She started spending hours surfing the web for coupons, printing them all out to take with her whenever she went shopping.Over the years, she has managed to get some impressive catches.Once, two lamps worth ￡140 cost her just ￡35. Two years ago, Ms Hughes also began using cashback apps where you are given money back on items ranging from beers to toiletries.After each shop, she uploads pictures of her receipts, which are then scanned, and money is given back on certain items. Among her other top money­saving tips, Ms Hughes recommends taking part in paid online surveys, which have earned her hundreds in discount coupons.She says, “I've heard a lot about collecting other people's abandoned receipts from shopping trolleys to check for missed discounts.I can't believe how much coupons and cashback apps have helped me.The community does benefit me a lot.There will always be someone on hand to explain how it works.” 1．What does saving money mean to Clair Hughes?

There are a lot of potential explanations for this.Wage growth has slowed while necessities such as housing and medical care have grown more expensive.The rise of easy credit has made overspending easier than ever.And the number of people who make a budget is decreasing. Now, a team of U．S.and Canadian economists have proposed a new explanation for the declining savings rate, one rooted in individual psychology.At its heart lies a simple observation: Spending is a lot more visible than not spending.Humans are social creatures, and we have a tendency to evaluate our own standing in life relative to how our friends and neighbors are doing.We want to keep up with the Joneses, and stay ahead of the Smiths.Because of this, when we see other people spending money we have a tendency to believe that we can — or should — be spending too.Nowadays, changes in the media landscape have made other people's spending more visible than ever.That, in turn, is making all of us spend even more — and save even less. David Hirshleifer, one of the economists, said that “it's easy to think that you're saving enough because you are not throwing luxury parties or taking expensive journeys the way some people you know are.” But, he warned, “those journeys and parties may not really be typical of your acquaintances — they just stand out in memory.” The economists imply that finding ways to make non­spending more visible might help individuals develop more realistic views of overall spending and saving behavior.“Make a special effort to notice when your friends are careful with money, such as holding on to their 15­year­old car，” Hirshleifer said. 5．Which of the following is a potential explanation for the low saving rate in America? A．The reduction in the income. B．The easy access to money. C．The growing desire for housing. D．The difficulty in sticking to a budget. 6．The “individual psychology” mentioned in paragraph 3 refers to a tendency to . A．show off wealth B．connect with others C．compare oneself to others D．adapt oneself to social change 7．What is the warning of David Hirshleifer? A．It is improper to copy others' spending habits. B．It is unwise to spend more than one can afford. C.One may spend too much on journeys and parties. D．One may have misunderstanding of others' spending habits. 8．What do the economists suggest people do? A．Make good use of money. B．Save as much money as possible. C．Pay attention to non­spending behavior. D．Change overall spending and saving behavior. 【语篇解读】　这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了美国低储蓄率背后的原因以及给人们的消费建议。 5．B　细节理解题。根据第二段“The rise of easy credit has made overspending easier than ever.And the number of people who make a budget is decreasing.(宽松信贷的增加使得过度消费比以往任何时候都容易。做预算的人越来越少)”可知，容易获得金钱是美国低储蓄率的一个潜在解释。故选B。 6．C　细节理解题。根据第三段“Humans are social creatures, and we have a tendency to evaluate our own standing in life relative to how our friends and neighbors are doing.We want to keep up with the Joneses, and stay ahead of the Smiths.Because of this, when we see other people spending money we have a tendency to believe that we can — or should — be spending too.(人类是社会性动物，我们倾向于根据朋友和邻居的表现来评估自己的生活状况。我们要赶上琼斯家的人，走在史密斯家的前面。正因为如此，当我们看到别人花钱时，我们倾向于认为我们也可以——或者应该——花钱)”可知，第三段提到的“个体心理”指的是一种把自己和别人比较的倾向。故选C。 7．D　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“David Hirshleifer, one of the economists, said that “it's easy to think that you're saving enough because you are not throwing luxury parties or taking expensive journeys the way some people you know are.” But, he warned, “those journeys and parties may not really be typical of your acquaintances — they just stand out in memory.”(其中一位经济学家大卫·赫施莱弗说，“你很容易认为自己存够了钱，因为你没有像你所知道的一些人那样举办豪华派对或进行昂贵的旅行。”但是，他警告说，“那些旅行和聚会可能并不是你认识的人的典型特征——它们只是在你的记忆中突出而已。”)”可知，大卫·赫施莱弗的警告是一个人可能对别人的消费习惯有误解。故选D。 8．C　细节理解题。根据最后一段“The economists imply that finding ways to make non­spending more visible might help individuals develop more realistic views of overall spending and saving behavior.‘Make a special effort to notice when your friends are careful with money, such as holding on to their 15­year­old car，’ Hirshleifer said.(这两位经济学家暗示，想办法让不花钱的行为更引人注目，可能有助于个人对整体支出和储蓄行为形成更现实的看法。赫施莱弗说：‘当你的朋友在花钱方面很谨慎时，你要特别注意一下，比如他们那辆开了15年的车是否还留着。’)”可知，经济学家建议人们注意非消费行为。故选C。 Ⅱ．完形填空 (2025·厦门模拟)The Grammy's Music Educator Award recognizes those who have made a significant contribution to music education.
