A 教材同步单元练习 一、阅读理解 Passage A In recent years,a growing number of financial experts have begun to advocate for a radical shift in how we think about money.They argue that the traditional model of working hard,saving diligently,and retiring wealthy is not only outdated but also potentially damaging to our well-being.Instead,they propose a concept known as "financial mindfulness,"which emphasizes the conscious,intentional use of money to align with one's core values and life goals.This approach moves beyond the simple accumulation of wealth and focuses on the psychological and emotional aspects of financial decisions The core idea of financial mindfulness is to understand the"why"behind every dollar you eamn and spend.For instance,a person who values experiences over possessions might consciously choose to invest in travel or leamning a new skill rather than buying a luxury car.This is not about being frugal or denying oneself pleasure,rather,it's about maximizing the emotional return on investment.Studies have shown that spending money on experiential purchases-like concert tickets or a weekend trip-leads to greater and more lasting happiness compared to spending on material goods.The reason is that experiences become a part of our identity and create shared memories,whereas material possessions often lead to adaptation and comparison. Moreover,financial mindfulness encourages a healthier relationship with debt and risk.Rather than seeing debt as a sign of failure,it can be viewed as a strategic tool for future investment,such as a mortgage for a home or a student loan for education,provided it is managed with intention.Similarly,it redefinesrisk" not just as the possibility of losing money,but also as the opportunity cost of not investing in something meaningful.The greatest risk,from this perspective,might not be a market downtumn but rather a life lived out of alignment with one's values,where money is the master,not the servant. Critics,however,point out that this philosophy is a privilege of the middle and upper classes.For those struggling to meet their basic needs for food and shelter,the idea of"financial mindfulness"can seem abstract and impractical.For them,the immediate challenge is survival,not optimizing their emotional return on every dollar.Nevertheless,proponents argue that even small steps towards mindfulness,such as tracking one's spending for a week to identify where money goes,can be empowering for anyone, regardless of income level.By shifting the focus from "how much"to"why,"financial mindfulness offers a more holistic and potentially more satisfying path to economic well-being. ()1.What is the main argument of the passage? A.The traditional model of wealth accumulation is the most effective B.People should be more fiugal to avoid financial risk. C.Financial mindfulness prioritizes alignment of money use with personal values. D.Experiential purchases provide no greater happiness than material goods. ()2.The phrase"emotional return on investment"in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to A.the financial profit gained from an investment B.the risk associated with a particular purchase C.the feelings of happiness or fulfillment a purchase brings D.the strategic value of a financial decision ()3.According to the passage,how does a financially mindful person view debt? A.As a clear sign of personal failure. B.As a necessary evil that should be avoided. C.As a potential strategic tool for future growth. D.As the primary source of financial anxiety ()4.What is the main criticism of financial mindfulness mentioned in the passage? A.It is only suitable for high-income earners. B.It requires too much time and effort to implement. C.It cannot be applied to large investments like real estate. D.It ignores the emotional benefits of saving money. Passage B The concept of"value"has long been a cornerstone of economic theory,typically defined as the monetary worth of a good or service.Yet,a parallel,and arguably more profound,conversation is taking place in the fields of philosophy and psychology,where value is understood as a set of guiding principles that shape our choices and define our character.The intersection of these two definitions-economic value and moral value-lies at the heart of many of our most challenging personal and societal decisions. On a personal level,the choices we make with our money are a direct reflection of our moral values. Every purchase is a vote for a certain kind of world.Choosing to buy organic food supports sustainable agriculture;investing in a company with fair labor practices promotes ethical business;and donating to a charity aligns with a personal belief in altruism.This act of"voting with your wallet"is a powerful,non- political form of self-expression.However,this relationship is often complicated by the realities of modemn capitalism.A product may be ethically sourced but too expensive for a lower-income family,creating a tension between moral ideals and economic constraints. This tension becomes even more pronounced at a societal level.A nation's budget is its single greatest statement of its collective values.Where a government allocates its financial resources-whether to healthcare,education,defense,or infrastructure-reveals what it truly prioritizes.The debate over public spending is rarely just about numbers,it is a debate about what we value most as a society.For instance, the decision to fund a space program versus a poverty alleviation program is a decision about which form of exploration or human need holds greater weight.These choices define a society's character,influencing everything from public health to scientific progress. The value of money,therefore,is not simply the number printed on a banknote or displayed on a financial statement.Its true value is realized in the actions it enables and the principles it serves.It is a tool that can be used to build or to destroy,to nourish or to exploit,to liberate or to control.The most important financial skill is not how to accumulate the largest possible sum,but how to wield that tool with wisdom and integrity.Ultimately,our relationship with money is a miror of our relationship with the world and with ourselves,revealing who we are not just by what we have,but by what we choose to do with it. ()1.What does the "act of voting with your wallet"in paragraph 2 refer to? A.Using money to influence political elections. B.Choosing products based on their charitable donations. C.Making purchasing decisions that reflect one's ethical beliefs. D.Investing only in companies that are financially profitable. ()2.According to the passage,a nation's budget reveals A.the efficiency of its tax collection system B.its government's popularity among its citizens C.its collective moral and social priorities D.the total amount of wealth its economy generates ()3.The author argues that the true value of money is A.its purchasing power in the global economy B.the actions it enables and the principles it serves C.the sum total of a person's accumulated assets D.the financial security it provides for the future ()4.What is the author's overall attitude toward the relationship between money and value? A.Deeply critical and pessimistic B.Balanced and philosophical C.Pragmatic and focused on financial gain. D.Overly idealistic and unrealistic. 二、完形填空 A wealthy man was once walking down a busy city street,consumed by his own thoughts.He was so focused on his next big business deal that he(1) notice the small,grimy figure of a boy sitting against a wall.The boy,who looked no older than ten,was quietly polishing a man's shoes with a worn- out cloth.He worked with a seriousness and (2) that seemed beyond his years. As the wealthy man passed,the boy looked up,his eyes (3) with a strange mix of tiredness and hope."Please,sir,can I shine your shoes?"he asked,his voice barely a whisper against the city's noise. The man,annoyed by the interruption,waved his hand(4) and said,"No,boy.I'm in a hurry." But the boy did not give up.He pointed to the man's expensive leather shoes,now dusty from the walk. "Five cents,sir.Just five cents,and they'll be like(5) again." Something in the boy's persistence made the man stop.He saw the (6) in the boy's clothes,the hunger in his face,but also a dignity that money could not buy.Reaching into his pocket,he pulled out a crisp five-dollar bill.He leaned down and pressed it into the boy's hand."Here.Buy yourself a good meal.I don't need my shoes polished."To his(7) the boy did not jump for joy.Instead,he looked at the bill,then back at the man,his brow furrowed in confusion. "Sir,"the boy said slowly,as if searching for the right words,"this is a lot of money.But it's not(8) I eam my keep.I shine shoes.That's how I help my mother."He held out the bill,trying to give it back."I don't want a(9).I want to work for my supper."

In the classic short story The Million Pound Note by Mark Twain,two wealthy brothers make a bet.One brother believes that a poor,honest man given a one-million-pound banknote could survive for a month without spending it,while the other brother believes the man would be arrested or starve.They select a penniless American clerk named Henry Adams,who is stranded in London,and give him the note, believing it is worthless for daily transactions since no one can make change for it. The story is a satire on the power of appearances.Although Hemy cannot spend the note,he uses the mere possession of it to create a reputation of immense wealth.He admits his inability to change the note. but people assume this is the mark of a true millionaire.He dines at a fancy restaurant,and the owner is eager to extend credit to such a wealthy patron.He orders a suit from a tailor,who is initially rude but becomes overly servile upon seeing the note.Through a combination of bluff and the profound psychological impact of the banknote,Henry gains access to the highest levels of society,is offered a job with a huge salary(which he cannot take due to the bet's terms),and even wins the heart of a beautiful young woman. Twain's story effectively criticizes a society that equates a person's worth with their visible wealth.The note itself is a fiction-it is not in circulation and cannot be used legally for ordinary purchases-yet it wields more power than any real currency because of the beliefit inspires.Everyone wants to be associated with Heny,not because of who he is,but because of what they think he owns.The story's enduring popularity lies in its timeless exploration of this theme. In the end,Henry not only survives the month but also succeeds in investing the note(with the help of a fiiend),becoming truly wealthy on his own merit.The brothers'bet is resolved,and the story concludes with a happy ending,but not before Twain has delivered his sharp critique on the superficial nature of a society obsessed with financial status.The million-pound note symbolizes the immense,often blind,trust we place in the symbols of wealth,while frequently overlooking the actual person behind the symbol. 1.What is the central condition of the bet the two wealthy brothers make at the beginning of the story? 2.How does Heny Adams manage to survive for a month without actually spending the million-pound note?Give two examples from the text. 3.What does the author mean by calling the story a"satire on the power of appearances"? 4.According to the passage,what is the main source of the one-million-pound note's power? 5.What is the ultimate outcome for Henry Adams at the end of the story,and how does this outcome contribute to the story's overall message? 四、短文填空 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 The concept of money has evolved dramatically over centuries.Long before coins and notes,people relied on a system of barter,which involved the direct(1) ofgoods and services.This system, however,had a significant limitation:the"double coincidence of wants."It meant that for a trade to occur, each party had to have something the other desired. The introduction of precious metals,like gold and silver,as a medium of exchange was a(2) step.These metals were(3) valued,divisible,and durable,solving many of the problems of barter.They became a store of value and a standard for deferred payment,allowing people to save their wealth and plan for the future.This marked the birth of what we now call commodity money,where the item itself has intrinsic (4) The next major leap was the creation of paper money and,later,digital currency.Unlike commodity money,modemn currencies are "fiat"money.Their value is not derived from a physical commodity like gold.(5) it comes from the trust and confidence of the people who use it,backed by the government that issues it.This system is (6) efficient,but it relies entirely on the(7) of the issuing government's economy. Today,in an increasingly digital world,the nature of money is once again being questioned.(8) the rise of cryptocurrencies and mobile payment systems,the line between money and information is bluring.The"value"of money is now more than ever based on a collective agreement. We must constantly ask ourselves:what gives this money its worth?The answer often comes back to a simple but powerful concept-trust.It is a lesson from(9) past that remains critically important to our (10) future. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 8. 9. 10. 一、 阅读理解Passage A:1.C2.C3.C4.A Passage B:1.C2.C3.B4.B 1.C,2.A,3.A,4.B,5.A;6.A;7.A,8.B,9.A;10.C,11.D;12.A;13.A;14.C,15. 二、完形填空 C 1.The bet was whether a poor,honest man given a one-million-pound banknote could survive for a month without spending it (or without being anrested/starving).2.He dines at a fancy restaurant,and the owner extends credit to him.He orders a suit from a tailor, who becomes very servile and provides it on credit.3.It means the story criticizes how 三、阅读短文society judges people based on their visible wealth(appearances)rather than their true 回答问题 character,as Heny is treated like royalty simply because he looks like a millionaire.4. The main source of its power is the belief and trust it inspires in others.5.Henry ends up truly wealthy on his own merit.This contributes to the story's overall message that while superficial wealth can open doors,true success and value come from one's own character and actions. 1.exchange 2.revolutionary 3.highly 4.value 5.Instead/Rather 6.extremely 7. 四、短文填空 stability 8.With 9.the 10.financial 五、写作 题目： In your English class,you have been discussing the topic "The Value of Money."Your teacher has asked you to write a short essay expressing your opinion on the following statement: "Money is the most important measure of a person's success." Write an essay ofabout 120-150 words to express your agreement or disagreement with this statement. You should use specific reasons and examples to support your point of view. 范文： Title:True Success Lies Beyond Money I strongly disagree with the statement that money is the most important measure of a person's success. While financial wealth can indicate professional achievement or smart investment,it is a very narrow and often misleading measure of success.True success is multi-faceted.For instance,a dedicated nurse who comforts patients and saves lives,but eamns a modest salary,is hugely successful.Similarly,a teacher who inspires young minds or a volunteer who dedicates their life to helping the poor possesses a wealth of character that no amount of money can buy. Furthermore,many tuly successful people are measured by their integrity,creativity,and the positive impact they have on others.Money can be made and lost,but a person's legacy of kindness,innovation, or service is enduring. Therefore,I believe a person's true value is defined by their character,their contribution to society,and their ability to find purpose and happiness,not by the size of their bank account.Success is about who you are,not just what you own.
