一、阅读理解
Passage 1
In a world obsessed with materialism,the question of whether money can buy happiness has been
debated for centuries.Recent studies in psychology and economics suggest that the relationship is far
more complex than a simple yes or no.While a certain level of income is necessary for basic well-
being,beyond that threshold,additional wealth does not guarantee increased happiness.
Research indicates that the key lies not in how much you have,but in how you use it.Spending
money on experiences-such as travel,concerts,or dining with friends-tends to bring more lasting
satisfaction than purchasing material goods.Experiences create memories that improve over time,while
objects often lose their appeal.Another factor is spending on others.Prosocial spending,or using
money to help others,has been shown to boost happiness more than spending on oneself.A classic
experiment by Dunn and colleagues found that participants who spent money on others reported higher
levels of happiness than those who spent it on themselves.
However,the pursuit of wealth at the expense of time can be detrimental.People who prioritize eamning
more money over having free time often experience higher stress and lower life satisfaction.A 2016
study by Whillans and others revealed that individuals who valued time over money reported greater
happiness,regardless of their income level.Moreover,the constant comparison with others on social
media can fuel dissatisfaction.When people see others'luxurious lifestyles,they may feel inadequate,
leading to a never-ending cycle of wanting more.
So,does money buy happiness?Only if it's used wisely.Money itself is neutral;its value lies in how
it is managed.As the old saying goes,"Money is a good servant,but a bad master."
()1.What does the research suggest about the relationship between money and happiness?
A.More money always leads to greater happiness.
B.Money has no effect on happiness once basic needs are met.
C.Happiness depends entirely on how much money you have.
D.The way money is used matters more than the amount.
()2.According to paragraph 2,which type of spending brings more lasting satisfaction?
A.Buying expensive clothes.
B.Donating to charity.
C.Spending on experiences.
D.Purchasing the latest gadgets.
()3.What did the 2016 study by Whillans and others find?
A.People who value time are happier regardless of income.
B.People who earn more money are always happier.
C.Free time has no effect on life satisfaction.
D.Stress is unrelated to money management.
()4.The underlined word "prosocial"in paragraph 2 most probably means.
A.self-centered
B.beneficial to others
C.wasteful
D.risky
()5.What is the author's attitude towards money?
A.Money is the root of all evil.
B.Money is a tool that should be used wisely.
C.Money is the only measure of success
D.Money should be avoided as much as possible
Passage 2
In the late 19th century,a poor Scottish farmer named Fleming saved a drowning boy from a swamp.
The boy's father,a wealthy nobleman,offered a reward,but Fleming refused.Instead,the nobleman
offered to pay for Fleming's son's education.Years later,Fleming's son,Alexander Fleming,
discovered penicillin,saving millions of lives.The boy Fleming rescued later grew up to become Sir
Winston Churchill,who was saved by penicillin when he fell ill in 1943.
This story,though often debated for its historical accuracy,illustrates a profound truth about the value
of money and kindness.The nobleman spent his money not on luxury but on an investment in human
potential.His generosity,combined with Fleming's humility,created a chain of events that changed
history.The value of money,therefore,extends beyond its purchasing power,it can be a catalyst for
positive change when used with foresight and compassion.
Yet,in modern society,we often equate money with personal worth.The pursuit of wealth can blind us
to the true values of life:relationships,health,and contribution to society.A 2018 study by the
University of California found that people who defined success by material wealth had lower levels of
well-being than those who defined it by personal growth and social connections.
The Fleming-Churchill connection,whether myth or fact,reminds us that money,when used to serve
others,multiplies its value.The nobleman could have kept his wealth,but he chose to invest in a
child's future.That decision yielded rewards far greater than any financial return.In a world where
the rich get richer and the poor struggle,stories like this encourage us to rethink our priorities.After all,
the best use of money is not to accumulate it,but to use it to make a difference.
()1.What did the nobleman do after Fleming saved his son?
A.He gave Fleming a large sum of money.
B.He funded Fleming's son's education.
C.He gave Fleming a job on his estate.
D.He asked Fleming to work for him.
()2.What is the main lesson of the Fleming-Churchill story according to the author?
A.Money can buy anything,including fame.
B.Generosity can create unexpected long-term benefits.
C.Rich people should always give away their wealth.
D.Poor people are more likely to succeed than rich people.
()3.What does the 2018 study from the University of Califomia show?
A.Material wealth is the best measure of success.
B.People with more money are always happier.
C.Defining success by wealth leads to lower well-being.
D.Personal growth is less important than financial gain.
()4.The author's purpose in writing this passage is to.
A.tell a historical story
B.argue that money is useless
C.encourage readers to use money wisely
D.criticize the wealthy
()5.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.The rich should give all their money away.
B.Money's true value lies in its power to bring positive change.
C.Accumulating wealth is the only way to succeed.
D.Poor people are always more generous than the rich.

三、阅读短文回答问题
Read the following passage and answer the questions in complete sentences.
The concept of "money"has evolved dramatically throughout human history.In early societies,
barter systems were common-people exchanged goods or services directly.However,this system was
inefficient because it required a "double coincidence of wants."For example,a farmer who needed a
new pair of shoes had to find a shoemaker who also wanted the farmer's grain.
To solve this problem,people began using commodities as medium of exchange,such as shells,salt,or
precious metals.These items were widely accepted and had intrinsic value.Eventually,coins made
from gold and silver became standard.The first known coins were minted in Lydia(modern-day
Turkey)around 600 BCE.
Later,paper money emerged in China during the Tang Dynasty(618-907 AD)as a form of receipt for
deposits.This solved the problem of canying heavy coins.In the 17th century,European banks started
issuing banknotes,which were originally backed by gold (the gold standard).However,most countries
abandoned the gold standard in the 20th century,leading to "fiat money"-currency that has value
because the government declares it as legal tender,not because it is backed by a physical commodity.
Today,digital money is transforming the landscape.Ciyptocuirencies like Bitcoin operate on
blockchain technology,allowing peer-to-peer transactions without central banks.While convenient,
they also raise concems about security and regulation.The value of money,whether physical or digital,
ultimately depends on trust in the system that issues it.As the economist John Kenneth Galbraith once
said,"Money is a matter of belief."
1.What was the main disadvantage of the barter system?
2.What did people in early societies use as a medium of exchange besides coins?
3.Where were the first known coins minted?
4.What backs the value of fiat money?
5.What determines the value of money ultimately?
四、短文填空
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入I个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
In today's consumer society,leamning to manage money is a crucial life skill.Many young people,
however,fail to develop good financial habits,often 1.
(lead)to debt and stress.A study by
the National Endowment for Financial Education found that 2.
(near)two-thirds of adults
who receive an inheritance quickly spend it or lose it.This shows that without proper knowledge,even
a large amount of money can become 3.(value).
So,how can we cultivate financial intelligence?First,we need to understand the difference between
"needs"and "wants."A need is something essential for survival,like food and shelter.A want,
on the other hand,is something we desire but can live 4.
For example,a new smartphone is
a want,while a basic phone for communication is a need.
Second,creating a 5.(budget)is essential.Track your income and expenses to see where
your money goes.Many apps can help you do this 6.
(easy).A simple rule is the 50/30/20
rule:spend 50%on needs,30%on wants,and save 20%.This 7.
(approve)method ensures
you live within your means.
Third,start saving early.Even a small amount 8.
(deposit)regularly can grow over time
thanks to compound interest.For instance,saving just $50 a month from age 20 to 30 can yield more
than saving $200 a month from age 30 to 60,because of the power of compounding.
Finally,don't let money control your happiness.Remember that money is 9.
tool,not an
end in itself.Some of the most 10.
(satisfy)experiences in life are free:spending time with
family,enjoying nature,or helping others.As the writer Hemry David Thoreau said,"Wealth is the

范文:
Dear Tom,
I'm glad to receive your letter.You asked me about my view on the value of money.In my opinion,
money is a useful tool,but it is not the most important thing in life.It can buy material comforts,but it
cannot buy true happiness,health,or love.
Money plays a necessary role in daily life.Without it,we can't meet basic needs like food,shelter,or
education.However,when we chase money blindly,we may lose sight of more meaningful things,
such as relationships and personal growth.
To treat money correctly,we should first learn to manage it wisely-saving,budgeting,and spending
responsibly.More importantly,we should not let money define our self-worth.Instead,we should use
it to help others and enrich our experiences.After all,the best things in life are often free.
What's your opinion?I'd love to hear from you.
