The typical American household has an average of $8,863 in an account at a bank or credit union, according to a recent report from Bankrate that analyzed inflation-adjusted data from the Federal Reserve. That’s purely in liquid savings, so it doesn’t include retirement funds or other investments. However, that amount varies greatly by age and household type. For many families, this amount of savings falls short, and some experts warn. “The ultimate destination should be enough to cover six months’ expenses, perhaps 9 to 12 months for families with the only breadwinner or self-employed individuals,” Greg McBride, a chief financial analyst, says in the report. “Here’s the thing with emergency money: More is always better,” best-selling author and co-founder of AE Wealth Management David Bach says. “You hear all the time that experts say you should have three months of expenses set aside. But it depends. In the recession, when people lost their jobs, three months of expenses set aside wasn’t enough.” Meanwhile, other research has found that 60 percent of the youth don’t have enough money to cover a $1,000 emergency. In addition to building your emergency fund, you should aim to put around 15 percent of your income towards retirement savings, according to the financial services company Fidelity. If you want to put more away each month, start by cutting back on Americans’ three biggest expenses: housing, transportation and food. You can also research ways to reduce your budget and look into strategies for boosting your income. 1. For those between 35 and 44, who have the most savings? A. Singles with children. B. Singles without children. C. Couples with children. D. Couples without children. 2. How much does McBride think a family with one wage earner should save at least? A. 3 months’ expenses. B. 5 months’ expenses. C. 9 months’ expenses. D. 11 months’ expenses. 3. Which column of a newspaper is the text most probably from? A. Business and trade. B. Saving and investing. C. Health and wellness. D. Employment and retirement. B Susan Tsang’s journey to becoming a field biologist is as unconventional as it is inspiring. Growing up in New York City, Susan spent four hours daily travelling to school, leaving little time for outdoor exploration. It made her an unlikely candidate for a career in field biology. Susan’s enthusiasm for the natural world was fueled during a visit to the American Museum of Natural History. The dinosaur fossils awakened her desire to explore nature, which eventually led her to pursue a PhD program focused on bat biology. Susan’s first field exploration was to Indonesia, with the task of catching wild bats. With her advisor unable to help, Susan teamed up with Sigit, an experienced local researcher. They excitedly set up nets for trapping bats near a waterfall. While preparing their equipment, they discovered a bamboo structure leaking fresh water. Thinking it might be useful for their base camp, they tried to fix it, only to have water erupt everywhere, soaking (使湿透) them completely. Unfortunately, a storm was approaching. Realizing their day was lost, they walked back to the base camp. They talked and laughed, forming a deep bond. This adventure provided Susan with not only practical skills but also an invaluable lesson about adaptability and teamwork. It enhanced the significance of practical experience. She recognized that true understanding, which cannot be gained only from textbooks, comes from directly observing the subjects of study. Over the years, whenever faced with doubts regarding her capability, she remembers what her advisor told her about the experience, “The first day you came back, completely wet, yet genuinely happy. The next day you went right back out. That’s when I knew this is where you truly belong.” Susan Tsang’s journey illustrates the transformative power of experience and perseverance. From a city girl to a committed field biologist, Susan’s success highlights the importance of pursuing one’s enthusiasm, no matter what the difficulty. 4. What stimulated Susan’s passion for field biology? A. Her first field trip. B. Her daily schooling. C. Her visit to a museum. D. Her childhood education. 5. What does paragraph 3 mainly discuss about Susan’s first field exploration? A. Its approach. B. Its result. C. Its impact. D. Its challenge. 6. How did the trip to Indonesia influence Susan according to her advisor? A. She changed her understanding of nature. B. It brought doubts about her capability. C. She developed a sense of career belonging. D. It deepened her knowledge gained in the book. 7. What does Susan’s story indicate? A. Passion is powerful. B. Return to nature is vital. C. Difficulties can be overcome. D. A growth environment deserves attention. C Our ancestors may have kept foxes as pets long before domestic dogs came on the scene. Archaeological evidence suggests ancient human societies in South America honored foxes to such an extent that they were buried next to them. Scientists were surprised to find a fox buried in a human grave (坟墓) dating back 1,500 years in Patagonia, Argentina. They think the most likely explanation is that the fox was a highly valued companion or pet. DNA analysis shows the animal dined with the prehistoric hunter-gatherers and was part of the inner circle of the camp. A fox of the same species was found in a much older grave in another part of Argentina nearly a decade ago. It may also have been a pet but its diet was not analyzed. “This is a very rare find that this fox appears to have had such a close bond with individuals from the hunter-gatherer society,” said Dr Ophélie Lebrasseur of the University of Oxford. “I think it was more than just symbolic; I really do think it was companionship.” The fox was found at the burial site of Cañada Seca in Argentina, which was once inhabited by groups of hunter-gatherers. Teeth of wild foxes have been found in ancient human burial sites across Argentina and Peru, suggesting the animal had symbolic significance. But the discovery of a near-complete skeleton (骨骼) of a fox in a human grave is extremely rare in the worldwide archaeological record. The fox, which goes by the scientific name, Dusicyon avus, was of a medium size weighing 10-15 kg. It went extinct around 500 years ago, a few hundred years after domestic dogs arrived in Patagonia. The research was carried out in collaboration with Dr Cinthia Abbona of the Institute of Evolution in Mendoza, Argentina, and published in the journal, Royal Society Open Science. 8. What did the DNA analysis of the fox found in Patagonia reveal? A. The fox was a wild animal hunted for food. B. The fox was buried with ancient artifacts. C. The fox had meals with hunter-gatherers. D. The fox was a symbol in remaining ceremonies. 9. What does Dr Ophélie Lebrasseur indicate about the buried fox? A. It was a sign of power. B. It had a companionship role. C. It was used for hunting. D. It had a close bond with dogs. 10. What can be known about the fox species Dusicyon avus? A. It was larger than domestic dogs. B. It can still be found in South America. C. It was hardly valued by ancient societies. D. It became extinct about 500 years ago. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. The extinction of foxes in South America. B. The symbolic role of foxes in modern culture. C. Ancient humans keeping foxes as pets before dogs. D. DNA analysis helping study ancient animals. D Kindergarten-age kids excel at lots of things, but focusing efficiently on a task is not their strength. According to a new study of 4-, 5-, and 6-year-olds, it is not because kids generally can’t understand the task. Their brains are mature enough. “Children can’t seem to stop themselves from gathering more information than they need to complete a task, even when they know exactly what they need,” says Vladimir Sloutsky, co-author of the study and professor of psychology at Ohio State University. In previous research, Sloutsky and his colleagues demonstrated this broad distribution of attention, finding children seem incapable of ignoring irrelevant information to help them complete tasks more efficiently. Even when kids do successfully focus on a task, they still over-explore, consuming information that won’t help them achieve their goals. The researchers designed an on-screen experiment. Children and adults were instructed to identify two types of fictional, bird-like creatures on a computer, called a Hibi and a Gora. Each creature had a unique combination of colors and shapes for various body parts. For six body parts, the combo predicted a creature’s identity with 67 percent accuracy. One body part, however, was always a 100 percent match to only one creature type, something both kids and adults learned quickly. Study participants received higher scores for identifying the creature quickly, revealing as few body parts as possible. Once adults knew which body part would always reveal the creature’s identity, they always uncovered that body part first. Like adults, kids would also start by uncovering the body part that always predicted a creature’s identity, demonstrating they too had learned that association and understood its strategic value. But the kids would continue uncovering more body parts before identifying the creature. “There was nothing to distract the children. They could do like the adults and only click on the body part that identified the creature, but they did not,” Sloutsky says. It’s possible that the kids just enjoyed the individual revelation of each body part more than they cared about their success in efficiently identifying the creature. More research will be needed to explain the difference. While it may be driven by curiosity, Sloutsky suspects it’s because children do not have a fully developed working memory. “The children learn one body part will tell them what the creature is, but they may be concerned that they don’t remember correctly,” Sloutsky says. 12. What do researchers discover about children’s information-seeking? A. They finish the process quickly. B. They ignore key instructions. C. They collect more than needed. D. They plan carefully before acting. 13. What does “combo” underlined in paragraph 3 mean? A. Selection. B. Analysis. C. Component. D. Combination. 14. What behavior distinguished children from adults in the experiment? A. Children prioritized the identifying part. B. Children explored irrelevant information. C. Children completed tasks without guidance. D. Children ignored the correct instructions. 15. What is a possible reason that children revealed more body parts than necessary? A. They lack efficient processing ability. B. They need additional information support. C. They aim to match adults’ performance. D. They care less about the process than the result. 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。 Rock music consists of many different styles.

The thought of standing in front of a crowd made my hands shake and my voice tremble. I avoided any situation that involved giving a speech or even speaking up in class. My teachers noticed but didn’t push me too hard, except for Mrs Johnson, my English teacher. One day, she announced that we would have to give a presentation about our favorite book. I panicked, thinking about how I could avoid this, but there was no way out. After class, Mrs Johnson called me aside. “I know public speaking scares you,” she said softly, “but I believe you have something important to say.” Her words were unexpected. She didn’t just want me to speak; she wanted me to believe in myself. She offered to help me prepare. For the next week, I stayed after school to practice with Mrs Johnson. She guided me through the speech, helping me feel more comfortable with my words. At first, it felt impossible. My voice was shaky, and I forgot my lines. But Mrs Johnson was patient and encouraging. “You don’t have to be perfect,” she reminded me. “You just need to be yourself.” Slowly, I started to relax and speak more confidently. Day by day, my fear became a little less intense, and I began to believe I could actually do it. The day of the presentation arrived, and I was still nervous. My hands trembled as I stood in front of the class. But as I started speaking, something changed. The more I talked, the more I realized that I wasn’t just speaking to an audience — I was sharing a part of myself. 注意: (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 A few minutes into my presentation, I found myself doing something I never thought possible: I was enjoying it. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the presentation, Mrs Johnson smiled and said, “See?

(首席金融分析师Greg McBride在报告中表示：“最终目标储备金应当足够覆盖六个月的开支；对于只有单一收入来源的家庭或是自由职业者，储备金或许需要能够支撑九到十二个月。”)”可知，Greg McBride认为单收入家庭至少要储备9个月的开支。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章围绕家庭应急储蓄、退休储蓄目标、存钱方法展开，全部和储蓄理财相关，由此判断本文最可能出自报纸的储蓄与投资栏目。 B Susan Tsang’s journey to becoming a field biologist is as unconventional as it is inspiring.

Thinking it might be useful for their base camp, they tried to fix it, only to have water erupt everywhere, soaking (使湿透) them completely. Unfortunately, a storm was approaching. Realizing their day was lost, they walked back to the base camp. (准备他们的设备时，他们发现一处竹制设施正在渗漏淡水。考虑到它可能对他们的大本营有用，他们试着修理它，结果水四处喷涌，把他们全身都浇透了。不幸的是，一场暴风雨即将来临。意识到这一天的工作已经落空，他们走回了大本营)”可知，本段主要描述这次野外经历遇到的困难，即挑战。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The first day you came back, completely wet, yet genuinely happy.

Archaeological evidence suggests ancient human societies in South America honored foxes to such an extent that they were buried next to them. Scientists were surprised to find a fox buried in a human grave (坟墓) dating back 1,500 years in Patagonia, Argentina. They think the most likely explanation is that the fox was a highly valued companion or pet. DNA analysis shows the animal dined with the prehistoric hunter-gatherers and was part of the inner circle of the camp. A fox of the same species was found in a much older grave in another part of Argentina nearly a decade ago. It may also have been a pet but its diet was not analyzed. “This is a very rare find that this fox appears to have had such a close bond with individuals from the hunter-gatherer society,” said Dr Ophélie Lebrasseur of the University of Oxford. “I think it was more than just symbolic; I really do think it was companionship.” The fox was found at the burial site of Cañada Seca in Argentina, which was once inhabited by groups of hunter-gatherers. Teeth of wild foxes have been found in ancient human burial sites across Argentina and Peru, suggesting the animal had symbolic significance. But the discovery of a near-complete skeleton (骨骼) of a fox in a human grave is extremely rare in the worldwide archaeological record. The fox, which goes by the scientific name, Dusicyon avus, was of a medium size weighing 10-15 kg. It went extinct around 500 years ago, a few hundred years after domestic dogs arrived in Patagonia. The research was carried out in collaboration with Dr Cinthia Abbona of the Institute of Evolution in Mendoza, Argentina, and published in the journal, Royal Society Open Science. 8. What did the DNA analysis of the fox found in Patagonia reveal? A. The fox was a wild animal hunted for food. B. The fox was buried with ancient artifacts. C. The fox had meals with hunter-gatherers. D. The fox was a symbol in remaining ceremonies. 9. What does Dr Ophélie Lebrasseur indicate about the buried fox? A. It was a sign of power. B. It had a companionship role. C. It was used for hunting. D. It had a close bond with dogs. 10. What can be known about the fox species Dusicyon avus? A. It was larger than domestic dogs. B. It can still be found in South America. C. It was hardly valued by ancient societies. D. It became extinct about 500 years ago. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. The extinction of foxes in South America. B. The symbolic role of foxes in modern culture. C. Ancient humans keeping foxes as pets before dogs. D. DNA analysis helping study ancient animals. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍考古发现表明，早在家犬出现之前，南美洲古人类可能就已经把狐狸当作宠物饲养。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“DNA analysis shows the animal dined with the prehistoric hunter-gatherers and was part of the inner circle of the camp.(DNA分析显示，这只动物和史前狩猎采集者一同进食，并且是营地核心圈子里的一员)”可知，DNA分析揭示这只狐狸和狩猎采集者一起吃饭。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“This is a very rare find that this fox appears to have had such a close bond with individuals from the hunter-gatherer society,” said Dr Ophélie Lebrasseur of the University of Oxford. “I think it was more than just symbolic; I really do think it was companionship.”(牛津大学的奥菲莉・勒布拉瑟博士说：“这是一项十分罕见的发现，这只狐狸似乎和狩猎采集社会的人们有着如此紧密的联系。我认为它不仅仅具有象征意义；我确实认为它是作为陪伴者。”) ”可知，奥菲莉・勒布拉瑟博士表明这只狐狸承担陪伴的角色。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“The fox, which goes by the scientific name, Dusicyon avus, was of a medium size weighing 10-15 kg. It went extinct around 500 years ago, a few hundred years after domestic dogs arrived in Patagonia.(这只学名为Dusicyon avus的狐狸体型中等，重10至15千克。它大约在500年前灭绝，这个时间是家犬抵达巴塔哥尼亚的数百年之后)”可知，Dusicyon avus这个狐狸物种大约在500年前灭绝。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Our ancestors may have kept foxes as pets long before domestic dogs came on the scene.(我们的祖先可能早在家犬出现之前就饲养狐狸作为宠物)”以及后文的考古证据、DNA研究等内容可知，全文围绕古人在家犬之前饲养狐狸作为宠物展开。 D Kindergarten-age kids excel at lots of things, but focusing efficiently on a task is not their strength. According to a new study of 4-, 5-, and 6-year-olds, it is not because kids generally can’t understand the task. Their brains are mature enough. “Children can’t seem to stop themselves from gathering more information than they need to complete a task, even when they know exactly what they need,” says Vladimir Sloutsky, co-author of the study and professor of psychology at Ohio State University. In previous research, Sloutsky and his colleagues demonstrated this broad distribution of attention, finding children seem incapable of ignoring irrelevant information to help them complete tasks more efficiently. Even when kids do successfully focus on a task, they still over-explore, consuming information that won’t help them achieve their goals. The researchers designed an on-screen experiment. Children and adults were instructed to identify two types of fictional, bird-like creatures on a computer, called a Hibi and a Gora. Each creature had a unique combination of colors and shapes for various body parts. For six body parts, the combo predicted a creature’s identity with 67 percent accuracy. One body part, however, was always a 100 percent match to only one creature type, something both kids and adults learned quickly. Study participants received higher scores for identifying the creature quickly, revealing as few body parts as possible. Once adults knew which body part would always reveal the creature’s identity, they always uncovered that body part first. Like adults, kids would also start by uncovering the body part that always predicted a creature’s identity, demonstrating they too had learned that association and understood its strategic value. But the kids would continue uncovering more body parts before identifying the creature. “There was nothing to distract the children. They could do like the adults and only click on the body part that identified the creature, but they did not,” Sloutsky says. It’s possible that the kids just enjoyed the individual revelation of each body part more than they cared about their success in efficiently identifying the creature. More research will be needed to explain the difference. While it may be driven by curiosity, Sloutsky suspects it’s because children do not have a fully developed working memory. “The children learn one body part will tell them what the creature is, but they may be concerned that they don’t remember correctly,” Sloutsky says. 12. What do researchers discover about children’s information-seeking? A. They finish the process quickly. B. They ignore key instructions. C. They collect more than needed. D. They plan carefully before acting. 13. What does “combo” underlined in paragraph 3 mean? A. Selection. B. Analysis. C. Component. D. Combination. 14. What behavior distinguished children from adults in the experiment? A. Children prioritized the identifying part. B. Children explored irrelevant information. C. Children completed tasks without guidance. D. Children ignored the correct instructions. 15. What is a possible reason that children revealed more body parts than necessary? A. They lack efficient processing ability. B. They need additional information support. C. They aim to match adults’ performance. D. They care less about the process than the result. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍研究发现学龄前儿童善于收集多余信息，即便知晓关键线索，依然会继续探查更多信息，该现象或与工作记忆尚未发育完全有关。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Children can’t seem to stop themselves from gathering more information than they need to complete a task, even when they know exactly what they need.(儿童似乎无法阻止自己收集多于完成一项任务所需的信息，即便他们清楚地知道自己需要什么)”可知，研究人员发现儿童搜集的信息超出所需。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“Each creature had a unique combination of colors and shapes for various body parts.(每种生物的各个身体部位都有着独一无二的颜色和形状组合)”以及“For six body parts, the combo predicted a creature’s identity with 67 percent accuracy.(对于六个身体部位来说，这一combo识别生物种类的准确率为67%)” 可知，combo和上文combination同义，意为“组合”。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Like adults, kids would also start by uncovering the body part that always predicted a creature’s identity, demonstrating they too had learned that association and understood its strategic value. But the kids would continue uncovering more body parts before identifying the creature.(和成年人一样，儿童也会先点开能够判定生物身份的身体部位，说明他们也掌握了这一关联并且明白它的策略价值。但是儿童会在判定生物种类之前继续点开更多的身体部位)”以及第二段“Even when kids do successfully focus on a task, they still over-explore, consuming information that won’t help them achieve their goals.(即使儿童成功专注于任务，他们依旧会过度探索，获取无法帮助他们达成目标的信息)”可知，儿童和成年人的区别在于儿童会去探索无关信息。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“While it may be driven by curiosity, Sloutsky suspects it’s because children do not have a fully developed working memory. “The children learn one body part will tell them what the creature is, but they may be concerned that they don’t remember correctly,” Sloutsky says.(虽然这或许是好奇心驱使的，斯卢茨基怀疑原因是儿童的工作记忆尚未发育成熟。斯卢茨基说：“孩子们知道有一个身体部位就能判断出这是什么生物，但他们可能担心自己记不准。”)”可知，儿童点开多余身体部位的一个可能原因是他们可能需要额外的信息来帮助确认自己的记忆。 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。 Rock music consists of many different styles.

The thought of standing in front of a crowd made my hands shake and my voice tremble. I avoided any situation that involved giving a speech or even speaking up in class. My teachers noticed but didn’t push me too hard, except for Mrs Johnson, my English teacher. One day, she announced that we would have to give a presentation about our favorite book. I panicked, thinking about how I could avoid this, but there was no way out. After class, Mrs Johnson called me aside. “I know public speaking scares you,” she said softly, “but I believe you have something important to say.” Her words were unexpected. She didn’t just want me to speak; she wanted me to believe in myself. She offered to help me prepare. For the next week, I stayed after school to practice with Mrs Johnson. She guided me through the speech, helping me feel more comfortable with my words. At first, it felt impossible. My voice was shaky, and I forgot my lines. But Mrs Johnson was patient and encouraging. “You don’t have to be perfect,” she reminded me. “You just need to be yourself.” Slowly, I started to relax and speak more confidently. Day by day, my fear became a little less intense, and I began to believe I could actually do it. The day of the presentation arrived, and I was still nervous. My hands trembled as I stood in front of the class. But as I started speaking, something changed. The more I talked, the more I realized that I wasn’t just speaking to an audience — I was sharing a part of myself. 注意: (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 A few minutes into my presentation, I found myself doing something I never thought possible: I was enjoying it. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the presentation, Mrs Johnson smiled and said, “See?

The class was listening, and I could see interest in their faces. Instead of focusing on my nerves, I focused on the story I was telling, and soon my voice became steady. When I finished, the room erupted into applause. I stood there, stunned, realizing I had just done something I had once believed I could never do. That feeling of accomplishment was overwhelming, and for the first time, I felt proud of myself for facing my fear. After the presentation, Mrs Johnson smiled and said, “See? I knew you could do it.” Her confidence in me had made all the difference. I understood then that it wasn’t about delivering a perfect speech but about finding the courage to speak. From that day forward, I no longer avoided speaking in front of others. I still felt nervous sometimes, but I now knew that I could push through those fears. Public speaking became a skill I could handle, but more importantly, I learned that stepping out of my comfort zone was the first step toward growth and self-belief. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述上高中的“我”害怕公开演讲，英语老师Johnson耐心陪伴辅导“我”准备读书分享展示，“我”慢慢克服恐惧、建立信心，最终站上讲台完成展示的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ① 由第一段首句可知，接下来描写同学们认真倾听、脸上流露兴趣，我的声音慢慢平稳；演讲结束后全班鼓掌，我震惊又自豪，体会到战胜恐惧后的成就感。 ② 由第二段首句可知，接下来写老师的信任起到关键作用，我领悟演讲不在于完美而在于勇气；之后我不再回避当众发言，懂得走出舒适区是成长、建立自信的第一步。 2. 续写线索：投入分享内容、看到同学感兴趣 —— 声音变得平稳 —— 演讲结束收获掌声 —— 内心震惊，收获成就感 —— 老师给予肯定 —— 领悟演讲的真谛 —— 不再逃避当众发言 —— 明白走出舒适区带来成长与自信 3. 词类激活 行为类 ①看见：see/notice/spot ②爆发：erupt into/burst into 情绪类 ①惊讶的：stunned/astonished/shocked ②紧张的：nervous/tense 【点睛】【高分句型1】I stood there, stunned, realizing I had just done something I had once believed I could never do. (运用了形容词stunned作状语，两个省略连接词that的宾语从句，以及省略关系代词that的定语从句修饰something) 【高分句型2】Public speaking became a skill I could handle, but more importantly, I learned that stepping out of my comfort zone was the first step toward growth and self-belief.(运用了省略关系词that/which的定语从句修饰skill，以及that引导的宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
