(2023·福建泉州质检)We all know your student loan will only go so far.So what can you do to save those pennies (便士) and eventually a pretty substantial amount in the long run?Here is some advice from L&S Editor Marianne Lampon.
FOOD
—Buy the supermarket's own-brand products:When it comes to items such as cheese,milk,and more,the own-brand products can be bought much cheaper but without lowering the quality.
—Coupons(优惠券),coupons,coupons:It's really worth hitting the Internet for some extra coupons,especially for meals out with a big group.Keep an eye on restaurants that offer a cheaper set menu or that do 2 for 1 deals on main courses.
STUDENT-ONLY OFFERS
—Freshers' Fair:Say hello to free pens,bottle-openers and a bunch of things you never knew you needed.Freshers get involved!
—Student discount in stores and online:Showing your university ID card will save you at least 10% with a lot of online or offline business.As a result,you'll feel slightly less guilty about buying those new pairs of shoes.
FASHION
The shift from summer to autumn can be a sad time,but it needn't hurt your wallet!
—Accessories(配饰):Basically,wear your summer clothes with warm and comfortable accessories.How about those shorts?Just team them with a pair of tights and you're good to go.
—Charity shops:Going there is the perfect way to stay on-trend and buy things at a super affordable price.
So there it is!Sticking to some of these ideas will really help save some money in the long run,proving a little does go a long way.

(2023·山西太原一模)As thrift was introduced into mainstream pop culture, young people started going to thrift stores for cheaper, fashionable finds. Gen Z consumers state that sustainability is an important factor while making buying decisions. Many choose to shop for a second-hand or resale item of eco-friendly products. Thrift shopping may have once been on the to-do list of people in poverty. But now a rise in eco-conscious thinking has caused young people to pop to thrift stores.
However, scientists recently have come to realize such trendy sustainable practices could actually be less rosy than expected.
Actually, the root of this sustainability dilemma is not only assessing what you use in your life, but the overconsumption. “Buying piles of second-hand clothing doesn't help to build a sustainable future or challenge our addiction to shopping whenever we want them,” says Anna Fitzpatrick, a project coordinator at the Centre for Sustainable Fashion. In some cases, the very existence of second-hand stores can
give us a false sense of guiltlessness. Fitzpatrick adds, “We can clear out our entire wardrobe by leaving what we don't want at a second-hand store with the hope that it'll be put into good use. Instead of buying less, we trick ourselves into thinking we can shop our way out of the problem by donating again and again.”
While shopping second-hand may seem like fun, or even an adventurous activity for fashion lovers, it's absolutely essential for people of limited budget. With thrifting reaching new levels of popularity, a great many people are noticing a rise in prices at their local thrift stores. This can influence those who rely on the used market for everyday wear.
“Actually, they aren't shopping in second-hand shops to be sustainable or cool—they're doing it out of necessity,” says Fitzpatrick. So, when you walk into a thrift shop or really any store, it's important to ask yourself whether it is necessary. While buying second-hand used to be economical and sustainable, it's now about consumption and staying on trend. Just remember, when it comes to your wardrobe, less is more helpful for society and the planet.

Ⅲ.语法填空
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项考古发现:世界上最古老的硬币铸造厂。

1.考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:大约2 600年前,这个地方被用来制造金属货币。设空处在句中作谓语,主语the site与use之间为被动关系,用被动语态;around 2,600 years ago是具体的过去时间,谓语动词用一般过去时;主谓the site为单数。故填was used。
答案:was used
2.考查名词性从句。句意:它位于现在中国河南省的官庄遗址。根据句意再结合空前的介词in可知,设空处引导宾语从句,从句中缺少主语,指“……的东西”,故填what。
答案:what
Using radiocarbon (放射性碳) dating, the researchers came to the
3. (conclude) that the workshop began minting (铸造) operations between 640 BCE and 550 BCE. The discovery of the coin mint is
4. (true) exciting as it shows the existence of a very old coin workshop.
3.考查词性转换。句意:利用放射性碳定年法,研究人员得出结论,该作坊在公元前640年至公元前550年之间开始铸造。空前为定冠词,设空处应填名词,在句中作came to的宾语,故填conclusion。come to the conclusion为固定搭配,意为“得出结论”。
答案:conclusion
4.考查词性转换。句意:铸币厂的发现确实令人兴奋,因为它表明了一个非常古老的硬币作坊的存在。设空处修饰后面的形容词exciting,表示“确实”,应用副词truly。
答案:truly
The coins 5. (make) at the workshop are “spade money”. They replaced 6._________ (shell) during the Spring and Autumn Period.The workshop was close to the city's administrative center,
7. suggests that it may have begun minting coins on government orders.
5.考查非谓语动词。句意:作坊里制造的硬币是“铲币”。are为本句的系动词,动词make与其之间无连接词,应用非谓语动词形式作后置定语,修饰the coins;二者在逻辑上是动宾关系,应用过去分词。故填made。
答案:made
6.考查名词单复数。句意:在春秋时期,它们取代了贝壳。shell为可数名词,根据前面的the coins和they并结合句意可知,此处需用其复数形式。故填shells。
答案:shells
7.考查定语从句。句意:该作坊靠近城市的行政中心,这表明它可能是根据政府命令开始铸造硬币的。逗号前后无连词,由此可知,设空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词为前面整个主句内容,应用关系代词which,并在从句中作主语。故填which。
答案:which
The new study adds fuel 8. a long-standing debate about the origins of currency. Some scholars argue that money 9. (begin) as a way to help trade between merchants and customers. Others say governments created it 10. (allow) for the collection of taxes and debts.
8.考查介词。句意:这项新研究加剧了长期以来关于货币起源的争论。add...to...是固定搭配,意为“把……加到……上”。故填to。
答案:to
9.考查动词的时态。句意:一些学者认为,货币最初是帮助商人和顾客之间进行贸易的一种方式。分析句子结构可知,argue为主句的谓语动词,后面为that引导的宾语从句,从句的主语为money,设空处应填谓语动词形式作从句的谓语;由句意可知,这里说的是很久以前的事,谓语动词用一般过去时。故填began。
答案:began
10.考查非谓语动词。句意:其他人说,政府创建它是考虑到征税和收债。分析句子结构可知,say为主句谓语动词,后面为省略that的宾语从句,从句中created为谓语动词,动词allow与其之间无连词,应为非谓语动词;结合句意可知,征税和收债是政府创建它的目的,因此用动词不定式在句中作目的状语。故填to allow。
答案:to allow
