Here are 4 of the best apps that can help you save much money. Capital One Shopping Capital One Shopping can compare prices automatically as you shop online. As you add items to your cart at an online retailer, this app will search the web for better deals and coupon codes. You can follow the links to other retailers offering a better price and use the available codes to save. You can even use this app while shopping at brick-and-mortar (实体的) stores. Paribus There’s nothing more upsetting than buying something and then seeing it for sale at a lower price a few days later. Wouldn’t it be nice to get that money back? Now you can. Paribus helps you get money back by tracking your purchases from major stores and negotiating refunds. It also helps you get compensated (补偿) for late deliveries and makes sure you don’t leave it too late to return anything you bought. Qapital By setting goals and rules, Qapital helps you to make the most of your money and to save wisely. There’s a feature that divides up your commitments between spending and saving. You’ll also be able to take part in “Money Missions”, which are fun challenges designed to give you insight into smart financial investments. If you want to invest too, you can use Qapital’s pre-built portfolios, which are tailor-made (特制的) to the timeline and amount you input. Digit If you can’t figure out how much you can afford to save, Digit will analyze your spending habits and allocate (分配) a certain amount to your savings. If the app knows you have spare money to save, then it will be moved automatically, and if you don’t, it will stop, so there’s no risk of being left with no cash for the basics.

She took the change from it and counted it carefully three times. She carefully placed the coins in a jar and twisted on the cap. She took the jar and slipped out of the back door. She made her way six blocks to a drug store. She waited patiently for the pharmacist (药剂师) to give her some attention but he was too busy attending other customers at that moment. She tried several times to get his attention but failed. Finally, she took a quarter from her jar and hit it on the glass counter, which was finally able to get her some attention. “What do you want, little Miss?” the pharmacist asked the tiny girl in the front of his counter. “My brother is really, really sick and I want to buy a miracle,” the girl answered back. “I beg your pardon?” said the pharmacist. “My brother is really sick and my daddy says only a miracle can cure him now. So, I want to get a miracle for him. How much does it cost?” “I’m sorry but I can’t help you. We don’t sell miracles here, little girl,” the pharmacist said, softening a little. Next to the little girl was a tall well-dressed man. He lowered himself and asked the little girl, “What kind of a miracle does your brother need?” “I don’t know,” the girl replied with her eyes in tears. “I just know he is very sick and has something bad growing inside his head. Doctor says he needs an operation. But daddy can’t afford it, so we need a miracle to save him now. I can use all my money to save my brother.” “How much do you have?” asked the man. “One dollar and twelve cents, it’s all the money I have now, but I can get some more if needed,” the girl answered in a whisper. “Well, what a coincidence,” smiled the man. “That is the exact price of a miracle for a little brother. Take me to your brother. Let’s see if I have the miracle your brother needs.” The man was a famous nuerosurgeon (神经外科医生). He was just the right person needed to save the little boy’s life. The operation was completed without any charges and it went successfully. Her mommy wondered how much it would have cost. The little girl just smiled, but said nothing. 41. The girl took the money out of the piggy bank to ______. A. keep it in her bank account B. buy her brother a miracle C. cover the debt at the drugstore D. donate it to a needy child 42. Why did the little girl hit a quarter on the glass counter? A. To let off her steam. B. To show off her wealth. C. To get timely service. D. To attract other customers. 43. What can we learn from the conversation between the girl and the doctor? A. Her father was embarrassed for lack of money. B. Her brother suffered from head injuries. C. She was confident in saving her brother. D. He was ready to help the little girl. 44. What the surgeon did implies that he is ______. A. considerate and honest B. gentle and open-minded C. brave and creative D. kind and professional 45. What’s the best title of this passage? A. The Price of a Miracle B. A Special Day at the Drugstore C. A Doctor with Kindness D. The Survival of a Strong-willed Boy C A recent study published in the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science offers new findings about why people take different types of photos. The research reveals that individuals use first-person photography — capturing a scene from their own perspective — primarily to document a physical experience. In contrast, they opt for third-person photos, such as selfies where they are visible in the frame, to convey the deeper meaning of an event and to immerse viewers in the scene. This distinction is crucial for understanding the psychology behind photo-taking. Earlier studies on selfies primarily focused on how individuals present themselves to others, often emphasizing the role of the self-image and social media. However, this new research shifts the focus to why people capture memories, emphasizing the different goals behind their photo-taking choices. According to Zachary Niese, a psychologist at the University of Tübingen in Germany and co-author of the study, “Our findings show that people take both types of photos in different situations, depending on whether their goal is to capture the physical experience of the moment or its broader significance in their life.” The study, which included six experiments with over 2,100 participants, found that when the goal is to capture meaning, individuals are more likely to take selfies. They also tend to find greater meaning in third-person photos than in first-person ones. This suggests that the chosen perspective can significantly affect how meaningful a photo feels to the viewer. Interestingly, people tend to prefer their photos when the perspective corresponds to their initial purpose of taking them. Niese adds, “Although taking photos is often ridiculed in popular culture, personal photography can help individuals reconnect with past experiences and shape their self-narratives.” The researchers caution against assuming that one perspective is inherently better than the other. Instead, the most effective choice depends on the individual’s goal at the moment — whether it’s to capture a physical experience, like touring a museum, or the deeper meaning of an event, such as a wedding or graduation. This study emphasizes the complex relationship between photography and personal memory, showing how our intentions shape the way we document and revisit our experiences. By recognising the different purposes of photo-taking, we can better appreciate photography’s role in our lives as both a form of self-expression and a tool for preserving memories. 46. What does the new research focus on? A. The psychology of photo-taking choices. B. The advantages of first-person photography. C. The cultural factors influencing photo choices. D. The way people record their memories through photos. 47. According to Niese, why do people primarily take personal photos? A. To capture the feeling of the moment. B. To boost people’s self-confidence. C. To enhance one’s public image. D. To document everyday life. 48. People tend to like their photos better when ________. A. they are taken in popular culture B. the perspective matches their original purpose C. they are shared widely on social media D. they record only wonderful experiences 49. Why does the author mention “a wedding or graduation” in Paragraph 4? A. To highlight the popularity of selfies. B. To criticize third-person photos at important events. C. To suggest first-person photos are unsuitable for such events. D. To explain why third-person photos convey significant moments. 50. What conclusion can be drawn from the last paragraph? A. The purpose of photo-taking shapes its value. B. Photography captures physical experiences. C. Photo-taking is mainly for self-presentation. D. Photography has little effect on memory recall. D How many times have you found yourself in conversations with friends, family members or loved ones and discovered that you had completely tuned out to what they were saying? How much of our attention are we truly giving to the people who are supposed to be important to us? According to research cited by Wright State University, while most people believe they are good listeners who don’t need to improve their listening skills, the average person only listens at about 25 percent efficiency. So why aren’t we better listeners? As a society, we may be growing more narcissistic (自我陶醉的). A 2007 study found a rise in self-centeredness and narcissism among college students. If we, as a culture, are becoming more self-centered, how can we, as individuals, work to become more caring and compassionate communicators? We can begin by changing our attitudes toward conversations. As Stephen R. Covey wrote in The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change, “Most people do not listen with the intent to understand but to reply.” A dialogue is an opportunity to learn, to see things from a new perspective, to open your eyes to new information and possibilities. Yet, too often we engage in conversation as if it’s a debate. We speak to hear our own voices — our own pre-existing opinions. In doing so, we tend to space out when spoken to. We wait, perhaps even patiently or politely, for the other person to finish, so we can say something we feel is of value. Playwright Wilson Mizner said, “A good listener is not only popular everywhere, but after a while, he knows something.” Listening doesn’t just expand our knowledge on an intellectual level; it enables us to have a more personal, in-depth understanding of our closest friends. Relationships are truly enriched by an equal back-and-forth exchange in communication. When these dynamics become more one-sided, we tend to lose interest and create distance in our friendships, with less trust established, less honesty exchanged. Thankfully, we can all improve our listening skills. Maybe we aren’t as good a listener as we believe. Do we tend to focus too much on ourselves — both in positive and negative ways? Do we get distracted by an inner coach, rather than living in the moment and really engaging in what’s being said? As we learn to quiet that inner voice in our minds, we can start to open ourselves up to others, becoming better listeners, thinkers, lovers and friends. 51. What is the author’s purpose in showing the social phenomena in Paragraph 1? A. To show most people are confident about their listening skills. B. To express his concerns about people’s lack of attention when talking. C. To introduce the fact that people have low efficiency of listening in life. D. To provide some information about how people behave in conversation. 52. Why does the author cite the research data from the year 2007? A. To prove college students have become more self-cenfered and narcissistic over time. B. To show the belief in people’s listening skills is outdated and needs to be updated. C. To provide an example of how society’s narcissism affects personal relationships. D. To support the argument that society is becoming more self-centered and narcissistic. 53. Based on the views of Stephen R. Covey and Wilson Mizner, which of the following statements is true? A. People should listen to learn and see things from a new perspective. B. A good listener is popular but does not necessarily know everything. C. Most people listen with the intention to understand, not to reply. D. We should speak to hear our own voices and pre-existing opinions. 54. What does the underline phrase “space out” in Paragraph 4mean? A. Become focused. B. Feel confused. C. Be absent-minded. D. Remain anxious. 55. Which of the following titles best captures the main idea? A. The Decline of Listening in Modern Society B. Improving Listening Skills for Better Relationships C. The Impact of Narcissism on Social Communication D. Why We Should Listen More and Speak Less V. 阅读表达（共5个小题，每题2分，共10分） 阅读表达 I used to be a selfish girl and I only thought of myself. I did not care about helping others, but only about my look, clothes, money and grades. One day, I was suddenly influenced by my neighbor, who is now in college, and ended up wanting to volunteer for others. He had so much fun with volunteering and told me that he felt extremely good after helping others. I hoped to get the same results, for I felt worthless everywhere then. I viewed almost everything in a negative way, and I figured I had to experience something that would make me appreciate things that I had. I volunteered at the nursing home for a year where my neighbor volunteered. I brought snacks, coffee and games for the elderly patients, talked to them while sharing snacks, and played games like chess and checkers with them. Because they were Koreans, they often had trouble communicating with the helpers who were hired to help them. I sometimes translated things for them and offered to be their translator whenever they needed help. By volunteering at the nursing home,I changed a lot. I realized how lucky I am to speak both Korean and English and that I should help other people learn Korean as well. I had learned many life lessons through volunteering. By helping others, I felt needed in society. Not only did it boost my confidence, but it also allowed others to benefit from it. Volunteering is a great opportunity to improve oneself, others, and the whole society. So if you ever have the chance, volunteer! It's something you won't regret 56.

When walking down the street, I came across David, who I _____ for years. A. didn’t see B. haven’t seen C. hadn’t seen D. wouldn’t see 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查动词时态。句意：当沿着街道散步的时候，我遇见了多年未见的David。根据语境，“not see”这个动作发生在come across之前，是过去的过去发生的动作，用过去完成时。故选C。 【名师点睛】英语中的时态主要由动词的形式决定，因此在学习英语时态时，要注意分析动词形式及具体语境，想象在那个特定的时间动作所发生的背景，这个动作是经常性动作、一般性动作、进行性动作、完成性动作还是将要发生的动作。过去完成时是一个相对的时态，表示过去的过去的动作，还有一个特点就是和过去的一段时间搭配。 12.

A. nonetheless B. otherwise C. furthermore D. consequently 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：这项新政策远非完美，还招致了一些批评；尽管如此，它仍被普遍认为是朝着正确方向迈出的一步。A. nonetheless尽管如此，然而；B. otherwise否则，要不然；C. furthermore此外，而且；D. consequently因此，结果。前半句：政策不完美、遭批评（负面），后半句：被认可、方向正确（正面），前后是转折让步关系，nonetheless符合逻辑。 15.

She took the change from it and counted it carefully three times. She carefully placed the coins in a jar and twisted on the cap. She took the jar and slipped out of the back door. She made her way six blocks to a drug store. She waited patiently for the pharmacist (药剂师) to give her some attention but he was too busy attending other customers at that moment. She tried several times to get his attention but failed. Finally, she took a quarter from her jar and hit it on the glass counter, which was finally able to get her some attention. “What do you want, little Miss?” the pharmacist asked the tiny girl in the front of his counter. “My brother is really, really sick and I want to buy a miracle,” the girl answered back. “I beg your pardon?” said the pharmacist. “My brother is really sick and my daddy says only a miracle can cure him now. So, I want to get a miracle for him. How much does it cost?” “I’m sorry but I can’t help you. We don’t sell miracles here, little girl,” the pharmacist said, softening a little. Next to the little girl was a tall well-dressed man. He lowered himself and asked the little girl, “What kind of a miracle does your brother need?” “I don’t know,” the girl replied with her eyes in tears. “I just know he is very sick and has something bad growing inside his head. Doctor says he needs an operation. But daddy can’t afford it, so we need a miracle to save him now. I can use all my money to save my brother.” “How much do you have?” asked the man. “One dollar and twelve cents, it’s all the money I have now, but I can get some more if needed,” the girl answered in a whisper. “Well, what a coincidence,” smiled the man. “That is the exact price of a miracle for a little brother. Take me to your brother. Let’s see if I have the miracle your brother needs.” The man was a famous nuerosurgeon (神经外科医生). He was just the right person needed to save the little boy’s life. The operation was completed without any charges and it went successfully. Her mommy wondered how much it would have cost. The little girl just smiled, but said nothing. 41.

The research reveals that individuals use first-person photography — capturing a scene from their own perspective — primarily to document a physical experience. In contrast, they opt for third-person photos, such as selfies where they are visible in the frame, to convey the deeper meaning of an event and to immerse viewers in the scene. This distinction is crucial for understanding the psychology behind photo-taking. Earlier studies on selfies primarily focused on how individuals present themselves to others, often emphasizing the role of the self-image and social media. However, this new research shifts the focus to why people capture memories, emphasizing the different goals behind their photo-taking choices. According to Zachary Niese, a psychologist at the University of Tübingen in Germany and co-author of the study, “Our findings show that people take both types of photos in different situations, depending on whether their goal is to capture the physical experience of the moment or its broader significance in their life.” The study, which included six experiments with over 2,100 participants, found that when the goal is to capture meaning, individuals are more likely to take selfies. They also tend to find greater meaning in third-person photos than in first-person ones. This suggests that the chosen perspective can significantly affect how meaningful a photo feels to the viewer. Interestingly, people tend to prefer their photos when the perspective corresponds to their initial purpose of taking them. Niese adds, “Although taking photos is often ridiculed in popular culture, personal photography can help individuals reconnect with past experiences and shape their self-narratives.” The researchers caution against assuming that one perspective is inherently better than the other. Instead, the most effective choice depends on the individual’s goal at the moment — whether it’s to capture a physical experience, like touring a museum, or the deeper meaning of an event, such as a wedding or graduation. This study emphasizes the complex relationship between photography and personal memory, showing how our intentions shape the way we document and revisit our experiences. By recognising the different purposes of photo-taking, we can better appreciate photography’s role in our lives as both a form of self-expression and a tool for preserving memories. 46. What does the new research focus on? A. The psychology of photo-taking choices. B. The advantages of first-person photography. C. The cultural factors influencing photo choices. D. The way people record their memories through photos. 47. According to Niese, why do people primarily take personal photos? A. To capture the feeling of the moment. B. To boost people’s self-confidence. C. To enhance one’s public image. D. To document everyday life. 48. People tend to like their photos better when ________. A. they are taken in popular culture B. the perspective matches their original purpose C. they are shared widely on social media D. they record only wonderful experiences 49. Why does the author mention “a wedding or graduation” in Paragraph 4? A. To highlight the popularity of selfies. B. To criticize third-person photos at important events. C. To suggest first-person photos are unsuitable for such events. D. To explain why third-person photos convey significant moments. 50. What conclusion can be drawn from the last paragraph? A. The purpose of photo-taking shapes its value. B. Photography captures physical experiences. C. Photo-taking is mainly for self-presentation. D. Photography has little effect on memory recall. 【答案】46.

(然而这项新研究将重点转向人们记录记忆的原因，强调拍照选择背后的不同目的。)”可知，这项新研究聚焦人们拍照选择背后的心理。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Our findings show that people take both types of photos in different situations, depending on whether their goal is to capture the physical experience of the moment or its broader significance in their life. (研究发现人们在不同场景拍摄不同类型照片，取决于目的是捕捉当下真实体验还是记录人生深层意义。)”可知，人们拍个人照片主要是为了捕捉当下的感受。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Interestingly, people tend to prefer their photos when the perspective corresponds to their initial purpose of taking them. (有趣的是，当拍摄视角与最初拍照目的相符时，人们会更喜欢自己的照片。)”可知，视角与初衷一致时人们更偏爱自己的照片。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Instead, the most effective choice depends on the individual’s goal at the moment — whether it’s to capture a physical experience, like touring a museum, or the deeper meaning of an event, such as a wedding or graduation. (最佳拍摄选择取决于当下目的，或是记录参观博物馆这类实际体验，或是记录婚礼、毕业典礼这类有深层意义的事件。)”可知，作者举例是为了说明第三人称照片适合承载重要时刻的深层意义。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。通读最后一段，尤其是尾段中的“This study emphasizes the complex relationship between photography and personal memory, showing how our intentions shape the way we document and revisit our experiences. (该研究强调摄影与个人记忆的复杂关系，表明拍照意图塑造了我们记录和回味经历的方式。)”可知，拍照的目的决定了拍摄方式与价值意义。 D How many times have you found yourself in conversations with friends, family members or loved ones and discovered that you had completely tuned out to what they were saying? How much of our attention are we truly giving to the people who are supposed to be important to us? According to research cited by Wright State University, while most people believe they are good listeners who don’t need to improve their listening skills, the average person only listens at about 25 percent efficiency. So why aren’t we better listeners? As a society, we may be growing more narcissistic (自我陶醉的). A 2007 study found a rise in self-centeredness and narcissism among college students. If we, as a culture, are becoming more self-centered, how can we, as individuals, work to become more caring and compassionate communicators? We can begin by changing our attitudes toward conversations. As Stephen R. Covey wrote in The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change, “Most people do not listen with the intent to understand but to reply.” A dialogue is an opportunity to learn, to see things from a new perspective, to open your eyes to new information and possibilities. Yet, too often we engage in conversation as if it’s a debate. We speak to hear our own voices — our own pre-existing opinions. In doing so, we tend to space out when spoken to. We wait, perhaps even patiently or politely, for the other person to finish, so we can say something we feel is of value. Playwright Wilson Mizner said, “A good listener is not only popular everywhere, but after a while, he knows something.” Listening doesn’t just expand our knowledge on an intellectual level; it enables us to have a more personal, in-depth understanding of our closest friends. Relationships are truly enriched by an equal back-and-forth exchange in communication. When these dynamics become more one-sided, we tend to lose interest and create distance in our friendships, with less trust established, less honesty exchanged. Thankfully, we can all improve our listening skills. Maybe we aren’t as good a listener as we believe. Do we tend to focus too much on ourselves — both in positive and negative ways? Do we get distracted by an inner coach, rather than living in the moment and really engaging in what’s being said? As we learn to quiet that inner voice in our minds, we can start to open ourselves up to others, becoming better listeners, thinkers, lovers and friends. 51.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要分析了人们为什么不能成为很好的倾听者的原因，并给出了如何正确倾听的建议，指出了倾听对人际关系的重要性。 【51题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“According to research cited by Wright State University, while most people believe they are good listeners who don’t need to improve their listening skills, the average person only listens at about 25 percent efficiency.”（根据莱特州立大学引用的研究，虽然大多数人认为他们是好的倾听者，不需要提高他们的倾听技巧，但一般人的倾听效率只有25%左右。）可知，第一段中所展示的社会现象是为了引出在生活中，人们倾听效率较低的这一事实。故选C。 【52题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“As a society, we may be growing more narcissistic (自我陶醉的). A 2007 study found a rise in self-centeredness and narcissism among college students.”（作为一个社会，我们可能变得越来越自恋。2007年的一项研究发现，大学生的自我中心和自恋倾向有所上升。）可知，作者引用2007年的一个调查数据，是为了支持社会正在变得越来越自我和自恋这一观点。故选D。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段Stephen R. Covey的观点“A dialogue is an opportunity to learn, to see things from a new perspective, to open your eyes to new information and possibilities.”（对话是一个学习的机会，是从一个新的角度看问题，看到新的信息和可能性的机会。）和第五段Wilson Mizner的话“A good listener is not only popular everywhere, but after a while, he knows something.”（一个好的倾听者不仅在任何地方都受欢迎，而且不久之后，他就会知道一些事情。）可知，一个好的倾听者是应该通过倾听，学习到一些知识和信息，从新的角度来看问题的。故选A。 【54题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第四段“We speak to hear our own voices — our own pre-existing opinions.”（我们说话是为了听到自己的声音——我们自己已有的观点。）和“We wait, perhaps even patiently or politely, for the other person to finish, so we can say something we feel is of value.”（我们耐心地、礼貌地等着对方把话说完，这样我们才能说一些我们觉得有价值的话。）可知，在对话过程中，我们关注的只是等对方把话说完后，来表达自己的观点，所以在对方讲话时，我们不会很专注倾听，容易心不在焉；结合划线词所在句“In doing so, we tend to space out when spoken to.”（在这样做的时候，当别人对我们说话时，我们往往会space out。）可知，“space out”表示“走神，心不在焉”。故选C。 【55题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“We can begin by changing our attitudes toward conversations.”（我们可以从改变我们对对话的态度开始。）和最后一段“Thankfully, we can all improve our listening skills.”（感谢的是，我们都可以提高我们的倾听技巧。）、“As we learn to quiet that inner voice in our minds, we can start to open ourselves up to others, becoming better listeners, thinkers, lovers and friends.”（当我们学会让内心的声音安静下来时，我们就可以开始向别人敞开心扉，成为更好的倾听者、思考者、爱人和朋友。）以及全文内容可知，本文主要讲述了如何通过提高倾听技巧来获得更好的人际关系。故选B。 V. 阅读表达（共5个小题，每题2分，共10分） 阅读表达 I used to be a selfish girl and I only thought of myself. I did not care about helping others, but only about my look, clothes, money and grades. One day, I was suddenly influenced by my neighbor, who is now in college, and ended up wanting to volunteer for others. He had so much fun with volunteering and told me that he felt extremely good after helping others. I hoped to get the same results, for I felt worthless everywhere then. I viewed almost everything in a negative way, and I figured I had to experience something that would make me appreciate things that I had. I volunteered at the nursing home for a year where my neighbor volunteered. I brought snacks, coffee and games for the elderly patients, talked to them while sharing snacks, and played games like chess and checkers with them. Because they were Koreans, they often had trouble communicating with the helpers who were hired to help them. I sometimes translated things for them and offered to be their translator whenever they needed help. By volunteering at the nursing home,I changed a lot. I realized how lucky I am to speak both Korean and English and that I should help other people learn Korean as well. I had learned many life lessons through volunteering. By helping others, I felt needed in society. Not only did it boost my confidence, but it also allowed others to benefit from it. Volunteering is a great opportunity to improve oneself, others, and the whole society. So if you ever have the chance, volunteer! It's something you won't regret 56.

He had so much fun with volunteering and told me that he felt extremely good after helping others. I hoped to get the same results, for I felt worthless everywhere then.(有一天，我突然受到了我的邻居的影响，他现在正在上大学，最后我想为别人做志愿者。他在志愿服务中得到了很多乐趣，他告诉我，在帮助别人之后，他感觉非常好。我希望得到同样的结果，因为那时我觉得自己在任何地方都毫无价值)”可知，作者受到作志愿者的邻居的影响，也想通过做志愿者得到乐趣，让自己感觉更好一些，所以想去当志愿者。故答案为Because she wanted to experience some positive changes. 【58题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段“Because they were Koreans, they often had trouble communicating with the helpers who were hired to help them. I sometimes translated things for them and offered to be their translator whenever they needed help.(由于他们是韩国人，他们经常与雇佣来帮助他们的助手沟通困难。我有时会为他们翻译一些东西，并在他们需要帮助的时候提供翻译)”可知，当老年患者与工作人员沟通有困难时，作者会为他们翻译东西，提供翻译服务。故答案为She offered to be their translator whenever they needed help. 【59题详解】 考查词句猜测。划线词所在段介绍了志愿者工作给作者带来的积极影响，结合划线词所在句“Not only did it enhance my confidence, but it also allowed others to benefit from it.(这不仅enhance了我的信心，也让别人从中受益)”中“my confidence”可推知，志愿者工作“增强”了作者的自信心，enhance的意思是“增强，提高”，可用Improve/ Increase/Enhance/Raise来解释。故答案为Improve/ Increase/Enhance/Raise. 【60题详解】 开放性试题。言之有理，注意词数。比如：根据“你觉得做志愿者怎么样？”可回答：我认为志愿服务不仅可以帮助那些需要帮助的人，也有利于给予者和社会。故答案为I think volunteering not only helps those who need help, but also benefits the givers and the society. 76. 作文（共25分） 61. 假设你是晨光中学的李津。在一次关于“未来职业规划”的主题班会上，你展示了学生会的一项调查结果，并就此发表演讲。请根据以下图表信息，写一篇演讲稿。 ■高薪/热门行业 60% ■轻松/稳定工作 30% ■需要长期钻研/冷门但有意义的领域 10% 演讲内容需包括： (1)简要描述图表所反映的现象。 (2)分析出现这种现象的原因，并结合“工匠精神”谈谈你对这种现象的看法。 (3)呼吁同学们深入思考，做出理性的职业选择。 参考词汇 工匠精神 the spirit of craftsmanship； 职业倾向 career preference； 饼图 pie chart 注意： 1.词数不少于100词； 2.可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； 3.开头结尾已给出，不计入字数。 Dear classmates, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thanks for your listening! 【答案】Dear classmates, Today I’d like to share the Student Union’s career preference survey results. As the pie chart shows, 60% of us favor high-paying or popular industries, 30% prefer easy and stable jobs, while only 10% would choose less popular but meaningful fields requiring long-term dedication. This trend stems from our pursuit of material comfort and stability. Yet we shouldn’t ignore the spirit of craftsmanship — focusing on a field, honing skills, and pursuing excellence regardless of immediate gains. Those underestimated fields like traditional crafts and basic research drive social progress and bring profound fulfillment. Let’s look beyond temporary benefits, think about our passions and society’s needs, and make rational career choices. Thanks for your listening! 【解析】 【导语】题目要求考生以李津的身份，结合饼图数据发表关于职业规划的演讲，需分析现象、结合工匠精神谈看法并呼吁理性选择。 【详解】1.词汇积累 偏好，喜爱：favor → prefer 源于，来自：stem from → originate from 忽视：ignore → neglect/overlook 专注于：focus on → concentrate on 2.句式拓展 同义句转换 原句：Those underestimated fields like traditional crafts and basic research drive social progress and bring profound fulfillment. 拓展句：Those underestimated fields like traditional crafts and basic research not only drive long-term social progress but also bring individuals profound sense of fulfillment. 【点睛】[高分句型1] As the pie chart shows, 60% of us favor high-paying or popular industries, 30% prefer easy and stable jobs, while only 10% would choose less popular but meaningful fields requiring long-term dedication.
