Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(衡水高一检测)We have to make certain our limited money is well spent.But what should we spend our money on? A 20year study conducted by Dr.Gilovich, a professor at Cornell University, reached a powerful and straightforward conclusion:don't spend your money on things.
The trouble with things is that the happiness they provide peters out.We get used to new possessions, and what once seemed exciting quickly becomes the norm.We keep raising the bar and always look for an even better one.Possessions, by their nature, cause comparisons.We buy a new car and are thrilled with it until a friend buys a better one—and there's always someone with a better one.Most of us usually assume that the happiness we get from buying something will last as long as the thing itself.It seems intuitive(直觉的)that investing in something we can see, hear, and touch on a permanent basis delivers the best value.But it's not the case at all.
Gilovich has found that experiences deliver morelasting happiness than things.Experiences become a part of our identity.Everyone's experience is unique.We are not our possessions, but we are the accumulation of everything we've seen, the things we've done, and the places we've been to.“Our experiences are a bigger part of ourselves than our material goods, ” said Gilovich.“You can really like your material stuff.You can even think that part of your identity is connected to those things, but they remain separate from you.In contrast, your experiences really are part of you.We are the sum total of our experiences.”
Besides, we don't compare experiences in the same way that we compare things.It's hard to quantify the relative value of any two experiences, which makes them that much more enjoyable.And expectation of an experience causes excitement and enjoyment, while expectation of obtaining a possession causes impatience.Experiences are enjoyable from the very first moments of planning, all the way through to the memories you keep forever.The temporary happiness achieved by buying things can be regarded as “puddles(水坑)of pleasure.” In other words, that kind of happiness evaporates(蒸发)quickly and leaves us wanting more.Things may last longer than experiences, but the memories that remain are what matter most.
[语篇导读] 本文是一篇议论文, 作者论证说明了一个道理“为什么要把钱花在经历上, 而不是事物上”。
1.The underlined phrase “peters out” can be replaced by .
A.dies away B.is too little
C.is not real D.costs too much
解析 词义猜测题。根据画线短语所在句后一句提到“We get used to new possessions, and what once seemed exciting quickly becomes the norm.(我们习惯了新拥有的东西, 曾经令人兴奋的东西很快就变成了常态。)”, 即可推断出新拥有的东西, 能够带来的快乐是短暂的, 很快就会“消失”, peters out对应的同义词应是“die away”, 故选A。
答案 A
2.What does Gilovich think of experiences?
A.Experiences deliver lesslasting happiness than things.
B.Experiences can exist in our memory forever.
C.Our experiences take up all parts of ourselves.
D.Our experiences are what separate us from others.
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段“Gilovich has found that experiences deliver morelasting happiness than things.Experiences become a part of our identity.Everyone's experience is unique.(吉洛维奇发现, 体验比物质更能带来持久的幸福。经历成为我们身份的一部分。每个人的经历都是独一无二的。)”可知, 吉洛维奇(Gilovich)认为经历是个人身份的象征, 个人的经历形成与他人的区别, 故选D。
答案 D
3.It can be inferred from the passage that .
A.experiences can be compared with each other
B.expecting an experience increases our feeling of anxiety
C.people are more likely to be impatient when buying things
D.spiritual wealth is the most valuable for us
解析 推理判断题。根据第二段“The trouble with things is that the happiness they provide peters out.(问题是, 事物所带来的快乐会逐渐消失。)”及第三段“Gilovich has found that experiences deliver morelasting happiness than things.(吉洛维奇发现, 体验比物质更能带来持久的幸福。)”及最后一段“Things may last longer than experiences, but the memories that remain are what matter most.(事物可能比经历更持久, 但留下的记忆才是最重要的。)”可推断出, 在作者的观点看来, 事物可能留存的时间比经历更久, 但是并不能带来长久的幸福, 而经历留下的精神财富才是最重要的, 故选D。
答案 D
4.Which is the main idea of the passage?
A.How can we gain happiness with money?
B.How can we make happiness last long?
C.Why should we spend money on experiences instead of things?
D.Why do experiences achieve permanent happiness than things?
解析 主旨大意题。通读全文内容可知, 本文主要讲述了事物能够带来的幸福是短暂, 经历留下来的精神财富才是最重要的;再根据第一段首句, 引出文章主题“We have to make certain our limited money is well spent.But what should we spend our money on?(我们必须确保有限的钱花得值。但是我们应该把钱花在什么地方呢?)”, 所以本文主要想表达的主题是“为什么要把钱花在经历上, 而不是事物上”, 故选C。
答案 C
B
(全国甲卷)“I didn't like the ending,” I said to my favorite college professor. It was my junior year of undergraduate, and I was doing an independent study on Victorian literature. I had just finished reading The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot, and I was heartbroken with the ending. Prof. Gracie, with all his patience, asked me to think about it beyond whether I liked it or not. He suggested I think about the difference between endings that I wanted for the characters and endings that were right for the characters, endings that satisfied the story even if they didn't have a traditionally positive outcome. Of course, I would have preferred a different ending for Tom and Maggie Tulliver, but the ending they got did make the most sense for them.
This was an aha moment for me, and I never thought about endings the same way again. From then on, if I wanted to read an ending guaranteed to be happy, I'd pick up a love romance. If I wanted an ending I couldn't guess, I'd pick up a mystery(悬疑小说). One where I kind of knew what was going to happen, historical fiction. Choosing what to read became easier.
But writing the end—that's hard. It's hard for writers because endings carry so much weight with readers. You have to balance creating an ending that's unpredictable, but doesn't seem to come from nowhere, one that fits what's right for the characters.
That's why this issue(期)of Writer's Digest aims to help you figure out how to write the best ending for whatever kind of writing you're doing. If it's short stories, Peter Mountford breaks down six techniques you can try to see which one helps you stick the landing. Elizabeth Sims analyzes the final chapters of five great novels to see what key points they include and how you can adapt them for your work.
This issue won't tell you what your ending should be—that's up to you and the story you're telling—but it might provide what you need to get there.
[语篇导读] 本文是一篇议论文。文章首先通过作者与教授关于小说结局的讨论引发了对结局的思考,接着阐述了不同类型的文学作品结局的特点,最后提出了写作好的结局的重要性并介绍了Writer's Digest杂志如何帮助作家写出更好的结尾。
5.Why did the author go to Prof. Gracie?
A.To discuss a novel.
B.To submit a book report.
C.To argue for a writer.
D.To ask for a reading list
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段“‘I didn't like the ending,’ I said to my favorite college professor. It was my junior year of undergraduate, and I was doing an independent study on Victorian literature. I had just finished reading The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot, and I was heartbroken with the ending. Prof. Gracie, with all his patience, asked me to think about it beyond whether I liked it or not.(‘我不喜欢这个结局,’我对我最喜欢的大学教授说。那是我大三的时候,我正在做一项关于维多利亚文学的独立研究。我刚刚读完乔治·艾略特的《弗洛斯河上的磨坊》,读到结尾我很伤心。格雷西教授耐心地让我考虑一下,不要只看我喜不喜欢。)”可知,作者去找格雷西教授是为了讨论小说。故选A。

6.What did the author realize after seeing Gracie?

解析 推理判断题。根据第二段“This was an aha moment for me, and I never thought about endings the same way again. From then on, if I wanted to read an ending guaranteed to be happy, I'd pick up a love romance. If I wanted an ending I couldn't guess, I'd pick up a mystery(悬疑小说). One where I kind of knew what was going to happen, historical fiction. Choosing what to read became easier.(这对我来说是一个顿悟的时刻,我再也没有想过同样的结局。从那时起,如果我想读一个保证幸福的结局,我就会选一部爱情小说。如果我想要一个我猜不到的结局,我会选一本悬疑小说。一种是我有点知道会发生什么,那就是历史小说。选择读什么变得更容易了。)”可知,见过格雷西教授后,作者意识到了每种类型的文学都有其独特的结局。故选C。
答案 C
7.What is expected of a good ending?
A.It satisfies readers' taste.
B.It fits with the story development.
C.It is usually positive.
D.It is open for imagination.
解析 推理判断题。根据第三段“But writing the end—that's hard. It's hard for writers because endings carry so much weight with readers. You have to balance creating an ending that's unpredictable, but doesn't seem to come from nowhere, one that fits what's right for the characters.(但是写出结局——那很难。对作家来说很难,因为结局对读者来说意义重大。你必须平衡创造一个不可预测的结局,但这个结局又不能显得凭空而来,要适合角色的设定。)”可知,人们对一个好结局的期望是结局又不能显得凭空而来,要适合角色的设定,也就是符合故事的发展。故选B。
答案 B
8.Why does the author mention Peter Mountford and Elizabeth Sims?

B.To stress the theme of this issue.
C.To encourage writing for the magazine.

Elizabeth Sims analyzes the final chapters of five great novels to see what key points they include and how you can adapt them for your work.(这就是为什么这期Writer's Digest旨在帮助你找出如何为你正在写的任何类型的作品写出最好的结局。如果是短篇小说,彼得·蒙特福德分解了六种技巧,你可以尝试看看哪一种能帮助你完美着陆。伊丽莎白·西姆斯分析了五部伟大小说的最后几章,看看它们包含了哪些关键点,以及你如何将它们应用到你的作品中。)”可知,作者提到彼得·蒙福德和伊丽莎白·西姆斯是为了强调这期Writer's Digest的主题,即帮助读者写出更好的结尾。故选B。
答案 B
