It was many years ag. I was a yung dad sitting n the cuch reading a fairy tale t my little girl. She sat next t me with her head n my arm as I tld the tale. When it came t the end I finished with thse famus wrds: “And they lived happily ever after.” As I lked ver t her with her brwn hair and big, inncent eyes, I culd see the smile n her face and I never wanted it t end. Then I realized that the ending f the bk was what I wanted fr her. I wanted her t “live happily ever after”.
Still, deep in my heart I knew that this culdn't always be s. I knew that there wuld be times when her heart was brken. I knew there wuld be times when she cried in srrw and I culdn't cmfrt her. I knew there wuld be times when all she felt was fear, sadness, srrw, and despair. As I tuched her hair and smiled at her I hped that thse times wuld be brief and that she wuld have jy in her life mre ften than nt. Living happily ever after, thugh, seemed ut f the questin.
It takes me a lt f years t realize that it is pssible t live happily ever after. Yu just have t d it “ne day at a time”. Happiness yu see isn't sme reward that yu get at the end f yur jurney. Happiness isn't smething that depends n what life yu wn. Happiness is smething yu create in yur life chice by chice and day by day.
The truth is happiness cmes when yu lve. Lve is a gift frm Gd. It is lve that mends brken hearts. It is lve that heals grief. It is lve that gives us jy. Chse t “live happily ever after, ne day at a time”.

Smetimes buying grceries can be an expensive thing. We g in, thinking that we wn't be buying any big-expense item, and start picking up small items here and there, in fact, getting practically anything that cmes t mind. As we reach the check-ut cunter, we can't believe the check, But it's t late t d anything by then. Here are a few mney-saving tips t remember fr the next time yu g shpping fr grceries.
Being prepared matters a lt when it cmes t buying grceries. This means taking the truble t cme up with a list f things yu need. Lk arund the huse first and list dwn things as yu g alng. After yu have yur list, add up all the amunts and see if that's what yu want t spend. If nt, then crss ut sme items n the list.
Imprtantly: preparing a List is ne thing, but fllwing it t the letter is anther. Make sure that nce yu're in the supermarket, yu dn't pick up things that aren't n yur list. Remember, that's accurately why yu came up with the list in the first place.
Chsing the best and mst cst-effective stre arund is als imprtant. Cmpare prices at different places. Cmpare quality. Check ut the discunts that they are ffering. At first glance, the prices f gds may differ by an insignificant value, but adding them all up can burn a hle in yur pcket.
Here's anther tip frm my brther, Lenard. He ften eats at hme befre heading t the grcery. Of curse, yu knw why. Once yu get there, there are just s many delicius-lking and fine-smelling treats all ver the place that we can hardly resist.
Remember t use these tips t save mney when yu g t buy grceries.

In ur infrmatin-driven sciety, shaping ur wrldview thrugh the media is similar t frming an pinin abut smene slely based n a picture f their ft. While the media might nt deliberately deceive us, it ften fails t prvide a cmprehensive view f reality.
Cnsequently, the questin arises: Where, then, shall we get ur infrmatin frm if nt frm the media? Wh can we trust? Hw abut experts- peple wh devte their wrking lives t understanding their chsen slice f the wrld? Hwever, even experts can fall prey t the allure f versimplificatin, leading t the “single perspective instinct” that hampers (阻碍) ur ability t grasp the intricacies (错综复杂) f the wrld.
Simple ideas can be appealing because they ffer a sense f understanding and certainty. And it is easy t take ff dwn a slippery slpe, frm ne attentin-grabbing simple idea t a feeling that this idea beautifully explains, r is the beautiful slutin fr, lts f ther things. The wrld becmes simple that way.
Yet, when we embrace a singular cause r slutin fr all prblems, we risk versimplifying cmplex issues. Fr instance, champining the cncept f equality may lead us t view all prblems thrugh the lens f inequality and see resurce distributin as the sle panacea. Hwever, such rigidity prevents us frm seeing the multidimensinal nature f challenges and hinders true cmprehensin f reality. This “single perspective instinct” ultimately cluds ur judgment and restricts ur capacity t tackle cmplex issues effectively. Being always in favr f r always against any particular idea makes yu blind t infrmatin that desn’t fit yur perspective. This is usually a bad apprach if yu wuld like t understand reality.
Instead, cnstantly test yur favrite ideas fr weaknesses. Be humble abut the extent f yur expertise. Be curius abut new infrmatin that desn’t fit, and infrmatin frm ther fields. And rather than talking nly t peple wh agree with yu, r cllecting examples that fit yur ideas, cnsult peple wh cntradict yu, disagree with yu, and put frward different ideas as a great resurce fr understanding the wrld. If this means yu dn’t have time t frm s may pinins, s what?
Wuldn’t yu rather have few pinins that are right than many that are wrng?
32．What des the underlined wrd “allure” in Para.2 prbably mean?
A．Temptatin.B．Traditin.C．Cnvenience.D．Cnsequence.
33．Why are simple ideas appealing accrding t the passage?
A．They meet peple’s demand fr high efficiency.
B．They generate a sense f cmplete understanding.
C．They are raised and supprted by multiple experts.
D．They reflect the pinins f like-minded individuals.
34．What will the authr prbably agree with?
A．Simplifying matters releases energy fr human brains.
B．Cnstant tests n ur ideas help make up fr ur weakness.
C．A well-funded pinin cunts mre than many shallw nes.
D．Peple wh disagree with us ften have cmprehensive views.
35．Which f the fllwing can be the best title f the passage?
A．Embracing Disagreement: Refusing Overcmplexity
B．Simplifying Infrmatin: Enhancing Cmprehensin
C．Understanding Differences: Establishing Relatinships
D．Navigating Cmplexity: Challenging Oversimplificatin

If yu need a bench, chse ne that includes under-seat strage fr, say, sme magazines.(考虑多用途的每一件家具。买一张咖啡桌？买一个下面有储物抽屉的，或者用一个大篮子，上面放一个漂亮的盘子。如果你需要一个长凳，那就选一个座位下面有储物空间的，比如说，放一些杂志)”可知，“duble up”的目的是让家具产生出更多功能。故选D。
22．细节理解题。根据最后一段“A set f drawers beneath stairs can make use f therwise-wasted flr space especially fr articles nt, s ften used.(楼梯下面的一组抽屉可以利用原本浪费的地板空间，尤其是用来放不经常使用的物品)”可知，储存很少使用的物品的好方法是“顶层抽屉”。故选D。
23．推理判断题。根据第一段“Whether we live in an urban studi, r a mdest-size hme filled with peple, space in ur hmes can be hard t cme by.

24．细节理解题。根据第一段最后两句Then I realized that the ending f the bk was what I wanted fr her. I wanted her t “live happily ever after”. 然后我意识到这本书的结局正是我想要给她的。我希望她“从此过上幸福的生活”。可知，作者对女儿的愿望是“从此过上幸福的生活。”故选D。
25．细节理解题题。根据第二段中Still, deep in my heart I knew that this culdn't always be s.“然而，在我内心深处，我知道这并不总是如此。”由此可知，有时候，生活与我们背道而驰。故选C。
26．推理判断题。根据第三段中Happiness isn't smething that depends n what life yu wn. Happiness is smething yu create in yur life chice by chice and day by day.“幸福不是取决于你拥有什么样的生活。幸福是你在生活中日复一日的选择中创造出来的东西。”由此判断出，以作者看来，“幸福靠自己创造”。故选B。
27．目的意图题。根据最后一段The truth is happiness cmes when yu lve. Lve is a gift frm Gd. It is lve that mends brken hearts. It is lve that heals grief. It is lve that gives us jy. Chse t “live happily ever after, ne day at a time”. 事实是，当你爱的时候，幸福就来了。爱是上帝的礼物。只有爱才能修补破碎的心。只有爱才能治愈悲伤。是爱给了我们快乐。选择“从此过上幸福的生活，过好每一天”。由此可知，作者的目的是“展示爱的重要性。”故选A。
28．B 29．C 30．C 31．D
28．细节理解题。根据第一段“We g in, thinking that we wn't be buying any big expense item, and start picking up small items here and there, in fact, getting practically anything that cmes t mind. As we reach the check-ut cunter, we can't believe the check.”（我们进去的时候，以为我们不会买任何大的昂贵的东西，然后开始在这里和那里拿小的东西，事实上，几乎是任何想到的东西。当我们走到收银台时，我们简直不敢相信购物小票。）可知，在收银台结账时，我们发现自己的账单数距大，我们意识到自己花了很多钱，感到很惊讶。故选B项。
29．细节理解题。根据第二段“Lk arund the huse first and list dwn things as yu g alng. After yu have yur list, add up all the amunts and see if that's what yu want t spend.”（先环视一下房子，把要买的东西列出清单。在你有了你的清单之后，把所有的数额加起来，看看这是不是你想要的。）可知，在去购物之前应该根据自己的预算列一个清单。故选C项。
30．词义猜测题。根据画线短语前“Imprtantly: preparing a list is ne thing, but fllwing it...”（重要的是:准备清单是一回事，但要按照清单去做……）及画线短语后“Make sure that nce yu' re in the supermarket, yu dn’t pick up things that aren't n yur list.”（确保一旦你进入超市，你不会买清单上没有的东西。）可推断，画线短语所在句的句意是“值得一提的一点是，准备购物清单是一件事，严格按照购物清单采购是另外一件事”。由此可猜测，画线短语的意思与Strictly的意思最为接近。故选C项。
31．推理判断题。根据第五段“Here's anther tip frm my brther, Lenard. He ften eats at hme befre heading t the grcery.”（这是我弟弟莱纳德给的另一个建议。他经常在去杂货店之前在家吃饭。）可知，Lenard在购物前会在家里吃饭，是为了避免受到购物场所的食物的诱惑，从而避免盲目消费。由此可推断，文章提到Lenard是为了介绍一种避免盲目消费的方法——在家里吃饭之后再去购物。故选D项。
32．A 33．B 34．C 35．D
32．词义猜测题。根据第二段“leading t the “single perspective instinct” that hampers(阻碍)ur ability t grasp the intricacies f the wrld. (导致“单一视角本能”， 阻碍我们掌握世界的复杂性)”可知，专家受到过度简化的allure，也会导致单一视觉，不能掌握世界的复杂性，因此推断此处表示受到了过度简化的诱惑，allure在这里指的是“诱惑”。故选A。
33．细节理解题。根据第三段的“Simple ideas can be appealing because they ffer a sense f understanding and certainty. (简单的想法可能很有吸引力，因为它们提供了一种理解和确定性)”可知，简单的想法具有吸引力是因为它们产生一种完全理解的感觉。故选B。
34．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Instead, cnstantly test yur favrite ideas fr weaknesses. Be humble abut the extent f yur expertise. Be curius abut new infrmatin that desn’t fit, and infrmatin frm ther fields. And rather than talking nly t peple wh agree with yu, r cllecting examples that fit yur ideas, cnsult peple wh cntradict yu, disagree with yu, and put frward different ideas as a great resurce fr understanding the wrld.(相反，要不断测试你最喜欢的想法的弱点。对自己的专业知识要谦虚。对不合适的新信息和来自其他领域的信息保持好奇。而不是只与那些同意你的人交谈，或者收集符合你想法的例子，咨询那些反驳你、不同意你的人，并提出不同想法的人，作为理解世界的重要资源)”可推断，作者认为要不断测试自己的想法，要谦虚，要保持好奇，不要只是与同意自己观点的人交谈，要与那些与持有与自己不同观点的人交流，接受不同的观点，作为理解世界的重要资源。因此推断作者认为理由充分的观点比肤浅的观点更有价值。故选C。
35．主旨大意题。根据第一段内容“In ur infrmatin-driven sciety, shaping ur wrldview thrugh the media is similar t frming an pinin abut smene slely based n a picture f their ft. While the media might nt deliberately deceive us, it ften fails t prvide a cmprehensive view f reality.(在我们这个信息驱动的社会中，通过媒体塑造我们的世界观就像仅仅根据一个人的脚的照片来形成对他们的看法一样，它经常无法提供全面的现实视角)”，第二段的“Hwever, even experts can fall prey t the allure f versimplificatin, leading t the “single perspective instinct” that hampers(阻碍)ur ability t grasp the intricacies f the wrld.(然而，即使是专家也会受到过度简化的诱惑，导致“单一视角本能”，阻碍我们掌握世界的复杂性)”以及倒数第三的“And rather than talking nly t peple wh agree with yu, r cllecting examples that fit yur ideas, cnsult peple wh cntradict yu, disagree with yu, and put frward different ideas as a great resurce fr understanding the wrld. (与其只与那些同意你的人交谈，或者收集符合你想法的例子，不如咨询那些反驳你、不同意你的人，并提出不同想法的人，作为理解世界的重要资源)”以及全文内容可知，本文作者主要提出“单一视角本能”最终会影响我们的判断力，限制我们有效解决复杂问题的能力，我们应该接受不同的观点，作为理解世界的重要资源。因此D项“驾驭复杂性:挑战过度简化”为最佳标题。故选D。
36．B 37．F 38．D 39．E 40．A
