Australian rules football is around a one hundred and fifty years old.

There are eighteen teams in the top level competition, the australian football league, which is also called the AFL. The oldest team in the AFL competition is melbourne, which was formed in nineteen fifty eight. IT is the oldest football team in the world. The team with the largest following today is calling wood, which has seventy two thousand six hundred paid up members. And IT is probably true to say that calling wood is the team which all other football fans love to hate. But I am the fan of accident, which I have followed for ten years.

Six years later, this southern California couple are debt­free with a healthy savings. Here's how the Lloyds managed this remarkable turnaround. After signing up for a six­week class called Financial Peace—they found it through their church; it's based on the best­selling Dave Ramsey's Complete Guide to Money—the Lloyds were inspired to take charge. Sherrie says the class taught her to see that “you can't use your money for the future when it's tied to the past.” Using Ramsey's financial principles, they first saved up $1，000 for an emergency fund. Then they consolidated their nine credit cards down to two and employed Ramsey's “snowball” approach by paying off their smallest debts first before dealing with the larger amounts. Their final—and toughest—step was to transfer their remaining debt—$18，000—onto one interest­free card and then give themselves an 18­month deadline to pay it off. It might be more doable than you think. The effectiveness of the Lloyds' financial plan came from their ability to see progress right away. By paying off $1，000 in credit card debt per month, Sherrie and Michael could actually see the debt going down. They also solved their problem as a team.“In a marriage, you're in it together—both working towards a solution together，” Sherrie says. To make this happen, they had to give up a few trips. It also meant saying no to certain luxuries, like eating out and going to the movies or amusement parks.“Know what's important to you. For us, it was important to figure out our goals and pay off debts，”Sherrie says. She quotes one of Ramsey's bits of wisdom：“Adults make a plan and stick to it, and children just do whatever they feel like doing.” 【解题导语】　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一对美国夫妇是如何度过债务危机的。 24．What did Sherrie learn from Financial Peace?

C　解析：细节理解题。根据第二段内容可知，Financial Peace这一课程教人们如何管理金钱，教给谢莉最重要的就是不要超前消费。 25．What's the key of the Lloyds' financial plan？(　　) A．Doing everything quickly. B．Making gradual progress.

C．Confused. D．Regretful. A　解析：观点态度题。根据最后一段内容可推知，谢莉对为还清债务而做出的牺牲持积极态度。 27．What would be the best title for the passage？(　　) A．How a Couple Got Out of Debts B．How a Class Changed a Couple's Life C．A Couple Became Rich by Spending Wisely D．A Couple Won Financial Freedom by Saving A　解析：标题归纳题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了劳埃德夫妇如何努力摆脱债务，A项最适合作文章标题。 C The human being is a “social animal”， as Aristotle suggested. We have a basic need to be included. Not enough social connection can have a bad effect on both our mental and physical health. Over the past several years, my workmates and I conducted 13 experiments about 1，980 people. We asked them to think about either experiential purchases (buying experiences) or material (物质) purchases (buying materials) they had made and then rate their thoughts and feelings about those purchases. In some of our studies, people reported feeling more connected to someone who had made the same experiential purchase than to someone who had made the same material purchase. This shows the fact that experiential purchases are more central to a person's identity. When people buy the same kind of experience, they feel more alike and connected because they believe these experiences show more about one's true sense of self. Knowing that someone else has a better thing than what you have can make you feel more distant from them. However, we find that this feeling is not strong when it comes to experiences compared to material goods. Moreover, we found that people who were asked to think about an experience they bought were more likely to choose social activities when deciding how to spend their free time. On the other hand, those who were asked to think about things they bought preferred solitary activities. Experiences bring us together and give us memories of those connections that we can look back on. These memories, in turn, can encourage people to take part in more social activities. After the money is spent and the experience is over, purchases of experiences continue to strengthen the relationships they help build. Our research also points to another important conclusion: communities could benefit greatly from promoting activities based on shared experiences. Policymakers (政策制定者) can help by making public spaces like parks, beaches, and museums more accessible. Therefore, people can come together and build stronger connections. 【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。文章通过一系列实验研究，阐述了体验式消费相较于物质消费在增强人与人之间联系方面的优势，以及体验式消费对人们社交行为的影响，还强调了社区基于共享体验开展活动的重要性。 28．What strengthens people's connection according to the experiments？(　　) A．The sense of responsibility. B．The purchase of the same goods. C．The intention of being connected. D．The recognition of each other's identity. D　解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“In some of our studies...show more about one's true sense of self.”可推知，对彼此身份的认同，即因购买相同体验而产生的对真实自我的共同展现，加强了人们之间的联系。 29．What does the underlined word “solitary” in paragraph 4 probably mean？(　　) A．Interesting. B．Separate. C．Important. D．Traditional. B　解析：词义猜测题。根据第四段内容可知，思考购买物品的人倾向的活动与思考购买体验的人倾向的社交活动相反，社交活动是多人参与、相互交流的，那么与之相反的应是单独的、独自的活动，所以solitary意为“单独的，独自的”。 30．What can be inferred about the experiential purchase from paragraph 5？(　　) A．Its role is easy to replace. B．Its importance is widely known. C．Its process is important to record. D．Its value is beyond the immediate enjoyment. D　解析：推理判断题。根据第五段内容可知，体验式消费的价值不仅仅在于当下的享受，还在于它能留下记忆，持续加强人们之间建立的关系。由此可推知，其价值超越了即时的愉悦。 31．Why are policymakers mentioned？(　　) A．To inspire readers. B．To explain a strategy. C.To make suggestions. D．To share an experience. C　解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“communities could benefit ...build stronger connections”可推知，提到政策制定者是为了提出建议，建议政策制定者采取措施，让公共空间更便于人们使用，从而促进基于共享体验的活动，加强人们之间的联系。 D The plot of the story of The Million Pound Bank Note centers on the impossibility of cashing a high valued bank note by a common man. Within this story it is narrated that only two such notes were ever issued and anyone who walks into a bank to cash that note will get himself in trouble. So，do such million pound bank notes really exist? Let's do a bit of digging around for the purpose of satisfying the curiosity over this question. Such high valued pound bank notes do exist，and they were usually used for transactions (交易) within banks. The Bank of England used “one million” and “hundred million” pound bank notes to keep parity (等价) with bank notes issued by Scottish and Northern Irish banks. These notes—the one million ones were called “giants” and came in A5 size and the hundred million ones were called “titans” having an A4 size—were more like IOU documents (legal forms that describe a loan between a lender and a borrower) and they were special issues from the Bank of England to meet the requirement of backing the value of everyday notes issued by banks in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Nine such one million pound notes were issued in connection with the Marshall Plan(the US's post­war aid program to Western Europe)，equal to the loan from the US after World War Ⅱ(WWⅡ) in 1948.After cancellation, of these nine only seven were destroyed and two survived with private collectors. Such high valued notes are not usually found in the normal transactional scenes and it is believed that notes worth eight billion pounds were printed in these heavy denominations (面额) in total. Mark Twain can create humor from narrations of unrealistic and often funny simple situations and The Million Pound Bank Note is a nice example of his storytelling abilities. 【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了现实中真实存在的面值百万英镑的巨额钞票。 32．Why does the author mention The Million Pound Bank Note in paragraph 1？(　　) A．To bring up the topic. B．To question the readers. C．To retell the famous story. D．To support the topic. A　解析：推理判断题。根据第一段至第三段内容可知，作者在首段借《百万英镑》的背景设定提出疑问，并在第二段和第三段进行解释，由此可推知，作者在第一段提及《百万英镑》是为了引出本文的话题。 33．What can we learn about “giants” and “titans”？(　　) A．They were the same size. B．They were sold at a discount. C．They were issued by banks in Scotland. D．They were mainly used within banks. D　解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Such high valued pound bank notes...within banks.”和“These notes...in Scotland and Northern Ireland.”可知，这两种类型的钞票一般只用于银行内部交易。 34．What do we know about the nine 1948 one million pound notes？(　　) A．Seven of them were destroyed in WWⅡ. B．Two of them became private collections. C．All are worth eight billion pounds now. D．All were used by the public at that time.

They choose to be empathetic (understanding others' feelings), to be connected to others, and to be generous. Kindness is good for you too. When you are kind to others you make them feel better and brighten their day. 38.________ Being kind can lower your blood pressure and reduce worry. For example, being kind to rude people in line at the coffee shop or to drivers who cut you off on the road can make you feel better. 39．________ A study found that doing kind things for seven days increased happiness. Even just aiming to do one kind act a week can make you happier. But don't stop there; try to be kind every day. Doing kind things can also make you feel more connected to others and less lonely. And kindness can spread. When you do something kind, it encourages others to be kind too. How can you become kinder? It's easier than you might think. It starts with making a choice.

Yours_sincerely， Li_Hua 第二节(满分25 分) 阅读下面的材料，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。 On the first day of school, I stared in awe at the huge buildings. This high school was definitely bigger than the one I had previously attended. This was my second year of high school, but my first year of school in St. Louis. I had decided the night before that I would be much happier in a new school if I made friends that were so­called“popular”. Getting in with the right group of people would make my life a whole lot better. I even bought a new outfit and had my hair styled just so the first day would be perfect. Scared, yet anxious to begin my new life, I walked up the stairs to the front door. The halls were packed with kids yelling and laughing and telling stories of their summer adventures. My first class was geometry, but where was that? I was standing in the hall looking confused, when a short, blond girl wearing glasses came up and asked，“Are you new? You look lost. Do you need help? My name is Diane. What's yours？” Even though she seemed a bit strange, definitely not the kind of person I wanted to be associated with, I decided to answer her anyway. I was, after all, lost. After exchanging names, I followed her up the stairs and down a hallway on the right, making polite conversation the whole way. When we reached my room, she said，“Well, here you are. Welcome to JFK, and I hope your day goes all right.” I said thanks and waved good­bye. Once inside the classroom, I saw one big group of people huddled around someone who seemed to be telling some sort of story. I walked over and got close enough to overhear. All eyes were glued to the guy in the middle of the circle who was wearing a letter jacket covered with patches. I decided that this guy was popular, so I managed to get a seat right next to him. I said，“Hi, my name is Lisa and I'm new here.”He said，“Johnny.” 注意：续写词数应为150个左右。 At the end of the class, I turned to him and asked，“I'm not sure where my next class is, could you help me？” __________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ Just at that time, someone came up and tapped me on the shoulder. _____________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ One possible version： At the end of the class, I turned to him and asked，“I'm not sure where my next class is, could you help me？”With a frown, he looked at me and then said a quick no, turned back to his friends, and walked out of the classroom. As they were walking out, I heard him say，“Did you guys see that new girl trying to get into our group? That outfit was too strange.”They all laughed and some of them turned around and stared at me. My face hot with shame, I stood stock­still, not believing what had just happened. Just at that time, someone came up and tapped me on the shoulder. It was Diane. Like a ray of sunshine, the big smile on her face swept away my gloom. I struggled to hold my feelings back and told her what I had encountered. A gleam of concern in her eyes, she said she was sorry to hear that and offered to find my next class. At that moment I realized how wrong I was in wanting to only be friends with popular people. Maybe I shouldn't decide whether a person is worth being my friend or not by their reputation, but by who they are. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
