Saving money is an important skill for everyone, especially for students. As students, we don’t have a lot of pocket money, so we need to use it wisely. Here are some tips for saving money: First, make a budget. Write down how much pocket money you get every month and what you spend it on. This way, you can know where your money goes and avoid spending too much on unnecessary things. Second, avoid impulsive buying. When you see something you like, don’t buy it at once. Think about whether you really need it. If you can live without it, don’t buy it. This can help you save a lot of money. Third, save small amounts of money regularly. You can save your coins every day and put them in a piggy bank. Even a small amount of money can add up to a lot over time. Fourth, look for cheap but good things. When you buy stationery or clothes, you can compare prices in different stores. You can also buy second-hand things if they are in good condition. This can help you save money without reducing the quality of your life. Following these tips, you can develop the habit of saving money and use your pocket money wisely.

There are also two special parts, one for helping others and the other for Brad’s savings. From that day on, Brad always has enough money.

In recent years, new consumption trends (消费趋势) have appeared among Chinese teenagers. These trends show their changing lifestyles and values (价值). One of the most obvious trends is “rational (理性的) consumption”. Unlike before, many teenagers now pay more attention to the practical value of products instead of just buying famous products. For example, when buying a pair of shoes, they will compare the quality (质量), comfort and price carefully. They are also more willing to buy cost-effective products. Besides, more and more teenagers are concerned about the environment. They prefer to buy environment-friendly products. Some teenagers even start “second-hand shopping”. They buy old books, clothes and electronic products. They think this not only saves money but also reduces waste. “Experience consumption” is also becoming popular. Teenagers are willing to spend money on experiences rather than material products. For example, they may spend money on traveling, attending concerts, taking online courses or doing outdoor activities. A 16-year-old boy from Beijing said, “I’d rather use my pocket money to go hiking with my friends than buy a new toy. The memories from the trip are more valuable to me.” These new consumption trends show that Chinese teenagers are becoming more responsible. They are not only thinking about their own needs but also caring about the environment and society. 1．What is the benefit (益处) of “second-hand shopping” according to the teenagers? A．Getting a better user experience. B．Coming up with fashion trends. C．Saving money and reducing waste. D．Buying products of better quality. 2．Which of the following is an example of “experience consumption”? A．Buying a new toy. B．Playing computer games. C．Taking an online course. D．Buying a pair of new shoes. 3．What do these new trends show about Chinese teenagers? A．They are becoming more responsible. B．They have more pocket money. C．They have little interest in value. D．They care more about themselves. People in different countries have different ideas about saving money. 1 Let’s take a look at some interesting saving habits. 2 This teaches them to plan their spending for the whole month. They need to think carefully about what to buy and what to save. 3 For example, they might get a small amount of money for washing the dishes or cleaning their room. This helps them understand that money comes from hard work. In China, many parents open bank accounts for their children. 4 Some children even have their own piggy banks at home and put money in them regularly. 5 In Germany, for example, children are taught to save for big things they want to buy in the future. They learn that if they save a little each week, it will add up over time. No matter where they live, learning to save money is an important skill for everyone. A．They learn to save money from a very young age. B．However, not every country has the same saving habits. C．They believe that saving money is very important for the future. D．In some Western countries, children often earn money by doing housework. E．In Japan, many children get pocket money from their parents once a month. 四、任务型阅读 阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 Do you pay with paper money, credit (信用的) cards, or your phone when you go shopping? People in China may pay with WeChat (微信) on the phones. We seldom use paper money. While WeChat Pay is now a part of life in our country, this way of paying also appears in other countries. A lot of foreign companies and traders have to accept it. According to Xinhua News, about 13 foreign countries have WeChat Pay services for Chinese travelers. Is it good or bad to use WeChat Pay? Will people no longer use paper money in the future? Some discussions appear on the Internet. “I don’t think so. Nearly half of Chinese people live in the countryside. People there can’t enjoy it without good Internet service. And most old people like to use paper money,” said Winnie. “WeChat Pay is convenient and safe. We needn’t tell if the money is real or fake. But paper money is just the opposite. We should encourage people to use WeChat Pay more,” said Kim Smith, a wise man. “For a long time, people will use different payment ways,” said Sunshine. “Traders should allow people to choose the ways they like to pay.” Will paper money disappear in the future?

As students, we don’t have a lot of pocket money, so we need to use it wisely. Here are some tips for saving money: First, make a budget. Write down how much pocket money you get every month and what you spend it on. This way, you can know where your money goes and avoid spending too much on unnecessary things. Second, avoid impulsive buying. When you see something you like, don’t buy it at once. Think about whether you really need it. If you can live without it, don’t buy it. This can help you save a lot of money. Third, save small amounts of money regularly. You can save your coins every day and put them in a piggy bank. Even a small amount of money can add up to a lot over time. Fourth, look for cheap but good things. When you buy stationery or clothes, you can compare prices in different stores. You can also buy second-hand things if they are in good condition. This can help you save money without reducing the quality of your life. Following these tips, you can develop the habit of saving money and use your pocket money wisely. Remember, saving every coin is the first step to becoming financially responsible. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 1．Who is the passage mainly for? A．Parents. B．Students. C．Teachers.

These trends show their changing lifestyles and values (价值). One of the most obvious trends is “rational (理性的) consumption”. Unlike before, many teenagers now pay more attention to the practical value of products instead of just buying famous products.

For example, they may spend money on traveling, attending concerts, taking online courses or doing outdoor activities. A 16-year-old boy from Beijing said, “I’d rather use my pocket money to go hiking with my friends than buy a new toy.

That is 1 money is today. But in the 2 people used many things instead of money. Some countries used cows. Other countries used salt, tobacco or stones. Today there are still some 3 in the world that do not use paper money. One place is the 4 of Yap in the Pacific Ocean. On the island of Yap people use the 5 money in the world—Yap stones. These are round white stones with a hole in the middle. They do not originate (起源) from the island. The Yap men have to go 6 the islands four hundred miles away to get them. Big stones can be twelve feet high as big as two tall men. Small stones 7 as big as a dinner plate. Rich people do not carry the Yap stones. Servants follow 8 rich. Each servant carries a stone or 9 long stick over his shoulder. Today the people on the island use paper money for everyday shopping. 10 for other things they still prefer Yap stones. 【答案】 1．what 2．past 3．places 4．island 5．heaviest 6．to 7．are 8．the 9．a 10．But 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了货币形式的演变，重点讲述太平洋雅浦岛至今仍使用特殊的“雅浦石”作为货币，体现货币文化的多样性。 1．句意：那就是如今的钱是什么样子的。根据“When we think of money, we think of coins and paper bills. That is...money is today”可知，此处需引导表语从句，表达 “……是什么”，“what”可在从句中作表语，符合语境，故填what。 2．句意：但在过去，人们用很多东西来代替钱。根据“But in the...people used many things instead of money”可知，后文“used”是过去时，此处需表示“在过去”，“in the past”是固定搭配，表示“在过去”，故填past。 3．句意：如今世界上仍有一些地方不使用纸币。根据“Today there are still some...in the world that do not use paper money”可知，“some”后接可数名词复数，places“地方”符合“不使用纸币的区域”这一语义，故填places。 4．句意：其中一个地方就是太平洋上的雅浦岛。根据“One place is the...of Yap in the Pacific Ocean”可知，后文“On the island of Yap”明确提及“雅浦岛”，此处需填“island”，构成“the island of Yap”，故填island。 5．句意：在雅浦岛上，人们使用世界上最重的钱——雅浦石。根据“On the island of Yap people use the... money in the world—Yap stones”可知，“the+形容词最高级+in the world”是固定结构，表示“世界上最……的”，结合后文“Big stones can be twelve feet high”，heaviest“最重的”符合描述，故填 heaviest。 6．句意：雅浦的男人必须前往四百英里外的岛屿去获取它们。根据“The Yap men have to go...the islands four hundred miles away to get them”可知，“go to+地点”表示“前往某地”，故填to。 7．句意：小石头和餐盘一样大。根据“引用原文‘Small stones...as big as a dinner plate”可知，句子缺少谓语动词，主语“Small stones”是复数，时态为一般现在时，“are”符合主谓一致，故填are。 8．句意：仆人跟在富人后面。根据“引用原文‘Rich people do not carry the Yap stones. Servants follow...rich”可知，“the+形容词”表示一类人，“the rich”指“富人”，符合仆人跟着富人的语境，故填the。 9．句意：每个仆人肩上扛着一块石头或一根长棍。根据“Each servant carries a stone or...long stick over his shoulder”可知，“long stick”是可数名词单数，此处泛指“一根”，且“long”以辅音音素开头，需用不定冠词“a”修饰，故填a。 10．句意：但在其他事情上，他们仍然更喜欢雅浦石。根据“Today the people on the island use paper money for everyday shopping...for other things they still prefer Yap stones”可知，前后句存在转折关系，日常购物用纸币，其他事用雅浦石，“But”表转折，符合逻辑，故填But。 六、书面表达 1．假设你是李华，你计划为自己想要的一样东西存钱。请根据以下提示，写一篇80词左右的英语短文My Saving Plan，介绍你的存钱计划。 内容提示：1. 你想买什么？多少钱？ 2. 你每月有多少零花钱？ 3. 你打算每周存多少钱？ 4. 你打算用什么方法存钱？ 5. 你从存钱计划中学到了什么？ 要求：1. 包含以上所有要点，可适当发挥。 2. 语句通顺，语法正确，书写工整。 3. 词数80左右。 My Saving Plan ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version My Saving Plan I want to buy a new bike.
