通過幻想,作者在旅行中看到的風景發生了變化。weather天氣;shape形狀;spirits情緒。
47.D　根據上文語境可知,作者的徒步之旅很順利;結合后文“I was hurting my knees.”可知,作者在行程中傷了自己的膝蓋,表示事情越來越不受控制,出乎意料。flatter更平坦的;better更好的;stranger更奇怪的。
48.B　根據后文的painkillers并結合常識可知,為了緩解膝蓋疼痛,作者就著咖啡把止痛藥吃了下去。put放;break打破;cool冷卻。
49.C　根據后文“and it kept me going”可知,咖啡因能讓作者繼續堅持下去,即咖啡因能夠增強耐力。reduce減少;control控制;maintain維持。
50.C　根據下文的“in the salt marsh(鹽沼)”可知,眼前的一片鹽沼讓空氣中有咸味。sweetness甜味;fragrance香味;bitterness苦味。
聯想拓展
　　表示“酸、甜、苦、辣、咸”的英文為sour、sweet、bitter、hot、salty。
技巧點撥
利用詞匯復現解題
“詞匯復現”指某一詞匯以原詞形式、詞形變化、同義詞/近義詞、反義詞等重復出現在語篇之中。
此處為同根詞復現,指文中的某個句子中復現的是所填詞的派生詞,常為所填詞的反義詞或相同含義、不同詞性的詞,如本題中salt意為“咸的”,其名詞形式為“saltiness”,為同根詞復現。
51.B　根據后文“in the salt marsh(鹽沼)”可知,作者的視野中能看到的是一片鹽沼,即鹽沼鎖定著作者的視野。update更新;broaden擴大;limit限制。
52.A　根據第三段中的“The banks on either side were larger, and the grasses longer, even though the sea was still miles off.”可知,作者是希望能夠看到大海的。由此可推知,此處作者的視野范圍內全是鹽沼。horizon地平線;land陸地;forest森林。
53.D　根據第四段中的“...I still had four miles to go. I was hurting my knees.”可知,作者本來膝蓋就受傷了,繼續走,讓作者的膝蓋更加受傷。expectation期望;feeling感受;arm手臂。
54.A　根據前文“I'd acted on an old idea, done it”可知,作者膝蓋受傷了,但是作者繼續前行,此處指實現自己之前的想法,即完成這次步行之旅,因此可以從清單上劃掉。show展示;shake搖晃;turn翻轉。
55.B　根據前文“Life is too short to let ideas stagnate(停滯)”可知,作者認為生命太短暫了,不能僅僅停步于想法,而是要把想法變為現實。curiosity好奇心;imagination想象力;destination目的地。
熟詞生義
1.draw 熟義:v.畫,描畫　生義:n.有吸引力的人(或事物)　2.mark 熟義:n.記號　生義:n.標準點,指標
3.bank 熟義:n.銀行　生義:n.岸;河畔
第二節
語篇解讀　本文是一篇說明文。文章從北愛爾蘭小學生演唱中國歌曲切入,主要介紹了孔子學院在北愛爾蘭的發展情況。
56.warmed　考查動詞的時態。句意:在12月寒冷的一天,一群北愛爾蘭小學生演唱了中國歌曲,溫暖了中國客人的心。分析句子結構可知,設空處在主句中作謂語,根據時間狀語“on a cold December day”可知此處講述過去發生的事情,應用一般過去時。故填warmed。
57.the　考查冠詞。句意:在阿爾斯特大學孔子學院的普通話老師的幫助下,孩子們已經練習了六個星期。with the help of...為固定搭配,意為“在……的幫助下”。故填the。
58.and　考查連詞。句意:隨著中國和北愛爾蘭貿易關系的發展,普通話在北愛爾蘭越來越受歡迎。根據between China和Northern Ireland可知,應用固定短語between...and...,意為“在……和……之間”。故填and。
59.which　考查定語從句。句意:米爾本小學的孩子們獻上了周五的表演,得益于當地2012年成立的孔子學院,米爾本小學提供普通話課程。分析句子結構可知,此處無提示詞,空前為逗號,此處缺少主語,故推測設空處引導非限制性定語從句,修飾先行詞Millburn Primary School(指物)。故填which。
60.founded　考查非謂語動詞。句意見上一題。分析句子結構可知,此處作后置定語,修飾the local Confucius Institute,found和the local Confucius Institute為邏輯上的被動關系,應用過去分詞形式。故填founded。
61.to comprise　考查非謂語動詞。句意:阿爾斯特大學孔子學院自五年前成立以來,已發展到擁有51名教師和1.9萬名注冊學生。grow to do...表示“逐漸開始做……”。故填to comprise。
62.exposure　考查名詞。句意:學生們還可以接觸到書法和音樂等中國文化。此處作gain的賓語,應用名詞形式,exposure意為“接觸”,是不可數名詞。故填exposure。
63.promoting　考查非謂語動詞。句意:中國政府于2004年推出了孔子學院的概念,作為向海外推廣漢語和文化精髓的一種方式。分析句子結構可知,此處作of的賓語,應用動名詞形式,固定搭配a way of doing sth.意為“做某事的一種方式”。故填promoting。
64.cultural　考查形容詞。句意見上一題。分析句子結構可知,此處作定語,修飾essence,應用形容詞形式,cultural意為“文化的”。故填cultural。
聯想拓展
名詞變形容詞:
①詞尾加-al
addition—additional附加的,額外的;music—musical音樂的
person—personal私人的;nation—national國家的
education—educational有教育意義的;tradition—traditional傳統的
origin—original原來的;起初的
②以元音字母e結尾的單詞,去掉詞尾元音加-al
nature—natural自然的
globe—global全球的
特例:
class—classical經典的;medicine—medical醫學的
65.have been established　考查動詞的時態、語態和主謂一致。句意:迄今為止,162個國家和地區建立了550所孔子學院。分析句子可知,設空處在句中作謂語,根據時間狀語So far可知,此處應用現在完成時,establish與主語550 Confucius Institutes之間是被動關系,應用被動語態,且主語為復數,助動詞用have。故填have been established。

1.分析沖突點,預設故事結尾。
故事人物 The author,his dad,mum,sister
情節分析/ 沖突點分析 The author asked his father to record his football game with a video camera. He performed well and went home to check the video, only to find that the game had not been fully recorded.
預設結尾 His father was guilty and the author comforted him.
2.分析段首句,確定寫作思路。
根據第一段和第二段段首句確定第一段的發展方向: 由第一段首句可知,“我”想看下一個重要的比賽中的表現;由第二段首句可知,“我”看完了所有錄像。由此推知第一段應介紹看所有錄像的過程。 梳理情節 情節示例
下一個比賽中的表現錄上了嗎 作者看到了什么 沒錄上作者比賽中的表現,錄上的仍是藍天、白云和歡呼聲。
作者的心情如何 作者看之前很興奮和激動,沒看到自己的表現后很沮喪。
為什么會沒有錄上 作者的父親太激動,只顧看比賽了,沒注意到攝像機掉在了地上。
根據第二段首句和預設結尾確定第二段的發展方向: 由第二段首句可知,看完錄像帶后,父親很沉默;由預設結尾可知,“我”轉換心態安慰父親。 父親很安靜的原因是什么 父親沒能成功錄上視頻,很內疚。
父親做了什么 表現出內疚,向作者道歉。
作者做出了什么回應 作者的心態轉變,認識到比賽過程中的歡呼聲才是最重要的,安慰父親。
One possible version:
　　I moved forward closer to the screen to see the next big play. Strangely, the sky and clouds kept rooted on the screen, but the noise on the field and the cheering shouts from my dad continuously rang in my ears. Suddenly I realized that Dad must have cheered so crazily that he dropped the video camera to the ground without noticing it. The final “Yahoo!” came and he gave me a big hug. Watching the sky and clouds, I just silently listened, and closed my eyes with my mind picturing what happened then.
The tape ended and Dad was quiet.As Dad was uncomfortably shifting, I sensed the guilt in his heart. “I'm sorry,” he said. “I failed to record the whole game for you.” “No, it was your cheers that fueled my courage in that fierce football game. And it's the most precious part of the video,” I answered. Hearing my words, he smiled wider than ever before. During the incomplete tape, I found the haunting melody of the football game and my entire life.
