Dear Teachers and Parents,
This June, during Financial Literacy Month, we have some to share.
In 2015, a free online financial education course named FutureSmart was introduced to middle school students,
specifically targeting this group at a time in their lives when financial habits take hold and grow.
Fast forward to today, FutureSmart, available in English and Spanish, has reached over 13,000 schools across
all 50 states. More than two million students have completed the course, with almost half coming from low-to-moderate income families.
But we aren’t stopping there. We promise to reach four million more students by the end of 2025.
Why? Because this moment calls for brave action. Never before have money management and investment
decisions been so easy to conduct at any time or place through the use of a smartphone. It is time to offer students
more critical financial literacy education to encourage them to make good financial decisions on a daily basis as they
make their way through a complex world.
From weighing opportunity costs to delaying instant satisfaction for long-term financial gain, FutureSmart
educates our youth using hands-on simulations (模拟) to introduce concepts like daily financial decisions and the
rewards of long-term planning. Teaching young learners how to build solid financial foundations is an important step
in building financially healthy communities.
Although our work is far from complete, we know that FutureSmart works. And it works exceptionally well.
In the largest study of its kind, supported by the MassMutual Foundation and EVERFI, the University of
Massachusetts Donahue Institute (UMDI) recently concluded that 90% of students saw a statistically significant and
educationally meaningful increase in knowledge after taking the FutureSmart course.
What’s more, these results were consistent across all student demographics including race, age, gender, school
year, and socioeconomic status.
We have a long way to go to reach every single middle school student, but we welcome the challenge. Together,
our teams have started a movement to provide equal access to financial education, and we invite others to join us.
Visit getfuturesmart. com to learn more and see how you can bring FutureSmart to the young people in your
life.
MICHAEL FANNING RAY MARTINEZ
Head of MassMutual US President and Co-Founder of EVERFI

A few days ago, my husband, Russ, and I lost our house of 28 years to a California wild fire.
On that night, we had to leave our house and sleep in the back seat of our Ford. The next morning, we had to
drive three and a half hours to find a hotel that had an available room. Only later, in the local newspaper, did we seephotographs of the destruction. Our house had been consumed by the fire along with most of our neighborhood.
How are we going to rebuild after this? I thought, rounding a corner in the sidewalk on my walk back to the
hotel. Is it even possible?
I noticed something up ahead — a pair of nickels, shining like precious jewels. They were just nickels, but they
somehow felt special. I bent down and picked them up. If these were lucky coins, I could use all the luck I could
get.
A few days later, I made a trip to the store to buy essentials. The enormous task of replacing everything we’d
lost put a heavy weight on me. I was about to leave when I felt the urge to stop and turn my head to the right. I could
hardly believe it — there on a shelf, was a nickel! Okay, maybe this is more than luck, I thought and put the nickel
in my pocket.
I told myself that I had found the nickels just by chance. Then I found one next to my plate at a restaurant — on
Thanksgiving, no less, when I was missing our house more than ever. It seemed that a nickel appeared whenever my
spirits plummeted.
Whenever I reached my breaking point, I’d find another nickel. In the grass at the park, or near the tire of my
car in a parking lot. Once, my change for a quick lunch was given entirely in nickels. “I’m sorry,” the cashier said.
“It’s all we have.”
It’s all I needed!
One day, I was sitting at the desk when my phone rang. It was a real-estate agent I’d been working with.
“I have a new listing,” she said.
,
“When can we see it?” A few hours later Russ and I were following the agent down the driveway toward the
house. I didn’t think long. Because there, in the driveway, …
24. After the wild fire, the couple ________.
A. lived in their car for one night
B. took some photos of the destruction
C. could hardly afford their Thanksgiving dinner
D. saved precious items from the burned down house
25. What did the found nickels mean to the author?A. Luck for the foreseeable future. B. Hope during challenging times.
C. Signs of a huge fortune to come. D. Reminders of what had happened.
26. Which would be the best ending for the passage?
A. I spotted a flash of silver in the sun, two nickels, both heads up.
B. I found an old nickel, which seemed to tell a story from the past.
C. I saw a mysterious locked box, and thought perhaps it was full of nickels.
D. I looked up and imagined something on a cloud, a giant nickel, just for me.
【答案】24. A 25. B 26. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述作者住了28年的房子被大火摧毁，住在外面的酒店。偶然捡到2枚
镍币，后来作者发现每当作者情绪低落的时候就会出现镍币的故事。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“On that night, we had to leave our house and sleep in the back seat of our Ford. (那天
晚上，我们不得不离开家，睡在我们的福特汽车后座上。)”可知野火过后，这对夫妇在他们的车里住了一

were just nickels, but they somehow felt special. I bent down and picked them up. If these were lucky coins, I could
use all the luck I could get. (我注意到前面有什么东西——一对五分镍币，像珍贵的珠宝一样闪闪发光。它们
只是五分硬币，但不知何故，它们让人感觉很特别。我弯下腰把它们捡起来。如果这些是幸运硬币，我可
以用我能得到的所有运气。)”以及第六段“It seemed that a nickel appeared whenever my spirits plummeted. (似
乎每当我情绪低落时，就会出现一枚镍币。)”可推知发现镍币对作者来说意味着困难时期的希望。故选
B。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段“It seemed that a nickel appeared whenever my spirits plummeted. (似乎每当我情绪
低落时，就会出现一枚镍币。)”可知作者总是在心情低落时捡到你镍币，所以同样在车道上，阳光下又看
到了硬币，并且也呼应第四段“I noticed something up ahead - a pair of nickels, shining like precious jewels. (我注
意到前面有什么东西——一对五分镍币，像珍贵的珠宝一样闪闪发光。)”所以A选项是文章最好的结尾，
故选A。
C
The streets and roofs of cities all absorb heat, making some urban areas hotter than rural ones. These “urban heatislands” can also develop underground as city heat spreads downward, and subway tracks and other subsurface
infrastructure(基础设施) also constantly radiate warmth into the surrounding earth.
A new study of downtown Chicago shows underground hotspots may threaten the very same structures that give
off the heat in the first place. “Without anyone realizing it, the city of Chicago’s downtown was deforming,” says
study author Rotta Loria, an environmental engineer.
Humans aren’t the only potentially affected. “For a lot of things in the subsurface, it’s kind of ‘out of sight, out
of mind’,” says Grant Ferguson, a geologist. But the underground world is full of creatures that have adapted to
subsurface existence such as insects and snails. As the temperature rises because of climate change and underground
urban development, scientists are keeping eyes on the potential implications for underground ecosystems.
But the question of how underground hotspots could affect infrastructure has gone largely unstudied. Because
materials expand and contract with temperature change, Rotta suspected that heat coming from underground could
be contributing to wear and tear on various structures. To understand how underground temperature difference has
affected the ground’s physical properties, he used a computer model to simulate(模拟) the underground environment
from the 1950s to now—and then to 2050. He found that by the middle of this century, some areas may lift upward
by as much as 0.50 inch or settle by as much as 0.32 inch, depending on the soil makeup of the area involved. Though
these may sound like small displacements, Rotta says they could cause cracks in the foundations of some buildings,
causing buildings to fall.
Kathrin Menberg, a geoscientist in Germany, says these displacement predictions are far beyond her guesses
and could be linked to the soft, clay-heavy soils. “Clay material is particularly sensitive,” she says, “It would be a big
issue in all cities worldwide that are built on such material.”
Like climate change above the surface, underground changes occur gradually. “These effects took decades to
develop,” Ferguson says, adding that increased underground temperatures would likewise take a long time to dissipate
on their own. “We could basically turn everything off, and it’s going to remain there, the temperature signal, for
quite a while.”
But Ferguson says this wasted heat energy could also be reused, presenting an opportunity to both cool the
subsurface and save on energy costs. Still, this assumption could fail as aboveground climate change continues to
boost underground warming. However slowly, this heat will gather beneath our feet. “It’s like climate change,” Rotta
Loria says. “Maybe we don’t see it always, but it’s happening.”
27. The author quotes Rotta Loria in Paragraph 2 mainly to _______.
A. make a prediction B. highlight a finding
C. draw a conclusion D. raise an assumption28. What can we learn from this passage?
A. “Urban heat islands” extend underground to spare ecosystems.
B. Surface climate change contributes to the reuse of underground heat.
C. Underground temperatures mirror the ground’s physical characteristics.
D. Buildings may collapse as a potential consequence of underground heat.
29. What does the underlined word “dissipate” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?
A. Show. B. Stay. C. Develop. D. Disappear.
30. What does the author intend to tell us?
A. Underground climate change is a silent danger.
B. Humans fail to notice the dramatic climate change.
C. Cooling the subsurface helps control urban heat rises.
D. Researching underground heat helps save on energy costs.
【答案】27. B 28. D 29. D 30. A
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文，介绍了城市的热量正在向地下传播，这会影响到一些地面建筑材料，且这种
变化是不易察觉的，是一种无声的危险。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The streets and roofs of cities all absorb heat, making some urban areas hotter
than rural ones. These “urban heat islands” can also develop underground as city heat spreads downward, and
subway tracks and other subsurface infrastructure(基础设施) also constantly radiate warmth into the surrounding
earth.(城市的街道和屋顶都会吸收热量，这使得一些城市地区比农村地区更热。随着城市热量向下传播，
这些“城市热岛”也会在地下发展，地铁轨道和其他地下基础设施也会不断向周围的地球辐射热量)”说明
城市热量在向地下发展，第二段““Without anyone realizing it, the city of Chicago’s downtown was
deforming,” says study author Rotta Loria, an environmental engineer.(“在没有人意识到的情况下，芝加哥市
中心正在变形，”研究报告的作者、环境工程师罗塔·洛里亚说)”引用Rotta Loria的话突出了这一发现。
故选B。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Because materials expand and contract with temperature change, Rotta
suspected that heat coming from underground could be contributing to wear and tear on various structures.(由于材
料会随着温度的变化而膨胀和收缩，罗塔怀疑来自地下的热量可能会导致各种结构的磨损)”及“He found
that by the middle of this century, some areas may lift upward by as much as 0.50 inch or settle by as much as 0.32inch, depending on the soil makeup of the area involved. Though these may sound like small displacements, Rotta
says they could cause cracks in the foundations of some buildings, causing buildings to fall.(他发现，到本世纪中
叶，一些地区可能会向上抬升0.50英寸或下沉0.32英寸，这取决于该地区的土壤构成。虽然这些听起来像
是很小的位移，但罗塔说，它们可能会导致一些建筑物的地基出现裂缝，导致建筑物倒塌)”可知，地下热
量的潜在后果是建筑物可能倒塌。故选D。
【29题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词前文“adding that increased underground temperatures would likewise take a long time
to(他补充说，地下温度的升高同样需要很长时间才能)”及后文“We could basically turn everything off, and
it’s going to remain there, the temperature signal, for quite a while.(我们基本上可以把所有的东西都关掉，温度
信号会在那里停留很长一段时间)”可推知，关掉开关，也不会导致地下温度升高立即消失，因此，地下温
度升高需要很长时间才能消失，划线词与disappear意思一致。故选D。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The streets and roofs of cities all absorb heat, making some urban areas hotter
than rural ones. These “urban heat islands” can also develop underground as city heat spreads downward, and
subway tracks and other subsurface infrastructure(基础设施) also constantly radiate warmth into the surrounding
earth.(城市的街道和屋顶都会吸收热量，这使得一些城市地区比农村地区更热。随着城市热量向下传播，
这些“城市热岛”也会在地下发展，地铁轨道和其他地下基础设施也会不断向周围的地球辐射热量)”及第
二段“A new study of downtown Chicago shows underground hotspots may threaten the very same structures that
give off the heat in the first place.(一项针对芝加哥市中心的新研究表明，地下热点可能会威胁到最初散发热
量的相同结构)”结合最后一段““It’s like climate change,” Rotta Loria says. “Maybe we don’t see it always,
but it’s happening.”(“这就像气候变化，”罗塔·洛里亚说。“也许我们并不总是看到这种情况，但它正在
发生。”)”可知，本文介绍了城市的热量正在向地下传播，这会影响到一些地面建筑材料，且这种变化是
不易察觉的，因此，作者想要告诉我们“地下气候变化是一种无声的危险”。故选A。
D
Climate experts are having a debate: they are asking whether the UK should focus more on adapting to climate
change or trying to prevent it.
David Frost holds that preventing climate change is no longer an option, given the extent to which the Earth
now appears certain to heat up. Despite the many policies which attempt to stop climate change, it now seems
unavoidable that the world will pass the 1.5℃ or 2℃ increases in average global temperature that are likely to induce
large changes in the climate.David Frost is right in that our economies are growing so much slower than we had anticipated. Our emissions
can drop if we reduce emissions per unit of GDP we create—but they can also drop if the GDP is lower. Lower growth
means it is more feasible (可行的) for us to achieve targets such as Net Zero, but it also makes it less environmentally
urgent to achieve those targets so soon, because we are and have been emitting a lot less carbon than we had
anticipated.
The UK authority finds the debate about adaptation difficult. Partly, it is because some activists claim that
adaptation is not feasible. They say that climate change will end human civilization, potentially leading to the entire
extinction of the human race.
However, the mainstream view of many scientists and economists, who work on climate change, is that global
warming could lead to large changes in our environment. Significant parts of the world currently heavily populated
could become effectively uninhabitable while other parts currently unsuitable for high-density human habitation
would become more habitable. Meanwhile, at higher temperatures both climate and weather are likely to become
more volatile—including increased frequency of storms, flooding and other weather events.
These would be significant changes, but it would be perfectly feasible for humans to adapt to them. The issue is
not whether adapting would be technically feasible, but whether it would be desirable either in ethical or practical
terms. Are we willing to accept a materially warmer world, with humans living in different parts of it? Are we willing
to accept the possible extinctions of certain species and the greater flourishing of those currently less successful and
of new species yet to evolve? Are we willing to accept the consequences of a large shift in the patterns of human
habitation across the world?
It is by no means clear on what basis we ought to ethnically privilege the plants and animals that flourish under
today’s climate over those that would flourish under a warmer, more volatile climate. However, adaptation will be
feasible and is a necessity given the extent to which warming is now unavoidable. Slower GDP growth and thus
slower climate change ought to make greater efforts at adaptation more attractive.
31. According to the passage, who hesitate(s) to adapt to the climate change?
A. The government. B. Climate experts.
C. David Frost. D. The activists.
32. The underlined word “volatile” in Paragraph 5 probably means ________.
A. changeable B. predictable C. bearable D. noticeable
33. The questions in Paragraph 6 are mainly aimed at __________.
A. expressing doubts about people’s adaptability
B. presenting examples of future climate patternsC. highlighting the consequences of human activities
D. helping people decide on their openness to adaptation
34. Which of the following might the author agree with?
A. Slowing climate change deserves great efforts.
B. Global warming is preventable to some extent.
C. Adaptation to climate change is beyond question.
D. Protection of the current species should be prioritized.
【答案】31. A 32. A 33. D 34. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要讲述了目前关于如何应对气候变化有两种不同观点——适应气候变化或
者阻止气候变化，但作者认为适应气候变化是可行的和必要的。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据2段的“David Frost holds that preventing climate change is no longer an option, given the
extent to which the Earth now appears certain to heat up.(大卫·弗罗斯特(David Frost)认为，考虑到地球现在似
乎肯定会变暖的程度，阻止气候变化不再是一种选择。) ”可以判断Frost是支持适应气候变化的，根据第
4段“The UK authority finds the debate about adaptation difficult. Partly, it is because some activists claim that
adaptation is not feasible. They say that climate change will end human civilization, potentially leading to the entire
extinction of the human race.(英国当局发现，有关适应气候变化的辩论很困难。部分原因是一些活动人士声
称适应气候变化是不可行的。他们说，气候变化将终结人类文明，有可能导致整个人类灭绝。)”可知英国
当局对关于适应论的争论犯了难，即不知道该支持哪边，对是否去适应气候变化存疑。故选A。
【32题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第五段破折号后的“including increased frequency of storms, flooding and other weather
events(包括暴风雨、洪水和其他天气事件的频率增加)”可知，风暴、洪水和其他天气事件发生的频率增加，
由此可推测出，气候和天气可能变得更加多变。volatile意为“易变的”，与changeable意思最接近。故选
A。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段中的“The issue is not whether adapting would be technically feasible, but whether it
would be desirable either in ethical or practical terms.(问题不在于适应在技术上是否可行，而在于从道德或实
践角度来看是否可取。)”可知，从技术上来说适应气候变化是可行的，但问题是从道德或实践角度来看适
应气候变化是否可取。接下来“Are we willing to accept a materially warmer world, with humans living in
different parts of it? Are we willing to accept the possible extinctions of certain species and the greater flourishingof those currently less successful and of new species yet to evolve? Are we willing to accept the consequences of a
large shift in the patterns of human habitation across the world?(我们是否愿意接受一个实质上更温暖的世界，
人类生活在这个世界的不同地方？我们是否愿意接受某些物种可能灭绝，以及那些目前不太成功的物种和
尚未进化的新物种更加繁荣？我们是否愿意接受世界各地人类居住模式发生重大转变的后果？)”用提问的
方式引发人们思考是否能接受气候变化带来的影响。由此可推测出，这些问题旨在帮助人们确定自己对适
应的接受性。故选D。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“However, adaptation will be feasible and is a necessity given the extent to
which warming is now unavoidable.(然而，考虑到气候变暖目前不可避免的程度，适应将是可行的，也是必
要的。)”可知，作者认为气候变暖是不可避免的，所以适应是可行的和必要的，由此可推测出，作者认为
适应气候变化是毋庸置疑的。故选C。
第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）
根据短文内容， 从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项， 并在答题卡上将该
项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Adults are often embarrassed about asking for aid. It’s an act that can make people feel emotionally
unsafe.____35____Seeking assistance can feel like you are broadcasting your incompetence.
New research suggests young children don’t seek help in school, even when they need it, for the same reason.
Until recently, psychologists assumed that children did not start to care about their reputation and their friends’
thoughts about them until around age nine.
But our research suggests that as early as age seven, children begin to connect asking for help with looking
incompetent in front of others. At some point, every child struggles in the classroom.____36____
To learn more about how children think about reputation, we created simple stories and then asked children
questions about these situations to allow kids to showcase their thinking.
Across several studies, we asked 576 children, ages four to nine, to predict the behavior of two kids in a story.
One of the characters genuinely wanted to be smart, and the other merely wanted to seem smart to others. In one
study, we told children that both kids did poorly on a test.____37____The four-year-olds were equally likely to choose
either of the two kids as the one who would seek help. But by age seven or eight, children thought that the kid who
wanted to seem smart would be less likely to ask for assistance. And children’s expectations were truly “reputational” in
nature-they were specifically thinking about how the characters would act in front of others. When assistance could
be sought privately (on a computer rather than in person), children thought both characters were equally likely to askfor it.
____38____Teachers could give children more opportunities to seek assistance privately. They should also help
students realize asking questions in front of others as normal, positive behavior. ____39____Parents could point out
how a child’s question kicked off a valuable conversation in which the entire family got to talk and learn together.
Adults could praise kids for seeking assistance. These responses send a strong signal that other people value a
willingness to ask for aid and that seeking help is part of a path to success.
A. Kids could be afraid to ask their parents for help.
B. Seeking help could even be taught as socially desirable.
C. In another study we told them that only one kid did poorly.
D. Such reputational barriers likely require reputation-based solutions.
,
E. The moment you ask for directions after all, you reveal that you are lost.
F. But if they are afraid to ask for help because their classmates are watching, learning will suffer.
G. We then asked which of these characters would be more likely to raise their hand in front of their class to ask
the teacher for help.
【答案】35. E 36. F 37. G 38. D 39. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。给读者提供建议，如何解决孩子因为害怕在他人面前呈现自己的无能而不愿提
问寻求帮助这一问题。
【35题详解】
上文“Adults are often embarrassed about asking for aid. It’s an act that can make people feel emotionally unsafe.
(成年人在寻求援助时常常感到尴尬。这是一种会让人们感到情绪不安全的行为。)”指出，成年人不愿意
寻求帮助，是因为会让他们感到情绪不安全。下文“Seeking assistance can feel like you are broadcasting your
incompetence. (寻求帮助可能会让人觉得你在散播自己的无能。)”指出，寻求帮助会让人觉得你无能。选
项E“The moment you ask for directions, after all, you reveal that you are lost. (毕竟，当你问路的那一刻，你
就表明你迷路了。)”延续上文，以问路表明自己的迷路这一例子呈现出为什么会让人感到情绪不安全，也
呈现出下文所说的表明了“你”的无能，故符合语境。故选E项。
【36题详解】
上文“But our research suggests that as early as age seven, children begin to connect asking for help with looking
incompetent in front of others. At some point, every child struggles in the classroom. (但我们的研究表明，早在
七岁时，孩子们就开始将寻求帮助与在他人面前看起来无能联系起来。在某些时候，每个孩子都在教室里
挣扎。)”指出，孩童也会讲寻求帮助和让他人觉得自己无能联系起来。选项F“But if they are afraid to askfor help because their classmates are watching, learning will suffer. (但是，如果他们因为同学在看而不敢寻求
帮助，学习就会受到影响。)”进一步指出，如果孩子因为害怕呈现出自己的无能而不寻求帮助，这会带来
不良影响。故选F项。
【37题详解】
上文“In one study, we told children that both kids did poorly on a test. (在一项研究中，我们告诉孩子们，两个
孩子在测试中都表现不佳。)”指出，在一个研究中，参与者得知了有两个孩子在测试中表现不佳这一情况。
选项G“We then asked which of these characters would be more likely to raise their hand in front of their class to
ask the teacher for help. (然后，我们问这些角色中哪一个更有可能在课堂前举手向老师寻求帮助。)”延续上
文，继续指出这个研究的下一个动作为：判断这两个孩子谁更有可能寻求老实的帮助。故选G项。
【38题详解】
下文“Teachers could give children more opportunities to seek assistance privately. (教师可以给孩子们更多的机
会私下寻求帮助。)”指出，教师应该多私下提供机会帮助孩子们。选项 D“Such reputational barriers likely
require reputation-based solutions. (此类声誉障碍可能需要基于声誉的解决方案。)”指出，这类问题的解决
需要一些特定的方案，下文是对这一表述的具体建议之一，故此句符合该语境要求。故选D项。
【39题详解】
上文“They should also help students realize asking questions in front of others as normal, positive behavior. (他
们还应该帮助学生认识到在别人面前提问是一种正常的、积极的行为。)”指出，要教育学生认识到在他人
面前提问是正常的行为。选项B“Seeking help could even be taught as socially desirable. (寻求帮助甚至可以被
认为是社会所需要的。)”指出寻求帮助是这会所需要的，这进一步佐证上文观点，让“在他人面前提问是
正常积极的行为”这一观点根据可信度，符合语境。故选B项。
第三部分：书面表达 （共两节，32分）
第一节 （共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分）
阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
The other day I was having coffee and catching up with Brian, a friend I hadn’t seen in over a year, when he
asked me this question: “Do you regret leaving Google?” “Of course, I don’t regret it,” I answered. But when I
reflected more deeply on his question, I arrived at this realization: We cannot regret something that has taught us
valuable lessons in life.
Truth is, not every decision we make will be the right choice for us. I learned later that quitting my one and only
source of income to start an e-commerce business from nothing was a recipe for financial disaster. No, that decision
was not the right one at the time. Perhaps I should’ve followed the advice I give today: Build your business whileworking a full-time job so that you can work from a place of stability. But then again, I wouldn’t have learned such
a valuable lesson had I not acted upon what was truly important to me at the time—the freedom of pursuing my own
dream, on my own terms.
We regret what’s in the past and can’t be changed. We compare the choices we made yesterday to an ideal path
that we think we should have taken—we simply imagine it to be a better path. What is worse is when stuck in regret,
we lose our control over what matters most: What we do with our time, today.
There’s a much better way to look at regret—a more mindful way—and it can be seen at a place where action,
reflection, and gratitude meet.
So whenever you find yourself caught in regret, stop and ask yourself these two questions: “What have I learned
from this? And how have I grown because of it?” Perhaps you might just shift your viewpoint from that of being
upset and regretful to being appreciative and grateful.
40. What did Brian’s question make the writer realize?
___________________________________________________________
41. List the two words the author uses to describe the viewpoint people should take when facing regret.
___________________________________________________________
42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
When people get stuck in regret, what makes the situation worse is that past choices can’t be changed.
___________________________________________________________
43. What has been your biggest regret during your high school life? What have you learned from this? (In about
40 words)
___________________________________________________________
【答案】40. Brian’s question makes the writer realize that we cannot regret something that has taught us valuable
lessons in life.
41. Appreciative and grateful
42. When people get stuck in regret, what makes the situation worse is that past choices can’t be changed.
Reason: When people get stuck in regret, what makes the situation worse is that we lose our control over what matters
most: What we do with our time, today.
43. The biggest regret during my high school life is that I did not study hard and treasure the valuable time and could
not be admitted to my ideal university. I realized the problem in my college, so I worked hard on my major and have
made some achievements in my major finally. So I accept my regret and learn something from it and consider the
regret as a valuable experience.【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文通过作者的自身经历表达了我们不应该为所做的决定后悔和遗憾，应从沮
丧和遗憾转变为感激和感激。
【40题详解】
考查细节理解。根据文章第一段“But when I reflected more deeply on his question, I arrived at this realization:
We cannot regret something that has taught us valuable lessons in life. (但当我更深入地思考他的问题时，我意
识到：我们不能后悔那些在生活中教会了我们宝贵教训的事情。)”可知，朋友的问题使我意识到我们不能
后悔那些在生活中教会了我们宝贵教训的事情。故答案为Brian’s question make the writer realize that we cannot
regret something that has taught us valuable lessons in life。
【41题详解】
考查细节理解。根据文章最后一句“So whenever you find yourself caught in regret, stop and ask yourself these
two questions: “What have I learned from this? And how have I grown because of it?” Perhaps you might just shift
your viewpoint from that of being upset and regretful to being appreciative and grateful. ( 所以，当你发现自己陷
入后悔之中时，停下来问问自己这两个问题：“我从这件事中学到了什么？我是如何因此而成长的呢？”
也许你可以把你的观点从沮丧和遗憾转变为感激和感激。)”可知作者用来描述人们在面对后悔时应该采取
的观点的两个词是appreciative和grateful。故答案为Appreciative and grateful。
【42题详解】
考查细节理解。根据文章第三段“What is worse is when stuck in regret, we lose our control over what matters
most: What we do with our time, today.(更糟糕的是，当陷入后悔之中时，我们会失去对最重要的事情的控制：
我们今天如何利用我们的时间。) ”可知“When people get stuck in regret, what makes the situation worse is
that past choices can’t be changed. (当人们陷入悔恨时，更糟糕的是过去的选择无法改变。)”这句话是错误
的，当人们陷入悔恨时，更糟糕的不是过去的选择无法改变。而是我们会失去对最重要的事情的控制：我
们今天如何利用我们的时间。故答案为 When people get stuck in regret, what makes the situation worse is
that past choices can’t be changed. Reason: When people get stuck in regret, what makes the situation worse is that
we lose our control over what matters most: What we do with our time, today.
【43题详解】
开放性试题，言之有理即可。这篇文章表达了我们不应该为所做的决定后悔和遗憾，应从沮丧和遗憾转变
为感激和感激。我们人生当中都有后悔的事情，关键是我们面对后悔和遗憾的态度。故答案可为 The
biggest regret during my high school life is that I did not study hard and treasure the valuable time and could not be
admitted to my ideal university. I realized the problem in my college, so I worked hard on my major and have madesome achievements in my major finally. So I accept my regret and learn something from it and consider the regret as
a valuable experience.
