When a British couple recently sold their beloved house, they believed they had tied everything up, and had been busy working to make sure the new owners could live in a house which was in a good condition before the sale.Repairs had been made and the paperwork had all been in order before they removed their belongings from the home where they had lived in the last 32 years or so.
A few weeks after they finished the sale, James and Clarrisa Munford discovered a box of treasures, which the former owners had hidden and forgotten all about—30 gold and silver coins.Legally, the coins—which were valued as much as ten thousand pounds—were now the Munfords' property, and they were well within their rights to quietly sell them and pocket the profits.
However, the Munfords, who own a business in London, immediately chose to get in touch with the sellers and return the coins, which had been left inside a built-in drawer in the home.“There is an old saying: ‘You harvest what you plant.’” said the original owner later, who didn't believe his ears when receiving Mr Munford's call.
.“My wife and I spent a great deal of time and effort to ensure that we left our home in excellent conditions for the Munfords, and our kindness was certainly returned by another！” They wanted to give the Munfords some coins but they refused politely.
The sellers of the house were unwilling to be named, but said they wanted to share this story online to bring hope and inspiration to other people during these difficult times.“Now it is a good time to pause and reflect about how we treat each other.If there were more people like the Munfords, this world would be a much better place to live in.” he said.
语篇导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Munfords夫妇在新买的房子里发现了30枚金币和银币，他们立即选择与卖家联系并归还，原来的主人对此非常感动。阅读本文有利于培养学生拾金不昧和诚信友善的品德。
24．What did the Munfords do when finding the treasures？

C．They contacted the sellers of the house.

D．He was nervous.

Despite earning more than $100,000 in household income, many people feel that they are living month to month and that sudden medical emergency could easily move them from the upper middle class to low-income earners.This feeling, despite these levels of income, seems a bit unbelievable.Let's take a deeper look at the phenomenon.
Even in today's tough economy, for those with six-figure incomes credit is easy to come by.Credit companies may have cut back offerings to those in lower income brackets due to the recent credit reforms, but there seems to be little or no effect on high income earners.Their being able to get credit without difficulty gives them a false sense of security that makes them spend more than their incomes can afford.That's why they are in credit card debt faster than average.
Some higher income professionals feel like they are making lots of money now, and believe that they will continue to make big money.This may reduce their feeling that they need to watch their money carefully now.Hand in hand with that, many of them probably believe that they are making more money than they really are—or said another way, the money they make will go farther than it really does.
Meanwhile, many young professionals who are earning good incomes don't come from particularly advantaged backgrounds, and their reference point may be that they are making twice (or more) than their parents were—so they spend like that as well.They don't take account of the effect of inflation, which means that the cost of living is much higher than that in their parents’ generation.Further, the more you earn, the more you pay in tax.Rather than focusing on after-tax incomes, many high-income earners only look at the top line figures.A $100,000 income before tax is only about $70,000 after tax.
语篇导读：本文是一篇说明文。作者就高收入人群仍然觉得自己贫穷的现象进行了说明，指出信贷容易获得以及对自己收入的误解是其感觉自己仍然贫穷的原因。
28．What is the purpose of the first paragraph？
A．Introduce the understanding of high income.
B．Confirm a strange phenomenon.
C．Stress the inconvenience brought by illnesses.
D．Lead to the topic of feeling poor.
解析：D　推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知，尽管家庭收入超过十万美元，但许多人觉得他们是在按月生活，突然的医疗紧急情况很容易使他们从中上层阶级变成低收入者。这种感觉，尽管有这些收入水平，似乎有点不可思议。让我们更深入地了解一下这一现象。由此推知，第一段的目的是引出高收入人群仍然感觉自己贫穷的话题。故选D。
29．What is the second paragraph mainly about？
A．Lack of real security.
B．Easy access to credit.
C．The successful credit reforms.
D．Their advantaged backgrounds.
解析：B　段落大意题。根据第二段内容可知，即使在今天艰难的经济中，对于那些拥有六位数收入的人来说，信贷是很容易得到的。他们能够毫无困难地获得信贷，这给了他们一种虚假的安全感，使他们的消费远远超过他们的收入所能承受的范围。那就是为什么他们比一般人更快陷入信用卡债务。由此判断，第二段的主要内容是信贷容易获得。故选B。
30．Why do some professionals spend beyond their income？
A．Their money goes farther than it really does.
B．They fail to make more money like before.
C．They misunderstand their incomes.
D．They are often in credit card debt.
解析：C　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段内容可知，有些专业人士花钱超出收入是因为他们误解了自己的收入。故选C。
31．What does the author intend to remind young professionals about in the end？
A．They should work harder to pay more taxes.
B．They need to turn to their parents for help.
C．They should keep their mind when faced with poverty.
D．They need to look at the present rather than look back.
解析：D　推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，作者在文章最后想提醒年轻的专业人士不要把自己的收入与父辈进行比较，不要觉得自己收入很高，要考虑当前的通货膨胀因素和扣税因素。由此可知，年轻的专业人士需要着眼于现在而不是看过去。故选D。
D
Aunt Fannie was Blueberry Jam Woman.Of course she wasn't really my aunt, and out of fear, I never called that to her face.The name always made my father chuckle (轻笑) and my mother look sternly (严厉地) at both of us—at me for being disrespectful, and at my father for encouraging my bad behavior.I enjoyed both reactions, so I looked for every opportunity to work for the name into conversation.
As a young woman, my mother had worked in the kitchen of a large Victorian farm house owned by Fannie Cratty.Fannie was the last of the Cratty line；she had never married, and had no living heirs (继承人)．My father once told me that it was because she was too mean to share her family wealth or pass it on.Aunt Fannie was noted for her jam, and for never sharing the recipe (食谱) with another living soul.Even though my mother knew it by heart, as long as Aunt Fannie was alive, she never made the jam without Miss Cratty in our kitchen to direct the process and preserve the secret.
One year, after I had been particularly helpful with the jam-making process.Aunt Fannie gave me a quarter and then made me promise I would never spend it.“Hold onto this quarter，”she said, “and some day you will be rich.I still have my first very quarter.” It had obviously worked for her, so I put that 1938-quarter in a small box, put it in my dresser drawer, and waited to become rich.
I now have the blueberry-jam recipe and the quarter from Aunt Fannie.Neither has significantly contributed to my wealth, but I keep them to remind myself to hold onto the valuable things in life.Money can make you feel rich for a while, but it is your relationships, and your memories of time spent with friends and family that truly leave you wealthy.And that is a fortune that anyone can build.
语篇导读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过讲述芬妮姨妈和她的蓝莓酱配方，向我们说明金钱只可以暂时让人感觉富有，唯有和他人的关系以及和朋友、家人们一起度过的美好时光才会让我们变得真正富有。
32．What can we infer from “fear” mentioned in the first paragraph？
A．It was too difficult for the author to learn to make jam.
B．The author knew it was impolite to call Aunt Fannie Blueberry Jam Woman.
C．The author hesitated to talk with Aunt Fannie because of shyness.
D．Aunt Fannie was too strict and serious to get along well with the author's family.
解析：B　推理判断题。根据第一段可推知，第一段提到作者出于“恐惧”，是因为作者知道称呼芬妮姨妈“蓝莓果酱女士”是不礼貌的，而且自己妈妈也会因此生气。故选B。
33．Which of the following is right according to Paragraph 2？
A．The author's mother knew how to make the jam.
B．The author often helped Aunt Fannie make the jam.
C．The author's mother always made the jam alone.
D．Aunt Fannie was willing to share her recipe.
解析：A　细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知，尽管我母亲早已熟记于心，但只要芬妮姨妈还活着，没有克瑞蒂小姐在厨房里指导制作过程以保守秘密，她从来不会做这种果酱。所以作者的妈妈是知道怎么做果酱的。故选A。
34．Why did the author put away the quarter carefully？
A．He thought it was a valuable quarter because of its long history.
B．He felt it was a gift from the elder and she should respect her.
C．He believed he would be rich as Aunt Fannie was.
D．He felt afraid of Aunt Fannie, because she was a serious woman.
解析：C　细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句可知，作者相信细心收藏硬币，日后也能像芬妮姨妈一样富有。故选C。
35．What does the author try to tell us？
A．Not to put a price on generosity.
B．To put ourselves into others’ shoes.
C．Not to think of kindness as a burden.
D．To value the time with family and friends.
解析：D　推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，作者想告诉我们要珍惜与家人和朋友在一起的时间。故选D。
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。
Don't be too concerned about money, because it may distract you from achieving happiness.And the irony (具有讽刺意味的事) is that people think they will be happy when they have money. 36.　　.If you are happy and you have money, you can use it for happiness.If you are unhappy and you have money, you will use that money for more unhappiness.Money is simply a neutral force.
Don't misunderstand me: 37.　　.I am not against anything.Money is a means.
Your money will enhance your patterns, whether they are good or bad.
38.　　.They are ready, at any moment, to change their patterns and to change their ways, if more money is available somewhere else.
Once the money is there, then suddenly you are no longer yourself; you are ready to change.
This is the way of the worldly man.Remember, I don't call a person worldly because he or she has money. 39.　　.This applies to people with no money as well—they may simply be poor.Just being poor does not equal to lacking spirit; and just being rich does not equal to being a materialist.The materialistic pattern of life is one in which money predominates (占主导地位) over everything.
The non-materialistic life is one in which money is just a means; happiness predominates; joy predominates; your own individuality predominates. 40.　　, and you are not distracted.
Then suddenly you will see your life has a meaningful quality.
A．I am not against money
B．However, money has nothing to do with happiness
C．So they attach great importance to money
D．You know who you are and where you are going
E．Money brings great joy for people who pursue it
F．I call them worldly if they change their motives for money
G．But people keep looking for money as if money would bring happiness
语篇导读：本文是一篇议论文。作者讨论了自己对金钱的看法。阅读本文有利于培养学生对金钱的正确认识。
解析：
36．B　根据上一句可知具有讽刺意味的事情是，人们认为有钱就会幸福。根据本段最后一句可知金钱只是一种中性的东西。由此可知，设空处应表示金钱与幸福没有关系。B项符合语境。故选B。
37．A　根据下文“I am not against anything.” 可知“我”不反对任何东西。所以，作者并不是在反对金钱。A项符合语境。故选A。
38．G　根据下文可知如果在其他地方可以获得更多的钱，他们会随时准备改变自己。由此可知，G项符合语境。故选G。
39．F　根据上文“记住，我称一个人世俗并不是因为他或她有钱”可知，本句是在说明作者称别人世俗的真正原因，F项符合语境，故选F。
40．D　根据上文可知金钱只是一种手段；幸福占主导地位；快乐占主导地位；你自己的个性占主导地位。下文说到不会分心，那么怎么才不会分心呢？你要知道你自己是谁，要去哪里。故选D。
第三部分　语言运用(共两节，满分30分)
第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
(2024·合肥高一检测)
We were traveling home over the winter holidays by car and stopped to have supper.There was a big snow storm in the news but we were traveling south and the roads stayed clear for us for hours, so we figured we'd beat the storm.By the time we finished eating, the temperature had dropped to just below freezing but we weren't paying attention.
We got back on the road.I was behind the wheel, and within less than five minutes we must have crossed a county line because the roadway suddenly became narrower and less well-marked.There was snow on the ground on either side of the road.
Suddenly there was freezing ice on the road and before I had a chance to slow down, I had slid over a long area of ice and the car started to fishtail(摆尾行驶)．My family had already fallen asleep in the backseat.It was so frightening.
I stayed off the brakes (刹车) for several long moments, nervously judging the areas of woods on both sides of the road as the back of the car slid from side to side.Then there was a small space on the left and I took the risk of gently tapping on the brakes.
The car left the roadway still going at a high rate of speed and headed for the trees on the other side of the space.There was a stump (树桩) and the car got hung up as it went over the stump, swung us around, and suddenly stopped in the opposite direction we'd been going.It was cold and snowy and we had a young child with us.We got out to see how we were going to get off the stump.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
Having learnt about the difficult situation, we knew we had to wait for help.
Then we discussed how to remove the danger caused by the ice.
参考范文：
Having learnt about the difficult situation, we knew we had to wait for help.Soon some more cars came.They had the same trouble as we had, but they took great risks to stop their cars behind us.The drivers got out of their cars, offering to help us get out of trouble.They walked around our car, trying to find a proper way to rescue it.At last, they decided to free the car by lifting it.We waited a while until enough men gathered to lift my car.
Then we discussed how to remove the danger caused by the ice.Someone suggested that we should clear up the ice, but this would take too much time and energy without tools.Eventually we decided to go to a small farm nearby and ask for help.The farmer was a warm-hearted man, and he was only too happy to help us.He came up with two ways: he could provide us with sand or salt to cover the ice.We ended up using sand because it was more environmentally friendly.Seeing other cars passing safely, we were delighted.
