After almost an entire year of not going shopping and vacationing, you find the numbers reflected by your bank account meet your heart's desire.
Now the most important question comes, what to do with the earnings? Should you fulfill dreams of the present, invest in preserving the future or perhaps keep saving it for a rainy day?
Our elders always try to teach us the value of money and its moral weakness. One may be on a winning streak（连续成功）now，but it will not always be so. One will have days when there will be no sunshine but only rain. and their luck will hide behind those thick grey clouds. Save for those rainy days,they say.Do not spend too much,live within a budget,refrain fromcredit no matter how small and save for the future.
Since the very first time we earn our own money from a summer job or earning our first salary, the lessons start. In fact, the pocket money that we receive when we are children begins the process of learning how to best manage one's money.
People often think like this-one day when I have enough money, I will travel the world. Then, once we do earn enough money, tomorrow's plans start shadowing our present ones. However, is it wise to keep living for that future? Will we still enjoy or even be able to backpack in -our 50s? How will we ever enjoy our present if we are constantly living for the future?
Good questions, aren't they? 1 say travel but don' t let yourself run dry, treat yourself to some luxuries but also keep enough for your necessities, and enjoy your present but with a plan for the foreseeable future.Life is for the living. so live it sensibly.
4. Why do elders teach us to save money? A. Because there are more rainy days in life. B. Because no one can win streak. C. Because good days may end. D. Because money can't buy everything.
5. What does the underlined phrase \"“refrain from\" mean in Paragraph 3?
A. select from B. hold back C. rely on D. prefer to 6. What can we infer from the passage? A. We should enjoy ourselves at the right time.
B. We should wait to travel until we have enough money. C. We should live for the future no matter what.
D. We should enjoy ourselves to the fullest when we have money. 7. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Money is something but not everything. B. One should save for rainy days.
C. Live in the moment before you live for the future. D. Live the present wisely for your life.

Preparations for the Tokyo Olympics have suffered another challenge after a survey found that 60% of people in Japan want them to be cancelled,less than three months before the Games are scheduled to open.
Japan has extended a state of emergency in Tokyo and several other regions until the end of May as it struggles to control a fast increase in COVID-19 cases caused by new, more catching variants（变异体）with medical staff warning that health services in some areas are on the edge of breaking down.
The Olympics, which were delayed by a year due to the pandemic, are set to open on 23 July, with the International Olympic Committee（IOC）and organizers insisting that measures will be put in place to ensure the safety of athletes and other visitors, as well as a nervous Japanese public.
The survey, conducted between 7 and 9 May by the conservative Yomiuri Shimbun, showed 60% wanted the Games cancelled as opposed to 39% who said they should be held. “Postponement” — an option abandoned by the IOC — was not offered as a choice.
Of those who said the Olympics should go ahead, 23% said they should take place without audience. Foreign audience have been banned but a final decision on native attendance will be made in June.
Another poll conducted at the weekend by TBS News found 65% wanted the Games cancelled or postponed again, with 37% voting to give up the event altogether and 28% calling for another delay. A similar poll in April conducted by Kyodo news agency found 70% wanted the Olympics cancelled or postponed.
The IOC's vice president, John Coates, said that while Japanese sentiment about the Games “was a concern”, he could foresee no situation under which the sporting events would not go ahead.
8. How many Japanese wish the Olympics would not be held in Tokyo according to the survey? A. 60%. B. 28%. C. 37%. D. 70%. 9. What should be put into consideration if the Olympics open? A. The economic crisis. B. The urban transport.
C. The safety of athletes. D. The health condition of citizens. 10. What is some people's attitude towards foreign spectators in Paragraph 5?
A. Welcome. B. Unfriendly. C. Cold. D. Unsupported. 11. What can we conclude from John Coates'words? A. The Olympics will be stopped this year. B. The Olympics will be put off. C. The Olympics will be held normally. D. The Olympics will take place in other place.
D
The race skywards began inAmerica. In the late1800s, industrialization had driven urban populations and land
prices up, making tall buildings increasingly cost-effective, according to Carol Willis, director of theSkyscraperMuseuminNew York, “The very first tall buildings were office buildings that concentrated a work force, piled one on top of the other in order to make business very efficient, ”she says.
Like all major changes in architecture, the trend wasunderpinnedby engineering. The development of steel framework, which could be used instead of load-bearing stones, made it easier and cheaper to build tall. The coming of the elevator, meanwhile, made living on higher floors far more convenient.
Though similar in shape, today's skyscrapers (摩天大楼) look little like those built in the first half of the 20thcentury. This is mostly thanks to architecture's next major technological shift：the curtain wall.
Postwar developments in manufacturing meant that huge panes of glass could be produced quickly and uniformly, and glass windows soon became the front of choice for high-rises. As well as allowing for greater floor space and more natural light, glass exteriors (外部) help. buildings resist greater windloads.
There are now 191 completed skyscrapers that are at least 300 meters tall. But that doesn't mean our cities will grow taller indefinitely. While each additional story adds sellable floor space, construction costs also rise. All buildings reach a point where adding an extra floor will cost more money than it brings.
“Every city wants to have this landmark that gives that sense of distinct culture, ”but it also needs places for people to live and work in urban settings“without the city sprawling (无序扩张), ”explains Hong Kong architect Simon Chan.
The next big challenge facing architects goes beyond height：At a time when buildings and their construction account for more than a third of the world's energy consumption and contribute about 40% of greenhouse gas emissions(排放), there are new costs to consider.
Whether it's employing more energy-efficient materials, encouraging natural air or using buildings themselves to generate solar or wind energy, reducing carbon emissions is the new frontier for many skyscraper architects.
12. What does the underlined word“underpinned” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Created. B. Prepared. C. Suggested. D. Supported.
13. What made living on higher floors much more convenient?
A. The development of steel framework. B. Load-bearing stones. C. The use of the elevator. D. The curtain wall. 14. What can we know from paragraph 5?
A. Our cities will grow taller definitely. B. All skyscrapers are at least 300 meters tall. C. Construction cost rises as the stories increase.
D. The profit for builders will be greater as the building becomes higher. 15. What's the next big challenge facing architects? A. How to build the greenest building. B. How to build the strongest building. C. How to build the tallest building in the world. D. How to build the most comfortable building. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

Sharing the sweetness
On the 25th of December, my mother expects her children to be present, exchanging gifts and eating turkey. When she pulls on that holiday sweater, everybody better gets festive. Of course, I would be the first Jones sibling___41.___(go)rogue(叛逆). As the middle, artist child, I was going to do my own thing, making some new traditions. From a biography of Flannery O’Connor, I drew inspiration— I would spend the holiday at an artist colony!
No one took my new idea seriously. From the way my mother carried on, you would think I was divorcing the
family. Still I held my ground and made plans for my winter adventure inNew Hampshire. The MacoDowell Colony was ___42.___I could have wished for. About 25 to 30 artists were in attendance, and it was asartsy(艺术的) as I___43.___(imagine). It felt like my life had become a strange independent film.
By Christmas Eve, I had been at the colony for more than a week. The novelty of snowyNew Englandwas wearing off, but I would never admit___44.___. Everyone around me was having too much fun. Skiing! Deep conversation by the fireplace! What was wrong with me? This was the holiday ___45.___I’d always dreamed of. No artificial decoration. Not a Christmas sweater anywhere in sight. People here didn’t even say “Christmas,” they said “holiday.” Then why was I so sad?
Finally, I called home on the pay phone. My dad answered, but I___46.___barely hear him for all the good-time noise in the background. He turned down the volume on the holiday album and told me that my motherwas out shopping with my brothers. Now it was my turn tosulk(生闷气). They were having a fine Christmas ___47.___me.
Despite a heavy snowstorm, a large package showed up near my door at the artist colony on Christmas morning. Tayari Jones was written in my mother’s beautiful handwriting. I rushed to that parcel____48.____I were five years old. Inside was a gorgeous red-velvet cake, my favorite,___49.___(wrap) tightly in about 50 yards of bubble packaging. “Merry Christmas,” read the simple card inside. “We love you very much.”
As I sliced the cake, everyone gathered around. Mother had sent a genuine homemade gift. It was a minor Christmas miracle that one cake managed to feed so many. We ate it from paper towels with our bare hands,___50.___(satisfy) a hunger we didn’t know we had. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节短文改错（满分10分）

Last weekend, my brother and I went to a nursing home for voluntary works. We went there by bus. On the way, we discussed how we could do for the old there. The moment we arrived at there, we were greeted by a
warmly welcome. Seeing that their rooms were dirty, my brother suggested we cleaned them. Two hours later, we had to wave goodbye to them, promise to come back again. We felt proud of us.
