Today, we are talking about money. I can share a bit about my history with money and my new view when it comes to using green paper.
I made a web page with links to posts about our financial (财政的) journey where you can look for more details of where we've been and how we got where we are now. It was a big part of my story in the past and was a huge part of our downsizing（精简） journey. We got out of debt and stayed out of debt.
So I feel eager（渴望的）to share the benefits of being on this side. It takes more planning and more careful thought whenever a dollar is spent now than it did when I had a wallet full of credit cards. I now like to think all of my dollars doing the job. So many of us work for money and don't consider that money should work for us, too. Make your dollars do the job of helping you live the life you want.
Each time money is spent or saved, it should be going toward something that you purposefully want for your life. Last week I was out and I spent $ 20 on food in 3 days. It made me angry because afterward I thought about eating is not at all what I want for my life.
On the other hand, there are times I spend $ 20 while out with my family and it doesn't bother（使烦恼）me one bit. An afternoon out with my kids during which we stop for ice cream, and do something fun together has a completely different feel.
In the end, I want the dollars I spend to have purpose like I can enjoy life while still planning and saving for the future.

A. more credit cards should be used in our daily life
B. we should work hard to make more money

A sleepover (过夜) program, which is designed to make kids believe that their favorite toys enjoy reading, can help encourage children to pick up more books, a new study suggests.
Toys sleepover programs are designed to get children interested in books. Children take their toys to a library for the night. At this point, workers and volunteers take photos of the toys which explore the library and read books. The next day, the children collect their toys and the photos of what the toys did during the night. They are given the books their toys chose to read.
It was found that before the sleepover the children did not spend time looking at the books in their play area at preschool. Immediately after the sleepover, the number of children who read to the toys was higher than the number who did not, but after three days the effect decreased gradually.
The researchers also tested a method for sustaining the effect. They reminded the children of the sleepover a month later, by hiding the toys and showing them the photos again the next day. This simple method brought an increase in the number of children reading to their toys.
The study proves for the first time that children who take part in sleepover programs read picture books to their toys more. “We wanted to know if there really was an effect, and if so, how long it lasts. Surprisingly, not only did the children show interest in the books, but they also began to read to their toys. This means that a new behavior pattern appeared that the children hadn’t had before. We did not expect anything like this,” said one of the researchers.
Reading is important for the development of children’s language skills and imagination. When parents read to their children, it is a passive way of reading for the child. However, when children read to their toys, it is a more active, self-directed way of reading, helping them develop into more active readers, researchers said.
8. What is the purpose of the sleepover program
A. To develop children’s language skills.
B. To help children to sleep well.
C. To encourage children to read more.
D. To guide children to form a good sleeping habit.
9. What do children do in the sleepover program
A. Go around the library with their toys.
B. Sleep with their toys.
C. Read together with their toys.
D. Take their toys to the library.
10. The underlined word “sustaining” in paragraph 4 can be replaced by______.
A. keeping B. testing C. surveying D. showing
11. What made the researchers surprised after the study of the sleepover program
A. Children showed no interest in the books.
B. The effect of the sleepover program could last long.
C. Children began to read to their toys on their own.
D. Whether the sleepover program had an effect remained unknown.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【分析】本文为说明文。文章说明了一项过夜活动的研究，旨在让孩子们相信他们最喜欢的玩具也喜欢阅读，这项活动有助于鼓励孩子们多读书。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“A sleepover (过夜) program, which is designed to make kids believe that their favorite toys enjoy reading, can help encourage children to pick up more books, a new study suggests.(一项新的研究表明，一项旨在让孩子们相信他们最喜欢的玩具也喜欢阅读的通宵活动，有助于鼓励孩子们拿起更多的书) ”可知，过夜活动的目的在于鼓励孩子们读更多的书。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Children take their toys to a library for the night. At this point, workers and volunteers take photos of the toys which explore the library and read books. The next day, the children collect their toys and the photos of what the toys did during the night. They are given the books their toys chose to read.(孩子们把玩具带到图书馆过夜。这时候，工作人员和志愿者拍摄玩具探索图书馆和阅读书籍的照片。第二天，孩子们收集他们的玩具和玩具在晚上做什么的照片。他们会得到玩具选择读的书)”可知，孩子们把玩具带到图书馆，阅读玩具选择读的书。故选D项。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段“The researchers also tested a method for sustaining the effect. They reminded the children of the sleepover a month later, by hiding the toys and showing them the photos again the next day. This simple method brought an increase in the number of children reading to their toys.(研究人员还测试了一种维持这种效果的方法。一个月后，他们把玩具藏起来，第二天再给孩子们看那些照片，以此来提醒他们过夜的事情。这个简单的方法使孩子们对着玩具读书的人数增加了)”可知，研究人员运用给孩子看照片提醒他们过夜的事情，这样可以增加孩子读书的数量，保持过夜活动的效果。由此可知，“sustaining”可替换为“keeping”。故选A项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段““Surprisingly, not only did the children show interest in the books, but they also began to read to their toys. This means that a new behavior pattern appeared that the children hadn’t had before. We did not expect anything like this,” said one of the researchers.(“令人惊讶的是，孩子们不仅对书表现出兴趣，而且还开始对着玩具读书。这意味着一种新的行为模式出现了，这是孩子们以前没有过的。我们不希望这样的事情，”其中一名研究人员说)”可知，孩子们在过夜活动之后对着玩具读书使得研究人员感到惊讶。故选C项。

Who says that being roommates with someone from a completely different generation has to be strange Lately, more and more Americans are becoming intergenerational (代际的)roommates, and they’re changing the way people think they should be living.
Explained as those that are separated by at least one generation living together, there has been a major increase in intergenerational roommate arrangements (安排)within the United States since 1971. In fact, statistics show that this number has actually quadrupled (增长四倍)since then. In a Pew Research Center article, it shared that by March 2021, there were at least 59. 7 million Americans that had many generations living under one roof.
There are a ton of reasons that come into play for these types of arrangements. For some, it’s because of the increase in the average life-expectancy age(平均预期寿命), a decreased birth rate, a rise in college tuition, the ever rising rentals in almost every coastal city, and more. But if anything, many say that one main reason behind the rise is that older people have space to rent out and that having younger people around just makes them happier.
According to a 25-year-old robotics student living in Massachusetts, Nadia Abdullah, who moved in with her 64-year-old roommate Judith in 2019, “It was perfect——Judith has become like my family.”
Their arrangement was $700 a month from Nadia, plus the promise of her doing some help around the house. This also allowed Nadia to live just 6 miles from Boston and 30 minutes from her robotics job located in Beverly Mass. Nadia was matched with Judith through website, a renting center specifically created to find intergenerational roommates.
Another young renting center reviewer, Kaplan, also gave some opinions on the service and why it’s so special, saying, “Through this, I lived with Sarah while attending Harvard. She provided the type of knowledge you just can’t Google——showing me how to garden, how to cook fish, and add French Romanticism to life.”
12. What is the increasing housing trend mentioned in the text.
A. More people are living together as roommates.
B. Strangers of a generation are living together like a family.
C. Different generations are living under the same roof.
D. Family members of different generations are living together.
13. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us
A. The types of the arrangements. B. The reasons for the arrangements.
C. The solutions to the arrangements. D. The problems with the arrangements.
14. What could Kaplan learn from the roommate
A. How to google special knowledge. B. How to build a garden.
C. How to fish. D. How to live a romantic life
15. What can be concluded from Nadia and Kaplan’s experiences
A. The website is popular with university students.
B. The intergenerational roommates should help each other.
C. The intergenerational roommate arrangements work well.
D. The elderly benefit more than the young from the arrangements.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了在美国，越来越多的隔代人群选择居住在同一屋檐下。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Explained as those that are separated by at least one generation living together, there has been a major increase in intergenerational roommate arrangements (安排)within the United States since 1971. In fact, statistics show that this number has actually quadrupled (增长四倍)since then. In a Pew Research Center article, it shared that by March 2021, there were at least 59. 7 million Americans that had many generations living under one roof.(被解释为至少有一代人住在一起，自1971年以来，美国的代际室友安排大幅增加。事实上，统计数据显示，从那时起，这个数字实际上已经翻了四番。皮尤研究中心在一篇文章中表示，截至2021年3月，至少有59人。700万美国人，几代人生活在一个屋檐下。)”可知，文章中所提到的这种正在增长的住房趋势指的是“不同代人群在同一屋檐下居住”。故选C项。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“There are a ton of reasons that come into play for these types of arrangements. For some, it’s because of the increase in the average life-expectancy age(平均预期寿命)，a decreased birth rate, . a rise in college tuition, the ever rising rentals in almost every coastal city, and more. But if anything, many say that one main reason behind the rise is that older people have space to rent out and that having younger people around just makes them happier.(对于这些类型的安排，有很多因素在起作用。对一些人来说，这是因为平均预期寿命的增加，出生率的下降，大学学费的上涨，几乎每个沿海城市的租金都在上涨，等等。但如果有什么不同的话，许多人声称，房价上涨的一个主要原因是老年人有房子出租，而年轻人在身边让他们更快乐。)”可知，本段主要分析了“隔代人群在同一屋檐下居住”这种安排的原因。故选B项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“She provided the type of knowledge you just can’t Google-showing me how to garden, how to cook fish, and add French Romanticism to life.(她提供了你无法在谷歌上搜索到的知识——教我如何园艺，如何烹饪鱼，以及如何将法式浪漫主义融入生活。)”可知，Kaplan可以从年长的室友那里学会如何做园艺、烹饪鱼以及浪漫地生活。故选D项。

47. 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。
Tina was a 13-year-old girl. She was playing in the yard one morning when she overheard her parents’ dialogue. Her father, a sheepherder who raised hundreds of sheep, was going to the nearest town to do some urgent things. He suggested that Tina should herd (放牧) the sheep while he was away. But her mother, a disabled woman, doubted whether Tina could do that.
Hearing this, Tina stepped into her parents’ room. “Mom, I can herd the sheep. I have grown up,” said Tina, full of expectation. Her parents smiled and agreed. After putting some bread and water into her bag as lunch, Tina drove the sheep out of sheepfold (羊圈), walking them south to a distant grassland. Her mother repeatedly told her that she didn’t have to herd the sheep until the sunset like her father did. But Tina had made up her mind to prove that she had grown up.
It was the first time that Tina had herded the sheep. That day seemed much longer than any other day before. The sun seemed to have stopped in the middle of the sky. The bread was eaten up soon and so was the water. So after some hesitation, Tina finally decided to drive the sheep back home while the sun was still high in the west.
Tina’s father was waiting outside the sheepfold, as if he had expected all that. He smiled at Tina but Tina just kept her head down. The sheep soon got into the sheepfold. Tina was about to shut the door when her father told her to count the sheep in case that some sheep were lost. Tina followed her father’s orders despite her unwillingness.
The sheep were not cooperative (配合的) at all. They were coming and going. Tina counted the sheep three times but each was a different number. She tried again and again and at last she told her father that she had lost three. Her father was not angry but said, “Three Are you kidding ” Tina felt so guilty that she turned around immediately and went to look for the missing sheep and the pride as well.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
It was getting dark and Tina walked along the path to the grassland in search of the sheep.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“No, you didn’t lose them,” her father said calmly, much to her surprise.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
It was getting dark and Tina walked along the path to the grassland in search of the sheep. Tina searched everywhere she could think of, but in vain. The grass and jungle along the path seemed like beasts that were ready to attack her. Tina might lack the courage to walk in such a dark night before, but not that night. After 3 hours’ searching, she was exhausted. So she went back home. Her parents were sitting on the bed, seeming to be waiting for her. Tina gathered her courage and said in a low voice, “Dad, I failed. I didn’t find them back.”
Paragraph 2:
“No, you didn’t lose them,” her father said calmly, much to her surprise. He then told her the best time to count the sheep was when they were getting into the sheepfold through the door. Tina said she was too stupid to think of that. But her mother comforted her, saying that her father followed all the way to make sure Tina was safe. Tina was so touched and went forward to hug her parents. They smiled and patted Tina, “We are proud of you. You have really grown up!”
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Tina第一次独自放羊的经历。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“天渐渐黑了，Tina沿着小路去草地找羊。”以及第二段首句内容““不，你没有把它们弄丢，”她父亲平静地说，这让她很吃惊。”可知，第一段可描写Tina出发去找羊，但是一无所获。
②由第二段首句内容““不，你没有把它们弄丢，”她父亲平静地说，这让她很吃惊。”可知，第二段可描写父亲告诉Tina应该如何放羊，如何数羊。并且鼓励Tina以后会更好。
2续写线索：父亲养几百只羊——父亲有事想让Tina放羊——母亲担心——Tina主动提出帮忙放羊——时间过得缓慢——早早将羊往回赶——父亲正等着——父亲让她数羊——觉得少三只羊——找羊却找不到——父亲告诉她羊并没有少——父母鼓励

Today, we are talking about money. I can share a bit about my history with money and my new view when it comes to using green paper.
I made a web page with links to posts about our financial (财政的) journey where you can look for more details of where we've been and how we got where we are now. It was a big part of my story in the past and was a huge part of our downsizing（精简） journey. We got out of debt and stayed out of debt.
So I feel eager（渴望的）to share the benefits of being on this side. It takes more planning and more careful thought whenever a dollar is spent now than it did when I had a wallet full of credit cards. I now like to think all of my dollars doing the job. So many of us work for money and don't consider that money should work for us, too. Make your dollars do the job of helping you live the life you want.
Each time money is spent or saved, it should be going toward something that you purposefully want for your life. Last week I was out and I spent $ 20 on food in 3 days. It made me angry because afterward I thought about eating is not at all what I want for my life.
On the other hand, there are times I spend $ 20 while out with my family and it doesn't bother（使烦恼）me one bit. An afternoon out with my kids during which we stop for ice cream, and do something fun together has a completely different feel.
In the end, I want the dollars I spend to have purpose like I can enjoy life while still planning and saving for the future.
4. The underlined words “green paper” in Paragraph 1 refer to“________”.
A. money B. work C. newspaper D. book
5. You can learn about the writer's history with money________.
A. by reading posts about their financial journey

C. by making a web page

6. In the writer's opinion,________.
A. more credit cards should be used in our daily life
B. we should work hard to make more money
C. money should help us live better
D. saving money is very easy
7. Why does the writer feel happy with the money spent with his family
A. Because the money is spent on food.
B. Because the money is spent in doing something fun.
C. Because eating is what he wants for his life.
D. Because the money goes toward something that he wants for his life.

A sleepover (过夜) program, which is designed to make kids believe that their favorite toys enjoy reading, can help encourage children to pick up more books, a new study suggests.
Toys sleepover programs are designed to get children interested in books. Children take their toys to a library for the night. At this point, workers and volunteers take photos of the toys which explore the library and read books. The next day, the children collect their toys and the photos of what the toys did during the night. They are given the books their toys chose to read.
It was found that before the sleepover the children did not spend time looking at the books in their play area at preschool. Immediately after the sleepover, the number of children who read to the toys was higher than the number who did not, but after three days the effect decreased gradually.
The researchers also tested a method for sustaining the effect. They reminded the children of the sleepover a month later, by hiding the toys and showing them the photos again the next day. This simple method brought an increase in the number of children reading to their toys.
The study proves for the first time that children who take part in sleepover programs read picture books to their toys more. “We wanted to know if there really was an effect, and if so, how long it lasts. Surprisingly, not only did the children show interest in the books, but they also began to read to their toys. This means that a new behavior pattern appeared that the children hadn’t had before. We did not expect anything like this,” said one of the researchers.
Reading is important for the development of children’s language skills and imagination. When parents read to their children, it is a passive way of reading for the child. However, when children read to their toys, it is a more active, self-directed way of reading, helping them develop into more active readers, researchers said.
8. What is the purpose of the sleepover program
A. To develop children’s language skills.
B. To help children to sleep well.
C. To encourage children to read more.
D. To guide children to form a good sleeping habit.
9. What do children do in the sleepover program
A. Go around the library with their toys.
B. Sleep with their toys.
C. Read together with their toys.
D. Take their toys to the library.
10. The underlined word “sustaining” in paragraph 4 can be replaced by______.
A. keeping B. testing C. surveying D. showing
11. What made the researchers surprised after the study of the sleepover program
A. Children showed no interest in the books.
B. The effect of the sleepover program could last long.
C. Children began to read to their toys on their own.
D. Whether the sleepover program had an effect remained unknown.
D
Who says that being roommates with someone from a completely different generation has to be strange Lately, more and more Americans are becoming intergenerational (代际的)roommates, and they’re changing the way people think they should be living.
Explained as those that are separated by at least one generation living together, there has been a major increase in intergenerational roommate arrangements (安排)within the United States since 1971. In fact, statistics show that this number has actually quadrupled (增长四倍)since then. In a Pew Research Center article, it shared that by March 2021, there were at least 59. 7 million Americans that had many generations living under one roof.
There are a ton of reasons that come into play for these types of arrangements. For some it’s because of the increase in the average life-expectancy age(平均预期寿命), a decreased birth rate, a rise in college tuition, the ever rising rentals in almost every coastal city, and more. But if anything, many say that one main reason behind the rise is that older people have space to rent out and that having younger people around just makes them happier.
According to a 25-year-old robotics student living in Massachusetts, Nadia Abdullah, who moved in with her 64-year-old roommate Judith in 2019, “It was perfect——Judith has become like my family.”
Their arrangement was $700 a month from Nadia, plus the promise of her doing some help around the house. This also allowed Nadia to live just 6 miles from Boston and 30 minutes from her robotics job located in Beverly Mass. Nadia was matched with Judith through website, a renting center specifically created to find intergenerational roommates.
Another young renting center reviewer, Kaplan, also gave some opinions on the service and why it’s so special, saying, “Through this, I lived with Sarah while attending Harvard. She provided the type of knowledge you just can’t Google——showing me how to garden, how to cook fish, and add French Romanticism to life.”

47. 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。
Tina was a 13-year-old girl. She was playing in the yard one morning when she overheard her parents’ dialogue. Her father, a sheepherder who raised hundreds of sheep, was going to the nearest town to do some urgent things. He suggested that Tina should herd (放牧) the sheep while he was away. But her mother, a disabled woman, doubted whether Tina could do that.
Hearing this, Tina stepped into her parents’ room. “Mom, I can herd the sheep. I have grown up,” said Tina, full of expectation. Her parents smiled and agreed. After putting some bread and water into her bag as lunch, Tina drove the sheep out of sheepfold (羊圈), walking them south to a distant grassland. Her mother repeatedly told her that she didn’t have to herd the sheep until the sunset like her father did. But Tina had made up her mind to prove that she had grown up.
It was the first time that Tina had herded the sheep. That day seemed much longer than any other day before. The sun seemed to have stopped in the middle of the sky. The bread was eaten up soon and so was the water. So after some hesitation, Tina finally decided to drive the sheep back home while the sun was still high in the west.
Tina’s father was waiting outside the sheepfold, as if he had expected all that. He smiled at Tina but Tina just kept her head down. The sheep soon got into the sheepfold. Tina was about to shut the door when her father told her to count the sheep in case that some sheep were lost. Tina followed her father’s orders despite her unwillingness.
The sheep were not cooperative (配合的) at all. They were coming and going. Tina counted the sheep three times but each was a different number. She tried again and again and at last she told her father that she had lost three. Her father was not angry but said, “Three Are you kidding ” Tina felt so guilty that she turned around immediately and went to look for the missing sheep and the pride as well.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
It was getting dark and Tina walked along the path to the grassland in search of the sheep.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“No, you didn’t lose them,” her father said calmly, much to her surprise.
