A gd gift is ne that is mre valuable fr the recipient than it is fr the giver. But mst gifts destry value rather than create it. Think f the Christmas-tree-shaped ckie jar that cst yur aunt 530 but is wrth cnsiderably less than zer t yu, psing a mral cnundrum (难题): D yu thrw it right int the trash r wait a cuple f mnths? The ecnmist Jel Waldfgel calls this discrepancy the “deadweight lss” f gifts, and estimates that, n average, it is frm 10 percent t a third f a gift’s price.
One explanatin fr the deadweight lss is a mismatch between desirability and feasibility. Cnsider n gadget that is useful (high disability) but difficult t set up and time-cnsuming t use (lw feasibility). Schlars have fund that givers usually fcus n desirability, and receivers are mre aware f feasibility. Yur friend wh bught yu a fancy wearable fitness tracker prbably thught it was a really cl and helpful gift; t yu, it seems like a massive headache t figure ut, requires an app dwnlad and a mnthly fee, and ffers data that will either make yu feel terrible abut yurself r turn int a life-ruining bsessin. That’s why it is still sitting in yur drawer in its riginal package.
Anther happiness-killing mismatch can ccur between the receiver’s initial reactin and their lng-term satisfactin. As Anna Gldfarb nted in The Atlantic a few weeks ag, givers tend t lk fr “reactin-maximizing gifts” (such as the wife’s ver-the-tp respnse t the car) as ppsed t “satisfactin-maximizing gifts.” Once the giver is nt present t see the receiver’s reactin, the receiver might nt actually be that excited abut scks with her best friend’s face n them.
Smene lking fr a big reactin might be tempted t buy a wildly expensive gift, which pses its wn emtinal prblems. In the wrst cases, they may even be trying t exert dminance ver yu, r manipulate yu int ding them a favr later. Either way, receiving a gift that’s t nice might make yu feel guilty. Accrding t ne 2019 survey frm CmpareCards, 46 percent f respndents felt guilty fr being unable t give a gift wrth as much as the ne they received.
In truth, the biggest benefit t mst gift giving is t the giver herself. Genersity is truly a way t buy happiness. As my clleague Michael Nrtn and his c-authrs shwed in the jurnal Science in 2008, althugh spending mney n neself is weakly related t happiness, spending mney n thers significantly rises the giver’s well-being. Neurscientists have shwn that charitable giving t thers engages the reward system, inducing pleasure in ne f the same ways that alchl and certain drugs d. (Maybe this is the real reasn Santa is s jlly.)
24. What des “deadweight lss” f gifts in para.1 refer t?
A. The value the gift creates rather than destrys.
B. The mney the giver spends n a meaningful gift
C. The gd-will and thughtfulness f the gift giver.
D. The lss f the gift value in the eyes f the receiver.
25. Hw wuld the receiver describe the ‘fancy wearable fitness tracker’ as a gift?
A. Fashinable and practical.B. Unfriendly and upsetting.
C. Desirable and satisfactry.D. Expensive and unwrthy.
26. What makes the receiver nt excited abut scks printed with her best friend’s face?
A. That the giver is nt present t see the receiver’s reactin.
B. That the receiver was expecting smething wildly expensive.
C. Tht the giver is cnfused abut what gift brings satisfactin.
D. That the receiver was expecting smething he/she truly wants.
27. Which f the fllwing best describes the main idea f this article?
A. It is in giving that givers receive.
B. Gift-giving is in mst cases a win-win situatin.
C. The greatest gift yu can give is yur time and attentin.
D. Presents are generally terrible, but they can still bring yu jy.

Thmas Cheatham had planned t study Latin during his time at Hebrn High Schl in Texas. But when he learned that the schl district was ging t ffer a Mandarin(普通话) class, he quickly changed his mind.
“I thught Mandarin wuld be mre beneficial than Latin” said Cheatham, wh is nw in his secnd year f studying the language.

While it’s a difficult language t master, the high schl junir, wh plans t study cmputer engineering, thinks it will be imprtant fr his career. “Chinese is a gd language t knw, especially with China becming a grwing pwer,” he said.
Many experts agree that prficiency(熟练) in a language spken by a billin peple wrldwide will give American students an edge in the glbal ecnmy.
“Peple are lking at China as ur next ecnmic cmpetitr, and interest in Mandarin is grwing fast,” said Marty Abbtt, directr f the American Cuncil(议会) n the Teaching f Freign Languages. “We’re seeing it in all parts f the cuntry.”
Abbtt predicts that as many as 100,000 students are nw studying Mandarin in public and private schls thrughut the US. She said the US gvernment has designated (指定) Mandarin as an “imprtant needs” language and prvides prfessinal develpment prgrams fr teachers. “Our gvernment wants t increase ur language ability fr natinal security and ecnmic cmpetitiveness,” Abbtt added.
At the same time, the Chinese gvernment is spreading knwledge f the Chinese language and culture thrugh Cnfucius Institutes set up in many US states. Fr example, the Cnfucius Institute at the University f Texas in Dallas has been the hme f a Cnfucius Institute fr 10 years. It spnsrs Cnfucius Classrms at 21 lcal public and private schls, where tens f thusands f students are learning Mandarin.
28. Why did Thmas Cheatham decide t study Mandarin instead f Latin?
A. Mandarin was easier t learn than Latin.
B. Mandarin culd be helpful t his future career.
C. Mandarin might help him learn mre abut China.
D. Mandarin culd enable him t study cmputer engineering.

A. a slight advantageB. the utside limit
C. a sharp tne f viceD. an exciting quality
30. Which f the fllwing statements might Marty Abbtt agree with?
A. Mandarin shuld be taught in classrms thrughut the US.
B. Thse skilled at Chinese will be the mst cmpetitive in the future.
C. The US gvernment’s plicy has helped ppularize Mandarin in the US.
D. Americans learn Mandarin because they wrry abut their natinal security.
31. What des the authr mainly talk abut in this passage?

A gd gift is ne that is mre valuable fr the recipient than it is fr the giver. But mst gifts destry value rather than create it. Think f the Christmas-tree-shaped ckie jar that cst yur aunt 530 but is wrth cnsiderably less than zer t yu, psing a mral cnundrum (难题): D yu thrw it right int the trash r wait a cuple f mnths? The ecnmist Jel Waldfgel calls this discrepancy the “deadweight lss” f gifts, and estimates that, n average, it is frm 10 percent t a third f a gift’s price.
One explanatin fr the deadweight lss is a mismatch between desirability and feasibility. Cnsider n gadget that is useful (high disability) but difficult t set up and time-cnsuming t use (lw feasibility). Schlars have fund that givers usually fcus n desirability, and receivers are mre aware f feasibility. Yur friend wh bught yu a fancy wearable fitness tracker prbably thught it was a really cl and helpful gift; t yu, it seems like a massive headache t figure ut, requires an app dwnlad and a mnthly fee, and ffers data that will either make yu feel terrible abut yurself r turn int a life-ruining bsessin. That’s why it is still sitting in yur drawer in its riginal package.
Anther happiness-killing mismatch can ccur between the receiver’s initial reactin and their lng-term satisfactin. As Anna Gldfarb nted in The Atlantic a few weeks ag, givers tend t lk fr “reactin-maximizing gifts” (such as the wife’s ver-the-tp respnse t the car) as ppsed t “satisfactin-maximizing gifts.” Once the giver is nt present t see the receiver’s reactin, the receiver might nt actually be that excited abut scks with her best friend’s face n them.
Smene lking fr a big reactin might be tempted t buy a wildly expensive gift, which pses its wn emtinal prblems. In the wrst cases, they may even be trying t exert dminance ver yu, r manipulate yu int ding them a favr later. Either way, receiving a gift that’s t nice might make yu feel guilty. Accrding t ne 2019 survey frm CmpareCards, 46 percent f respndents felt guilty fr being unable t give a gift wrth as much as the ne they received.
In truth, the biggest benefit t mst gift giving is t the giver herself. Genersity is truly a way t buy happiness. As my clleague Michael Nrtn and his c-authrs shwed in the jurnal Science in 2008, althugh spending mney n neself is weakly related t happiness, spending mney n thers significantly rises the giver’s well-being. Neurscientists have shwn that charitable giving t thers engages the reward system, inducing pleasure in ne f the same ways that alchl and certain drugs d. (Maybe this is the real reasn Santa is s jlly.)
24. What des “deadweight lss” f gifts in para.1 refer t?
A. The value the gift creates rather than destrys.
B. The mney the giver spends n a meaningful gift
C. The gd-will and thughtfulness f the gift giver.
D. The lss f the gift value in the eyes f the receiver.
25. Hw wuld the receiver describe the ‘fancy wearable fitness tracker’ as a gift?
A. Fashinable and practical.B. Unfriendly and upsetting.
C. Desirable and satisfactry.D. Expensive and unwrthy.
26. What makes the receiver nt excited abut scks printed with her best friend’s face?
A. That the giver is nt present t see the receiver’s reactin.
B. That the receiver was expecting smething wildly expensive.
C. Tht the giver is cnfused abut what gift brings satisfactin.
D. That the receiver was expecting smething he/she truly wants.
27. Which f the fllwing best describes the main idea f this article?
A. It is in giving that givers receive.
B. Gift-giving is in mst cases a win-win situatin.
C. The greatest gift yu can give is yur time and attentin.
D. Presents are generally terrible, but they can still bring yu jy.

【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述送礼者认为很有价值的东西可能对于接受者却没有什么价值，文章解释了其原因，最后指出大多数礼物的最大好处是给送礼者自己，为他人花钱能显著提高给予者的幸福感。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Think f the Christmas-tree-shaped ckie jar that cst yur aunt 530 but is wrth cnsiderably less than zer t yu, psing a mral cnundrum (难题): D yu thrw it right int the trash r wait a cuple f mnths? The ecnmist Jel Waldfgel calls this discrepancy the ‘deadweight lss’ f gifts, and estimates that, n average, it is frm 10 percent t a third f a gift’s price.(想想那个圣诞树形状的饼干罐，它花了你阿姨530美元，但对你来说却不值多少钱，这就产生了一个道德难题：你是直接把它扔进垃圾桶，还是等上几个月？经济学家Jel Waldfgel将这种差异称为礼物的‘无谓损失’，他估计，平均而言，这种差异是礼物价格的10%到三分之一)”可知，送礼者认为很有价值的东西在接受者看来没什么价值，故“无谓损失”是指礼物在接受者眼中的价值损失。故选D。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“t yu, it seems like a massive headache t figure ut, requires an app dwnlad and a mnthly fee, and ffers data that will either make yu feel terrible abut yurself r turn int a life-ruining bsessin. That’s why it is still sitting in yur drawer in its riginal package.(对你来说，这似乎是一个非常头疼的问题，需要下载应用程序并按月付费，而且提供的数据要么会让你对自己感觉糟糕，要么会变成一种毁掉生活的痴迷。这就是为什么它仍然原封不动地放在你的抽屉里)”可知，收到一个漂亮的可穿戴健身追踪器对接受者来说是一个头疼的问题，所以接受者可能认为它不友好且令人心烦。故选B。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“As Anna Gldfarb nted in The Atlantic a few weeks ag, givers tend t lk fr “reactin-maximizing gifts” (such as the wife’s ver-the-tp respnse t the car) as ppsed t ‘satisfactin-maximizing gifts.’ Once the giver is nt present t see the receiver’s reactin, the receiver might nt actually be that excited abut scks with her best friend’s face n them.(正如Anna Gldfarb布几周前在《大西洋月刊》上指出的那样，送礼者倾向于寻找‘反应最大化的礼物’（比如妻子对汽车的过度反应），而不是‘满意度最大化的礼物’。一旦送礼者不在现场，看不到收礼者的反应，收礼者可能就不会对印着她最好朋友头像的袜子感到兴奋了)”可知，送礼者倾向于寻找“反应最大化的礼物”，而不是“满意度最大化的礼物”，所以收礼者不会对印着她最好朋友头像的袜子感到兴奋，是因为这不是“满意度最大化的礼物”，即不是收礼者真正想要的礼物，故选D。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第一段中“A gd gift is ne that is mre valuable fr the recipient than it is fr the giver. But mst gifts destry value rather than create it.(好的礼物对接受者来说比送礼者更有价值。但大多数礼物都是破坏价值而不是创造价值)”及最后一段中“Neurscientists have shwn that charitable giving t thers engages the reward system, inducing pleasure in ne f the same ways that alchl and certain drugs d.(神经科学家已经证明，对他人的慈善捐赠会激活奖励系统，以与酒精和某些药物相同的方式产生愉悦感)”可知，文章主要讲述送礼者认为很有价值的东西可能对于接受者却没有什么价值，文章解释了其原因，最后指出大多数礼物的最大好处是给送礼者自己，为他人花钱能显著提高给予者的幸福感，故D项“礼物通常很糟糕，但是它们仍然能给你带来快乐”能够总结本文大意。故选D。

At the same time, the Chinese gvernment is spreading knwledge f the Chinese language and culture thrugh Cnfucius Institutes set up in many US states. Fr example, the Cnfucius Institute at the University f Texas in Dallas has been the hme f a Cnfucius Institute fr 10 years. It spnsrs Cnfucius Classrms at 21 lcal public and private schls, where tens f thusands f students are learning Mandarin.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是中国高铁的优势。
【56题详解】
考查名词。句意：当中国人去其他城市旅行时，他们最好的交通选择是乘坐高铁。best是形容词，修饰名词，chse的名词是chice，意为“选择”，由后面的is可知，空格处用单数，故填chice。
【57题详解】
考查形容词。句意：现在，中国的高铁真的很快，可靠，方便和舒适。空格处用形容词作表语，rely的形容词是reliable，意为“可靠的”，故填reliable。
【58题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：然而，没有身份证就不能购票，这确保了乘客的安全。该空所在句为非限制性定语从句，句子描述客观事实，时态用一般现在时，which指代主句所描述的事情，因此空格处用第三人称单数，故填ensures。
【59题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：此外，价格对普通人来说是负担得起的，火车总是准点进站和出站。根据语境可知，句子表示“火车总是准点进站和出站”，n schedule是固定短语，意为“按时”，因此空格处是n，故填n。
【60题详解】
考查状语从句省略。句意：当（你）乘它旅行时，无论它是停下来还是以300公里/小时的速度行驶，（你）都感觉不到颠簸。根据语境可知，while引导的时间状语从句意为“当（你）乘它旅行时”，是while yu are travelling/traveling by it，主句是被动语态（翻译时变为主动语态“（你）都感觉不到颠簸”），从句主语与主句主语一致且从句含有be动词，常省略从句的主语和be动词，可省略yu are，因此空格处是travelling/traveling。故填travelling/traveling。
【61题详解】
考查代词。句意：“子弹头”列车配备了空调、电视和食堂，是一种很好的旅行和享受方式。空格处用it作形式主语，真正的主语是不定式短语，位于句首，首字母大写，故填It。
62题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：“子弹头”列车配备了空调、电视和食堂，是一种很好的旅行和享受方式。句中is是谓语，空格处用非谓语动词，train和equip之间是逻辑动宾关系，因此空格处用过去分词表被动，作后置定语，故填equipped。
【63题详解】
考查被动语态。句意：此外，您的手机还可以充电，因为座位旁边有足够的电源插座。手机是被充电，句子用被动语态，空前有can，因此空格处是be dne，故填be charged。
【64题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：高铁正在改变中国人的生活习惯，中国人从中受益良多。空格处引导的是非限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词peple是人，因此空格处用关系代词wh，故填wh。
【65题详解】
考查副词。句意：高铁是中国经济腾飞和人民生活水平提高的有力保障。空格处用副词作状语修饰动词guarantees，strng的副词是strngly，意为“强有力地”。故填strngly。
