Papa, as a son of a dirt-poor farmer, left school early and went to work in a factory,for education was for the rich then.So, the world became his school.With great interest, he read everything he could lay his hands on, listened to the town elders and learned about the world beyond his tiny hometown."There's so much to learn," he'd say.“Though we're born stupid, only the stupid remain that way.”He was determined that none of his children would be denied(拒绝)an education.
Thus, Papa insisted that we learn at least one new thing each day.And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we had learned.We would talk about the news of the day;no matter how insignificant, it was never taken lightly.Papa would listen carefully and was ready with some comment,always to the point.
Then came the moment-the time to share the day's new learning.
Papa, at the head of the table, would push back his chair and pour a glass of red wine,ready to listen.
Felice, “he'd say,”tell me what you learned today.“learned that the population of Nepal is...”
Silence.
Papa was thinking about what was said, as if the salvation(拯救)of the world would depend upon it.“The population of Nepal.Hmm.Well...”he'd say.“Get the map; let's see where Nepal is.” And the whole family went on a search for Nepal.
This same experience was repeated until each family member had a turn.Dinner ended only after we had a clear understanding of at least half a dozen such facts.
As children, we thought very.little about these educational wonders.Our family,however,was growing together,sharing experiences and participating in one another’s education And by looking at us,listening to us, respecting our input, affirming(肯定)our value; giving us a sense of dignity, Papa -was unquestionably our most influential teacher.
Later during my training as a future teacher studied with some of the most famous educators.They were imparting(传授)what Papa had known all along-the value of continual learning.His technique has served me well all my life.Not a single day has been wasted, though I can never tell when knowing the population,of Nepal might prove useful.

For decades, social scientists have debated the link between income and happiness. A 2025 cross-country study published in the Journal of Positive Psychology — involving 120,000 participants from 45 countries across North America, Europe, and Asia — offers new insights into this complex relationship, challenging some long-held assumptions.
The research team, led by Dr. Elena Marquez from the University of Zurich, first analyzed the connection between “absolute income” (total annual earnings) and self-reported happiness scores (measured on a 10-point scale). They found that for individuals with annual incomes below 75,000, there was a strong positive correlation: each 10,000 increase in income was associated with a 0.8-point rise in happiness. However, above 75,000, the correlation weakened dramatically — an additional 10,000 only led to a 0.1-point increase. Dr. Marquez labeled this $75,000 figure the “happiness threshold” (幸福阈值): beyond this point, more money did not significantly boost happiness.
What surprised researchers even more was the impact of “relative income” (income compared to peers in the same social group, such as colleagues or neighbors). For participants earning above the 75,000 threshold, relative income became a key factor. Those who earned 20% more than their peers reported happiness scores 1.2 points higher than those who earned 20% less — even if both groups had annual incomes above 100,000. “It’s not just how much you have,” Dr. Marquez explained, “but how much you have compared to people around you. This ‘social comparison effect’ often overrides the influence of absolute income once basic needs are met.”
The study also highlighted regional differences. In high-cost-of-living regions like New York or Tokyo, the happiness threshold was slightly higher — around 95,000 — due to increased expenses for housing and daily necessities. In contrast, in areas with lower living costs, such as parts of rural India or Vietnam, the threshold dropped to 50,000. Notably, the social comparison effect was more pronounced in individualistic cultures (e.g., the U.S., Germany) than in collectivist cultures (e.g., Japan, Thailand), where community well-being is often prioritized over personal income status.
Critics of the study point out its limitations: it relied on self-reported happiness scores, which may be influenced by temporary mood swings, and it did not account for non-financial factors like health, family relationships, or work-life balance — all of which affect happiness. Dr. Marquez acknowledged these gaps but emphasized the study’s value: “Our findings help clarify when money matters for happiness and when it doesn’t. For policymakers, this means focusing on reducing poverty (to lift people above the threshold) rather than just boosting overall economic growth. For individuals, it’s a reminder that chasing more money beyond a certain point may not lead to greater fulfillment.”
46. What can we learn about the “happiness threshold” from the study?
A. It is a fixed figure of $75,000 applicable to all regions.
B. Below this threshold, more money has little impact on happiness.
C. Above it, more income doesn’t lead to much greater happiness.
D. It is determined solely by an individual’s annual absolute income.
47. What does the underlined word “overrides” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Weakens the impact of B. Becomes more important than C. Balances the effect of D. Depends entirely on
48. Which of the following is a limitation of the 2025 study?
A. It ignored the influence of relative income on happiness.
B. It only included participants from individualistic cultures.
C. It failed to consider non-financial factors affecting happiness.
D. It used an inaccurate 10-point scale to measure happiness.
49. According to the study’s findings on regional and cultural differences, which of the following statements is true?
A. The happiness threshold remains consistent worldwide.
B. Collectivist cultures show a stronger social comparison effect than individualistic cultures.
C. The happiness threshold is higher in high-cost-of-living areas.
D. Community well-being in individualistic cultures reduces the impact of relative income on happiness.
50. What does Dr. Marquez suggest policymakers do based on the study’s findings?
A. Focus on increasing the overall economic growth rate.
B. Set a unified happiness threshold for all regions.
C. Prioritize reducing poverty to help people exceed the threshold.
D. Encourage people to compare their income with peers less frequently.
D
Art is everywhere. Any public space has been carefully designed by an artistic mind to be both functional and beautiful. Why, then, is art still so widely considered to be "the easy subject" at school, insignificant to wider society, a waste of time and effort?
Art can connect culture with commercial products in a way that not many other things can; art generates money and holds significant emotional and cultural value within communities. When people attend a concert, they are paying for music, sure, maybe even hotel rooms, meals, and transport, but they also gain an incredible experience, a unique atmosphere and a memory that will go through the rest of their lives. People don't just want material things anymore, they want to experience life一the arts are a perfect crossover(交迭)between culture and commerce.
Furthermore, the arts can bring communities together, reducing loneliness and making people feel safer. Social bonds are created among individuals when they share their arts experiences through reflection and discussion, and their expression of common values through artworks in honour of events significant to a nation's experience.
The arts clearly have a pretty positive impact on physical and psychological health. It is found that people who frequent cultural places or participate in artistic events are more likely to gain good health compared to those who do not; more engagement with the arts is linked to a higher level of people's wellbeing. The Royal Society of Public Health discovered that music and art, when used in hospitals, help to improve the conditions of patients by reducing stress, anxiety and blood pressure.
Children who are involved with the arts make greater achievements in their education: those engaged with drama have greater literary ability while others taking part in musical practice exhibit greater skills in math and languages. Kids with preference for the arts have a greater chance of finding employment in the future. Participating in the arts is essential for child development; encouraging children to express themselves in constructive ways could help to form healthy emotional responses in later life.
Vital to human life, art is celebrated and used by nations across the world for various purposes. Life without art would be boring and dead still, for art is a part of what makes us human.
51. Art products differ from most other commercial products because .
A. most people purchase them for collection
B. they are more expensive and less accessible
C. they have both commercial and cultural values
D. their prices may climb up as time passes
52. By sharing their arts experiences, community members can .
A. keep the community safe from illnesses
B. develop a stronger tie between them
C. learn to appreciate their own works of art
D. offer honourable solutions to their problems
53. What can we learn about people who are involved in artistic activities?
A. They enjoy better living conditions.
B. They like to compare themselves with others.
C. They are particularly good at both music and art.
D. They tend to be healthier physically and mentally.
54. How does kids' engagement with the arts benefit them?
A. It promotes their academic performance and emotional growth.
B. It gives them more confidence in exhibiting their learning skills.
C. It inspires their creativity in designing their future career.
D. It helps to make responsible people out of them.
55. What is the best title for this passage?
A. How Art Cures Our Hearts
B. Art: A Blessing to Humankind
C. How Art Benefits Communities
D. Art: A Bridge Between Cultures

阅读下列短文并回答问题。
Sophia had always been the best art student in her class. Her paintings were colorful and full of energy, and her teacher often praised her skill. So when the school announced an art competition with the theme “Connection,” everyone expected Sophia to win. However, for the first time, Sophia found herself staring at a blank sheet of paper, unsure of where to start.
Sophia found the word “connection” vague and difficult to explain. She tried drawing different ideas — a family holding hands, a busy marketplace — but none of them seemed to capture the deeper meaning she felt the theme required. “Is it just about people being together?” she wondered. “Or something more invisible, like feelings or memories?” Her classmates eagerly talked about their ideas, showing their early drawings and laughing as they worked. Sophia, however, felt stuck, and the pressure to meet everyone’s expectations only made things worse.
One afternoon, Sophia decided to take a walk in the park to relax. As she wandered, she noticed a young boy trying to fly a kite. The kite shook in the air before falling to the ground. The boy sighed but didn’t give up. He carefully adjusted the string, ran faster, and tried again. His face showed how determined he was as he focused on the kite. Finally, the kite rose high into the sky, and the boy’s face lit up with happiness. Watching him, Sophia stopped in her tracks. She suddenly felt inspired, as if the boy’s patience and determination had unlocked her own creativity.
She rushed home and began painting, showing the boy’s hard work, the kite’s bright colors, and the invisible connection between them. Her brush moved quickly, and her style was simple and direct, unlike her usual detailed work.
On the day of the competition, Sophia showed her painting. Some classmates whispered that it wasn’t her best work. Sophia felt unsure but stood by her piece. Though she didn’t win first place, she received a special award for “Most Creative Artwork.” As Sophia packed up her painting, she realized art wasn’t about being perfect — it was about showing what truly mattered.
56. What made Sophia stand out as an art student? (no more than 10 words)
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
57. What does the underlined word “vague” mean in Paragraph 2? (no more than 3 words)
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
58. What did Sophia see in the park that helped her with her painting? (no more than 15 words)

59. What did Sophia learn about art at the end? (no more than 10 words)

60. Do you think Sophia’s painting deserved the special award? Why or why not? (no more than 20 words)

Papa, as a son of a dirt-poor farmer, left school early and went to work in a factory,for education was for the rich then.So, the world became his school.With great interest, he read everything he could lay his hands on, listened to the town elders and learned about the world beyond his tiny hometown."There's so much to learn," he'd say.“Though we're born stupid, only the stupid remain that way.”He was determined that none of his children would be denied(拒绝)an education.
Thus, Papa insisted that we learn at least one new thing each day.And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we had learned.We would talk about the news of the day;no matter how insignificant, it was never taken lightly.Papa would listen carefully and was ready with some comment,always to the point.
Then came the moment-the time to share the day's new learning.
Papa, at the head of the table, would push back his chair and pour a glass of red wine,ready to listen.
Felice, “he'd say,”tell me what you learned today.“learned that the population of Nepal is...”
Silence.
Papa was thinking about what was said, as if the salvation(拯救)of the world would depend upon it.“The population of Nepal.Hmm.Well...”he'd say.“Get the map; let's see where Nepal is.” And the whole family went on a search for Nepal.
This same experience was repeated until each family member had a turn.Dinner ended only after we had a clear understanding of at least half a dozen such facts.
As children, we thought very.little about these educational wonders.Our family,however,was growing together,sharing experiences and participating in one another’s education And by looking at us,listening to us, respecting our input, affirming(肯定)our value; giving us a sense of dignity, Papa -was unquestionably our most influential teacher.
Later during my training as a future teacher studied with some of the most famous educators.They were imparting(传授)what Papa had known all along-the value of continual learning.His technique has served me well all my life.Not a single day has been wasted, though I can never tell when knowing the population,of Nepal might prove useful.
41. What do we know from the first paragraph?
A. Those born stupid could not change their life.
B. The poor could hardly afford school education.

For decades, social scientists have debated the link between income and happiness. A 2025 cross-country study published in the Journal of Positive Psychology — involving 120,000 participants from 45 countries across North America, Europe, and Asia — offers new insights into this complex relationship, challenging some long-held assumptions.
The research team, led by Dr. Elena Marquez from the University of Zurich, first analyzed the connection between “absolute income” (total annual earnings) and self-reported happiness scores (measured on a 10-point scale). They found that for individuals with annual incomes below 75,000, there was a strong positive correlation: each 10,000 increase in income was associated with a 0.8-point rise in happiness. However, above 75,000, the correlation weakened dramatically — an additional 10,000 only led to a 0.1-point increase. Dr. Marquez labeled this $75,000 figure the “happiness threshold” (幸福阈值): beyond this point, more money did not significantly boost happiness.
What surprised researchers even more was the impact of “relative income” (income compared to peers in the same social group, such as colleagues or neighbors). For participants earning above the 75,000 threshold, relative income became a key factor. Those who earned 20% more than their peers reported happiness scores 1.2 points higher than those who earned 20% less — even if both groups had annual incomes above 100,000. “It’s not just how much you have,” Dr. Marquez explained, “but how much you have compared to people around you. This ‘social comparison effect’ often overrides the influence of absolute income once basic needs are met.”
The study also highlighted regional differences. In high-cost-of-living regions like New York or Tokyo, the happiness threshold was slightly higher — around 95,000 — due to increased expenses for housing and daily necessities. In contrast, in areas with lower living costs, such as parts of rural India or Vietnam, the threshold dropped to 50,000. Notably, the social comparison effect was more pronounced in individualistic cultures (e.g., the U.S., Germany) than in collectivist cultures (e.g., Japan, Thailand), where community well-being is often prioritized over personal income status.
Critics of the study point out its limitations: it relied on self-reported happiness scores, which may be influenced by temporary mood swings, and it did not account for non-financial factors like health, family relationships, or work-life balance — all of which affect happiness. Dr. Marquez acknowledged these gaps but emphasized the study’s value: “Our findings help clarify when money matters for happiness and when it doesn’t. For policymakers, this means focusing on reducing poverty (to lift people above the threshold) rather than just boosting overall economic growth. For individuals, it’s a reminder that chasing more money beyond a certain point may not lead to greater fulfillment.”
46. What can we learn about the “happiness threshold” from the study?
A. It is a fixed figure of $75,000 applicable to all regions.
B. Below this threshold, more money has little impact on happiness.
C. Above it, more income doesn’t lead to much greater happiness.
D. It is determined solely by an individual’s annual absolute income.
47. What does the underlined word “overrides” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Weakens the impact of B. Becomes more important than C. Balances the effect of D. Depends entirely on
48. Which of the following is a limitation of the 2025 study?
A. It ignored the influence of relative income on happiness.
B. It only included participants from individualistic cultures.
C. It failed to consider non-financial factors affecting happiness.
D. It used an inaccurate 10-point scale to measure happiness.
49. According to the study’s findings on regional and cultural differences, which of the following statements is true?
A. The happiness threshold remains consistent worldwide.
B. Collectivist cultures show a stronger social comparison effect than individualistic cultures.
C. The happiness threshold is higher in high-cost-of-living areas.
D. Community well-being in individualistic cultures reduces the impact of relative income on happiness.
50. What does Dr. Marquez suggest policymakers do based on the study’s findings?
A. Focus on increasing the overall economic growth rate.
B. Set a unified happiness threshold for all regions.
C. Prioritize reducing poverty to help people exceed the threshold.
D. Encourage people to compare their income with peers less frequently.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项2025年发表的研究,探讨了收入与幸福感的复杂关系,提出了“幸福阈值”的概念,分析了绝对收入、相对收入以及地域文化差异对幸福感的影响,并指出了研究的局限性和政策启示。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Dr. Marquez labeled this $75,000 figure the “happiness threshold” (幸福阈值): beyond this point, more money did not significantly boost happiness.(Marquez博士将75,000美元这个数字称为“幸福阈值”:超过这个点,更多的钱并不能显著提升幸福感)”可知,研究中的“幸福阈值”是指一旦收入超过某个数值(研究中为7.5万美元),收入的继续增加并不会带来幸福感的显著提升。故选C项。
【47题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中““It’s not just how much you have,” Dr. Marquez explained, “but how much you have compared to people around you. This ‘social comparison effect’ often overrides the influence of absolute income once basic needs are met.”(“这不仅仅是你拥有多少,”Marquez博士解释说,“而是与你周围的人相比你拥有多少。一旦基本需求得到满足,这种‘社会比较效应’常常会超越绝对收入的影响。”)” 可知,对于收入超过阈值的人群,相对收入成为关键因素;划线词“overrides”所在的句子在解释这种“社会比较效应”与“绝对收入影响”的关系。根据上下文逻辑,一旦基本需求满足,社会比较变得比绝对收入更重要,因此“overrides”意为“变得比……更重要”或“超越”。故选B项。
【48题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“Critics of the study point out its limitations: it relied on self-reported happiness scores, which may be influenced by temporary mood swings, and it did not account for non-financial factors like health, family relationships, or work-life balance — all of which affect happiness.(该研究的批评者指出了其局限性:它依赖于自我报告的幸福感分数(这可能受暂时情绪波动的影响),并且没有考虑健康、家庭关系或工作与生活平衡等非财务因素——所有这些都会影响幸福感)”可知,该研究的局限性之一是未能考虑影响幸福感的非财务因素。故选C项。
【49题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“In high-cost-of-living regions like New York or Tokyo, the happiness threshold was slightly higher — around 95,000 — due to increased expenses for housing and daily necessities.(在纽约或东京等高生活成本地区,幸福阈值略高——约为95,000美元——这是由于住房和日常必需品支出的增加)”可知,在高生活成本地区,幸福阈值更高。故选C项。
【50题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段Dr. Marquez的话“Our findings help clarify when money matters for happiness and when it doesn’t. For policymakers, this means focusing on reducing poverty (to lift people above the threshold) rather than just boosting overall economic growth.(我们的研究结果有助于澄清金钱何时对幸福感重要,何时不重要。对于政策制定者来说,这意味着应专注于减少贫困(以帮助人们超过阈值),而不是仅仅促进整体经济增长)”可知,Marquez博士建议政策制定者基于研究发现,应优先考虑减少贫困,帮助人们达到或超过幸福阈值。故选C项。

Art is everywhere. Any public space has been carefully designed by an artistic mind to be both functional and beautiful. Why, then, is art still so widely considered to be "the easy subject" at school, insignificant to wider society, a waste of time and effort?
Art can connect culture with commercial products in a way that not many other things can; art generates money and holds significant emotional and cultural value within communities. When people attend a concert, they are paying for music, sure, maybe even hotel rooms, meals, and transport, but they also gain an incredible experience, a unique atmosphere and a memory that will go through the rest of their lives. People don't just want material things anymore, they want to experience life一the arts are a perfect crossover(交迭)between culture and commerce.
Furthermore, the arts can bring communities together, reducing loneliness and making people feel safer. Social bonds are created among individuals when they share their arts experiences through reflection and discussion, and their expression of common values through artworks in honour of events significant to a nation's experience.
The arts clearly have a pretty positive impact on physical and psychological health. It is found that people who frequent cultural places or participate in artistic events are more likely to gain good health compared to those who do not; more engagement with the arts is linked to a higher level of people's wellbeing. The Royal Society of Public Health discovered that music and art, when used in hospitals, help to improve the conditions of patients by reducing stress, anxiety and blood pressure.
Children who are involved with the arts make greater achievements in their education: those engaged with drama have greater literary ability while others taking part in musical practice exhibit greater skills in math and languages. Kids with preference for the arts have a greater chance of finding employment in the future. Participating in the arts is essential for child development; encouraging children to express themselves in constructive ways could help to form healthy emotional responses in later life.
Vital to human life, art is celebrated and used by nations across the world for various purposes. Life without art would be boring and dead still, for art is a part of what makes us human.

【54题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Children who are involved with the arts make greater achievements in their education”(参与艺术的孩子在他们的教育中取得更大的成就)以及“encouraging children to express themselves in constructive ways could help to form healthy emotional responses in later life.”(有助于在以后的生活中形成健康的情感反应。)可见艺术活动促进了孩子们的学业表现和情感成长。故选择A。
【55题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Vital to human life, art is celebrated and used by nations across the world for various purposes. Life without art would be boring and dead still, for art is a part of what makes us human.”(艺术对人类的生命至关重要,世界各国为各种目的庆祝和使用艺术。没有艺术的生活将是无聊和死气沉沉的,因为艺术是我们人类的一部分。)可见艺术是人类重要的部分,文章中也详细描述了艺术对不同人群的好处。所以短文的最佳标题为“艺术:人类的福祉”。故选择B。

阅读下列短文并回答问题。
Sophia had always been the best art student in her class. Her paintings were colorful and full of energy, and her teacher often praised her skill. So when the school announced an art competition with the theme “Connection,” everyone expected Sophia to win. However, for the first time, Sophia found herself staring at a blank sheet of paper, unsure of where to start.
Sophia found the word “connection” vague and difficult to explain. She tried drawing different ideas — a family holding hands, a busy marketplace — but none of them seemed to capture the deeper meaning she felt the theme required. “Is it just about people being together?” she wondered. “Or something more invisible, like feelings or memories?” Her classmates eagerly talked about their ideas, showing their early drawings and laughing as they worked. Sophia, however, felt stuck, and the pressure to meet everyone’s expectations only made things worse.
One afternoon, Sophia decided to take a walk in the park to relax. As she wandered, she noticed a young boy trying to fly a kite. The kite shook in the air before falling to the ground. The boy sighed but didn’t give up. He carefully adjusted the string, ran faster, and tried again. His face showed how determined he was as he focused on the kite. Finally, the kite rose high into the sky, and the boy’s face lit up with happiness. Watching him, Sophia stopped in her tracks. She suddenly felt inspired, as if the boy’s patience and determination had unlocked her own creativity.
She rushed home and began painting, showing the boy’s hard work, the kite’s bright colors, and the invisible connection between them. Her brush moved quickly, and her style was simple and direct, unlike her usual detailed work.
On the day of the competition, Sophia showed her painting. Some classmates whispered that it wasn’t her best work. Sophia felt unsure but stood by her piece. Though she didn’t win first place, she received a special award for “Most Creative Artwork.” As Sophia packed up her painting, she realized art wasn’t about being perfect — it was about showing what truly mattered.
