Section Ⅲ　Using language [课时跟踪检测]　　　(标语篇配有教师讲评课件) Ⅰ.阅读理解() Millennials (千禧一代) who conduct “forward­looking financial strategies” tend to be happier and more satisfied with their lives.Following a budget，saving money and shopping less have benefits “beyond the bounds of personal finance”，according to a new study out of the University of Arizona. For the study, researchers collected data from 968 young adults born between the years 1981 and 1996, starting when they were freshmen in college.They followed up with the same students when they were seniors, and then two years later.The study participants answered questions about materialism，their own personal finance strategies such as budgeting and any pro­environmental habits they followed.Students were also surveyed about their mental health, including how satisfied they were with their lives and how they'd rank their personal well­being. “People who save money report better overall well­being，including less psychological pain，”Sabrina Helm，study author tells CNBC Make It.“And people who buy less and consume less show less depressive symptoms，so there's a positive mental health effect.” Not surprisingly，the money­saving strategies improved people's financial satisfaction too.“It gives you peace of mind，” Dr Helm says.“If you're able to put something aside for worse days, and manage to live within your means，it has clear positive effects on mental health.” Certain sustainability efforts also have a similar impact on people's health and happiness.For example，researchers found that the students who consumed less to help the environment were happier than those who simply bought more “green” products.Although many people have been socialized to see products as solutions，simply reducing the number of things you use or buy might be the better tactic for your mental health, Dr Helm explains. “It's normal to get a product to cope with all sorts of things，” Dr Helm says，“but that contributes to climate change.” Luckily，there are concrete tips to “step back from the consumerist approach”，she adds.For example，she suggests keeping a weekly purchase diary and creating a shopping list. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。一项新的研究结果表明，采用积极财务策略以调整自己购买习惯的“千禧一代”，不仅能更合理地规划自己的财务支出，而且收获了个人身心健康等方面的益处。 1．How was the study conducted? A．By making a comparison between financial strategies. B．By keeping track of participants to collect their data. C．By conducting a detailed survey about mental health. D．By asking and answering questions about materialism. 解析：选B　推理判断题。根据第二段的内容可知，研究者一直在追踪同一批受试者，通过询问、调查等具体方式收集数据。 2．Which one of the following statements will Sabrina Helm agree with? A．Consuming less cures people of depressive symptoms. B．Mentally healthier people buy more and consume less. C．Saving money prevents people from psychological disorders. D．One's financial strategies relatively affect overall well­being. 解析：选D　推理判断题。根据第三段中Sabrina Helm所说的话可知，存钱的人总体上会更幸福，消费很少、节约钱的人在身心方面相对会更健康。由此推知，Sabrina Helm会赞成“一个人的财务策略相对来说会影响整体幸福感”这一说法。 3．What does the underlined word “tactic” in paragraph 5 mean? A．Influence.　　　　　 B．Attitude. C．Strategy. D．Consumption. 解析：选C　词义猜测题。根据第五段画线词所在句中的“solutions(解决方法)”和“reducing the number of things you use or buy (减少使用或购买物品的数量)”可知，tactic应为“方法，策略”之意。 4．Which is the best title for the text? A．How Can You Keep Mentally Healthy B．Saving Money Improves Financial Satisfaction C．Millennials Who Buy Less and Save More Are Happier D．Consumers' Shopping Habits Contribute to Climate Change 解析：选C　标题归纳题。由文章第一段内容并结合全文可得出，本文主要讲的是千禧一代遵循预算，多存钱少购物提升了他们的生活幸福感和满意度。 Ⅱ.完形填空 As a child, I dreamed of becoming a scientist.
