Afterwards we’ll have a look round the Study Center.The center is open to all students and it’s important that you go there and use what’s available.You’ll need your student ID card to borrow books and of course there are fines for returning late. Then I’ll take you to the Sports Center.You’ll notice some building work going on around there but don’t worry it’ll be finished before next term. After the tour there’s no need to return to the college hall.It’s probably a good idea to go back to the departments you’re interested in and speak to some of the students there.You’ll be able to meet your subject teachers on your first day and they will help you with any other questions that you still have. 第二部分　阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A (2025·福建省南安市高二下期中) Show Your Money Smarts Contest Show Your Money Smarts Contest aims to give the youth a jump start by equipping them with the power of knowledge to make sound financial choices.

Queenie Jenkins from Atlanta worked in the fashion industry and in her spare time，made matching scarves and skirts on her sewing machine at home.But once she became a mother with two energetic boys at her feet，her hobby became both difficult and dangerous.So，she turned the problem into a life lesson.Jenkins taught her boys how to use the sewing machine skillfully and safely.It wasn’t long before the boys were no longer green hands．As they grew older，they knew how to change the trousers into shorts for the summer months well. When Jabez’s elementary school held a Career Day，he made 30 bow ties and 30 hair bows to sell.Within minutes，all of them had sold out.Then Jabez launched Kings and Gents Accessories，a small workshop，in 2018 with his brother.In addition to making and selling their bow ties，the brothers have also written a book and created a YouTube channel to host meetings for other potential “kidpreneurs (儿童企业家)”． Now as a freshman in high school，Jabez said inspiring the next generation of business owners is an important part of their mission.“We just wanted to show younger kids how we got started，and how they can get started，” said Jabez，“We’re no different than any other kids.” Jenkins has plenty to be proud of.Not only have her boys created a successful business，but they’ve gained valuable life skills along the way.“They’ve learned not to give up，to be more creative，and to be thinkers，” said Jenkins.“They don’t allow their fear to stop them.” 语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位亚特兰大母亲把自己的两个“缝纫小王子”培养成了成功的企业家。 24．In which aspect do Jabez and Christopher benefit most from their mother’s sewing machine?

As raised in a traditional way，we are constantly told to spend a fixed amount of money in a particular period，with everything arranged.The lack of financial literacy among teens is mainly due to the fear of losing control，which has overshadowed the importance of introducing genuine ideas that can promote independence and responsibility tied to financial autonomy (自主).This mindset implies that if you just follow the parent’s plan，seemingly you succeed in managing your money.Still，each year heartbreaking news about college students who are involved in unaffordable debt keeps popping up. Having financial literacy，however，has more benefits than expected.At best，teens with self-discipline would appreciate the trust and make informed financial decisions.Even at worst，the cost of making mistakes in teenage years is relatively low and committing the mistakes honestly may open the door to some constructive feedback and financial tips. True financial literacy isn’t simply about implementing a strict or loose strategy on spending but teaching teenagers to differentiate between necessity and desire，and making compromises.But managed properly，both bread and Air Jordan shoes can be obtained.With Air Jordan shoes ahead，the difficulty in making and saving money makes us appreciate the value of efforts.Budgeting and planning for your expenses help you make decisions of consequence and resist temptations. Once teens demonstrate responsible management of cash-based expenses，it is time to consider upgrading.However，teens may not be fully equipped to travel in the complex financial landscape without adequate supervision and support.After all，financial autonomy comes with responsibilities. 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了青少年缺乏理财知识的原因以及青少年拥有金融知识的好处，指出真正的理财知识不是简单地执行严格或宽松的消费策略，而是教会青少年区分必需品和欲望，并做出妥协。 28．What is the function of mentioning the author’s nephew?

B．It stresses the necessity of producing genuine ideas. C．It helps generate independence and responsibilities. D．It increases the risk of having unaffordable debt. 答案：C 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段可知，我们需要金融知识是因为它有助于产生独立性和责任感。故选C。 30．Which pair is similar to bread and Air Jordan shoes? A．Tasty dumplings and cheap stationary. B．Instant noodles and all-star game ticket. C．Worn-out jeans and plain basketball cap. D．Latest electronic devices and rare goods. 答案：B 解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段可知，面包相当于必需品，飞人乔丹鞋相当于欲望，结合选项可知B选项的“泡面和全明星赛门票”类似于面包和飞人乔丹鞋。故选B。 31．What is the purpose of the passage?

Where does it all go? Take the blanket I bought on holiday sale for example.I opened the package，only to discover it was just too small for my new sofa.So I returned it.Sorry，blanket! What will happen to it? “Your blanket is very likely to be in a landfill，” says Hitendra Chaturvedi，a supply chain management professor at Arizona State University.“That is what consumers don’t realize—the life of a return is a very，very sad path.” Value is the big threshold (门槛)：Is the product worth the cost of shipping back and paying someone to inspect，clean，repair or test? Experts estimate that retailers (零售商) throw away about 25% of their returns.Every year，U.S.returns create almost 6 billion pounds of landfill waste. Many others get resold in discount and outlet stores.Some go to sellers on websites.Some get donated to charity or recycled.“These options have increased over the past decade，allowing more and more returns to find a new home，”says Marcus Shen，chief operating officer of B-Stock，a platform where retailers can resell their returns，often to smaller stores. As companies compete on flexible return policies，technology is also slowly playing a part：helping shoppers buy the right-size sweater or picture a new blanket inside their room.Most importantly，she says，shoppers themselves are getting more and more comfortable with buying stuff that’s not exactly brand-new. “The idea of that is no longer scary for us，right？” he says.On his holiday-return agenda is an electric，self-heating coffee mug that he has never opened，and he feels confident it will find a happy new buyer. 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。美国购物者去年购买的所有商品的价值很高，但随之而来的是过度购买带来的高退货率，文章说明了高退货率的原因以及带来的结果。 32．What is Paragraph 1 mainly about?

B．It saves retailers 6 billion pounds a year. C．It’s impossible to put returns to other uses. D．It’s more economically efficient for retailers. 答案：D 解析：推理判断题。根据第三段可知，大多数退货所产生的运费和其他附加费用高过商品价值本身，商家因此选择直接扔掉退货，由此可知，扔掉退货对零售商来说更具经济效益，因此许多退货最终会被丢进垃圾填埋场。故选D。 34．How does technology contribute to less returning? A．By helping shoppers make better decisions. B．By restoring the newness in returned goods. C．By improving the return policy-making process. D．By drawing pictures of the goods for the shoppers. 答案：A 解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“As companies compete on...or picture a new blanket inside their room.”可知，技术可以帮助消费者抉择商品是否适合自己的需求，从而帮助购物者做出更好的购买决定，故选A。 35．Which of the following examples indicates a desirable end-result for returns?

Thank you all for coming to our college open evening. In a short while, i'll take you around the different departments. The college has a total of one thousand seventy students are between the ages of sixteen and eighteen, and they study a range of different subjects. You are among the five hundred twenty new students joining us this year. Student numbers are growing, and this is an increase on last year when there were four hundred thirty new students. First of all, i'll take you to the robbins and building where some student work is on display every month. There are talks by professional artists, the building is also used by the film club, and you'll be able to pick up more information there if you are interested. Afterwards, we'll have a look around the steady center. The center is open to all students, and it's important that you go there and use what's available. You'll need your student ID card to borough books. And of course, there are fines for returning late, then not take you to the sports center. You'll notice some building work going on around there. But don't worry, it'll be finished before next term. After the tour, there is no need to return to the college hall. It's probably a good idea to go back to the department you're interested in and speak to some of the students there. You'll be able to meet your subject teachers on your first day, and they will help you with any other questions that you still have. Thank you all for coming to our college.
