Last August, my family took a vacation at Disney World. We rode out the hot central Florida afternoons at the resort pool.
The pool had a pair of huge waterslides. Both were big enough to scare my kids, then 7 and 5. But they grew brave, as children do, and soon enough they were going down those slides over and over and over again. And everyone there was giving the waterslides a shot — kids, teens, moms, dads, grandmas. My husband and I went down with and without our children. No one was very self-conscious; everyone was having fun.
Back home, we returned to our public pool in Needham, which has, if not Disney-caliber slides, a pair of pretty good ones. In four summers at Needham’s town pool, I have seen just a handful of adults use the waterslides.
On social media, there are many threads devoted to whether it’s socially acceptable for adults to use waterslides. I wondered why. There’s the anxiety around being perceived as silly, I suppose.
For many of us, especially of a certain age, there’s terror at the prospect of attracting any attention while wearing a bathing suit. Growing older involves a thousand tiny instances of holding back: getting a little less bold, a little more self-conscious. But there’s value in pointless fun. Biologically, we need play in the same way we need food or sleep.
Back at the pool, I couldn’t think of a more direct (or steep) path to the play state than the one in front of me. Fun, a refreshing 30-second shot of it, was just sitting right there.
I did. Twice. It wasn’t easy. It was psychologically daunting (令人气馁的) — seated on a veritable pedestal (底座) surrounded by children, listening to safety instructions from a bored teenage lifeguard. And yet, the sheer joy of it — the drop in my stomach, the cave-like echo in the tunnel, the cold, disorienting splash — put me in a great mood for the rest of the weekend.
There’s something to be said for those cognitive benefits. After that, I had to figure out dinner, and for the first time, it occurred to me that I could get pizza delivered to the pool.
24. What did the author notice about the adults at the Disney World resort pool?
A. They preferred swimming to sliding.
B. They were concerned about safety rules.
C. They were too shy to use the waterslides.
D. They enjoyed the slides as much as the kids did.
25. What can be learned about adults from paragraph 5?
A. They dislike being photographed in swimsuits.
B. They become more careful about their health.
C. They prefer observing others to participating.
D. They gradually lose their courage to try new things.
26. Why did the author find going down the waterslide at her local pool challenging?
A. She felt out of place among children. B. The lifeguard’s instructions were unclear.
C. The slide’s design was too dangerous. D. Her physical condition prevented her.
27. What is the author’s primary purpose in writing this article?
A. To compare different types of waterslide experiences.
B. To criticize social media’s judgment on adult behavior.
C. To advocate for adults reclaiming the joy of play.
D. To stress the importance of family vacations.
【答案】24. D 25. D 26. A 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在迪士尼和家乡泳池观察到成人对水上滑梯的不同态度,并倡导成人找回玩耍的乐趣。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“And everyone there was giving the waterslides a shot — kids, teens, moms, dads, grandmas. My husband and I went down with and without our children. No one was very self-conscious; everyone was having fun.(那里的每个人都尝试了水上滑梯——孩子、青少年、妈妈、爸爸、奶奶。我和丈夫带着孩子和不带着孩子都滑下去了。没有人感到很不自在;每个人都玩得很开心。)”可知,作者注意到在迪士尼世界度假区泳池的成年人和孩子们一样喜欢滑梯。故选D。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“Growing older involves a thousand tiny instances of holding back: getting a little less bold, a little more self-conscious.(随着年龄的增长,我们会无数次地克制自己:变得不那么大胆,更加在意别人的看法。)”可知,成年人逐渐失去了尝试新事物的勇气。故选D。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第七段中“It was psychologically daunting (令人气馁的) — seated on a veritable pedestal (底座) surrounded by children, listening to safety instructions from a bored teenage lifeguard.(这在心理上是令人畏惧的——坐在一个真正的底座上,周围都是孩子,听着一个无聊的青少年救生员的安全指示。)”可知,作者觉得在当地的泳池滑滑梯很有挑战性是因为她在孩子中间感到不自在。故选A。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“For many of us, especially of a certain age, there’s terror at the prospect of attracting any attention while wearing a bathing suit. Growing older involves a thousand tiny instances of holding back: getting a little less bold, a little more self-conscious. But there’s value in pointless fun. Biologically, we need play in the same way we need food or sleep.(对我们许多人,尤其是到了一定年纪的人来说,一想到穿着泳衣引人注目,就会感到恐惧。随着年龄的增长,我们会无数次地克制自己:变得不那么大胆,更加在意别人的看法。但无意义的乐趣也有其价值。从生物学角度来说,我们需要玩耍,就像我们需要食物或睡眠一样。)”以及最后一段中“There’s something to be said for those cognitive benefits.(这些认知上的好处是值得称道的。)”可知,作者写这篇文章的主要目的是倡导成年人找回玩耍的乐趣。故选C。
C
Old buildings tend to be regarded as throwaways and suitable for being torn down. Most people have not fully realized the “green” values that are linked with the upkeep of existing buildings. Actually, in fact, keeping and making use of old architectures is one of the most environmentally-sound things we can do — more than the construction of any new structures that claims to be “green”.
Aged communities, which have developed and changed organically over an extended period, possess unique cultures of their own. The buildings within them are irreplaceable to the environment. Opting not to sustain such architectures essentially is like sentencing a special community to disappearance. Building “green” can be about preserving time-honored, local building traditions that respect regional cultures, rather than just using the latest and greatest technologies.
The building materials and craftsmanship are also entitled to respect, not simply due to the environmental cost of the extraction (开采), transportation and production of them, but on account of the reality that some of such materials and the craftsmanship related will no longer exist. My little river cottage in West Virginia, which is constructed with chestnut sourced from the period prior to the die-off of the chestnut trees, is such that the material in question may never again be obtained. However, the prospective purchaser planned to tear it down, which, in my view, is not only a mark of disrespect for the material but also goes against the concept of sustainable development.
As the Preservation Green Lab report demonstrates, it takes 10 to 80 years for a new building that is 30 percent more efficient than an average-performing existing building to overcome the negative climate change consequences linked to the construction, which emphasizes the necessity of ongoing utilization of pre-existing buildings and communities, effectively preventing or minimizing the utilization of forests, farms, wildlife habitats, and open areas for novel construction undertakings.
As Carl Elefante of Quinn-Evans Architects brilliantly said, “The greenest building is one that is already built.” Hopefully, the public will come to a uniform opinion that buildings currently existing are worthy of more care and attention.
28. How do most people address old buildings?
A. They restore them actively. B. They take them seriously.
C. They explore them fully. D. They treat them lightly.
29. Why does the author mention his little river cottage in the passage?
A. To highlight the virtue of keeping old constructions.
B. To demonstrate the shortage of building materials.
C. To display the attachment to the old constructions.
D. To explain the complexity of building houses.
30. What do the data in paragraph 4 imply about old buildings?
A. They are more efficient than the new buildings.
B. They can clear away the bad effects on farms nearby.
C. They can help avoid more environmental pollution.
D. They consumed less energy in the construction process.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. The Cultural Value of Green Buildings
B. New Constructions Should Be Given Priority
C. The Green Value of Keeping Old Buildings
D. Building Craftsmanship Should Be Respected
【答案】28. D 29. A 30. C 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章论述了旧建筑具有“绿色”价值,强调保留和利用旧建筑、社区的必要性,呼吁人们重视现存建筑。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Old buildings tend to be regarded as throwaways and suitable for being torn down. Most people have not fully realized the “green” values that are linked with the upkeep of existing buildings.(旧建筑往往被视为废弃物,适合被拆除。大多数人尚未充分认识到与维护现有建筑相关的“绿色”价值)”可知,大多数人轻视旧建筑,随意对待它们。故选D项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The building materials and craftsmanship are also entitled to respect, not simply due to the environmental cost of the extraction(开采), transportation and production of them, but on account of the reality that some of such materials and the craftsmanship related will no longer exist. My little river cottage in West Virginia, which is constructed with chestnut sourced from the period prior to the die-off of the chestnut trees, is such that the material in question may never again be obtained. However, the prospective purchaser planned to tear it down, which, in my view, is not only a mark of disrespect for the material but also goes against the concept of sustainable development.(建筑材料和工艺也应该得到尊重,这不仅仅是因为它们的提取、运输和生产的环境成本,而是因为其中一些材料和相关的工艺将不复存在的现实。我在西弗吉尼亚州的小河边小屋,是用栗子树灭绝之前那个时期的栗子木建造的,这种材料可能再也无法获得了。然而,潜在的买家计划把它拆掉,在我看来,这不仅是对材料的不尊重,也违背了可持续发展的理念)”中先提出“建筑材料和工艺应该得到尊重,因为其中一些材料和相关的工艺将不复存在”这一观点,然后以作者自己的小屋为例,说明把它拆除后其材料可能再也无法获得了。由此推知,作者在提到他的小河边小屋是为了强调保留旧建筑的好处和价值,即保留可能再也无法获得的建筑材料和工艺。故选A项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“As the Preservation Green Lab report demonstrates, it takes 10 to 80 years for a new building that is 30 percent more efficient than an average-performing existing building to overcome the negative climate change consequences linked to the construction, which emphasizes the necessity of ongoing utilization of pre-existing buildings and communities, effectively preventing or minimizing the utilization of forests, farms, wildlife habitats, and open areas for novel construction undertakings.(正如保护绿色实验室的报告所示,一座比普通现有建筑效率高30%的新建筑需要10到80年的时间才能克服与建设相关的负面气候变化后果,这强调了持续利用现有建筑和社区的必要性,有效防止或减少为新建设项目而对森林、农场、野生动物栖息地和开放区域的利用)”可知,数据表明,新建筑需要10到80年的时间才能克服与建设相关的负面气候变化后果,所以它们暗示了旧建筑能避免更多因新建筑建设带来的环境污染。故选C项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第一段中“Actually, in fact, keeping and making use of old architectures is one of the most environmentally-sound things we can do— more than the construction of any new structures that claims to be “green”.”(事实上,保留和利用旧建筑是我们能做的最环保的事情之一——比任何声称是 “绿色”的新建筑的建设都更环保)”和最后一段“As Carl Elefante of Quinn-Evans Architects brilliantly said, “The greenest building is one that is already built.” Hopefully, the public will come to a uniform opinion that buildings currently existing are worthy of more care and attention.(正如奎因埃文斯建筑师事务所的卡尔·埃莱凡特所说: “最环保的建筑是已经建成的建筑。”希望公众能达成一致意见,即现存的建筑值得更多的关心和关注)”可知,文章主要介绍了旧建筑具有重要价值,应该优先考虑保留和利用旧建筑。所以最佳标题为“保留老建筑的绿色价值”。故选C项。
D
Many things can now be bought using buy-now, pay-later (BNPL) financing. Such purchases are often the subject of ridicule (嘲笑,嘲弄). Paying for lunch in installments(分期付款) is, to some, consumerism at its most absurd. Others see something darker: it skirts the edge of mainstream finance, targeting unstable borrowers. Neither ridicule nor concern has weakened the industry’s growth, however.
The idea of a loan at the point of sale is an old one. In 1856 Isaac Singer and Edward Clark began selling sewing machines in installments, with great success. The modern industry operates in a similar manner. When a customer buys a product for $100, they can pay in stages. The BNPL lender pays the merchant in advance, in exchange for a cut of, say, $3. This is attractive to retailers, since it boosts sales. The customer pays back the sum over time, with zero interest (利息).
BNPL plans promise freedom and flexibility, but the ease of use can fool our minds. When payment is delayed or divided into smaller payments, we are wired to feel less emotionally exhausted. Although the $15 or $25 payments seem insignificant, they quickly add up. Prelec & Loewenstein found that when the act of paying is separated from the act of purchasing, we experience less “pain of paying”, which makes us more likely to overspend. This psychological disconnection allows people to underestimate the long-term cost of their spending and often leads to impulsive financial decisions. In societies where digital credit is easily accessible but financial education is limited, these behaviours can develop into long-term debt.
Stress over money doesn’t stay in the bank. It follows us into our homes, our relationships, and even our sleep. The psychological price can be severe when financial anxiety affects daily survival, such as paying for food, housing, or education. Even middle- and high-income earners report significant anxiety when caught in cycles of lifestyle-driven debt because of the pressure.
32. What does the underlined phrase “skirts the edge” mean in paragraph 1?
A. Challenges the rules. B. Simplifies the process.
C. Operates near the boundary. D. Escapes from the control.
33. How does BNPL benefit retailers directly?
A. With tax reduction. B. Through sales promotion.
C. Via interest collection. D. By lowering product prices.
34. What is the author’s tone when discussing BNPL’s psychological effects?
A. Emotionally neutral. B. Cautiously critical. C. Humorously ironic. D. Enthusiastically supportive.
35. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. The technical operation of BNPL. B. The historical evolution of credit.
C. The global popularity of installments. D. The hidden costs of delayed payment.
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. B 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍“先买后付”(BNPL)支付方式的运作模式、对商家和消费者的影响,以及其背后隐藏的财务与心理成本。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“it skirts the edge of mainstream finance, targeting unstable borrowers.(它处于主流金融的skirts the edge,以不稳定的借款人为目标。)”可知,BNPL 模式针对不稳定借款人,处于主流金融的边缘地带。“skirts the edge”意为“在边界附近运作”,与“Operates near the boundary”同义。故选C项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“This is attractive to retailers, since it boosts sales.(这对零售商很有吸引力,因为它能促进销售。)”可知,BNPL通过提升销量直接使零售商受益。故选B项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“This psychological disconnection allows people to underestimate the long-term cost of their spending and often leads to impulsive financial decisions. In societies where digital credit is easily accessible but financial education is limited, these behaviours can develop into long-term debt.(这种心理层面的脱节会让人们低估消费的长期成本,还常常导致冲动的财务决策。在数字信贷触手可及、但金融教育却相对匮乏的社会中,这类行为可能会演变成长期债务)”作者在第三段指出,BNPL的便捷性会让人忽视支付痛苦、过度消费,甚至陷入长期债务;根据第四段“Stress over money doesn’t stay in the bank. It follows us into our homes, our relationships, and even our sleep. The psychological price can be severe when financial anxiety affects daily survival, such as paying for food, housing, or education.(金钱带来的压力从不会只停留在银行账户上。它会跟着我们走进家庭、渗入人际关系,甚至影响到睡眠。当经济焦虑波及食物、住房、教育等日常生计支出时,其造成的心理代价可能会十分沉重)”进一步说明债务带来的心理压力。这种表述既基于客观分析,又明确指出其负面影响,体现出“谨慎批判”的语气。故选B项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。文章开篇介绍BNPL的现状,随后讲解其运作模式,重点分析了它对消费者的心理影响(易过度消费)和潜在成本(债务压力、心理负担)。所以短文主要关于延迟支付的隐藏成本。故选D项。

Ways to Relieve Stress
A survey on stress-relief methods reveals that 35% of the students find relief by playing games. Additionally, 28% of the participants turn to listening to music, while 20% and 10% choose videos and physical activities respectively.
While games, videos and music are enjoyable, over-reliance on them may distract our attention from our studies and daily lives. By contrast, doing sports can enhance both our physical and mental health. Therefore, it’s advisable that our school should launch more activities, such as a sports meet and outdoor activities.
Hopefully, these practices can not only help us students handle stress more effectively, but also contribute to our overall development.

第二节(满分25分)
67. 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。
There is a busy street corner beside a bus station where kids change buses going to and from school. It’s not what you would call a pretty spot. There’s a lot of noisy traffic and the nearby buildings are gray and unloved. However, it has a patch (小块土地) of beauty — a small garden plot called Pete’s Patch, because Pete created it in nine and a half minutes.
Pete is one of the kids who, for nine and a half minutes each day, waited here to change buses. It wasn’t a fun or pleasant place to hang out. The station was noisy and smelled of gas fumes. There was nowhere nice to walk and the patch of land next to the station was littered with trash. Maybe it had once been a garden, but now it was an eyesore (令人厌恶的东西). Kids and adults had thrown their empty drink cans there, along with burger wrappings and fried-chicken boxes. No, it wasn’t a nice spot to spend nine and a half minutes of every school day when all you wanted to do was get home.
But Pete was here. He didn’t have a choice. If he wanted to get home, this was the only way. He felt like he was wasting his life away. There was nothing to look at, nothing to occupy his mind or hands, and hanging around like that each day drove him crazy. He knew he couldn’t do anything to change the bus company’s timetable, but, he began to think, he might be able to make his nine and a half minutes more enjoyable for him and others.
He asked Mom for some plastic trash bags and a pair of gardening gloves. That week, he put on the gloves and filled his nine and a half minutes each day by piling the trash into the bags. “Hey, man, are you crazy or something?” his schoolmates teased. “What difference will it make? Why waste your time?” They didn’t know that for Pete it was a bigger waste of time to sit doing nothing.

【答案】One possible version:
On the weekend he collected the bags and took them to the rubbish dump. Undoubtedly, the once-smelly patch was transformed, with almost no trash left on the ground. Inspired by the clean scene unfolding before him, he was determined to fill his nine and a half minutes in his own way. With constant efforts, the patch eventually turned into an engaging spot that no one could pass without taking a second look. Eyes widened, the kids who had once teased Pete were now astonished by the impressive and unbelievable transformation. Compliments flooded in for Pete, the persistent guardian who was dedicated to environmental conservation.
Now these kids aren’t going to let anyone mess the place up. Eagerly, they created a striking billboard that reads “Pete’s Patch”, with a highlighted supplement: “Litter-Free”. Fueled by boundless energy, they even built a wooden fence to encircle the patch, while Pete, who has a deep love for flora, sowed flower seeds within. Time skipping by, the once-messy place has blossomed into a lively garden, becoming a refreshing oasis for weary bus commuters. “True beauty is created by loving and creative hands,” Pete thought, a wave of heartfelt affection washing over him.

Last August, my family took a vacation at Disney World. We rode out the hot central Florida afternoons at the resort pool.
The pool had a pair of huge waterslides. Both were big enough to scare my kids, then 7 and 5. But they grew brave, as children do, and soon enough they were going down those slides over and over and over again. And everyone there was giving the waterslides a shot — kids, teens, moms, dads, grandmas. My husband and I went down with and without our children. No one was very self-conscious; everyone was having fun.
Back home, we returned to our public pool in Needham, which has, if not Disney-caliber slides, a pair of pretty good ones. In four summers at Needham’s town pool, I have seen just a handful of adults use the waterslides.
On social media, there are many threads devoted to whether it’s socially acceptable for adults to use waterslides. I wondered why. There’s the anxiety around being perceived as silly, I suppose.
For many of us, especially of a certain age, there’s terror at the prospect of attracting any attention while wearing a bathing suit. Growing older involves a thousand tiny instances of holding back: getting a little less bold, a little more self-conscious. But there’s value in pointless fun. Biologically, we need play in the same way we need food or sleep.
Back at the pool, I couldn’t think of a more direct (or steep) path to the play state than the one in front of me. Fun, a refreshing 30-second shot of it, was just sitting right there.
I did. Twice. It wasn’t easy. It was psychologically daunting (令人气馁的) — seated on a veritable pedestal (底座) surrounded by children, listening to safety instructions from a bored teenage lifeguard. And yet, the sheer joy of it — the drop in my stomach, the cave-like echo in the tunnel, the cold, disorienting splash — put me in a great mood for the rest of the weekend.
There’s something to be said for those cognitive benefits. After that, I had to figure out dinner, and for the first time, it occurred to me that I could get pizza delivered to the pool.
24. What did the author notice about the adults at the Disney World resort pool?
A. They preferred swimming to sliding.
B. They were concerned about safety rules.
C. They were too shy to use the waterslides.
D. They enjoyed the slides as much as the kids did.
25 What can be learned about adults from paragraph 5?
A. They dislike being photographed in swimsuits.
B. They become more careful about their health.
C. They prefer observing others to participating.
D. They gradually lose their courage to try new things.
26. Why did the author find going down the waterslide at her local pool challenging?
A. She felt out of place among children. B. The lifeguard’s instructions were unclear.
C. The slide’s design was too dangerous. D. Her physical condition prevented her.
27. What is the author’s primary purpose in writing this article?
A. To compare different types of waterslide experiences.
B. To criticize social media’s judgment on adult behavior.
C. To advocate for adults reclaiming the joy of play.
D. To stress the importance of family vacations.
C
Old buildings tend to be regarded as throwaways and suitable for being torn down. Most people have not fully realized the “green” values that are linked with the upkeep of existing buildings. Actually, in fact, keeping and making use of old architectures is one of the most environmentally-sound things we can do — more than the construction of any new structures that claims to be “green”.
Aged communities, which have developed and changed organically over an extended period, possess unique cultures of their own. The buildings within them are irreplaceable to the environment. Opting not to sustain such architectures essentially is like sentencing a special community to disappearance. Building “green” can be about preserving time-honored, local building traditions that respect regional cultures, rather than just using the latest and greatest technologies.
The building materials and craftsmanship are also entitled to respect, not simply due to the environmental cost of the extraction (开采), transportation and production of them, but on account of the reality that some of such materials and the craftsmanship related will no longer exist. My little river cottage in West Virginia, which is constructed with chestnut sourced from the period prior to the die-off of the chestnut trees, is such that the material in question may never again be obtained. However, the prospective purchaser planned to tear it down, which, in my view, is not only a mark of disrespect for the material but also goes against the concept of sustainable development.
As the Preservation Green Lab report demonstrates, it takes 10 to 80 years for a new building that is 30 percent more efficient than an average-performing existing building to overcome the negative climate change consequences linked to the construction, which emphasizes the necessity of ongoing utilization of pre-existing buildings and communities, effectively preventing or minimizing the utilization of forests, farms, wildlife habitats, and open areas for novel construction undertakings.
As Carl Elefante of Quinn-Evans Architects brilliantly said, “The greenest building is one that is already built.” Hopefully, the public will come to a uniform opinion that buildings currently existing are worthy of more care and attention.
28. How do most people address old buildings?
A. They restore them actively. B. They take them seriously.
C. They explore them fully. D. They treat them lightly.
29. Why does the author mention his little river cottage in the passage?
A. To highlight the virtue of keeping old constructions.
B. To demonstrate the shortage of building materials.
C. To display the attachment to the old constructions.
D. To explain the complexity of building houses.
30. What do the data in paragraph 4 imply about old buildings?
A. They are more efficient than the new buildings.
B. They can clear away the bad effects on farms nearby.
C. They can help avoid more environmental pollution.
D. They consumed less energy in the construction process.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. The Cultural Value of Green Buildings
B. New Constructions Should Be Given Priority
C. The Green Value of Keeping Old Buildings
D. Building Craftsmanship Should Be Respected
D
Many things can now be bought using buy-now, pay-later (BNPL) financing. Such purchases are often the subject of ridicule (嘲笑,嘲弄). Paying for lunch in installments(分期付款) is, to some, consumerism at its most absurd. Others see something darker: it skirts the edge of mainstream finance, targeting unstable borrowers. Neither ridicule nor concern has weakened the industry’s growth, however.
The idea of a loan at the point of sale is an old one. In 1856 Isaac Singer and Edward Clark began selling sewing machines in installments with great success. The modern industry operates in a similar manner. When a customer buys a product for $100, they can pay in stages. The BNPL lender pays the merchant in advance, in exchange for a cut of, say, $3. This is attractive to retailers, since it boosts sales. The customer pays back the sum over time, with zero interest (利息).
BNPL plans promise freedom and flexibility, but the ease of use can fool our minds. When payment is delayed or divided into smaller payments, we are wired to feel less emotionally exhausted. Although the $15 or $25 payments seem insignificant, they quickly add up. Prelec & Loewenstein found that when the act of paying is separated from the act of purchasing, we experience less “pain of paying”, which makes us more likely to overspend. This psychological disconnection allows people to underestimate the long-term cost of their spending and often leads to impulsive financial decisions. In societies where digital credit is easily accessible but financial education is limited, these behaviours can develop into long-term debt.
Stress over money doesn’t stay in the bank. It follows us into our homes, our relationships, and even our sleep. The psychological price can be severe when financial anxiety affects daily survival, such as paying for food, housing, or education. Even middle- and high-income earners report significant anxiety when caught in cycles of lifestyle-driven debt because of the pressure.
32. What does the underlined phrase “skirts the edge” mean in paragraph 1?
A. Challenges the rules. B. Simplifies the process.
C. Operates near the boundary. D. Escapes from the control.
33. How does BNPL benefit retailers directly?
A. With tax reduction. B. Through sales promotion.
C. Via interest collection. D. By lowering product prices.
34. What is the author’s tone when discussing BNPL’s psychological effects?
A. Emotionally neutral. B. Cautiously critical. C. Humorously ironic. D. Enthusiastically supportive.
35. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. The technical operation of BNPL. B. The historical evolution of credit.
C. The global popularity of installments. D. The hidden costs of delayed payment.

67. 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。
There is a busy street corner beside a bus station where kids change buses going to and from school. It’s not what you would call a pretty spot. There’s a lot of noisy traffic and the nearby buildings are gray and unloved. However, it has a patch (小块土地) of beauty — a small garden plot called Pete’s Patch, because Pete created it in nine and a half minutes.
Pete is one of the kids who, for nine and a half minutes each day, waited here to change buses. It wasn’t a fun or pleasant place to hang out. The station was noisy and smelled of gas fumes. There was nowhere nice to walk and the patch of land next to the station was littered with trash. Maybe it had once been a garden, but now it was an eyesore (令人厌恶的东西). Kids and adults had thrown their empty drink cans there, along with burger wrappings and fried-chicken boxes. No, it wasn’t a nice spot to spend nine and a half minutes of every school day when all you wanted to do was get home.
But Pete was here. He didn’t have a choice. If he wanted to get home, this was the only way. He felt like he was wasting his life away. There was nothing to look at, nothing to occupy his mind or hands, and hanging around like that each day drove him crazy. He knew he couldn’t do anything to change the bus company’s timetable, but, he began to think, he might be able to make his nine and a half minutes more enjoyable for him and others.
He asked Mom for some plastic trash bags and a pair of gardening gloves. That week, he put on the gloves and filled his nine and a half minutes each day by piling the trash into the bags. “Hey, man, are you crazy or something?” his schoolmates teased. “What difference will it make? Why waste your time?” They didn’t know that for Pete it was a bigger waste of time to sit doing nothing.
注意:

On the weekend he collected the bags and took them to the rubbish dump.
