A
BEIJING (News Agency) — Children in China today spend five times more money than their parents did when they were young.
So what are all these children buying? The list is long: iPads, cell phones and jeans are typical items that children “have to” buy. And they will do anything to get them. They ask their parents over and over until they buy them.
But parents also need to take the blame(责备) for spending so much money. They want their children to have the best things. They end up competing with other parents over whether their children have the latest products.
So it’s no wonder children find it hard to learn the importance of saving money rather than spending it all the time.
And it’s hard to save when companies use advertising (打广告)and clever slogans (口号) to encourage young people to buy their products. They even encourage children to keep asking their parents for something until they get it.
Today, you don’t even need to have money in order to buy something. Banks give out credit cards and loans (贷款) all the time, so people are saving less and less. We are used to carrying lots of money around. And if you don’t have much, you can always borrow some.
But this hasn’t always been the case. When our grandparents were young, there was very little money and everyone had to save hard for things they bought. They only bought things they needed, not things they just wanted.
The older generation made the wise expression, “Money doesn’t grow on trees. ” This is as true now as it was 50 years ago. They give money a great deal of value. And we all have a lot to learn from them.
1. The text mainly tells us ______.
A. differences between teenagers and their parents
B. what is popular among children at the moment
C. how to spend money wisely
D. children’s high consumption(消费) of products
【答案】D
【解析】本题考查主旨大意题。第一段表明了本文主题——现在中国的孩子们花钱是父辈花钱的5倍, 下文说明了他们购买的东西和导致此现象的原因。所以本文主要内容是讲述孩子们对产品的高消费问题, 故选D项。
2. Parents are to blame for children’s spending a lot of money because ______.
A. they don’t give children positive guidance in consumption
B. they offer to buy the latest fashions for their children
C. they always give children too much pocket money
D. their consumption habits set a bad example to children
【答案】B
【解析】本题考查细节理解题。根据第三段But parents also need to take the blame for spending so much money. They want their children to have the best things. 可知父母总是想给孩子买最好的东西, 造成了孩子的高消费问题, 所以父母也该受到责备。故选B项。
3. The saying “Money doesn’t grow on trees. ” in the last paragraph seems to tell us that _____.
A. the older generation understood how to teach children to save
B. in the past, people attached more importance to saving money
C. money has a great deal of value both in the past and at present
D. money is not easily earned and we should be careful when we spend it
【答案】D
【解析】 本题考查推理判断题。根据When our grandparents were young, there was very little money and everyone had to save hard for things they bought. They only bought things they needed, not things they just wanted. 可知祖辈们都是为买东西攒钱, 他们只买需要的东西, 而不是想要的东西。所以“Money doesn’t grow on trees. ”告诉我们挣钱不容易, 花钱要节省。故选D项。
B
When you set a foot outside of your door to drop litter, go to a social event or go for a walk, thoughts like "I hope I don't see anyone I know" or " please don't talk to me" may run through your mind. I've also said such things to myself. Sometimes the last thing you want to do is to talk with someone, especially someone new.
Why do we go out of our ways to avoid people? Do we think meeting new people is a waste of time? Or are we just lazy, thinking that meeting someone new really is a trouble?
Communication is the key to life. We have been told that many times. Take the past generations, like our parents, for example. They seem to take full advantage of that whole "communication" idea because they grew up talking face to face while Generation Y grew up staring at screens. We spend hours of our days sitting on Facebook. We send messages to our friends and think about all of the things we want to say to certain people.
Nowadays, we are so caught up in our little circle of friends—our comfort zone. We love it that they laugh at our jokes, understand our feelings and can read our minds. Most importantly, they know when we want to be alone. They just get us.
Holding a conversation with someone new means agreeing with things that you don't actually believe and being someone you think they want you to be—it is, as I said before, a trouble. It takes so much energy, and at some point, it is too tiring.
But meeting new people is important. Life is too short, so meet all the people you can meet, and make every effort to go out and laugh. Remember, every "hello" leads to a smile—and a smile is worth a lot.
4.What do we learn about the author?
A. He likes to be alone.
B. He feels stressed out lately.
C. He's active in attending social events.
D. He's afraid of talking to others at times.
【答案】D
【解析】本题考查细节理解题。根据第一段中的I've also said such things to myself. Sometimes the last thing you want to do is to talk with someone, especially someone new. （我也对自己说过这样的话。有时候你最不想做的事情就是和别人交谈，尤其是和某个新认识的人。）可知，作者有时害怕和别人说话。故选D项。
5.What's the problem of Generation Y in the author's eyes?
A. They rely on the Internet to socialize.
B. They are less confident about themselves.
C. They have difficulty in communicating.
D. They are unwilling to make new friends.
【答案】A
【解析】本题考查细节理解题。根据第三段中的we spend hours of our days sitting on Facebook. We send messages to our friends and think about all of the things we want to say to certain people. （我们每天花几个小时坐着刷“脸书”。我们给我们的朋友发信息，思考所有我们想对某些人说的事情。）可推断出，在作者看来，年轻一代的问题是他们依靠互联网进行社交活动。故选A项。
6.Why do many young people avoid meeting new people?
A. They think it is troublesome.
B. They are busy with their study.
C. They fear to disappoint their old friends.
D. They want to take time to do meaningful work.
【答案】A
【解析】本题考查判断推理题。根据倒数第二段Holding a conversation with someone new means agreeing with things that you don’t actually believe and being someone you think they want you to be — it is, as I said before, a trouble. It takes up so much energy, and at some point or another, it is too tiring.（和新认识的人交谈意味着同意你不相信的事情，成为他们希望你成为的人——就像我之前说的，这是一个麻烦。它需要如此多的精力，在某些时候，它太累人了。）可知许多年轻人不愿结识新朋友是因为他们认为这很麻烦。故选A项。
7.Why does the author write the text?
A. To tell about the importance of friends.
B. To give tips on how to meet new people.
C. To encourage people to meet new people.
D. To introduce the disadvantages of Generation Y.
【答案】C
【解析】 本题考查判断推理题。根据最后一段But meeting new people is important. Life is too short, so meet all the people you can meet, make the effort to go out and laugh. Remember, Every “hello” leads to a smile — and a smile is worth a lot.（但是认识新人是很重要的。生命太短暂，所以遇到所有你能遇到的人，努力走出去笑一笑。记住，每个“你好”都能带来一个微笑——而一个微笑是很有价值的。）由此推断出，作者写这篇文章是为了鼓励人们结识新人。故选C项。
C
Around this time of year when the weather gets cooler in Arkansas, there are a lot of homeless people, as well as people with different situations who just need help.
Oftentimes Our family serves at a soup kitchen where they give out bags of food to needy families in our area. And we 1l help put those bags of food together and hand them out, among other things.
There are a lot of reasons why serving the community is important to me, but one of them has to do with my father. My grandfather died when my father was 4 years old and my grandmother had four kids all under the age of 5. all born pretty close together. That was a time when things were so bad in the country.

The year 2020 is stormy, but rainbows are everywhere. Across the COVID-19 stricken world, bright and happy rainbows have become window colors and choices on store shelves.
The rainbows started appearing all over Italy within a few days of schools closing for the first lockdown, back in March. Crayon drawings were taped to the inside of windows; poster-painted banners hung from balconies.
When the pandemic came to Britain, the rainbows came too, with the Italian message of positivity morphing into thanks to the NHS. Then, during the months of lockdown, the rainbows moved inside our homes, with a craze for arranging books by colour in pursuit of an aesthetically (审美地) pleasant Zoom background.
In April this year, the largest cabin hospital in the Philippines was completed, divided into six wards of different colors. The colors of the rainbow were not only pleasing to the eye, but also conveying a positive and optimistic spirit to patients.
The rainbow is to 2020 what "keep calm and carry on" was to 1939. And just as "keep calm and carry on" began as a public information campaign but became a tea towel industry, what began as a gesture of hope is now a big business. John Lewis reports that an ￡8 rainbow bauble is an early festive bestseller. Tracksuit enthusiasts are sitting out the second lockdown in Olivia Rubinˈs ￡150 rainbow stripe tracksuits.
Optimism is the hottest commodity of 2020. But some people are irritated by the way consumer culture commodities the human experience, packaging our hopes and dreams as if they were just another product in the warehouse (仓库). But the fashion editor-turned-designer JJ Martin says, "Itˈs great to have the colourful dress, but the magic of a rainbow isnˈt really about the pot of gold. What actually counts is the flame you turn on inside yourself."
12. Where might people see the rainbow?
A. In the study with the books sorted by color.
B. In the Italian message of thanks to the NHS.
C. On the banners of the schools under lockdown.
D. On the outside of Britainˈs largest cabin hospital.
【答案】A
【解析】根据第三段中Then, during the months of lockdown, the rainbows moved inside our homes, with a craze for arranging books by colour in pursuit of an aesthetically (审美地) pleasant Zoom background.可推知，在按颜色分类的书房中，人们可能会看到彩虹。故选A项。
13. What does the underlined word "irritated" in Paragraph 6 probably mean?
A. Embarrassed. B. Fascinated. C. Challenged. D. Angered.
【答案】D
【解析】根据最后一段中“packaging our hopes and dreams as if they were just another product in the warehouse (仓库).（将我们的希望和梦想包装得好像它们只是仓库里的另一件产品）”，以及Optimism is the hottest commodity of 2020.与下文的转折关系可知，划线词所在句表示“但有些人对消费文化将人类体验商品化的方式感到恼火。”由此可知，irritated的意思是“被激怒”，故选D项。
14. What do the campaigns in 1939 and in 2020 have in common?
A. They came to the same end.
B. They helped people out of the lockdown.
C. They conveyed thanks to the medical staff.
D. They displayed a feature of the towel industry.
【答案】A
【解析】根据倒数第二段...And just as "keep calm and carry on" began as a public information campaign but became a tea towel industry, what began as a gesture of hope is now a big business.（彩虹之于2020年，就像《保持冷静，坚持下去》之于1939年。正如“保持冷静，坚持下去”一开始是一场公共信息宣传运动，但后来变成了茶巾行业一样，一开始只是一种希望的姿态，现在却成了一门大生意。）可推知，1939年和2020年的运动最终都变成了商业行为。故选A项。
15. What can we infer from what JJ Martin said?
A. The relaxation of mind is equal to wealth.
B. The significance of the rainbow is to lift people up.
C. The tracksuits of Olivia Rubin are to be mass-produced.
D. The commercialization of feelings is somewhat reasonable.
【答案】B
【解析】根据最后一段中"It's great to have the colourful dress, but the magic of a rainbow isn't really about the pot of gold. What actually counts is the flame you turn on inside yourself."可推知，彩虹的意义在于给人以希望，燃起人们内心的火焰，故选B项。

【答案】
Can Money Buy Happiness?
Different people have different opinions. Some think yes, while others hold the opposite.
It is true that with enough money one can buy all the things one wants, and live a life of comfort and security. However, it is equally true that a lack of money causes great distress. It is a common view that money is the root of all evil. The pursuit of money drives many people to cheat and steal. In some places there is nothing that cannot be bought with money, resulting in corrupt societies where everybody is miserable.
So, money does not necessarily mean happiness. It all depends on how it is used. If we make honest and sensible use of money, it can be a stepping-stone to happiness. Although money cannot buy happiness, it can make happiness possible if it is employed sensibly.

第二节 （满分25分）
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要．
Cashless Society， Good or Evil？
Can we do without cash？ Since 2015， digital payments in the UK have outnumbered those
in cash， and we are invited by the great and the good to cheer this on． The fully cashless era will be magnificently convenient， they say， with goods delivered to the door； no fumbling for change
just tap and go． Some London branches of several chains don't accept cash any more． Businesses and banks want to abolish cash because they have fears of the black market and tax avoidance．Yet we should worry about the death of cash， because physical money possesses worth far above its
face value．
Actual physical money， in the hand， teaches us its true value． With cash， what you see is what you have．Exchanging it demands personal engagement and oils the wheels of a community． In a shop， the exchange of cash takes time： it involves eye meeting eye． By contrast， a cashless society is a joyless one． A digital touch payment is done in a flash： no human interaction
necessary． Digital self-service is cold when you are staring silently at your electronic device．
Besides， cash is a great leveler（使人人平等的事）． Every penny，pound and banknote sits
the same in every hand， identical in value and appearance． Moreover， a pocketful of change is
like a gallery or a museum． The roses，ostrich feathers and lions on the coins reveal the history that shaped the United Kingdom． It is really crazy to give up on cash．
We are told digital payment is a welcome liberation from the shackles（束缚）of cash， but digital payments actually restrict the reach of money． It requires a combination of factors like Wi-Fi，battery power and phones． Worse still，the lack of cash means even the most
fundamental aspects of etiquette（礼仪）are under pressure． Tipping in restaurants is changing
beyond recognition． In simpler times， any amount of cash，warmly generous or pointedly small
could be left as a reward． In the digital age， any extra money transferred to the restaurant account may never reach the staff pocket．
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Though digital payments overtook cash for its unparalleled convenience， physical money should be encouraged，for it brings about human interaction and is of equal value in different hands．Moreover，its beautiful design tells the history．Digital payment relies on devices and makes people less polite．People are less willing to leave tips as they seldom reach the restaurant staff．
【解析】
【高分句型一】
Though digital payments overtook cash for its unparalleled convenience， physical money should be encouraged， for it brings about human interaction and is of equal value in different hands．
译文：虽然数字支付以其无与伦比的便利性取代了现金，但应该鼓励实物货币，因为它会带来人与人之间的互动，并且在不同的人手中具有同等的价值。
分析：though引导让步状语从句，for表示原因。
【高分句型二】People are less willing to leave tips as they seldom reach the restaurant staff．
译文：人们不太愿意留下小费，因为他们很少联系到餐厅的工作人员．
分析：使用be less willing to do sth不太愿意做某事。

第一部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）
第一节 （共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
BEIJING (News Agency) — Children in China today spend five times more money than their parents did when they were young.
So what are all these children buying? The list is long: iPads, cell phones and jeans are typical items that children “have to” buy. And they will do anything to get them. They ask their parents over and over until they buy them.
But parents also need to take the blame(责备) for spending so much money. They want their children to have the best things. They end up competing with other parents over whether their children have the latest products.
So it’s no wonder children find it hard to learn the importance of saving money rather than spending it all the time.
And it’s hard to save when companies use advertising (打广告)and clever slogans (口号) to encourage young people to buy their products. They even encourage children to keep asking their parents for something until they get it.
Today, you don’t even need to have money in order to buy something. Banks give out credit cards and loans (贷款) all the time, so people are saving less and less. We are used to carrying lots of money around. And if you don’t have much, you can always borrow some.
But this hasn’t always been the case. When our grandparents were young, there was very little money and everyone had to save hard for things they bought. They only bought things they needed, not things they just wanted.
The older generation made the wise expression, “Money doesn’t grow on trees. ” This is as true now as it was 50 years ago. They give money a great deal of value. And we all have a lot to learn from them.
1. The text mainly tells us ______.
A. differences between teenagers and their parents
B. what is popular among children at the moment
C. how to spend money wisely
D. children’s high consumption(消费) of products
【答案】D
【解析】本题考查主旨大意题。第一段表明了本文主题——现在中国的孩子们花钱是父辈花钱的5倍, 下文说明了他们购买的东西和导致此现象的原因。所以本文主要内容是讲述孩子们对产品的高消费问题, 故选D项。
2. Parents are to blame for children’s spending a lot of money because ______.
A. they don’t give children positive guidance in consumption
B. they offer to buy the latest fashions for their children
C. they always give children too much pocket money
D. their consumption habits set a bad example to children
【答案】B
【解析】本题考查细节理解题。根据第三段But parents also need to take the blame for spending so much money. They want their children to have the best things. 可知父母总是想给孩子买最好的东西, 造成了孩子的高消费问题, 所以父母也该受到责备。故选B项。
3. The saying “Money doesn’t grow on trees. ” in the last paragraph seems to tell us that _____.
A. the older generation understood how to teach children to save
B. in the past, people attached more importance to saving money
C. money has a great deal of value both in the past and at present
D. money is not easily earned and we should be careful when we spend it
【答案】D
【解析】 本题考查推理判断题。根据When our grandparents were young, there was very little money and everyone had to save hard for things they bought. They only bought things they needed, not things they just wanted. 可知祖辈们都是为买东西攒钱, 他们只买需要的东西, 而不是想要的东西。所以“Money doesn’t grow on trees. ”告诉我们挣钱不容易, 花钱要节省。故选D项。
B
When you set a foot outside of your door to drop litter, go to a social event or go for a walk, thoughts like "I hope I don't see anyone I know" or " please don't talk to me" may run through your mind. I've also said such things to myself. Sometimes the last thing you want to do is to talk with someone, especially someone new.
Why do we go out of our ways to avoid people? Do we think meeting new people is a waste of time? Or are we just lazy, thinking that meeting someone new really is a trouble?
Communication is the key to life. We have been told that many times. Take the past generations, like our parents, for example. They seem to take full advantage of that whole "communication" idea because they grew up talking face to face while Generation Y grew up staring at screens. We spend hours of our days sitting on Facebook. We send messages to our friends and think about all of the things we want to say to certain people.
Nowadays, we are so caught up in our little circle of friends—our comfort zone. We love it that they laugh at our jokes, understand our feelings and can read our minds. Most importantly, they know when we want to be alone. They just get us.
Holding a conversation with someone new means agreeing with things that you don't actually believe and being someone you think they want you to be—it is, as I said before, a trouble. It takes so much energy, and at some point, it is too tiring.
But meeting new people is important. Life is too short, so meet all the people you can meet, and make every effort to go out and laugh. Remember, every "hello" leads to a smile—and a smile is worth a lot.
4.What do we learn about the author?
A. He likes to be alone.
B. He feels stressed out lately.
C. He's active in attending social events.
D. He's afraid of talking to others at times.
【答案】D
【解析】本题考查细节理解题。根据第一段中的I've also said such things to myself. Sometimes the last thing you want to do is to talk with someone, especially someone new. （我也对自己说过这样的话。有时候你最不想做的事情就是和别人交谈，尤其是和某个新认识的人。）可知，作者有时害怕和别人说话。故选D项。
5.What's the problem of Generation Y in the author's eyes?
A. They rely on the Internet to socialize.
B. They are less confident about themselves.
C. They have difficulty in communicating.
D. They are unwilling to make new friends.
【答案】A
【解析】本题考查细节理解题。根据第三段中的we spend hours of our days sitting on Facebook. We send messages to our friends and think about all of the things we want to say to certain people. （我们每天花几个小时坐着刷“脸书”。我们给我们的朋友发信息，思考所有我们想对某些人说的事情。）可推断出，在作者看来，年轻一代的问题是他们依靠互联网进行社交活动。故选A项。
6.Why do many young people avoid meeting new people?
A. They think it is troublesome.
B. They are busy with their study.
C. They fear to disappoint their old friends.
D. They want to take time to do meaningful work.
【答案】A
【解析】本题考查判断推理题。根据倒数第二段Holding a conversation with someone new means agreeing with things that you don’t actually believe and being someone you think they want you to be — it is, as I said before, a trouble. It takes up so much energy, and at some point or another, it is too tiring.（和新认识的人交谈意味着同意你不相信的事情，成为他们希望你成为的人——就像我之前说的，这是一个麻烦。它需要如此多的精力，在某些时候，它太累人了。）可知许多年轻人不愿结识新朋友是因为他们认为这很麻烦。故选A项。
7.Why does the author write the text?
A. To tell about the importance of friends.
B. To give tips on how to meet new people.
C. To encourage people to meet new people.
D. To introduce the disadvantages of Generation Y.
【答案】C
【解析】 本题考查判断推理题。根据最后一段But meeting new people is important. Life is too short, so meet all the people you can meet, make the effort to go out and laugh. Remember, Every “hello” leads to a smile — and a smile is worth a lot.（但是认识新人是很重要的。生命太短暂，所以遇到所有你能遇到的人，努力走出去笑一笑。记住，每个“你好”都能带来一个微笑——而一个微笑是很有价值的。）由此推断出，作者写这篇文章是为了鼓励人们结识新人。故选C项。
C

The year 2020 is stormy, but rainbows are everywhere. Across the COVID-19 stricken world, bright and happy rainbows have become window colors and choices on store shelves.
The rainbows started appearing all over Italy within a few days of schools closing for the first lockdown, back in March. Crayon drawings were taped to the inside of windows; poster-painted banners hung from balconies.
When the pandemic came to Britain, the rainbows came too, with the Italian message of positivity morphing into thanks to the NHS. Then, during the months of lockdown, the rainbows moved inside our homes, with a craze for arranging books by colour in pursuit of an aesthetically (审美地) pleasant Zoom background.
In April this year, the largest cabin hospital in the Philippines was completed, divided into six wards of different colors. The colors of the rainbow were not only pleasing to the eye, but also conveying a positive and optimistic spirit to patients.
The rainbow is to 2020 what "keep calm and carry on" was to 1939. And just as "keep calm and carry on" began as a public information campaign but became a tea towel industry, what began as a gesture of hope is now a big business. John Lewis reports that an ￡8 rainbow bauble is an early festive bestseller. Tracksuit enthusiasts are sitting out the second lockdown in Olivia Rubinˈs ￡150 rainbow stripe tracksuits.
Optimism is the hottest commodity of 2020. But some people are irritated by the way consumer culture commodities the human experience, packaging our hopes and dreams as if they were just another product in the warehouse (仓库). But the fashion editor-turned-designer JJ Martin says, "Itˈs great to have the colourful dress, but the magic of a rainbow isnˈt really about the pot of gold. What actually counts is the flame you turn on inside yourself."
12. Where might people see the rainbow?
A. In the study with the books sorted by color.
B. In the Italian message of thanks to the NHS.
C. On the banners of the schools under lockdown.
D. On the outside of Britainˈs largest cabin hospital.
【答案】A
【解析】根据第三段中Then, during the months of lockdown, the rainbows moved inside our homes, with a craze for arranging books by colour in pursuit of an aesthetically (审美地) pleasant Zoom background.可推知，在按颜色分类的书房中，人们可能会看到彩虹。故选A项。
13. What does the underlined word "irritated" in Paragraph 6 probably mean?
A. Embarrassed. B. Fascinated. C. Challenged. D. Angered.
【答案】D
【解析】根据最后一段中“packaging our hopes and dreams as if they were just another product in the warehouse (仓库).（将我们的希望和梦想包装得好像它们只是仓库里的另一件产品）”，以及Optimism is the hottest commodity of 2020.与下文的转折关系可知，划线词所在句表示“但有些人对消费文化将人类体验商品化的方式感到恼火。”由此可知，irritated的意思是“被激怒”，故选D项。
14. What do the campaigns in 1939 and in 2020 have in common?
A. They came to the same end.
B. They helped people out of the lockdown.
C. They conveyed thanks to the medical staff.
D. They displayed a feature of the towel industry.
【答案】A
【解析】根据倒数第二段...And just as "keep calm and carry on" began as a public information campaign but became a tea towel industry, what began as a gesture of hope is now a big business.（彩虹之于2020年，就像《保持冷静，坚持下去》之于1939年。正如“保持冷静，坚持下去”一开始是一场公共信息宣传运动，但后来变成了茶巾行业一样，一开始只是一种希望的姿态，现在却成了一门大生意。）可推知，1939年和2020年的运动最终都变成了商业行为。故选A项。
15. What can we infer from what JJ Martin said?
A. The relaxation of mind is equal to wealth.
B. The significance of the rainbow is to lift people up.
C. The tracksuits of Olivia Rubin are to be mass-produced.
D. The commercialization of feelings is somewhat reasonable.
【答案】B
【解析】根据最后一段中"It's great to have the colourful dress, but the magic of a rainbow isn't really about the pot of gold. What actually counts is the flame you turn on inside yourself."可推知，彩虹的意义在于给人以希望，燃起人们内心的火焰，故选B项。

The boy (44) (manage) to keep his self-respect and chose to make a living on his own. I couldn't help (45) (show) respect for the boy.
36.【答案】which
【解析】本题考查定语从句题。句意：有一天，我在候车室等我的火车，在那儿我看到了大量的人。“in which I saw large crowds of people”是“介词＋关系代词”引导的定语从句，相当于where.故填which.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Can Money Buy Happiness?
Different people have different opinions. Some think yes, while others hold the opposite.
It is true that with enough money one can buy all the things one wants, and live a life of comfort and security. However, it is equally true that a lack of money causes great distress. It is a common view that money is the root of all evil. The pursuit of money drives many people to cheat and steal. In some places there is nothing that cannot be bought with money, resulting in corrupt societies where everybody is miserable.
So, money does not necessarily mean happiness. It all depends on how it is used. If we make honest and sensible use of money, it can be a stepping-stone to happiness. Although money cannot buy happiness, it can make happiness possible if it is employed sensibly.

第二节 （满分25分）
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要．
Cashless Society， Good or Evil？
Can we do without cash？ Since 2015， digital payments in the UK have outnumbered those
in cash， and we are invited by the great and the good to cheer this on． The fully cashless era will be magnificently convenient， they say， with goods delivered to the door； no fumbling for change
just tap and go． Some London branches of several chains don't accept cash any more． Businesses and banks want to abolish cash because they have fears of the black market and tax avoidance．Yet we should worry about the death of cash， because physical money possesses worth far above its
face value．
Actual physical money， in the hand， teaches us its true value． With cash， what you see is what you have．Exchanging it demands personal engagement and oils the wheels of a community． In a shop， the exchange of cash takes time： it involves eye meeting eye． By contrast， a cashless society is a joyless one． A digital touch payment is done in a flash： no human interaction
necessary． Digital self-service is cold when you are staring silently at your electronic device．
Besides， cash is a great leveler（使人人平等的事）． Every penny，pound and banknote sits
the same in every hand， identical in value and appearance． Moreover， a pocketful of change is
like a gallery or a museum． The roses，ostrich feathers and lions on the coins reveal the history that shaped the United Kingdom． It is really crazy to give up on cash．
We are told digital payment is a welcome liberation from the shackles（束缚）of cash， but digital payments actually restrict the reach of money． It requires a combination of factors like Wi-Fi，battery power and phones． Worse still，the lack of cash means even the most
fundamental aspects of etiquette（礼仪）are under pressure． Tipping in restaurants is changing
beyond recognition． In simpler times， any amount of cash，warmly generous or pointedly small
could be left as a reward． In the digital age， any extra money transferred to the restaurant account may never reach the staff pocket．
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Though digital payments overtook cash for its unparalleled convenience， physical money should be encouraged，for it brings about human interaction and is of equal value in different hands．Moreover，its beautiful design tells the history．Digital payment relies on devices and makes people less polite．People are less willing to leave tips as they seldom reach the restaurant staff．
【解析】
【高分句型一】
Though digital payments overtook cash for its unparalleled convenience， physical money should be encouraged， for it brings about human interaction and is of equal value in different hands．
译文：虽然数字支付以其无与伦比的便利性取代了现金，但应该鼓励实物货币，因为它会带来人与人之间的互动，并且在不同的人手中具有同等的价值。
分析：though引导让步状语从句，for表示原因。
【高分句型二】People are less willing to leave tips as they seldom reach the restaurant staff．
译文：人们不太愿意留下小费，因为他们很少联系到餐厅的工作人员．
分析：使用be less willing to do sth不太愿意做某事。
