Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Lights，camera，action! Have you ever dreamed of being a director? At age 29，Di Di already has almost 10 years of directing experience.Through the media company he founded，he makes advertising and promotional videos，including for Tsinghua University，his alma mater (母校). For Di，becoming a director is an adventure based on interest.Majoring in journalism，he got into directing by chance.“In 2016，I came up with an idea for Tsinghua's admissions(招生)video but couldn't find a director，” Di said.“so I decided to be the director myself! I ended up really enjoying the process of being creative and working with a team.That was when I knew I wanted to be a director.” While many people think that directors are experts at art，Di found that directors are，in fact，experts at management.“Only one­third of my time is spent on set.The rest of the time，I'm doing lots of planning with my clients and co­workers.” he said.This planning process includes working out the video's theme with the client，creating a play，bringing together the visuals and text content，and also managing logistics (后勤) like where to park the cars and how to bring electricity to the set. “Filming is an industry of high costs.Even short advertisements cost a lot of money per day.Any incident could result in the failure of the project，such as bad weather or the main character not turning up.You have to be quick to respond to any problems，” Di said.Despite the pressure，Di gets great joy from making an impact through his works.In 2019，he made a film for Tsinghua，which tells the story of a group of first­generation college students—the first to go to university in their families.It was viewed more than 15 million times on social media and became a hot top 20 trending topic on Sina Weibo.Being a first­generation college student himself，Di felt very passionate about the video's goal of inspiring students to use their education to make a better life for their families.One month before the national college entrance exam in 2020，Di released a feature film encouraging high school students to keep working hard after the exam was pushed back by one month.

Or does the happiness come more from expecting or remembering the experience? A new study，published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology，offers an answer.Our experimental purchases not only bring us greater pleasure in terms of expectation and remembrance than do our material (物质的) purchases，but they also bring us greater in­the­moment enjoyment，the study found. For the study，the researchers recruited (招募) 2，635 adults who agreed to receive texts at any time during the day.The texts began with a happiness question，which asked the participants (参与者) to tell how they felt “right now”，ranging from very bad to very good.Half of them were then asked if they had made a material purchase within the past hour，such as clothing or electronic goods.The others were asked if they had made an experimental purchase within the past hour，such as eating in a restaurant or attending a concert. The researchers found that the purchasers of the experiences express higher levels of happiness than the purchasers of the material goods，no matter how much the purchases cost. To deal with possible differences in types of purchasers，the researchers carried out a second study in which they researched more than 5，000 adults.“We still found the same result，” said Amit Kumar，the study's lead author (发起人). “If you want to be happier，it might be wise to shift some of your spending away from material goods and a bit more towards experiences，” Kumar said.“That would probably lead to greater happiness.” [语篇解读]　说明文。研究发现，与购买物品相比，把钱花在生活体验上能让人更快乐。 5．Why does the writer put forward two questions in paragraph 1?

D．To doubt the view of researchers. 解析　B　推理判断题。根据第二段“A new study，published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology，offers an answer.Our experimental purchases not only bring us greater pleasure in terms of expectation and remembrance than do our material (物质的) purchases，but they also bring us greater in­the­moment enjoyment，the study found.”可知，作者在第一段提出这两个问题是为了引出这项新研究的话题。故选B。 6．What did the researchers text the participants for? A．To ask them about their spending plans. B．To understand their needs and spending habits. C．To know the change in their purchasing choices. D．To find out their purchasing behavior and feelings. 解析　D　推理判断题。根据第三段“The texts began with a happiness question，which asked the participants (参与者) to tell how they felt ‘right now’，ranging from very bad to very good.Half of them were then asked if they had made a material purchase within the past hour，such as clothing or electronic goods.The others were asked if they had made an experimental purchase within the past hour，such as eating in a restaurant or attending a concert.”可知，研究人员给参与者每天不定时发消息，以了解他们当时的情绪感受以及他们在过去的一个小时内是否有过购买行为。故选D。 7．Which has the similar meaning to the underlined word “shift” in the last paragraph? A．Satisfy. B．Apply. C．Change. D．Increase. 解析　C　词句猜测题。根据最后一段“‘If you want to be happier，it might be wise to shift some of your spending away from material goods and a bit more towards experiences，’ Kumar said.‘That would probably lead to greater happiness.’”并结合全文主题“如果你想要更加快乐的话，那么明智的选择就是把你花在购买物品上的一部分钱更多地转移到生活体验上，这可能会带给你更大的快乐”推测，shift的意思应该是“改变；转移”，和选项C意思一致。故选C。 8．What does the new study find about people's purchases? A．People prefer to purchase material goods instead of experiences. B．People get more pleasure from spending money than making money. C．The level of happiness from purchases depends on how much they cost. D．Experimental purchases bring people greater happiness than material ones. 解析　D　细节理解题。根据第一段“Research has shown that people tend to get more happiness from spending their money on experiences，such as travel and entertainment，than on things like clothes and electronic products.”和最后一段“‘If you want to be happier，it might be wise to shift some of your spending away from material goods and a bit more towards experiences，’ Kumar said.‘That would probably lead to greater happiness.’”可知，这项新的研究发现，与购买物品相比，把钱花在生活体验上能让人更快乐。故选D。 Ⅱ.七选五 1 People use money to buy food，furniture，books，bicycles and hundreds of other things they need or want.When they work，they usually get paid in money.
