　　（2024·常州高一下質檢）I’m a student in my third year at Robert Gordon University， but I also work 35 hours a week at Sainsbury’s to make ends meet.
　　I constantly have to force myself to stay awake， and to be alert， whatever it takes.The work I do at Sainsbury’s is very physical like stacking shelves.I am lucky because the amount I lift at work is nothing compared with the weight I lift in the gym.I know I have the strength to bear it.
　　I am originally from Nigeria.I came here when I was seven.Money was always tight.My parents gave me everything I needed， but there was no money for luxuries.I worked hard at school though and， with the help of professors， I got the best A-level grades in my class.
　　Unfortunately， though I had applied for “settled” British residential status， the Home Office waited until I was in sixth form to approve my application.That meant I was not eligible for a student loan.The only way I could afford to go to university was that I got a job that would pay for all my living costs and my parents paid for my tuition fees.
　　I don’t have much time to socialize because of my job.Ideally， I’d like to have more time to study so I can excel at my course.Yes， I have a lot on my plate， but working hard isn’t new for me.Growing up， my parents cultivated in me the importance of working hard for what I want in life.
　　My dream is to get a job in the National Health Service.But now， I’m just focused on trying to get the best grades I can.Whenever I find life hard， I tell myself this is about my future.
4.Why does the author work long hours and sometimes overtime every week？ （　　）

D.Where there is life， there is hope.
Ⅱ.閱讀七選五
　　（2024·煙臺高一下月考）Many people think that if they can earn a lot of money and just reach that financial target， their problems will be solved.　8　
　　You may think that once you reach that financial target， you’ll feel like you’ve made it.Wrong.Instead， you’ll want more.It’s never enough.　9　 Money isn’t a destination； it’s a tool.It’s a means to buy clothes， food， cars， and other things that you want or need.
　　You may look at wealthy people and think I wish I were them.But if you think money will give you confidence or make you feel more complete， think again.Tom Bilyeu， the co-founder of Quest Nutrition，says， “Money is powerful.　10　 If you’re not proud of who you are， money won’t change that.If you don’t believe in yourself， money will fail you there， too.”
　　If all you’re interested in is money， you won’t be motivated （有積極性的） enough to deal with the challenges you will meet on your journey.　11　 According to Steve Taylor， Ph.D.， author of Out of the Darkness， purpose is an important part of a satisfying life.
　　Pursuing a passion can be more profitable in the long run.Doing what you love allows you to be creative and fills you up with energy.　12　 By pursuing a passion， you’ll be more satisfied and make as much or more money than someone pursuing income.
A.You need a purpose.
B.It’s the same as money.
C.Don’t be mistaken — money is necessary.
D.But it can’t change the way you feel about yourself.
E.That’s because having money as a goal won’t fill you up.
F.You actually end up working more because it doesn’t feel like work.
G.Unfortunately， pursuing money alone won’t bring you happiness or satisfaction.
Section Ⅰ　Listening and Speaking
Ⅰ.
語篇解讀：本文是一篇應用文。文章簡要介紹了一項藝術比賽，包括其主題、規則、提交方式、截止日期以及獎品等信息，旨在邀請符合條件的青少年藝術家參與，并鼓勵他們使用豐富的顏色來創作藝術作品。
1.B　細節理解題。根據第一段中的This contest requires your art to be made out of a wide variety of colours.You should use different colours even for your outlines and shading.可知，這一要求清楚地表明比賽專注于色彩的使用。
2.A　細節理解題。根據Guidelines and Details部分中的Your entry must be a character created by yourself.可知，所有參賽作品必須是參賽者自己創作的角色。
3.C　細節理解題。根據Prizes部分中的Winners and honorable mentions will have their works published in Teen Ink magazine.可知，榮譽獎獲得者的作品將在Teen Ink雜志上發表。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇記敘文。作者是一名大學三年級的學生，他每周要工作35個小時來保持收支平衡。每當他發現生活艱難時，他都會告訴自己要為未來而拼搏。
4.A　細節理解題。根據第四段最后一句可知，作者上得起大學的唯一方法是找一份能支付所有生活費用的工作，而作者的父母支付他的學費。由此可知，作者每周要工作很長時間，有時還要加班是為了自己支付生活費用。
5.C　詞義猜測題。根據畫線詞所在句上句可知，不幸的是，盡管作者申請了“定居”英國的居住身份，但英國內政部一直等到作者上六年級時才批準了申請。由此可知，作者不符合學生貸款的資格。所以畫線詞eligible意為“合格的，有資格的”。
6.C　推理判斷題。根據倒數第二段第一句可知，因為作者的工作，作者沒有太多的時間去社交。由此可推知，作者并不是一個善于社交的人。
7.B　主旨大意題。文章主要講述了作者每周要工作35個小時來保持收支平衡，一邊打工一邊上學，并取得優異成績的故事。作者這種不懈努力的行為體現了“自助者天助”。
Ⅱ.
語篇解讀：本文是一篇議論文。作者認為一味追求金錢不會讓你快樂和滿足。
8.G　空前講述許多人認為一旦實現了自己的經濟目標，那生活中的問題自然迎刃而解。下文幾段講述錢并不是萬能的，它不會讓你滿足，不會讓你改變自我認識，也不會促使你積極面對挑戰。由此可推斷，此處應描述“錢也有它的局限性”。故G項符合語境。
9.E　空前講述即使你實現了自己的經濟目標，你依然不會滿足。根據空后的Money isn’t a destination； it’s a tool.可知，設空處應該解釋你不滿足的原因，故E項符合語境，E項中的won’t fill you up與空前的you’ll want more相呼應。
10.D　空前提到錢的作用很大；空后通過舉例說明錢不會讓你改變自我認識。故D項符合語境，D項中的it指代空前的Money， can’t change與本空后的won’t change及fail相呼應。
11.A　根據本段內容可知，此處應講述你不應該一味追求金錢，而應該有人生目標，活得有意義，故A項符合語境。
12.F　空前提到從事自己熱愛的工作能讓你創意十足，精力充沛；空后講述從事自己熱愛的工作比只追求收入能讓你更滿足，能賺一樣多或者更多的錢。由此可知，設空處內容應與“從事自己熱愛的工作”或“追求自己熱愛的東西”相關，故F項符合語境。

　　（2024·常州高一下質檢）I’m a student in my third year at Robert
Gordon University， but I also work 35 hours a week at Sainsbury’s to
make ends meet.
　　I constantly have to force myself to stay awake， and to be alert，
whatever it takes.The work I do at Sainsbury’s is very physical like
stacking shelves.I am lucky because the amount I lift at work is nothing
compared with the weight I lift in the gym.I know I have the strength to
bear it.
　　I am originally from Nigeria.I came here when I was seven.Money
was always tight.My parents gave me everything I needed， but there was
no money for luxuries.I worked hard at school though and， with the help
of professors， I got the best A-level grades in my class.
　　Unfortunately， though I had applied for “settled” British
residential status， the Home Office waited until I was in sixth form to
approve my application.That meant I was not eligible for a student
loan.The only way I could afford to go to university was that I got a job
that would pay for all my living costs and my parents paid for my tuition fees.
　　I don’t have much time to socialize because of my job.Ideally，
I’d like to have more time to study so I can excel at my course.Yes， I
have a lot on my plate， but working hard isn’t new for me.Growing
up， my parents cultivated in me the importance of working hard for what
I want in life.
　　My dream is to get a job in the National Health Service.But now，
I’m just focused on trying to get the best grades I can.Whenever I find
life hard， I tell myself this is about my future.
語篇解讀：本文是一篇記敘文。作者是一名大學三年級的學生，他
每周要工作35個小時來保持收支平衡。每當他發現生活艱難時，他
都會告訴自己要為未來而拼搏。

都會告訴自己要為未來而拼搏。
4. Why does the author work long hours and sometimes overtime every
week？ （　　）
A. To pay for his own living expenses.
B. To pay for his tuition fees.
C. To prove his ability to earn money.
D. To help his parents pay off the debts.
解析：　細節理解題。根據第四段最后一句可知，作者上得起大
學的唯一方法是找一份能支付所有生活費用的工作，而作者的父母
支付他的學費。由此可知，作者每周要工作很長時間，有時還要加
班是為了自己支付生活費用。
5. What does the underlined word “eligible” in Paragraph 4 refer to？
（　　）
A. Responsible. B. Anxious.
C. Qualified. D. Accessible.
解析：　詞義猜測題。根據畫線詞所在句上句可知，不幸的是，
盡管作者申請了“定居”英國的居住身份，但英國內政部一直等到
作者上六年級時才批準了申請。由此可知，作者不符合學生貸款的
資格。所以畫線詞eligible意為“合格的，有資格的”。
6. Which of the following can NOT be used to describe the author？ （　　）
A. Persistent. B. Diligent.
C. Sociable. D. Ambitious.
解析：　推理判斷題。根據倒數第二段第一句可知，因為作者的
工作，作者沒有太多的時間去社交。由此可推知，作者并不是一個
善于社交的人。
7. Which proverb can best summarize the passage？（　　）
A. Actions speak louder than words.
B. God helps those who help themselves.
C. A penny saved is a penny earned.
D. Where there is life， there is hope.
解析：　主旨大意題。文章主要講述了作者每周要工作35個小時
來保持收支平衡，一邊打工一邊上學，并取得優異成績的故事。作
者這種不懈努力的行為體現了“自助者天助”。
Ⅱ.閱讀七選五
　　（2024·煙臺高一下月考）Many people think that if they can earn a
lot of money and just reach that financial target， their problems will be
solved. 　8　
　　You may think that once you reach that financial target， you’ll feel
like you’ve made it.Wrong.Instead， you’ll want more.It’s never
enough. 　9　 Money isn’t a destination； it’s a tool.It’s a means to
buy clothes， food， cars， and other things that you want or need.
　　You may look at wealthy people and think I wish I were them.But if
you think money will give you confidence or make you feel more
complete， think again.Tom Bilyeu， the co-founder of Quest
Nutrition，says， “Money is powerful. 　10　 If you’re not proud of
who you are， money won’t change that.If you don’t believe in
yourself， money will fail you there， too.”
　　If all you’re interested in is money， you won’t be motivated （有
積極性的） enough to deal with the challenges you will meet on your
journey. 　11　 According to Steve Taylor， Ph.D. ， author of Out of
the Darkness， purpose is an important part of a satisfying life.
　　Pursuing a passion can be more profitable in the long run.Doing what
you love allows you to be creative and fills you up with energy. 　12　 By
pursuing a passion， you’ll be more satisfied and make as much or more
money than someone pursuing income.
A. You need a purpose.
B. It’s the same as money.
C. Don’t be mistaken — money is necessary.
D. But it can’t change the way you feel about yourself.
E. That’s because having money as a goal won’t fill you up.
F. You actually end up working more because it doesn’t feel like work.
G. Unfortunately， pursuing money alone won’t bring you happiness or
satisfaction.
語篇解讀：本文是一篇議論文。作者認為一味追求金錢不會讓你快
樂和滿足。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇議論文。作者認為一味追求金錢不會讓你快
樂和滿足。
8. G　空前講述許多人認為一旦實現了自己的經濟目標，那生活中的
問題自然迎刃而解。下文幾段講述錢并不是萬能的，它不會讓你滿
足，不會讓你改變自我認識，也不會促使你積極面對挑戰。由此可推
斷，此處應描述“錢也有它的局限性”。故G項符合語境。
9. E　空前講述即使你實現了自己的經濟目標，你依然不會滿足。根
據空后的Money isn’t a destination； it’s a tool.可知，設空處應該解
釋你不滿足的原因，故E項符合語境，E項中的won’t fill you up與空
前的you’ll want more相呼應。
10. D　空前提到錢的作用很大；空后通過舉例說明錢不會讓你改變
自我認識。故D項符合語境，D項中的it指代空前的Money， can’t
change與本空后的won’t change及fail相呼應。
11. A　根據本段內容可知，此處應講述你不應該一味追求金錢，而
應該有人生目標，活得有意義，故A項符合語境。
12. F　空前提到從事自己熱愛的工作能讓你創意十足，精力充沛；空
后講述從事自己熱愛的工作比只追求收入能讓你更滿足，能賺一樣多
或者更多的錢。由此可知，設空處內容應與“從事自己熱愛的工作”
或“追求自己熱愛的東西”相關，故F項符合語境。
謝謝觀看！
