In their paper published in the journal Science Advances, Ashley Whillans, Lucia Macchia and Elizabeth Dunn, describe their study and what they learned from it. Most people who have lived for a long time know that there is very often a trade-off(权衡) between doing things that make you happy and doing things to make it possible - like earning more money. For those who are still young and in the process of making major life decisions, the trade-off might not be so obvious. In this new effort, the researchers sought to learn more about the decision-making processes of people about to graduate college, and how those decisions affected their level of happiness just a year later. The researchers administered a two-part survey to the volunteers. The first part asked questions regarding whether they valued time over money or vice vera(相反). They also asked them to rate how happy they were. The first part of the survey was given to 1,000 volunteer students while they were still in college. The second part, which was identical to the first, was given to the same people one year later. The researchers report that in the first survey, nearly two-thirds of respondents reported valuing time over money hiring — a year later, they found that the ratio (比率）had changed somewhat. Fourteen percent of those who had reported valuing money over time switched their answer, while 13 percent of those who had first reported valuing time over money switched. The researchers also reported that those students who had reported valuing money over time while still in school tended to accept jobs that were more income- focused, while those who chose time over money were more focused on working in an environment that they liked. The researchers also found that those who reported valuing time over money on either survey rated themselves as happier than those who valued money over time. 28. The underlined word “those” refers to ______. A. people who work for a year B. college graduates C. college students D. common people 29. How did the researchers get the conclusion? A. By making comparisons. B. By studying previous figures. C. By doing experiments in the lab. D. By collecting information from volunteers 30. From the last paragraph, we know that ______. A.

Those who chose money over time found they were happier. 31. Which do you think would be the proper title of the passage? A. A Study Conducted by Three Researchers B. College Graduates Are Happier C. How Should You Use Time and Money D. You Should Value Time Over Money D Black Myth: Wukong is one of the most highly anticipated Chinese video games ever, a premium title with a blockbuster-worthy budget that emphasizes the country's push to become a global cultural power. The game’s release is a landmark moment for China's gaming industry. It is considered China's first "AAA" title, a big-budget, global game with sophisticated(尖端的) gameplay and advanced visuals. Within hours of its release, there were more than 1.5 million people playing it on Steam, making it the No. 1 game on the online platform. Black Myth: Wukong is adapted from the 16th-century Chinese classic novel Journey to the West. The game's main character is inspired by Sun Wukong, also known as the Monkey King, who battles opponents with a magic iron bar. China’s video game industry is dominated by titles played on smartphones, not big-budget console (主机游戏）or PC games that are released globally. However, Black Myth: Wukong marks a shift as it is being initially released on Sony’s PlayStation 5 and personal computers. In recent years, the industry in China has faced significant challenges. The government has implemented strict regulations to control gaming due to concerns that children could become addicted and negatively influenced. For example, Beijing has introduced rules that prohibit young people from playing games online on school days and impose strict time limits on gaming during weekends and holidays. But the game's launch lit up national pride. One Chinese media outlet noted that the game's default language is Chinese and added, “It feels so good." The global interest in the game also highlighted China's push to exercise its "soft power.”The novel that it is based on is considered one of China's four great classics. The game also depicts important cultural landmarks throughout China. “The success of Black Myth: Wukong is not only a victory for the gaming industry, but also an important milestone in the overseas expansion of Chinese culture,” Yancheng Evening News, a state-owned newspaper, wrote in an article. 32. What do we know about Black Myth: Wukong? A. It focuses on basic gameplay elements. B. It features a world born of pure imagination. C.It shifts China's gaming towards consoles. D. It acts as a landmark for adapting Chinese myth. 33. What challenge has China's gaming industry faced recently? A. Government measures to restrict youth gaming time. B. Insufficient budget for game development. C. Increasing popularity of smart phone games. D. China's lack of emphasis on cultural soft power. 34. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. The game targets Western audiences with its cultural themes. B. The game's success is a way to boost China's economic growth. C. The game is a big step in showing Chinese culture worldwide. D. The game strengthens national pride by highlighting Chinese culture. 35. What can be the best title of the text? A. Black Myth: Wukong's Influence on Game Mechanics B. The Impact of Gaming Industry on China's Youth C. The Impact of Gaming Industry on Chinese Culture D. Black Myth: Wukong as a Cultural Ambassador 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How is eating in space different from eating on Earth？ If you send astronauts into space,you have to send along food as well.But what do astronauts eat,and how do they eat it？Scientists take several factors into consideration as they plan meals for space.

When my mom was busy in the kitchen, she let me stay on the balcony and watch the kids play in the street. On that balcony I sometimes played with my elder sister, Maria. She was seven years old and when my mom was absent she was like a mother to me. The balcony was a great hobby place for my father. After his work, he used to grow carnations (康乃馨)in flower boxes. His carnations were red, pink and white, and everyone appreciated them for their beauty. He took care of them with so much love and devotion. He dealt carefully with his flowers like a mother taking care of her baby. Many times I sat on the floor of the balcony for hours observing him and his lovely flowers with patience. He was always doing something on that balcony. He was watering them every day, cleaning the balcony floor, changing the potting soil and when the stems(茎) were thick, strong and high enough, he started his improvement operation like a doctor. My dad took a tiny knife and with his left hand he held the stem of the carnation and measured the height. Then he made a small mark on the stem with his finger. Afterwards he made a sharp cut with the knife, just enough to fit in a grain of barley (插穗的芽).Then he bandaged the stem with a small bandage. His job was then to water the plants and to take care of them. "No one should touch them", he said to mom. Every day,when he came home from work he went straight to the balcony. Mom used to tell us,"Do not touch daddy's flowers." For us it was a fascinating experience to watch how the small stems were growing and making flowers. When the carnations had grown big enough, my dad enjoyed watching them every day. We the kids did too. 续写要求： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1：One day, my elder sister, who loved dad very much, had a great idea._______________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2：When my dad arrived, he went as usual, straight to the balcony and saw his flowers lying on the floor like dead animals.__________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
