Financial Education-Awareness Dilemma
When it comes to financial education, the majority of today's youth will regard it as a necessity for certain
specific people who want to make their career in the financial world. ___35___ Actually, elementary financial
education is a must for all, as money transaction is an essential part of our day-to-day life.
Suppose you have $100 in a saving account that pays simple interest at the rate of 2%per year. lf you leave the
money in the account, how much will you have accumulated after 5 years: more than $102, exactly $102, or less
than $102? The test might look simple, but only half of the people surveyed gave the correct answer.
___36___The explanation goes as follows: People with low levels of financial literacy suffer from that lack ofknowledge at every stage of their lives. Researchers on this subject say people with a high degree of financial
literacy are more likely to plan for their retirement. ___37___
On the contrary, people who have a lower degree of financial literacy tend to borrow more, accumulate less
wealth, and pay more in fees related financial products. They are less likely to invest, more likely to experience
difficulty with debt, and less likely to know the terms of their mortgages and other loans. Thus, the cost of this
financial ignorance is very high. ___38___
What is the solution? ___39___ Like reading and math, financial education must become part of the core
curriculum in our schools. Likewise, parents should engage in regular, constructive conversations about money
matters. This will give their kids a solid foundation for financial well-being, which will keep on giving returns
throughout the course of their lives.
A. Financial education must start early.
B. However, they miss an important point.
C. Why does each of us have to face a financial challenge?
D. Why does financial literacy matter so much in our society'?
E. Rich people are generally better educated on financial management.
F. Besides, these people have more than double the wealth of people who don’t.
G. For example, they frequently make late credit card payments, overspend their credit limit, etc.
【答案】35. B 36. D 37. F 38. G 39. A

saw.___15___ If they don’t, they’re making a conscious effort not to.A. How Smiling Affects Those Around You
B. Each time you smile, you throw a little feel-good party in your brain.

At a time like the pandemic, not only do we miss hugs, but we need them. Touching someone reduces our own
stress. ___36___ . An expert said, “A warm touch is how our systems reach one another. It says we are safe, we are
loved, and we are not alone.”
___37___ . If you need a hug, take precautions. Wear a mask. Give and take your hugs outdoors. Try to avoid
touching the other person’s body or clothes with your face or your mask during a hug.
During a hug, the position of the faces matters most. The two of you should point your faces in opposite directions.
Quickly approach each other and briefly embrace. ___38___ . And do the hug quickly. When you have finished
hugging, back away quickly so you do not breathe onto each other’s faces. Wash your hands afterward.
Don’t hug face to face. This position is a higher risk because the faces are so close. When the shorter person looks
up, their breath travels up into the taller person’s breathing zone. ___39___ if the taller person is looking down.
Do let your child hug you around the waist or knees. Hugging at the knee or waist level lowers risk for direct
exposure because faces are far apart. However, there is potential for the child’s face to pollute the adult’s clothing. You
might change clothes and should wash your hands after a visit that includes hugs with a child. ___40___ .
“Most hugs last less than 10 seconds. Back away at least six feet before talking again. Holding your breath stops
you from exhaling any virus into their breathing zone,” an expert said.
A．It calms our nervous system
B．The huggers’ breaths can be mixed
C．The shorter person will feel pressed
D．Children are those who need hugs most
E．Do not talk or cough while you are huggingF．However，some hugs are riskier than others
G．The adult also should not breathe down on the child
【答案】36．A 37．F 38．E 39．B 40．G
【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍的是拥抱时的一些注意事项。
36．根据前文的“Touching someone reduces our own stress.”（拥抱别人会减少我们自己的压力。）可知，拥抱
别人的好处是减少压力。后文应该承接的是，拥抱的其他好处。A选项“It calms our nervous system.”（它能安
抚我们的神经系统），与此对应，都介绍的是拥抱的好处，其中的it指代的就是touching someone。故选A。
37．根据上文“It says we are safe, we are loved, and we are not alone.”（它表明我们是安全的，我们被爱着，我
们并不孤单。）可知，上文介绍了拥抱的好处，根据下文“ If you need a hug, take precautions.”（如果你需要
一个拥抱，要做好准备。）可知，此处介绍了拥抱时的预防措施。故设空处应该指出的是有时候，拥抱是危险
的，这样才需要我们注意。F项“However，some hugs are riskier than others.”（然而，有些拥抱比其他的更危
险）承上启下，符合语境。故选F。
38．根据前文的“Quickly approach each other and briefly embrace.”（快速接近对方并短暂拥抱。）可知，此处
讲述的是要快速地短暂地拥抱别人。根据下文的“And do the hug quickly. ”（快速的拥抱别人），可知设空处
应该强调的是，在拥抱别人的时候不要有任何的其他耽误时间的动作，如说话或者咳嗽等。故E项“Do not
talk or cough while you are hugging.”（拥抱时不要说话或咳嗽）与此对应，是递进关系。故选E。
39．根据前文的“When the shorter person looks up, their breath travels up into the taller person’s breathing zone. ”
（当矮的人抬头时，他们的呼吸会进入高个人的呼吸区。）以及根据空后的“ if the taller person is looking
down.”（如果那个高个子往下看。）可知，当身高不同的两个人拥抱的时候，矮的人抬头时，呼吸会进入到高
个人的呼吸区，反之，高个子的人向下看时，其呼吸也会进入到矮个子人的呼吸区。故B选项“The huggers’
breaths can be mixed.”（拥抱者的呼吸有可能是混合的。）与此对应。故选B。
40．根据空前的“You might change clothes and should wash your hands after a visit that includes hugs with a child.
”（你可能会换衣服并且应该在与孩子拥抱后洗手。）可知，此处讲述的关键词是child和adult。G选项“The
adult also should not breathe down on the child.”（成年人也不应该向孩子呼气。）承接上文，讲述的是在和孩子

Are You a Prisoner of Perfection?
Do you struggle for a goal that is beyond your reach? ___35___ Are you setting yourself up for failure and
shame when you can’t achieve the unachievable? Understanding what drives perfectionism is the first step toward
releasing this self-created anchor that keeps us stuck.Shame and fear are often the hidden drivers of perfectionism. We believe that if we can fashion a perfectly
polished personality, flash our intelligence, and perfect our humour, then no one can hurt us with criticism and we’ll
win respect and approval.
___36___ Politicians who display a desperate need to be right and refuse to acknowledge mistakes or
uncertainty are often driven by a secret shame. They fear that showing vulnerability(弱点) will expose them to the
accusation that they’re weak. They stick to a desire to be right, perfect, and polished, even when it’s obvious that the
emperor has no clothes.
Perfectionism keeps us leaning toward the future. We’re constantly evaluating ourselves in order to do better.
___37___ However, if we can’t relax and enjoy lighter moments, then we become prisoners of our perfectionism. We
get painfully self-conscious and take ourselves too seriously. Sadly, we deprive(剥夺) ourselves of the simple pleasure
of enjoying the moment and being ourselves.
___38___ We realize that failing at any enterprise doesn’t mean that we are a failure. Without failures, we’ll
never learn from our mistakes; we’ll never move forward in our lives. Those who succeed have made countless
mistakes. The important thing is to learn from our error, forgive ourselves and move on.
Being human, perfection is impossible. ___39___ Releasing ourselves from the desire to protect our image,
we’re freed to sail gracefully through our successes and failures—and enjoy our precious life.
A．Do you hold an idealized vision that is impossible to realize?
B．A cure to perfectionism is to make room for our human shortcomings.
C．Do you fear that others will be horrified by what you judge about yourself?
D．The addiction to staying perfect protects us from any sign of being imperfect.
E．There’s nothing wrong with wanting to do our best and self-correcting along the way.
F．People who are addicted to perfection are often isolated, even if they seem outgoing and popular.
G．By accepting ourselves as we are and doing our best, we begin to rid the shame that drives perfectionism.
【答案】35．A 36．D 37．E 38．B 39．G
【分析】这是一篇说明文。羞耻和恐惧往往是完美主义背后的驱动力。如果我们能塑造一个完美的人格，展示
我们的智慧，完善我们的幽默，那么没有人可以用批评来伤害我们，我们会赢得尊重和认可。
35．根据上文Do you struggle for a goal that is beyond your reach?可知本空为列举完美主义带来的问题是为一个
你无法达到的目标而奋斗、有一个无法实现的理想愿景，故选A。
36．本句为段首主题句。根据本段最后一句They stick to a desire to be right, perfect, and polished, even when it’s
obvious that the emperor has no clothes.可知坚持正确、完美和优雅的愿望，即使很明显皇帝没有穿衣服。可知
沉迷于保持完美让我们不能忍受任何不完美的迹象。故选D。37．根据上文We’re constantly evaluating ourselves in order to do better. 为了做得更好，我们不断地评估自己。
下文评价这样的行为“想要做最好的自己，并在过程中自我纠正，这没有什么错。”故选E。
38．根据下文We realize that failing at any enterprise doesn’t mean that we are a failure. 我们意识到，在任何企业
中失败都不意味着我们就是一个失败者。可知本段强调要学会容忍我们人类的缺点是治愈完美主义的方法，故
选B。
39．根据下文 Releasing ourselves from the desire to protect our image, we’re freed to sail gracefully through our
successes and failures—and enjoy our precious life.可知把自己从保护形象的欲望中释放出来，我们就能从容地走
过成功和失败——享受我们宝贵的生命。故本空强调要通过接受我们自己，并尽我们最大的努力，开始摆脱驱
动完美主义的羞耻。故选G。

will have a better idea of when your body is most likely to exercise. If you are not a morning person, do not schedule

your exercise before or at least around these events if possible. Some people would prefer to put it first while others

You should determine your exercise goals. Are you trying to lose weight? Are you trying to improve your
performance? Are you trying to develop a consistent exercise routine? If you are trying to develop a routine, you may
want to exercise in the morning. If you want to improve performance, afternoon or evening exercise may be
best.____19____ Start by working out at different times of the day. By doing that you can know how you feel and find

I am going to discuss some of the choices available to you and which jobs are best suited to you: popular jobs,
more unusual jobs or everyday jobs.
___16___ Some jobs may seem dull but are important to society, while others can appear exciting but are
actually difficult and boring. One example is the so-called “cool job” of being a model or an actor. These people seem
to be living a better life than others. Actually, they have to make far greater efforts than ordinary people and only a few
of them are successful. Meanwhile, those who are successful and famous have to deal with constant media
attention.___17___
Other popular professions include careers in law or business. Many people have ambitions to become successful
as a lawyer or business person. ___18___ These can be well-paid and interesting jobs, but you also have to work long
hours.
On the other hand, some people find more unusual jobs suited to their talents and interests. Once I met a young
man whose job was to check noise pollution in a park zone. He loved camping, and his job was like a holiday for him.
___19___ There are many other people doing unusual jobs, and they love their jobs, which might not be popular, but
are interesting.
Likewise, many ordinary jobs, such as shopkeepers, drivers and barbers, may look plain, but they are necessary
to society. Without them, we would not go about our daily lives.
When you think about your future career, remember some cool jobs can be rather difficult and that some
ordinary jobs can be quite important. ___20___
A．It does not seem that cool now, does it?
B．It was easy to see that he enjoyed doing his job.
C．All of them together, though, help society function.
D．He’s bored as his only neighbors were the birds in the nearby trees.
E．When choosing a career, you should consider all the aspects of a job.
F．They wear diamonds, go to parties and relax on cushions in private jets.
G．However, they may ignore the stress and pressure that come with these jobs.【答案】16．E 17．A 18．G 19．B 20．C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本篇用简洁的语言分析了社会上存在的不同职业，并深入探究了职业表面与其背后
所需要付出的努力和社会价值。
16．根据下文“Some jobs may seem dull but are important to society, while others can appear exciting but are
actually difficult and boring. (有些工作看似枯燥，但对社会很重要，而另一些工作看似令人兴奋，但实际上既
困难又无聊)”可知，我们在选择职业的时候往往只看到其表面。由此可知，我们在选择职业的时候，应全面考
虑这一职业的本身。E项“在选择职业时，你应该考虑工作的各个方面”符合语境，引出下文。故选E。
17．空处位于段末，应承接上文。根据上文“One example is the so-called “cool job” of being a model or an actor.
These people seem to be living a better life than others. Actually, they have to make far greater efforts than ordinary
people and only a few of them are successful. Meanwhile, those who are successful and famous have to deal with
constant media attention (一个例子是所谓的“酷工作”，即当模特或演员。这些人似乎过着比其他人更好的生
