On Jan 18, China’s first AI model made for children’s healthcare came into service in Beijing Children’s Hospital. After nearly a month of testing, it “met” its first patient on Feb 13. The patient was an 8-year-old boy. He had been experiencing muscle spasms (肌肉痉挛) for a long time. Two weeks before he came to Beijing Children’s Hospital, a mass (肿块) at the base of his head was found. His condition was very hard to deal with. Different hospitals had given different opinions. Ni Xin, the head of the hospital, discussed the boy’s case with 13 top experts from different areas. They decided more MRI exams should be done quickly to get to the bottom of it. At the same time, the AI model also got to work. Its engineers put the boy's symptoms (症状) and medical history into the model, and it gave suggestions that were similar to the advice of the experts. Since this first case, the model has been working with human doctors on tough (棘手的) cases. This could improve how difficult conditions are diagnosed (诊断) and treated. According to Ni, the model was created by tech businesses using the hospital’s medical information. Its system includes knowledge from over 300 children’s doctors and years of top-quality medical records. It is trained to think like a doctor and can help manage all kinds of childhood diseases. Wang Xiaochuan, CEO of Baichuan AI, a tech partner to the hospital, said the use of AI at Beijing Children’s Hospital is a big step forward in AI healthcare. It will make high-quality (高质量的) medical services available to everyone. Ni added that the hospital will keep improving its research and development of the AI model.

Having lost his father before he was born, he grew up with his grandmother. At 18, soon after he finished schooling, Newton would spend his time making small tools. His head teacher saw the genius in him and asked his mother to send him to the university. Newton set out for Cambridge in June, 1661. Newton was always trying to understand and explain a lot of things in nature. To test a question about colours, he would stare at the sun with one eye until all the colours changed. As a result, he had to stay in the dark for some time before his eye returned to normal. Newton was the first to show us that white light is made up of colours mixed together. He was also the first person to understand the rainbow and explain how it forms. A story goes like this: One day, an apple fell on Newton’s head, and it was then that Newton realized that the apple fell towards Earth and didn’t go anywhere else. He thought to himself, “How did this happen?” After doing some experiments, he later knew all objects always fall towards Earth’s centre because Earth attracts them. He realized that every object in the universe attracts every other object towards it. Then Newton discovered the law of universal gravitation (引力). Newton was an English physicist, mathematician and astronomer. Because of the significant work Newton has done, he is widely considered as one of the greatest scientists of all time. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．What can we learn about Newton from Paragraph 1? A．He made some small tools. B．He never studied in a university. C．He didn’t like doing farm work.

Known as the “Nobel Prize in math”, this prize is given every four years to at most four top mathematicians under 40. It is the first time Chinese people have received this great honor. Wang Hong was born in Guilin in 1991. She fell in love with math because of an interesting math problem. She liked learning new knowledge by herself. In 2007, she entered Peking University but failed to get into the math major (专业). Luckily, she changed her major to math after hard work. However, college math was really hard for her, and she once doubted herself. She kept moving forward through those difficult days. Now she is a professor at a university. Her research helps improve technologies like CT scans and radar (雷达) communication. When her research hits a dead end, she will do sports to clear her mind. She also loves drawing. She often draws simple pictures while thinking about problems, and she believes there is a hidden connection between maths and art. Deng Yu was born in 1989. He showed great math talent when he was young. He studied at Peking University, MIT and Princeton University, and now works as a professor at the University of Chicago. During his postdoctoral research, he met difficulties in publishing papers. Some companies offered him well-paid jobs, but he chose to keep doing math research because of his strong love for it. Now, his work provides mathematical support for fluid simulation (流体模拟) and helps with the design of planes and cars. He keeps hobbies like anime (动漫) to balance his work and life. Their great achievements encourage more young Chinese to explore the world of mathematics. 1．What can we know about the Fields Medal? A．Prize winners are less than 40 years old.

It is thought to be the world’s oldest temple, built around 12,000 years ago—about 6,000 years before Stonehenge. Göbekli Tepe was discovered in the 1960s. It is made up of several big round spaces built with huge T-shaped stone blocks. Many of these blocks are cut with pictures of animals such as foxes, snakes, lions, and wild pigs. Unlike Stonehenge, these stones were not moved from far away; they were shaped directly from the nearby hills. What amazes experts most is that Göbekli Tepe was built by hunter-gatherers (狩猎采集者)—people who did not yet farm or live in cities. This changes the old idea that large places to honor ancestors were only built after farming began. Göbekli Tepe makes us rethink history. Maybe building such places brought people together, which later led to farming. The purpose of Göbekli Tepe remains unknown, just like Stonehenge. Some think it was an important place, used for special events, burials, or watching the sky. Others believe it was a meeting place for different groups to trade and tell stories. Today, Göbekli Tepe is a protected World Heritage Site. It helps us rethink human history and shows that ancient people were more skilled and organized than we once believed. The site reminds us that human societies could achieve great things through cooperation long before the rise of cities or kingdoms. 1．What makes Göbekli Tepe special compared to Stonehenge? A．It is a temple from England. B．It was built 6,000 years ago. C．It is older than Stonehenge. D．It was built with huge stones. 2．What was a possible use of Göbekli Tepe according to the passage? A．A hunting ground. B．A tourist site for visitors. C．A palace for a king. D．A religious meeting place. 3．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To explain how ancient people moved and shaped huge stones. B．To argue that Göbekli Tepe is more important than Stonehenge. C．To describe a mysterious ancient site and its historical importance. D．To encourage tourists to visit Türkiye's protected World Heritage Site. 4．When was Göbekli Tepe discovered? A．Around 12,000 years ago. B．In the 1960s. C．6,000 years before Stonehenge. D．Long after farming began. 5．Which of the following is TRUE? A．Hunter-gatherers were able to work together to finish big projects. B．People have known the exact use of Göbekli Tepe for many years. C．The stone blocks of Göbekli Tepe were transported from faraway places. D．Large religious buildings could only appear after cities came into being. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．C 4．B 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了土耳其的Göbekli Tepe遗址，包括其发现时间、建筑特征、建造者身份及其对改写人类历史认知的重要意义。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“It is thought to be the world's oldest temple, built around 12,000 years ago — about 6,000 years before Stonehenge.”可知，Göbekli Tepe比Stonehenge早建造约6000年，即它比Stonehenge更古老。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Some think it was an important place, used for special events, burials, or watching the sky. Others believe it was a meeting place for different groups to trade and tell stories.”可知，它可能被用于特殊事件或作为不同群体的聚会场所，符合宗教聚会场所的描述。 3．主旨大意题。纵观全文，文章主要描述了Göbekli Tepe这一神秘遗址的基本情况及其对历史研究的重要性，旨在描述一个神秘的古代遗址及其历史重要性。 4．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Göbekli Tepe was discovered in the 1960s.”可知，该遗址是在20世纪60年代被发现的。 5．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Göbekli Tepe was built by hunter-gatherers ... Maybe building such places brought people together”及第五段中“human societies could achieve great things through cooperation”可知，狩猎采集者能够通过合作完成大型项目。 ① “Nothing in the world makes people as sad as money,” a character in Antigone said. But maybe he just didn’t know how to spend it. Research suggests that if we spend wisely, money can, in fact, buy happiness. ② According to a common rule, spending on experiences instead of things makes us happiest. When asked about something they bought, those who talked about experiences like travel were happier than those who talked about things they bought. Psychologists believe we usually go back to how happy we were. This happens faster after buying things than after having experiences. For example, a new table makes us happy for a shorter time than a trip to Chile. ③ Not all experiences are worth the same, however. According to studies, shared experiences bring more happiness than solitary ones. It’s not just doing things that makes us happy—it’s doing things with others. So people who spend on activities by themselves value them no more than things they buy. ④ ▲ . Researchers from the University of Cambridge studied spending habits, personality, and happiness. They found that the “Big Five” personality traits (特征) can influence how people spend money. For example, outgoing people spend more on restaurants and fun, while careful people spend on fitness and health care. Those whose spending fits their personality are happier. ⑤ But be careful before you spend too much. The cash in your account is more connected with life satisfaction than the money you make. Still, don’t save every penny. When people bought gifts for a sick child instead of themselves, they felt more positive. This was true in both rich and poor countries. ⑥ So, can money buy happiness? Maybe the man in Antigone was wrong. If we learn to use our money well, it really can make us happier. 1．What can we learn from Paragraph 2?

Chen Sheng was raised by his grandparents, and his dream was to take care of more elderly people. After graduating in 2017 with a degree in healthcare, Chen Sheng finished eight months of training in a local hospital and started to work in a nursing home. In his early working days, what he met was more difficult than he thought. He got up at 6 a.m. to help with morning tasks. He provided full bedside care, especially for the elderly who had to stay in bed all the time. Often, his day didn’t end until 11 p.m. He wanted to quit at first, but after a short time, the warmth and trust he received from the elderly changed his mind. Using his medical knowledge, Chen Sheng takes care of the elderly in a proper way, including physical examination, health guidance, advice on food and so on. “I arrived at the nursing home with lots of illnesses and could only lie in bed. After two months of good care by Chen Sheng, I was able to walk again by myself. Life here is very convenient, from great daily services to good medical care, just like at home, ” said Grandpa Li. Besides medical care, Chen Sheng also gives emotional (情感的) support. He always offers comfort in time when a grandpa or a grandma is upset. Grandma Sun likes to talk with Chen Sheng every day and always shares the things she considers valuable. Grandma Sun feels warm and happy because of Chen Sheng. Her family thanks him for his patience and great love. As the needs for elderly care continue to grow, more and more young people, including those born after 2000, have come to work in the nursing home.

Whether we spend, save, borrow or lend money, our culture influences our choices. People from different cultural backgrounds have their own money-related habits, and these differences are easy to understand. People in different countries have different ways of talking about money. Some people are unwilling to share their personal financial information with others. They seldom talk about how much they earn or how they spend their money. However, most Chinese people are willing to discuss earnings, house prices, savings and spending habits with close friends. By contrast, British people may talk about their daily spending, but they almost never share their earnings or savings with others. People also have different payment habits. Although cards and mobile payment apps bring us great convenience, some cultures still prefer using cash. For example, Germans pay with cash for 80 percent of their shopping. They believe touching real money can make them clearly realize how much they are spending. Saving habits also change from country to country. On average (平均), Chinese people save about 37% of their income. Spanish families only save 1.75%. Mexican families save 15%, while Russian families save nearly 8%. Besides, gift-giving and pocket money cultures show cultural differences too. Most people will remove the price tag (标签) before giving a gift. But in China, for gifts like gold jewellery (黄金珠宝), it is common to keep the price tag. What’s more, some Chinese parents give kids pocket money for doing housework. In the UK, teenagers often take part-time jobs to learn to manage their own money. It is interesting to learn about these cultural differences. No habit is right or wrong. We should respect different money cultures when we meet people from other countries. 1．What do British people hardly share with others? A．Their earnings and savings. B．Their daily shopping experiences. C．Their ideas about gift-giving. D．Their ways of making payments. 2．When do most people remove the price tag of a gift? A．While choosing the gift. B．After receiving the gift. C．Before giving the gift. D．When packing the gift. 3．Which country has the lowest average saving rate according to the passage? A．China. B．Russia. C．Mexico. D．Spain. 4．What can we infer from the passage? A．People from different cultures will never change their money habits. B．Cultural differences exist in many small aspects of people’s daily life. C．Using cash is a better way of payment than mobile payment. D．Chinese people always show the price tags on every gift they send. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．B 【导语】本文主要探讨了文化在人们金钱观念和习惯中的重要作用。文章从谈论金钱的方式、支付习惯、储蓄习惯以及送礼和零花钱文化等方面，对比了中国、英国、德国、西班牙、墨西哥和俄罗斯等不同国家的差异。作者指出，这些习惯没有对错之分，我们应该尊重不同国家的金钱文化。 1．细节理解题。第二段中提到：“By contrast, British people may talk about their daily spending, but they almost never share their earnings or savings with others.”，说明英国人几乎不与别人分享他们的收入和储蓄。 2．细节理解题。第五段开头明确指出：“Most people will remove the price tag (标签) before giving a gift.”，说明大多数人会在送礼物之前去掉价格标签。 3．细节理解题。第四段列举了各国的平均储蓄率：中国约37%，西班牙1.75%，墨西哥15%，俄罗斯近8%。比较可知，西班牙（Spain）的储蓄率最低（1.75%）。 4．推理判断题。A项“永远不会改变”过于绝对；C项“现金比移动支付好”是德国人的观点，并非文章结论，且文章强调无对错之分；D项“总是展示标签”错误，文中说的是“for gifts like gold jewellery... it is common”，即针对黄金珠宝等特定礼物常见，而非所有礼物。B项“文化差异存在于人们日常生活的许多小方面”符合全文主旨，文章通过谈钱、支付、储蓄、送礼等生活细节展示了文化差异。 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。 Usually great people encourage themselves and everyone around them toward better things.

It is a group of 1 built over more than two thousand years. The oldest parts were built in the Warring States period; the best-known parts were built in the Ming Dynasty, about six hundred years 2 . Building the wall was extremely hard. Archaeologists say that soldiers, farmers and workers did the work. They 3 stones and bricks up the mountains by hand or with simple machines. Many of them 4 went home. Today some parts of the wall are still 5 good condition, but others are falling down. Wind, rain, plants and too many 6 all damage it. Repairing the wall is not easy either. In some places, workers use old bricks taken from the 7 period so that the new part looks like the old one. In other places, they do nothing at all: sometimes the best way to protect a ruin is to leave 8 alone. “A wall that has lost its top can still tell the truth,” one expert says. “If we build a new top, we are telling a new story.” Scientists now use drones (无人机) and 3D scanning to 9 the wall. They can find small cracks (裂缝) before they become big problems. Thanks to their work, the wall may stand for many more years — 10 only if we remember that it is a place to protect, not just a place to take photos. 【答案】 1．walls 2．ago 3．carried 4．never 5．in 6．visitors 7．same 8．it 9．watch 10．but 【导语】本文主要介绍了长城的历史与保护：长城并非单一体，而是两千多年间修建的一系列城墙；修筑过程极为艰辛，如今部分城墙损毁严重，人们通过旧砖修复、遗址原貌保留以及无人机和3D扫描技术等方式保护长城。 1．句意：它是一组在两千多年间修建起来的城墙。根据上句“it is not a single wall”可知，长城不是一堵单一的墙，而是一组墙。给定词wall表示“墙”，此处指多组城墙，应用复数形式，符合语境逻辑。故填walls。 2．句意：……最著名的部分建于明朝，大约六百年前。此处缺少时间副词，结合前文“about six hundred years”可知，此处表示过去的某一时间点。给定词ago表示“以前”，常与一段时间连用，符合语境逻辑。故填ago。 3．句意：他们用手或简单的机器把石头和砖块搬上山。此处缺少谓语动词，结合后文“stones and bricks up the mountains by hand”可知，此处描述士兵、农民和工人搬运建材上山的艰辛。给定词carry表示“搬运”，描述的是过去的动作，应用一般过去时，符合语境逻辑。故填carried。 4．句意：他们中的许多人从未回家。根据上文“Building the wall was extremely hard”可知，修墙极其艰难，许多工人再也没能回家。给定词never表示“从未”，符合语境逻辑。故填never。 5．句意：今天，长城的某些部分仍然保存完好，但其他部分正在倒塌。此处缺少介词，结合后文“but others are falling down”可知，前后形成对比，前半句表示有些部分状态良好。固定搭配in good condition意为“状况良好”，符合语境逻辑。故填in。 6．句意：风、雨、植物以及过多的游客都在损坏它。此处缺少名词，与“Wind, rain, plants”并列作主语，结合语境可知，过多的游客参观也会破坏城墙。给定词visitor表示“游客”，由too many修饰，应用复数形式，符合语境逻辑。故填visitors。 7．句意：在一些地方，工人使用同一时期拆下来的旧砖，使新修的部分看起来像旧的部分。根据后文“so that the new part looks like the old one”可知，为了让新修部分与旧部分一致，应使用同一时期的旧砖。固定搭配the same period意为“同一时期”，符合语境逻辑。故填same。 8．句意：……有时保护废墟最好的办法就是放任它不管。此处缺少代词作宾语，结合前文“they do nothing at all”可知，有些地方什么都不做，让废墟保持原样。给定词it表示“它”，指代前文提到的a ruin，固定搭配leave it alone意为“别管它”，符合语境逻辑。故填it。 9．句意：科学家们现在使用无人机和3D扫描来监测长城。此处缺少动词原形，根据后文“They can find small cracks before they become big problems”可知，他们能在小裂缝变成大问题之前发现它们，说明科学家在监测长城的状况。给定词watch表示“观察，监视”，to后接动词原形，符合语境逻辑。故填watch。 10．句意：多亏了他们的工作，长城可能会再屹立许多年——但前提是我们要记住它是一个需要保护的地方，而不仅仅是一个拍照的地方。空格连接前后两个分句，前句说长城可能再屹立许多年，后句提出“只有我们记住它是需要保护的地方”这一条件，前后语义构成转折关系，方框内but表示“但是”，符合语境，故填but。 五、书面表达 1．近期，你校英语报正在开展以“寻找身边的榜样”（Searching for Role Models）为主题的征文活动。你的同学李华在零花钱管理方面做得非常出色。为了呼吁全班同学向他学习，养成良好的理财习惯，请你写一篇短文向校报投稿，推荐李华作为班级榜样。 写作内容要点： 1. 介绍推荐的人物李华（年龄、性格、优秀品质等）。 2. 描述李华是如何规划使用零花钱的。 3. 呼吁大家向他学习，养成良好的习惯。 写作要求： 1. 包含以上内容，可适当发挥，以使行文连贯； 2. 词数：80—100词（开头已给出，不计入总数）； 3. 文中不得出现真实姓名； 4. 提示词：saving, spending for fun, helping others, develop good habits等 I would like to recommend Li Hua as a role model for our class. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文： I would like to recommend Li Hua as a role model for our class because he knows how to use pocket money wisely.

Ni Xin, the head of the hospital, discussed the boy’s case with 13 top experts from different areas. They decided more MRI exams should be done quickly to get to the bottom of it. At the same time, the AI model also got to work. Its engineers put the boy's symptoms (症状) and medical history into the model, and it gave suggestions that were similar to the advice of the experts. Since this first case, the model has been working with human doctors on tough (棘手的) cases. This could improve how difficult conditions are diagnosed (诊断) and treated. According to Ni, the model was created by tech businesses using the hospital’s medical information. Its system includes knowledge from over 300 children’s doctors and years of top-quality medical records. It is trained to think like a doctor and can help manage all kinds of childhood diseases. Wang Xiaochuan, CEO of Baichuan AI, a tech partner to the hospital, said the use of AI at Beijing Children’s Hospital is a big step forward in AI healthcare. It will make high-quality (高质量的) medical services available to everyone. Ni added that the hospital will keep improving its research and development of the AI model. The goal is to help hospitals and families with health management. “By using this technology, the hospital hopes all 300 million children in the country will enjoy good medical care”, Ni said. 1．What was wrong with the 8-year-old boy, the first patient of the AI model?

At 18, soon after he finished schooling, Newton would spend his time making small tools. His head teacher saw the genius in him and asked his mother to send him to the university. Newton set out for Cambridge in June, 1661. Newton was always trying to understand and explain a lot of things in nature. To test a question about colours, he would stare at the sun with one eye until all the colours changed. As a result, he had to stay in the dark for some time before his eye returned to normal. Newton was the first to show us that white light is made up of colours mixed together. He was also the first person to understand the rainbow and explain how it forms. A story goes like this: One day, an apple fell on Newton’s head, and it was then that Newton realized that the apple fell towards Earth and didn’t go anywhere else. He thought to himself, “How did this happen?” After doing some experiments, he later knew all objects always fall towards Earth’s centre because Earth attracts them. He realized that every object in the universe attracts every other object towards it. Then Newton discovered the law of universal gravitation (引力). Newton was an English physicist, mathematician and astronomer. Because of the significant work Newton has done, he is widely considered as one of the greatest scientists of all time. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．What can we learn about Newton from Paragraph 1?

Known as the “Nobel Prize in math”, this prize is given every four years to at most four top mathematicians under 40. It is the first time Chinese people have received this great honor. Wang Hong was born in Guilin in 1991. She fell in love with math because of an interesting math problem. She liked learning new knowledge by herself. In 2007, she entered Peking University but failed to get into the math major (专业). Luckily, she changed her major to math after hard work. However, college math was really hard for her, and she once doubted herself. She kept moving forward through those difficult days. Now she is a professor at a university. Her research helps improve technologies like CT scans and radar (雷达) communication. When her research hits a dead end, she will do sports to clear her mind. She also loves drawing. She often draws simple pictures while thinking about problems, and she believes there is a hidden connection between maths and art. Deng Yu was born in 1989. He showed great math talent when he was young. He studied at Peking University, MIT and Princeton University, and now works as a professor at the University of Chicago. During his postdoctoral research, he met difficulties in publishing papers. Some companies offered him well-paid jobs, but he chose to keep doing math research because of his strong love for it. Now, his work provides mathematical support for fluid simulation (流体模拟) and helps with the design of planes and cars. He keeps hobbies like anime (动漫) to balance his work and life. Their great achievements encourage more young Chinese to explore the world of mathematics. 1．What can we know about the Fields Medal? A．Prize winners are less than 40 years old.

While England’s Stonehenge is known for its mysterious stone circle, there is an even older place in Türkiye, called Göbekli Tepe. It is thought to be the world’s oldest temple, built around 12,000 years ago—about 6,000 years before Stonehenge. Göbekli Tepe was discovered in the 1960s. It is made up of several big round spaces built with huge T-shaped stone blocks. Many of these blocks are cut with pictures of animals such as foxes, snakes, lions, and wild pigs. Unlike Stonehenge, these stones were not moved from far away; they were shaped directly from the nearby hills. What amazes experts most is that Göbekli Tepe was built by hunter-gatherers (狩猎采集者)—people who did not yet farm or live in cities. This changes the old idea that large places to honor ancestors were only built after farming began. Göbekli Tepe makes us rethink history. Maybe building such places brought people together, which later led to farming. The purpose of Göbekli Tepe remains unknown, just like Stonehenge. Some think it was an important place, used for special events, burials, or watching the sky. Others believe it was a meeting place for different groups to trade and tell stories. Today, Göbekli Tepe is a protected World Heritage Site. It helps us rethink human history and shows that ancient people were more skilled and organized than we once believed. The site reminds us that human societies could achieve great things through cooperation long before the rise of cities or kingdoms. 1．What makes Göbekli Tepe special compared to Stonehenge? A．It is a temple from England. B．It was built 6,000 years ago. C．It is older than Stonehenge. D．It was built with huge stones. 2．What was a possible use of Göbekli Tepe according to the passage? A．A hunting ground. B．A tourist site for visitors. C．A palace for a king. D．A religious meeting place. 3．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To explain how ancient people moved and shaped huge stones. B．To argue that Göbekli Tepe is more important than Stonehenge. C．To describe a mysterious ancient site and its historical importance. D．To encourage tourists to visit Türkiye's protected World Heritage Site. 4．When was Göbekli Tepe discovered? A．Around 12,000 years ago. B．In the 1960s. C．6,000 years before Stonehenge. D．Long after farming began. 5．Which of the following is TRUE? A．Hunter-gatherers were able to work together to finish big projects. B．People have known the exact use of Göbekli Tepe for many years. C．The stone blocks of Göbekli Tepe were transported from faraway places. D．Large religious buildings could only appear after cities came into being. ① “Nothing in the world makes people as sad as money,” a character in Antigone said. But maybe he just didn’t know how to spend it. Research suggests that if we spend wisely, money can, in fact, buy happiness. ② According to a common rule, spending on experiences instead of things makes us happiest. When asked about something they bought, those who talked about experiences like travel were happier than those who talked about things they bought. Psychologists believe we usually go back to how happy we were. This happens faster after buying things than after having experiences. For example, a new table makes us happy for a shorter time than a trip to Chile. ③ Not all experiences are worth the same, however. According to studies, shared experiences bring more happiness than solitary ones. It’s not just doing things that makes us happy—it’s doing things with others. So people who spend on activities by themselves value them no more than things they buy. ④ ▲ . Researchers from the University of Cambridge studied spending habits, personality, and happiness. They found that the “Big Five” personality traits (特征) can influence how people spend money. For example, outgoing people spend more on restaurants and fun, while careful people spend on fitness and health care. Those whose spending fits their personality are happier. ⑤ But be careful before you spend too much. The cash in your account is more connected with life satisfaction than the money you make. Still, don’t save every penny. When people bought gifts for a sick child instead of themselves, they felt more positive. This was true in both rich and poor countries. ⑥ So, can money buy happiness? Maybe the man in Antigone was wrong. If we learn to use our money well, it really can make us happier. 1．What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A．Things we bought are more important than experiences in life. B．Spending on experiences makes us happier than buying things. C．Buying a new table makes people happier than taking a trip. D．Spending money always makes people feel happy in the end. 2．What is closest in meaning to the underlined word “solitary” in Paragraph 3? A．Full of fun. B．Done alone. C．Easy to forget. D．Shared with others. 3．Which sentence is the best for the blank “ ▲ ”? A．Health always comes first. B．Money can buy everything. C．Personality also plays a role. D．Spending habits never change. 4．What is the main purpose of the text? A．To explain how to spend money in a happier way. B．To describe how to help sick children in poor countries. C．To prove that the man in Antigone was completely wrong. D．To show that making more money is the key to happiness. For Chen Sheng, a young man in Meitan, Guizhou Province, caring for the elderly is more than a job—it’s a calling in his heart. Chen Sheng was raised by his grandparents, and his dream was to take care of more elderly people. After graduating in 2017 with a degree in healthcare, Chen Sheng finished eight months of training in a local hospital and started to work in a nursing home. In his early working days, what he met was more difficult than he thought. He got up at 6 a.m. to help with morning tasks. He provided full bedside care, especially for the elderly who had to stay in bed all the time. Often, his day didn’t end until 11 p.m. He wanted to quit at first, but after a short time, the warmth and trust he received from the elderly changed his mind. Using his medical knowledge, Chen Sheng takes care of the elderly in a proper way, including physical examination, health guidance, advice on food and so on. “I arrived at the nursing home with lots of illnesses and could only lie in bed. After two months of good care by Chen Sheng, I was able to walk again by myself. Life here is very convenient, from great daily services to good medical care, just like at home, ” said Grandpa Li. Besides medical care, Chen Sheng also gives emotional (情感的) support. He always offers comfort in time when a grandpa or a grandma is upset. Grandma Sun likes to talk with Chen Sheng every day and always shares the things she considers valuable. Grandma Sun feels warm and happy because of Chen Sheng. Her family thanks him for his patience and great love. As the needs for elderly care continue to grow, more and more young people, including those born after 2000, have come to work in the nursing home.

Whether we spend, save, borrow or lend money, our culture influences our choices. People from different cultural backgrounds have their own money-related habits, and these differences are easy to understand. People in different countries have different ways of talking about money. Some people are unwilling to share their personal financial information with others. They seldom talk about how much they earn or how they spend their money. However, most Chinese people are willing to discuss earnings, house prices, savings and spending habits with close friends. By contrast, British people may talk about their daily spending, but they almost never share their earnings or savings with others. People also have different payment habits. Although cards and mobile payment apps bring us great convenience, some cultures still prefer using cash. For example, Germans pay with cash for 80 percent of their shopping. They believe touching real money can make them clearly realize how much they are spending. Saving habits also change from country to country. On average (平均), Chinese people save about 37% of their income. Spanish families only save 1.75%. Mexican families save 15%, while Russian families save nearly 8%. Besides, gift-giving and pocket money cultures show cultural differences too. Most people will remove the price tag (标签) before giving a gift. But in China, for gifts like gold jewellery (黄金珠宝), it is common to keep the price tag. What’s more, some Chinese parents give kids pocket money for doing housework. In the UK, teenagers often take part-time jobs to learn to manage their own money. It is interesting to learn about these cultural differences. No habit is right or wrong. We should respect different money cultures when we meet people from other countries. 1．What do British people hardly share with others? A．Their earnings and savings. B．Their daily shopping experiences. C．Their ideas about gift-giving. D．Their ways of making payments. 2．When do most people remove the price tag of a gift? A．While choosing the gift. B．After receiving the gift. C．Before giving the gift. D．When packing the gift. 3．Which country has the lowest average saving rate according to the passage? A．China. B．Russia. C．Mexico. D．Spain. 4．What can we infer from the passage? A．People from different cultures will never change their money habits. B．Cultural differences exist in many small aspects of people’s daily life. C．Using cash is a better way of payment than mobile payment. D．Chinese people always show the price tags on every gift they send. 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。 Usually great people encourage themselves and everyone around them toward better things.

It is a group of 1 built over more than two thousand years. The oldest parts were built in the Warring States period; the best-known parts were built in the Ming Dynasty, about six hundred years 2 . Building the wall was extremely hard. Archaeologists say that soldiers, farmers and workers did the work. They 3 stones and bricks up the mountains by hand or with simple machines. Many of them 4 went home. Today some parts of the wall are still 5 good condition, but others are falling down. Wind, rain, plants and too many 6 all damage it. Repairing the wall is not easy either. In some places, workers use old bricks taken from the 7 period so that the new part looks like the old one. In other places, they do nothing at all: sometimes the best way to protect a ruin is to leave 8 alone. “A wall that has lost its top can still tell the truth,” one expert says. “If we build a new top, we are telling a new story.” Scientists now use drones (无人机) and 3D scanning to 9 the wall. They can find small cracks (裂缝) before they become big problems. Thanks to their work, the wall may stand for many more years — 10 only if we remember that it is a place to protect, not just a place to take photos. 五、书面表达 1．近期，你校英语报正在开展以“寻找身边的榜样”（Searching for Role Models）为主题的征文活动。你的同学李华在零花钱管理方面做得非常出色。为了呼吁全班同学向他学习，养成良好的理财习惯，请你写一篇短文向校报投稿，推荐李华作为班级榜样。 写作内容要点： 1. 介绍推荐的人物李华（年龄、性格、优秀品质等）。 2. 描述李华是如何规划使用零花钱的。 3. 呼吁大家向他学习，养成良好的习惯。 写作要求： 1. 包含以上内容，可适当发挥，以使行文连贯； 2. 词数：80—100词（开头已给出，不计入总数）； 3. 文中不得出现真实姓名； 4. 提示词：saving, spending for fun, helping others, develop good habits等 I would like to recommend Li Hua as a role model for our class. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2．假如你是学生李华，你校下周将举办主题为“我最敬佩的人”的英文征集比赛活动，请你结合生活实际和以下提示写一篇英文演讲稿。 人物介绍 如职业等。 人物品格 请列出至少三点，如有责任感等，并适当举例说明。 人物影响 请列出至少一点他/她对你的影响。 注意：词数100左右，开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数；可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯；不得出现真实的学校名、班级名及个人隐私信息；可使用公众人物姓名。 The Person I Admire Most Dear teachers and fellow students, ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thanks for your attention! 3．题目：What I Have Learned as a Teenager 写作要求： 1. 结合青少年成长、零花钱管理、历史文化谈收获； 2. 简单说说自己今后的打算； 3. 禁止出现真实人名、校名； 4. 90词左右。 _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
